You move to a table, and order many many dishes (because they are nice) - we had the Jerusalem artichokes, the pate, the jamon and fig, a gorgeously simple green salad, a roasted pig and the bark-wrapped trout, the sweets, the sticky wines... great portions and fantastic dishes (creamy pate with pickled cherries, the artichokes were finger licking good, the jamon and gorgeous figs.. ...enough, you get the point...). Staff were fantastic, and I only wish the wine selection was slightly better balanced. However, our host pointed us to a really really good Mataro. The SA restaurant to beat in 2016 is simply called Seed. Don't ever complain that Clare is too far. This is a pilgrimage that your palate deserves.

I now know why service with more than just a smile can have even more meaning than great food and a cool environment. Our waitress, Lani, was so passionate and having so much fun in her job that we were convinced she was the owner of the place! She was not shy in sharing her opinion of the wine we should be drinking nor of having a chat in between serving others, we walked out feeling like a regular of the place - still bubbling from the friendliness and genuine concern for ensuring we had a good time. But I also can't go past the food. Here are 3 key finger lickingly good tips for you when dining for dinner here: - Sharing is caring and worth it for anyone on a budget or who gets food envy (yours truly). But don't feel limited to the Bar/Share menu, you can share the pizza, the mains the smaller plates and you'll be full from 4-5 dishes between 2! - If you like unusual flavour combinations, that is still accessible to the normal palette (ie. not offal) this is the place for you. Gin and beetroot cured salmon or Fig & Proscuitto Pizza, even the mushroom stuffed baby squid all were such simple concoctions but so well flavoured. - Get there at sunset, it is really well enclosed on the balcony outside and if you have a coat in winter you could easily sit outside and watch the beautiful sunset over Semaphore beach + score 100 romance points too! Like a kid in a candy shop who just found the best sweets tucked away in the back of the shop, I am still hyped up about Lickerish and can't wait to save up my pennies till my next visit with friends.

Beautiful space, warm and comfortable inside when outside is dreary, but when the sun is shing, get out there on the balcony. The only way to eat! Grab a bottle of something, and feast on a couple of platters. Its run by old 'Greedy Goose' hosts John and Justine Hall, and it has the same attention and love of their food after all these years! I had zucchini flowers (with cheese!) which were devine, the cured salmon melts in the mouth and theres a range of pizzas, most of which can be made gluten free (with a $3 surcharge) Great place, great food, great service - everything I look for, and more!

Outside are another 6 or so tables of 4 with a temporary gazebo over the top, and heaters and rugs to keep you warm. Looking east over a small park, this will be a winner in the warmer months. The food menu was designed by Andre of Masterchefiness, and although I've only had a sample of the tasting plate, the menu includes larger dinner options such as a robust ragu. It's all fresh and seasonal and I'm looking forward to dinner soon. The staff are friendly and convivial and more than happy to oblige with requests. The inside tables (3) can be booked, but staff are happy for you to use until reservation time. If you want to kick on & there's a few of you it would be best to book. Inside fills fast and it's noisy, so if you want a more intimate chat get there early (5pm Wed-Fri & 2pm Sunday) or sit outside, but otherwise enjoy the excitement shared by locals of a venue that fills a missing gap for the locals.

An ever changing and simple wine list of SA wines by the glass and bottle as well as a few ciders and beers to boot complement the gourmet tapas style menu on offer. I love sharing food and so this place suited me perfectly however my partner was hoping we would go out for the "main meal" after dining here! Every dish was incredibly well flavoured and spiced as well as being rich enough to be filling. It wasn't the healthiest meal but every we tried couldn't be faulted. From the thai chicken balls with a caramelly soy sauce to waygu meat balls, fennel and orange soaked olives (my fav) and the fried haloumi it all worked well with each other and what we were drinking. This venue is also deceivingly larger than you would expect as you walk up to the counter (in a room behind the front bar and dining area) and can explore a larger carpeted dining and entertaining area as well as seating out the side of the house. It has been furnished very classically with old wooden chairs and tables but given a modern twist with the quirky addition of wine glass chandeliers and a mirrored room indoors. So if you're looking for a pre-dinner or late evening snack over some unusual local wine and tasty tapas, this place is worth bookmarking.

