I took two non-vegan friends to this booking and they were blown away (along with me) on how good the food was. The waiter we had was amazing, attentive and had great recommendations, Fabulous food and cocktails.

I love the food at Black Hide. Steaks cooked how you want them. Oysters from Coffin Bay just delectable. And a good choice of fine wines by the glass to compliment the meal. Terrific. I’ll be back!

Beautiful spot with excellent service and long menu (ie lots of choice). However, the food was quite mediocre. My partner had calamari and they were so salty. You could barely eat them. I had one he beef carpaccio, which was delicious. I ordered the seafood pasta (bland). My partner had the rabbit pasta (which was salty). Both dishes were not particularly tasty given the high quality of ingredients used. The wines were excellent, as was the choice. A nice place for dinner, but the pastas were subpar.
