Amazing food.. I think this is the best I’ve ver had in Adelaide!! I was on the edge of thinking there aren’t good restaurants in Adelaide. I actually had as room service at the Mayfair hotel, but the food quality was amazing, good portion and it was really tasty!! I’m happy that I was lazy to go out🤣 The ocean trout was cook just perfectly. Beautiful crisp skin and so pink and juicy inside the meat. Chips were tasty and crunchy. Salad was referencing. But the presentation was a bit.. maybe it looks different if it weren’t for room service .
I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I could book a table on the day of (the last time I tried to book a table for a Saturday a week out and they were all booked out). Although it being a Wednesday night might have made a difference.
We ordered the salmon rose, steak tartae, the snails, the mushroom pastry and the charcuterie board. Every single one of those items was a ten out of ten. Everything had intense flavours and the food just melted in your mouth. The charcuterie board probably could have been improved by substituting the sour dough bread out for biscuits instead.
For mains we got the steak on a bone, the lobster bisque (the whole lobster grilled was sold out unfortunately) the salmon pie special and a crab pasta.
While delicious, the mains weren't as fantastic as the entrees. The pasta in my crab pasta was a tiny bit overcooked while the salmon pie was a little dry.
The dessert cart was very special. There were so many choices. I got myself the panacotta, while others on my table got the swan choux pastry, fruit salad and some sort of chocolate dessert. All very delicious and again, ten out of tens.
Overall a great night and I'm definitely looking forward to coming back.
Also, it's not often I'm impressed by toilets, but the toilets here were clean and very impressive.
We dined here for dinner on sat night. We were running late, and informed the staff of our arrival time of 830. We were told 845 was the last sitting, and kitchen was open to 9. We were staying in the hotel and attended the restaurant reception at 836. After standing there for a few mins we were sat down. We were told we could no longer order entrees and we could only order mains due to the kitchen closing? As I write this I still don’t understand. So if I wanted the cold Caesar salad I would not be allowed it? We ordered the lamb Wellington and chicken cordon Bleu. Both were generous sized. Perfectly cooked and served with delicious sauces. We were also given a free piece of Sacher torte as it was my birthday, complete with candle which was special. Prices are standard approx $36, but on generous size. The restaurant, is in the basement, with lovely decor, comfortable bench seating with lovely cushions, and if you are seating the right way you see into the wine room. There is a dessert trolley, which is not my cup of tea, but it is in keeping with the old building, white table cloths and traditional food. Service was a tiny bit lacking. Our water glasses were not refilled once, and were empty by dessert. The couple behind us had their finished plates sitting with them for over 20 mins. Overall it was a pleasant experience with tasty food.
