A food critic has issued an apology after an award-winning chef was left 'disgusted' by his behaviour in his restaurant. Hobart-based Omotenashi chef Lachlan Colwill recounted his experience hosting SA Life writer Paul Wood on Saturday. The chef claimed Wood was ignorant of the etiquette expected at fine-dining restaurants and repeatedly disrupted his other guests.

The situation reached a boiling point when Mr Colwill claimed Wood insulted his friend, prompting him to ask the critic to leave the venue and 'never return'. Wood claimed he left the venue at his own accord and quickly took to Instagram where he told his followers dining at Omotenashi was a 'waste of time' as it served 'probably the worst, overpriced dinner in Hobart'.
Mr Colwill responded by slamming the verdict as not 'coming from a place of critique or thoughtful analysis', the Adelaide Advertiser reported. 'I'm all for journalism and criticism,' Mr Colwill said. 'But how does it feel to be critiqued by someone whose critique doesn't come from any place of professional approach or intelligence?.