We discovered this spot some time ago and have visited it a few times since…read more Time for a review. Last night we got an off the cuff invite for drinks at 16:30 and to hear a band The Prospectors. Arriving late (that's our style) we missed the first set so sat out the back with a glass of bubbly and had a chat. There are a variety of rooms from the main with couches, large and small tables and bar stools, to small quiet intimate side rooms that can be used for groups. The wine is varied, many by the glass at fair prices and the staff are well versed in wine so are able to find something you'll like. The food is so very tasty. Mustard cheese bread, arancini balls, crushed potatoes and a three cheese plate. Ordered just at the end of the bands second set we were up on the dance floor. Tradition states with The Prospectors, that one of their last songs of an evening is 'dancing on the streets' in which you go and do just what the song says. A final note on the first Wednesday of the month they do a wine food pairing night with a local wine producer. It is a very popular event often being booked out weeks if not months in advance (we booked the last seat for the December event, 2 months in the future from time of posting) So expect an update in a few months.

Total shout out to the Yelpers for reviewing this place. I honestly would have never known about it…read moreif it wasn't for the reviews. It's kind of behind the main township of Tanunda, and is not obvious. There is no signage pointing until you are very close, unlike other cellar doors. The Artisans of the Barossa restaurant / cellar door has such a lovely set up. The building is big and open. They have installed large foldback glass doors, so it opens the area so you can enjoy the view outside. I also imagine that in winter it would still provide a great barrier for the cold outside, while framing the view. So, you get the best of both worlds inside and out. When you arrive at this restaurant, be sure to report to the counter to be seated. When I arrived I asked whether we could find a table. I was very abruptly interrupted and told that I would need a reservation. The gentleman that I think ran the restaurant was quite precious about the seating. So, lucky I asked. No need for that attitude though, I didn't just sit down. I did ask. Anyway... The Artisans of Barossa is a fine collection of boutique wineries & food sourced from local produce. The menu is impressive, and seems seasonal. We wanted some shared plates and went for the Fried Chicken, Jamon and Beetroot skordalia. The fried chicken was really tasty. It has been marinated for a while, so it had a darker colour. But, it was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Perfect! I could see that it was a popular dish as well. Many orders were running past me. Next up the Jamon. Well, you know when you have a great quality Jamon. It was sliced thin, but not too thin. It was sweet, not too fatty and was nicely preserved. A nice accompaniment with the pickles and artichoke. Finally, the Beetroot skordalia. It was very fresh and earthy. Served with crumbled feta and (wait for it) beetroot chips. Oh yes, what a fab idea. It gave it that crunch and body that worked so well. It really lifted the dish. If you go to the Barossa, be sure to visit here. You would be silly not to. There is something special about this place. Might be worth booking ahead though. Otherwise, just be polite to the Restaurant Manager.

I'd love to come back again on my way home from workies :) Nothing much more I can add to what Karen F had commented, both Adam & Evi are great hosts. Very attentive and explained both the cocktails and food very well and enticed us into trying them. Enjoyable evening.

I have only been here for a wine and cocktail so far but this place really adds to the quirky little shops, bakeries and cafes that are popping up on KWR! Fast and friendly service, combined with some unique concoctions and names of cocktails means you will spend most of your time there deciding which cocktail you'll get when you next return. The Elephant Espress is on my list to try next time. If you are like my other half though and think cocktail is for cordial drinkers then never fear - the wine and beer list is for quoffers and swirlers alike. These guys take their booze seriously and I am definitely signing up for one of their monthly "tasting flight masterclasses" in the future.
