We love this place Great location Terrific service Jag is fantastic

As usual, a lovely experience. Our waiter, Thibault, was charming and the sommelier also very helpful. The duck fat potatoes are incredible. The only improvements would be a couple more vegetarian based options. I had steak which was lovely but I do prefer vegetable based dishes. The side dishes are wonderful, plus the apple tart. The wines by the glass haven’t altered in a year so I think they could offer a couple of new wines by the glass which would be appreciated by the patrons.

Surprised at how nice this place was! Great if you like Indian food flavours

I went to dinner at Leatherwood last Friday, Dec 13th, with a few friends. When I made the booking, I tried to find their menu, but to no avail. A little frustrating, but intriguing at the same time. In hindsight, it really didn't matter. What I was impressed with, and lookingforward to, was that they exclusively use Tasmanian produce. We were seated at a table directly infront of the open kitchen and servery. Our server, John, was lovely and very knowledgeable. It's the first time I have been to a Hilton Hotel, in any capacity, so I was entering with an open mind, but also expecting it to be a bit "grand". Don't get me wrong! It is lovely! But I was pleasantly surprised that it isn't pretentious and has a welcoming ambience. To me, eventhough it's a 5⭐️ hotel, it "feels Tasmanian". Now the food. (I wish I had taken a photo of the menu, so I can give accurate details of the dishes) I started with the scallops. It is 3 half-shells, each containing 3 (albeit small) scallops on cauliflower mash. I was very happy to see that they keep the roe attached. ✔️✔️ Others had oysters, and chicken liver paté. By all accounts everything was lovely! My main was Rack of Lamb done perfectly pink, with chimichurri and beetroot marinated shallots. Others had mussels, Wagyu steak, Market Fish (Blue Eye) and chicken. We shared sides of crispy roasted potatoes, fries, broccollini and Dutch carrots. All plates were (almost licked) clean! Everything was perfect! No-one could fault a thing. We were pleasantly satiated. Even the wines we had exuded warm murmurings. Then they brought us the dessert menu! So ofcourse we had to partake. Most of us had Leatherwood Crème Brûlée, with rhubarb jam and shortbread (don't be fooled by the 4 small hexagonal pieces on the plate. When the server tells you "don't eat them", DON'T. They may look like shortbread, but infact they are bees wax! [We didn't try to eat them]) One of our party had the Apple pie. All plates emptied once again! 10 out of 5 ⭐️❤

We love meeting regularly at Birdsong because it is quiet with large tables and we can linger as long as we like.
