I had a lovely solo dinner and enjoyed every bite tremendously. I had fresh oysters and homemade focaccia (amazing chewy texture and glistening with olive oil and salt!). I also had the daikon salmon parcels which were outstanding! The freshness of the daikon and dill paired perfectly with the richness of the salmon and salmon roe. I almost ordered a second round. The Brussels sprouts were very good but much heavier and probably better to share — I did eat the whole bowl all by myself!
Excellent wine list and lots of drink specials! I wish I could come back to try all their cocktails too.
The service started off friendly but seemed an irritable towards me at the end. Maybe they just had a long night? It left me feeling a little bummed out which is not how I wanted to finish an otherwise splendid experience.

Vic Road Kitchen is a hidden gem in the north shore. The staff and venue create a cozy and friendly atmosphere. Ronan absolutely knows his cocktails. B has a birds-eye view of everything. Definitely ask for recommendations, especially on cocktail glassware. The food is delicious, with a mixture of small and large plates (even the solo diner will feel at home). They have regular specials so be sure to check their instagram before you dine. The cheese platter was my fave (forgot to take a photo oops)

It’s an attractive place. With good service. The yellow belly flounder [$27] was excellent- fresh, very flavorful and a very good sized fish. It is served with charred broccolini and cockles that were also fine. It was the highlight of our meal.
The bruschetta [$19] appetizer with smoked sardines, buffalo curd, radish and fennel on toast as also good. There are three of them in a serving.
The green-lip mussel [$22] appetizer comes with crumbled house made chorizo, olives, tomato and capers. The chorizo and sauce were tasty but the mussels themselves were disappointing. Some of the least flavorful mussels I have ever had.
We also had a side of charred Brussels sprouts [$12] in a date and chili purée. We liked the sprouts but found the sauce terribly sweet.
For dessert we shared the dark chocolate and prune cake [$14]. It is served with a scoop of walnut ice cream and a bourbon syrup. The cake and ice cream were enjoyable but again the sauce was to our taste sickly sweet- very much detracting from instead of enhancing the dish.

We had a pleasant dining experience here. Ordered the Swordfish and the Beef sirloin plus the chips. Food was nicely presented and the greens were fresh, flavors blended really well together. The meat was cooked the way we like it. It was delicious and had generous serving. Place was neat with chill ambiance. Staff were courteous. Would definitely try the other meals on the menu once we visit Devonport again.

My mushroom pizza had hardly any parmesan and the truffle was not detectable unfortunately. The silverbeet was the main ingredient and it was either crunchy or soggy, not consistent at all. It was very greasy and my friends meal was not served at the same time, we had to ask for it. Venue looks nice, music is fine, service is okay, food experience horrible. Dessert was nice, but not outstanding. My dining experience did not meet my expectations.
