My daughter had her 21st booked in the beer garden on 23rd of September 2017. Booking her party, organising and upfront pricing, with no hidden extras, made for such a relaxing evening.
The venue was perfect; the staff were friendly and highly professional, keeping me up to date all night with bar tabs, food platters and cake serving. The staff were brilliant. The food was served hot, fresh and with friendly smiling faces. The barman we had that night was excellent; his personality, manners and professionalism just really made the night extra special. I think his name was Jake. Apologies if i have your name wrong. The entire night was relaxed and friendly, allowing us to all enjoy the special night with very fond memories.
I highly recommend the Cali for birthdays or functions. Such a nice atmosphere and close enough to the city without being too close. Great location too.
Thankyou to all staff who made this a truly special night for my daughter.

I had my wedding in the beer garden area and it’s was truly an incredible night! The staff, particularly Jess and Jake were incredible! The food was great, the atmosphere was great, the grounds were great and the service even better!
They communicated with me all night and were so very accommodating! I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue! Truly spectacular and I couldn’t be more thankful! 10/10
My fiance and i had our engagement party on saturday afternoon in the beer garden room. The food, staff everything on the day was fantastic. We had an absoulate ball and can't thankyou all enough for making our day wonderful. We will be back and we will be highly recommending your venue. Thanks again. Olivia and Shane xx
Our function was fantastic! Well organised! Excellent communication throughout the organising process and on the night. Food was great and service was spot on. The room was set up perfect and I didn’t have to lift a finger!
Wow! Best meal I've had in a long time, had the three course tasting menu, plus dessert, absolutely amazing!
Scallops, Pork Belly, Wagyu Fillet then Dessert of Pannacotta.. all were first class, cooked to perfection, amazing service and food presentation was stunning!
Highly recommended!
I have never been here, until a friend had her 60th on sunday. I must say I was blown away by the friendly staff, awesome & yummy food & feel of the hotel. Very happy with everything. I am hoping to come back soon with friends so they can have the same wonderful time I had. It's a gem that seems to be hidden.
Held my 40th Birthday Party here on Friday night...Jacqui was amazing organising everything I needed leading up to the party and both our bar tender and duty manager on the night couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. The function space was brilliant and definitely value for money, the platters were delicious and a great drinks menu. A fabulous night had by all and will definitely be recommending to others as well as returning for the next big party myself!�
Had a Sunday function today for a 60th was fantastic, great food, good prices and friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble and would recommend to everyone. Thanks caledonian!
Just had our engagement party here and it was fantastic a massive Thankyou to Jackie for organising the evening and Kelly and Jake for being so attentive on the night! Would absolutely recommend for a function!
My daughter had her 21st in the beer garden a few weeks ago, it was awesome. The staff were amazing, super helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Food was fantastic, everyone who came had a great time. Highly recommend it for a function. ��
Great pub, good atmosphere friendly staff food really tasty great choice good prices ��
Met up with some golf friends for lunch yesterday. The food was fabulous and the, salads we're fresh and delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal.
We were a walk in for dinner on a very busy Saturday night. The hotel had three visible functions. Yet the food was simply sensational!! Service was fabulous despite how busy they were. Hadn't been here before and was delighted!
Brilliant party for Barry's surprise party, food was great, nice atmosphere and staff were super friendly and nice. Only thing I could fault was the drain smell that wafted in now and then, not pleasant, needs looking at :)
A big thank you to Jacqui Marin and all the staff at the Caledonian Hotel. We held Freddie Payne's 80th birthday celebrations in the Beer Garden on a perfect spring day on 8 October. The food, drinks and birthday cake - exceptional Black Forest - were fantastic. And thanks to all the relations, friends and musos who made it such a special day. It was such a jazz feast!
Great food friendly staff will definitely be back
Food was superb and service was exceptional. Thanks to all the staff! We are now planning another event at the venue.
Headed here for dinner and enjoyed the meal. The falafel burger was tasty and quite fresh with cucumber, yogurt and salad. This was served with chips which were really crispy and tasty. There’s an extensive wine list with a good selection of wines by the glass. Friendly staff and lots of dining spaces with rooms for private functions too. Parking can be a bit tricky if it’s busy in North Adelaide.
Great selection of steaks. (Would love to have Bearnaise sauce though)
Used to be 50% off with a drink, changed to 30% off just before xmas.
Great wine list.
Also does monthly feature winery dinners with the wine maker attending.
Restaurant is very good as well for a bit more formal.
Very busy for functions on the weekend.

