[Travel Tasmania] Jailhouse Grill @ Launceston

The building that houses Jailhouse Grill is said to have been around since the 1800's. Hehe, I thought it was a themed eatery but turns out to be quite an old skool steakhouse in Launceston area.

Our friends said that it is better to make a reservation prior to visit as the place could get rather busy.

Friendly staff led us to our table as we have a reservation for 8 pax. As we passed by the open-kitchen at the grill station, one could hear the delicious sizzling sounds and the fantastic smells of meat cooking. 

Once seated and menu perused, we speedily ordered our mains and then, we were free to enjoy the salad bar. The salad bar has a small selection of hot and cold items such as greens and pasta.

Scotch Fillet @AUD52

medium rare

Scotch fillet is said to be similar to rib-eye. The version here was firm and meaty. A masculine/macho version of meats. Haha.

We enjoyed the meats with delicious sips of Taverner's Tasmanian Honey Mead that we brought to the restaurant. BYO corkage fee applies hence do enquire at the restaurant. 

The honey mead tasted sweet, mellow with a touch of spice and complemented well with our meal.

cheers

It was a night of interesting banter amongst new and old friends, made even more enjoyable in a cosy environment with delicious foods and drinks.
