Review The Cali Cafe - Adelaide

A wonderful atmosphere to catch up with friends, good selection of food and beverages, and friendly staff.

Great service from Leah. Absolutely loved the steak burger, everything about it was on point. Soft bun, tender steak, good guacamole, and the fries with the chilli salt were excellent. Good atmosphere, would definitely go back any time.

Visiting from Melbourne. Great food, beer staff, atmosphere. After bimbimbap won’t need to eat for a while :-)

Went there for a private function in the upstairs room and was not disappointed. 3 course meal was delicious. It was a set menue but they gave us options to choose from too (2 for entre, 3 for mains and 2 for dessert). Would go again.

Great meal here for lunch, we tried the house speciality Bibimbap and thoroughly recommend. Small but adequate menu, Huge craft beer selection and wine list with plenty of choice. Plenty of tables and seating options indoor & out. Initially prompt attention at the bar but then not offered menus after we said we want to eat.

Food was bangin and the staff were extremely accommodating and friendly! Went in for an early dinner tonight (4.40 dinner didn't start until 5pm) with our 11 month old son. Staff were great, tucked us away out the back with a high chair, even put the footy on for me. The chef came out and confirmed our order as we had ordered well cooked veggies with the kids fish for bub, admittedly they still came out a little under cooked for him (usually good practice of not cremating veggies) but he happily chucked them in the tucker f*#ker for a couple of minutes and they were brilliant, the boy loved his rainbow trees and fish, probably something to do with a quick toss in salt and oil. As for our mains, The Mrs had the beef snitz Dianne sauce, chips + salad. Snitty was a nice thickness, not overly bashed out and over crumbed, not over cooked either. Dianne sauce was on point too! I had the scotch fillet with veg, chats and jus. Wow, steak was beautiful and tender, well rested, nicely seasoned, beautifully cooked. The chats were nice and crispy and the hint of rosemary in the salt was a nice touch. The jus was delicious (I personally prefer mine with a couple more pork trotters for the sticky mouth feel that lingers on your lips) but its good to see people doing good simple food not just cracking a packet of maltodextrin and saying it's jus! You can actually see the tiny remnants of fat particles float ontop of the thin sauce. The char grilled broccolini seasoned with evoo and salt was the kicker! Good simple food, made from scratch 10/10! By the look of the toilets (some hot water for hand washing would be nice) this place kicks on pretty good too, sure it will be rocking after ports win tonight! Get in early and get yourself a bloody good feed, don't forget to tip the b.o.h staff and the glassy if you can, they are the forgotten heroes👍

Great drink selection and variety of beer on tap is good. Seems to be very popular with the boomers on Friday night 😄

Good stop for a beer after work or even after dinner. Good front bar area! Friendly staff and even though we didnt eat here the menu offering looks good so i think next time we could eat and drink👍