Salmon linguini
Fish and chips
Pork belly
Scotch fillet
The decor was well suited to the surroundings; I felt at home as soon as I walked in. Our server was extremely hospitable and couldn't be better. Also, the service was quite quick and we all got our food in about 15 minutes.
I had the pork belly with crackling, and i can safely say that it had no negatives. The portion was exactly the right size for me, and flavour-wise it had everything i wanted. The pork was delightfully soft and well cooked, and the crackling accompanied it beautifully. Also, the buttered carrots and beetroots as well the silky smooth puree added an extra sweet and smooth element to the already stunning dish.
The fish and chips we had were good too; nothing fancy, but the fish was perfectly cooked while the skin was golden brown and crunchy. The tartare was also tangy and perfect. The scotch fillet we ordered finally satisfied my search for a great steak, and literally melted in my mouth with every bite. Our final main course, the salmon linguini was my only slight negative, because i felt it had too much salt. However, the linguini was al dente and the sauce had an enjoyable meaty taste to it, thanks to the bacon and the soft salmon.
For dessert we ordered the waffles and the chocolate dish, both which were delectable and delightful. I especially loved the warmth of the brownie with the chocolate ganache and cool ice cream, though the crisp waffles were equally delicious.
Overall i loved the food and atmosphere, and there were virtually no negatives in my opinion. Much recommended to any avid foodie, especially since the food is definitely value for money considering that it's quite cheap given the quality and the experience provided to us.
The amount of times I've driven past this place and not tried it is crazy, and finally came for a set menu Mother's Day lunch 2day ($55pp) and what a joyful experience indeed!
We ate in the Barton's Restaurant side and it isn't really special in decor- just a modern cosy dining area with a view of a lovely looking wine shelf at the end, but the service and food was just fabulous. Shout out to Danika our lovely server who was just wonderful the entire time. The food speaks volumes in flavour, presentation and portion sizes. Though was a set menu it is a smaller version of their actual menu so have to mention the Scallops and the Barramundi (simply delicious on all standards!) Value for money was beyond what I expected and will definitely return indeed! 👌
Delightful spot in the outskirts of Adelaide. Food was absolutely to 'die for'. Smaller servings just perfect for lunch. Service was wonderful. Great time with family

Bartons Restaurant is situated in North Adelaide inside the Caledonian Hotel. There are plenty of parking spaces on the street or the back. There is a pub section in this hotel, but I am going to tell you about the restaurant inside. . At Bartons, there is a special and on going offer where I think it is a bargain. For $40 you can choose three courses, this can mean two mains and a dessert or if you desire you can have three main courses or three desserts. I have been to Bartons Restaurant for a couple of occasions, and these are a collection of my favourite. Pictures tell a thousand words, I shall let your taste buds decide.
The Barton restaurant is worth a visit.. Not familiar with the rest of the Caledonian, but the Barton restaurant was a pleasant surprise when we ate there last week. We arrived a few minutes early and were shown to our seats, within a minute or so we received menus and a few minutes later after water was server we were offered drinks. My wife chose house champagne but the waiter upgraded it to Janz for free - I chose a nice red from a pretty good selection. We chose to share a large entree - no trouble at all for the staff, the mains were very good and sweets were superb.
Summary: very good staff and great food at a fair price. Will be back.
Best burgers in Adelaide hands down, been doing all the bugers around Adelaide and the Caledonian is the best so far, ha it last night and going back tonight to have another,
Homely and Casual. Great restaurant, very warm and welcoming. Service was great and so was the food. The food was wholesome, the servings were plentiful and the prices complemented the food.
A nice place to go for a homely and casual dinner.
Excellent table service and tasty food.
The chicken Parm was great I added bacon as it didn't come with ham, the other dish was salt and pepper squid both were great.
The cokes we ordered came in a glass bottle with glasses and there was a candle lit at the booth we sat at. The atmosphere was friendly and the prices were very reasonable. Would definitely recommend coming here.
From the booking process right through to the event, the team at the Caledonian Hotel delivered! The most amazing service, the most amazing function room, and the most amazing food.
Everything went perfectly and we had an absolute ball!
We enjoyed a lunch here a couple of weeks ago.
The pork belly was absolutely delicious as was the Asian salad with salt and pepper tofu.
Staff were very friendly and focused.
We'll certainly be back again.
Beautiful little Pub, with a great bar garden hidden away.
Cocktail food was nice (Salt and Pepper Squid was very saltly) but other than that rest was good.
Outdated pokies though felt like early 2000s
We had a Reunion get-together after more than 30 years since we worked together.
Lovely dining experience with friendly and efficient staff made for a fabulous night!
Kind regards, Lorraine Porter
Food is good. I had battered whiting with chips and salad. Pleasant surroundings. Excellent service with friendly helpful staff.
