What can I say! Went to Hill of Grace for my 54th birthday, first of all I was blown away by the view! Then the food, so many flavours, so fresh & perfectly cooked. I can thoroughly recommend this place!!
Celebrated our 26th Wedding Anniversary. The staff were very friendly and knowledgable regarding the food and wines. The food was beautifully presented and very flavoursome. This is an exceptional restaurant, we would liked only to have had some extra time between courses and be offered coffee toward the end. Of course the view was amazing. A true gem of Adelaide.
We would’ve loved to do the degustation but with our small stomach we opted for the a la carte. We started with some oysters and pan seared scallops. Oysters were really fresh and the scallops were outstanding! Smells amazing too. Followed by the duck for my main and lamb for my fiancé’s main. Cooked to perfection, melt in your mouth, all those foodie comments you can think of. We ended our meal with the chocolate dome - again perfect! But to top it all of is our amazing waitress Emma who made us feel so comfortable and answered all our weird questions 😅 Overall, one of the best dining experience that we’ve had in a very long time. Oh and have I told you that the wines were spectacular?! Pricey dining experience but worth it.
This is my first time writing but I feel like I had to for this place. The food, the ambience, the view of the stadium.. everything is amazing.
How’s life treating you in your world? Fancy and exciting? I hope so as I have just experienced a week of fun time in Bali. I will have several posts coming soon to capture all-you-need-to-know information for this popular Indonesian tourist destination. Anyway, some of my earlier followers may remember that I was a big fan of Dennis Leslie’s cooking when he was back in Hilton. Back in the old days when I was still a wine scientist, Tina and I used to visit the Brasserie quite often to try em’ out.
Had a lovely night at hill of grace. Service was impeccable, food was lovely and overall atmosphere was great. The pricing is in accordance with fine dining but you definitely get your money's worth. Would recommend for special occasions.
We had the most amazing dinner at the Hill of Grace for our anniversary. We chose to have the 8 course degustation with matched wines and could not fault a single thing. The wines were perfectly paired with each dish and the service was spot on. Standouts courses were the lobster and beef. The soothing sound of a saxophone in the background, alongside perfect mood lighting and a view of the oval all added to the overall wonderful experience we had. The staff also made every effort to make us feel special and the little extras meant a lot to us. We can't wait to go back!

Being of Filipino (or Pilipino) heritage, it's really pleasing to see that Filipino food is becoming more popular in Australia and Adelaide specifically with a number of places opening up over the last year. It's also really pleasing to see that a fine dining restaurant such as Hill of Grace has taken a chance on a Filipino menu. We selected the 9 course degustation menu with matched wines totalling $295 per person. Before I get into the review, our sommelier and waiters for the night were very knowledgeable and attentive so the service was spot on - we wouldn't expect anything less from a restaurant like this. Ok, now the food.
Saturday night birthday dinner. From the moment we walked in the service was spot on and it stayed that way right to the end. The restaurant has a lovely feel to it and there was plenty of space between the tables so that conversations were not impeded. I hadn't realized the chef's background was Filipino and was pleasantly surprised to find that slant on the menu. After comparing the A la carte menu to the degustation menu we opted for the degustation with wine pairings. The food was all beautifully presented and delicious. The wine matchings were all excellent and I tried a few styles that I wouldn't normally pick. Whilst there was absolutely nothing unpleasant about the experience and I would recommend it to others, I think, unlike some other SA degustations that I've tried, this will not be a repeat experience.
Friday lunch for my partners birthday was in short fabulous.The service was imformative attentive and warm from beginning to end, and extra brownie points for making special considerations when hearing of our celebration..Thankyou.It made our day small acts of kindness..
The food was interestingly delicious, more than an average meal tasting each element on our plates were flavours butsting in our mouth. The betamax was interesting and very rich, even for me.( a red meat would be a better choice as a main for flow) .All courses enjoyed in a timely manner.
The view is mesmerizing, like a fire burning or an ocean ebbing.
A great afternoon of beautiful food service and secenery.

Everything about Hill of Grace at Adelaide Oval screams quality – from the fit out to the service, the food and the wines. I’ve always liked Dennis Leslie’s food. I used to sing every Friday at the Hilton when Dennis was the chef there so I’d regularly enjoy a meal in the Brasserie after I’d finish.
It was the best restaurant I have experienced so far. Real fine dining food with fine service. Definitely worth the price. Would fly to Adelaide again just for the dinner there!
Unforgettable fine dining experience with a spectacular view of the oval. Had the 5 course degustation with wine pairing for the birthday, and it was a delightful night. The food was fantastic each course was well balanced and prepared to perfection matching of the wines was superb. Pascal, the Restaurant Manager looked after for the night, he was extremely attentive and runs a tight ship with exceptional customer service. His knowledge of food and wine is unparalleled. He made the evening feel relaxed and explained the food and wine perfectly. I would absolutely recommend this place for a special occasion or a nice evening out.
Wonderful meal, great views, lovely ambience. Efficient & engaging staff. Food amazing! Nicely paced. Definitely will dine again
Beautiful location, wonderful food and excellent wine. Such a great experience, Pascal and his staff couldn’t be more attentive. We will be back soon
From the moment we stepped into the restaurant we were impressed by the warm reception, the ambience and the fabulous view of the Adelaide Oval in lights. Drink orders were taken and delivered promptly and the nature of the degustation meal explained by an absolutely charming staff member. Then the food - totally sublime and served at a perfect pace throughout the evening. Every course was a taste bud's dream. The whole evening was faultless and we strongly recommend a visit if you want to experience a class act. Sincere thanks to all the staff.
An absolutely amazing experience. There are so many ‘stars’ of this show.
Without doubt, Adelaide Oval itself - it is hard to miss it! But the most exciting and enjoyable stars are the wonderful staff and the absolutely incredible food and wine.
The degustation menu was full of highlights and surprises. Each course provided something different and certainly took us outside our normal comfort zone - but it was worth it! The wines were perfectly matched to each course and it was a real treat to see a single local winemaker celebrated.
The staff were superb. They were knowledgeable, passionate and knew just the right time to offer an extra bid of bread to enjoy the last few drops of a delicious jus!
Highly recommended to anyone who wants a special night in a special location.
What an amazing experience. We could not fault the service or venue. Wine paring was superb and each dish, worth it. The toothfish was a pleasant surprise! Highly recommended.
Look its incredibly expensive with the wine pairing but I wouldn't ask for a cent back. Watching the cricket whilst having some of the best fine dining in Adelaide is a very unique selling point. Wine pairing change every 2 months - we had Jim Barry and it went really well with our 5 course degustation.
fantastic food and atmosphere. all courses of food were well thought out and balanced. rotating menu based on selected wines from Adelaide winery is special
