I had ordered for grilled squid with kimchi(although flavours were good,it was bit salty)
I ordered for specials for mains which were gnocchi and mackeral with grains,yoghurt.
Mains were really beautiful,fresh and flavoursome.
Staff was really helpful and smiling.
Sunday evening dinner with the place almost to ourselves - in stark contrast when we tried to eat there on the night before and couldn't get a seat!
Started with oysters and despite them already being pre opened, they were fresh and flavorsome.
Mains decisions were made somewhat difficult by the mouth watering descriptions of the specials given by our very attentive waiter.
Settled on the gnocchi and the swordfish. Fantastic dishes.
Wine list is predominantly South Australian and it is well thought. Some really excellent wines. Started with a pinot and finished the evening with beautiful French cheeses and a shiraz.
Definitely a stand out restaurant with a lot of hands on care and attention by talented owners.
Menu is good with good selection of food. I had the pizza and the base was a bread base, not a pizza base. The bread became soggy which detracted from the pizza origins. For $25.00 I expect what I was eating in Italy for $15.00. My wife had the burger. Big to say the least but the bun was also too much.
I liked it but it is expensive for what it is. Still needs a paint job and a spruce up. F
Amazing location and the food was fantastic. Perfect spot for a lovely meal by the beach. Will definitely go back and try more of the menu.

Although Lickerish has only been around for a few years, it feels like it's one of those institutions that's been there forever. It has a cosy, friendly atmosphere despite it's quite large size - created by the perfect hodge podge of furniture and decor. You feel like a country house went on a date with a fancy wine bar and you just met their offspring. Wooden tables; Wine blackboards; Fairy lights; candles; fresh flowers. It's awesome. There are a few outdoor tables to sit above the roadside and watch the world walk by, a much coveted spot in warm weather. The staff are super friendly and relaxed, fitting of somewhere in such an intrinsically seaside suburb like Semaphore. One of them managed to rattle off about 12 specials without missing a beat. The food took a little while to come out, but being able to relax and enjoy some drinks while waiting made it easier. Food highlights were definitely the mushroom arancini balls and zucchini flowers - I'm a sucker for a zucchini flowers. I once crossed Sydney during a Harbour Bridge traffic jam for a zucchini flower related emergency. Anyway... the pizzas at Lickerish were amazing too, I'd recommend the potato one in particular. The beverage list is an excellent representation of local SA winemakers and the overall menu prices are on par with the rest of the area. Some great specials make them worth a second look if you're not stuck on something on the main menu.
Come down here in Summer and hang on the balcony. Or come in winter and nestle into an indoor spot. Do it.
Full (and probably funnier version of) review on the blog now, link in bio :)

Uber attention to detail and perfectly balanced food at this gorgeous establishment.
This is becoming a rarity in Adelaide as plates of beautiful architecturally designed dishes leave the kitchen, land on your table and you are immediately impressed, only to realise half way through the dish, that the food is totally unbalanced, as it seems that presentation has now become more important than taste and balance.
Well, not at this place! They manage to do both, smartly presented dishes that are full of taste and well balanced!
Hallelujah!
We arrived early on a Saturday evening and were seated immediately, informed of the specials by our knowledgeable waitress, we ordered our meals, which was quite a difficult choice, as I liked so many dishes on the menu! Including the specials!
We had dips to start, excellent home made and the perfect amount of dips to bread! How many kitchens get that soooo wrong! Zucchini flowers, beautiful, lamb cutlets, uber yum and with the burst of pomegranates, it was a lovely touch. We then shared the gnocci special with tomatoes, goat cheese, spinach etc, great flavours and plenty of goat cheese, no skimping here! I would have, however, liked my gnocci just a bit lighter, but this is a small critique. We had a look at the desert menu but it was just a little non inspiring for us, pity as the caliber of the menu didn’t seem to match the dessert selection, again not really a big deal, but I was looking forward to something sweet and interesting. Stopped into Stephen Ter Horst on way home for sugar hit!
The restaurant has great balcony views and a lovely interior. Service is excellent with the only exception that our plates were not cleared for a very long time. But I will forgive this as the restaurant was absolutely jam packed and the staff were flat knacks!
Hint-If you want a nice quiet romantic night, I would not recommend Saturday night, it was incredibly busy with large groups as well as small and can get quite noisy. Maybe try during the week.
I look forward to returning to this uber establishment, specially on a warm night, so you can enjoy the balcony and the views!
Been here twice and and was only mildly disappointed due to an overcooked pizza base on the second visit. Besides that, the pizzas are presented with beautiful flavour combinations. Chefs are very generous with toppings and the waiting staff are wonderfully helpful and friendly.
Lickerish is so far my THE favourite restaurant. Service is super friendly, food is.... OMG heavenly? Interesting, full of flavour, always beautifully presented - I can go on and on and on but will stop here so as not to sound too creepy. Specials menu is a must-try.
Damn son! Was impressed this afternoon after a little lunch sesh at Likerish. Have been here a few times now but not for quite some time. I think they've stepped it up a notch recently. An attentive man-bunned lad was delivering service like a pro but it was the food that really stood out. Can recommend and I'll be back for sure!
Don't normally write reviews but it was nice to see somewhere doing something different. The Cafe is hidden away and has a nice ambience. The food was absolutely delicious, thoroughly enjoyed the lamb pizza and zucchini flowers and will definitely be back to sample the rest of the menu.
Stopped by for few beers and light bite on a hot day with visitors from UK. Great location and views, very high quality food (the share plate) and awesome service.
Look forward to returning soon for a big meal!
Ummm who picked up this restaurant and transported it from the chic and top quality Melbourne scene? A bloody fantastic menu of contemporary Australian food complemented with delicious wines, funky atmosphere by the beach and ludicrously good service. Plate servings were huge and we struggled to share a few dishes between two of us! Absolutely awesome
Very nice place.. great location... staff are fab and nice wine list too !!
Fine dining with delicious food. What I love the most is the ambient, atmosphere and laid back yet friendly customer service.
If only the meals were a little more filling (some are tiny at a large cost) but good quality produce and healthy too!
I'm definitely a regular here.
Great venue. Have played here several times with my band for various functions including weddings and parties and the vibe has been great. Intimate and quirky. Great food and lovely staff! The coffee is delicious too!
Went here for dinner last night and absolutely LOVED it. The girls were just lovely and took the time to explain the menu and specials, as well as recommendations. I had the duo board, arancini balls and Beetroot gnocchi which were all a knockout, flavoursome and filling. The chocolate cake with ice cream for dessert was decadent and so so delicious. Gorgeous ambience and set up. 10/10 recommend, will be eating there again.
Limited menu, but nothing wrong with that as it is all still a fantastic selection.
Pizza had a wonderful flavour and to our surprise a wonderfully crisp and delicious base (hard to come by nowadays).
Pork ribs were exeptional.
Extremely fast service and wonderful staff who accomodated us well.
Incredible atmosphere, amazing decor and artworks, dimly lit (but not dark) and incredible music choice (love Ocean Alley).
Made for an excellent spontanious date night that was much needed. Will definately be back.
