  The food is BLAND beyond comparison despite the price they charge.

  Took absolutely too long for us to get seated, even longer to get a menu and simple water service. We were repeatedly ignored by staff while those seated beside us who ordered the same food were served long before us, despite ordering at the same time!

  Franklin is situated in this large warehouse type building within the Hobart CBD. The high ceilings and the overall space of the place makes it very spacious. We ordered a number of dishes rather than going with the 9 courses "feed me" selection because we were not that hungry. Some dishes like the chicken liver and raw morwong are a hit but some others are a miss like the asparagus and the beef. They are lacking flavour for the price we are paying.

  Calamari was excellent but the octopus was very salty. Crispy potato and brown butter was extremely rich. It was basically a slab of butter between two wafer thin potato "galettes". The service as ANNOYING. Waiter told me TWICE i had to vacate the seat by 8.30pm - the last time he told me this was at 7.10pm and i was already onto my dessert. I felt rushed throughout the dinner by the waiter. However the kitchen staff at the bar were extremely friendly and had great recommendations.

  I loved the look, feel of the restaurant, some of the shared plates my guests and I thought was a little too salty for our palate, potato galette. Good food too, most of the waiting staff were friendly and not pretentious except for one in particular. This could be improved.

  Wouldn't recommend this place anyone. Absolutely overpriced, terrible TERRIBLE service that would have left a terrible impression of my Tasmania trip if it weren't for other good experiences elsewhere.

  I had a fantastic dinner experience here about a month ago. I went with the "feed me" option - you'll get about nine or ten dishes in total (including desserts). Great food and awesome service. The industrial decor looks great too. I would definitely come back for more. Highly recommended.
