We ate here for my Mum’s birthday on the 23rd, my brother is super fussy and I’m a coeliac. My brother ate ALL of his crumbed calamari and I loved my grilled seafood. Our waitress was so lovely and was super friendly and accommodating about what I could and couldn’t have. We are already planning our next trip back.
This restaurant is stuck in some kind of time warp. It's a fish restaurant & the 2 choices of fish I would have chosen weren't available. The whiting & scallops I had were very average & the 'wedges' were awful with no flavor obviously cooked in cheap vegetable oil. For what you get, including the lack of finesse in how it's served it is also overpriced.
Straight up old school Aussie style fish and chip restaurant. This is not a fine dining restaurant but but offers value for money. Scallops /Oysters = fresh and flavoursome. The chips were crisp, hot, and hand cut. The salad is a mix of greens dressed in olive oil and lemon. Perfectly sensible and fresh. The fish was cooked as it should be. Perhaps the low key, non hyped style, won't suit all diners, but it made me nostalgic. I will be back.
Yes the food is on the pricey side but it was very enjoyable. The staff were friendly and engaging and the food was cooked well. The 'salad' really is just lettuce and tomato but the fish is the feature
Crewcut27. We ate there tonight also on a very hot day in Adelaide, trying for patrons, chefs and staff who did their utmost to ensure everyone was well fed and watered in the stifling hot conditions....Adelaide hit 43c today!..airconditioners were battling!
We and a number of others stood near 'Marthur' during the episode of paying the bill in which she was 'overcharged' $35. What we all observed was a very rude and indignant woman with a bad attitude taking her personal frustrations out on the manager by berating him whilst under pressure with a faulty P O S terminal on the blink after 2 power outages. This rude large framed woman screamed abuse at the Manager and called him a 'cheat and literal liar' which was out of line and totally unnecessary. It was true that you were abused verbally, but the manager was lame. I personally would have used a few harsher superlatives in the vain of never coming back!!!!!.
Pauls food is basic straight to the point and always fresh fish, a well presentable range from happy friendly staff with a good choice of refreshments, menu and desserts. We have been dining there for over 25 yrs with many friends, and have loved it and will continue to do so! I pity the next cafe, shop or restaurant that cops this viscous nasty woman and endeavor to blame them..How rude! Pauls on the Parade is a great fish meal out and the staff cuisine and service there are very good!
BASIC CONCEPT, HIGH STANDARD. Family business that appears a little stuck it time, they offer a decent variety of fresh fish and seafood. The menu is all-Australian, mostly South Australian. The wine and beer list is again heavily South Australian, which in my book is a big plus. Have been several times and despite pricey meals (though the specials board offers some great deals on King George Whiting and oysters) the standard of quality has always been high and the service pleasant. A dying breed of restaurant, but the best of it's kind in town.
Very happy!. Paul's is a grossly underestimated restaurant. The dishes are simple, yet satisfying. The seafood is always fresh and the King George Whiting is delicious. I've thoroughly enjoyed my meals here and will continue to return.
Forego the trendy for simply-cooked, fresh seafood at reasonable prices. Lunch specials of fish with salad and a few good chips or supremely fresh Coffin Bay oysters at 14 tothe dozen are especially good value. Good home-made sauces too.
