Lost Farm - Bridport

Absolutely stunning views and a beautiful sunny afternoon to sit and enjoy the scenery. It’s super windy up there and the room makes a loud creaking noise, however you get used to it after a while. Would recommend heading up here for a drink or food just to check it out!

Disclaimer: I will begin with admitting that this is probably going to be a biased review as I am a huge fan of this place and proudly Tasmanian

The position of the restaurant is spectacular, perched on dunes high above the golf course with views of bass strait and the surrounding town of Bridport. Unfortunately, the view was not enough to make up for the spectacularly bad service and poor quality food served to our group at lunch. The service was deplorable and the gentleman who served us should be employed elsewhere due to his ineptness and rude manner. Our party had been there almost an hour before one of us decided to approach the desk to find out when we would be attended to. Coincidentally, the waiter finally approached our tables and began to take the orders. One of our party attempted to order a dessert at the same time as the main and was curtly told that he would be coming back later. After another long break the food finally arrived. The meals were extremely basic and in many cases overcooked or of poor quality. A basic burger with a few fried potatoes in a cup was $24 and was extremely disappointing and not on par with even a basic milk bar. In regards to the dessert ordering, the waiter never returned to the table and so the thought of dessert was abandoned. At no stage did anyone refresh our water jugs or enquire about the food or whether we were enjoying our time, it just felt like the staff did not care. Why is it that Tasmanian restaurants do not appear to get even the basics right, particularly when our state depends so much on reputation and value for money. The payment of our bills was another shamozzle, taking an extraordinary amount of time and rudeness from the same gentleman who failed in every single respect. I was thinking of taking my wife out to this restaurant but I am afraid that I need more than just a view to make such an effort.

I have to say that this review may come off as biased, as I am a huge fan of this restaurant and proud Tasmanian, so this being my second visit to The Lost Farm speaks volumes. We had an incredible night with excellent service from the moment we walked in. The menu was impressive (I'll be posting pictures of it tonight), and the wine selection was top-notch. The standout dish for me was the eye fillet, which was cooked perfectly rare, just how I like it. Overall, I highly recommend The Lost Farm for a fantastic dining experience.

The restaurant's location is breathtaking, situated on dunes overlooking the golf course with views of Bass Strait and the city of Bridport. However, the stunning view was not enough to make up for the disappointing service and poor quality food we experienced during our midday visit. The service was lacking, with one particular waiter displaying incompetence and rudeness. We waited nearly an hour before someone in our group had to approach the staff to inquire about our order. Eventually, the waiter came to our table to take our orders. One member of our party tried to order dessert at the same time as placing the rest...
