Drinks were ordered from the bar while we waiting on everyone to arrive, and then the food orders were placed. I went with the chicken schnitzel, which was about the size of a football. Huge, but amazing flavor. Our party ended up staying for several hours. Eating and drinking the whole time. Very happy with the location, service, and food.

However on New Years Eve I met up with a friend and decided to check this place out again. Well, it certainly has changed with the times. The front bar seemed closed, however they had expanded out the back to create a really cool restaurant, and they had a pretty large beer garden as well. However there wasn't much in the way of decent beers on tap. Still, I did quite like the place and would come back here again, even if only to experience the beer garden.

Amazing view and exceptional food!…read more I've eaten here several times and the food is always excellent, there are plenty of affordable meals as well as a few medium-priced options and I've been pleasantly surprised by every meal I've had. There is a beautiful view from any area and the outdoor dining area is warm and not too loud. As with most places it is best to book as they are often busy however the lovely staff have never turned me away for not booking, just sometimes directed me to the front bar which is not fancy but great if you prefer a casual relaxed atmosphere.

Renovations look great but definitely give this place a miss.

Yeah, church had certainly changed since I was a kid. Anyway, this pub is quite new, and quite nice as well. The service is pretty good, and they even have a nice selection of beers on tap. In a way it was certainly one of those rather charming places where I could spend some time having a drink.

Oh dear, the spelling of "milk" is not the only thing that this place misses the mark on…read moreunfortunately. The interior design is unique and follows trend with the rest of the exposed brick, high metal stools, wooden floorboard, crates behind the bar look that most bars are going for now days. But the black and white theme, fake grass and bi-fold windows opening out onto Flinders St, had me at hello. The wine list is impressive and there isn't a bad list of boutique brews, but nothing game changing. Today we ordered: Garfish with chips and salad for $16.50 - good value if done right (unfortunately the fish was rubbery, chips undercooked and the aoili was the highlight) Chicken caesar wrap for $9.50 - bargain but too oily, soft chips and lacking in a salad filling. Bar service is incredibly friendly and efficient however we waited over 20 minutes for our meals to come out at lunch when it was reasonably quiet. Add on to that the fact that at this stage no food is available from 7am-12pm or 3-5pm and I feel the concept of turning an old Milk Bar concept into a cool bar, restaurant has lost the essence of the need for "convenience." This place is in it's 1st week of operation and I'm definitely going to give it a go in a couple of months to see how things iron out because as Liz A said, Flinders St needs a bit more hipness and booze injected into it and these guys could just do it!

Working near by, I thought It was time to check out this place. So I popped in for a take-away…read morecoffee to both get my caffeine hit and scope out this place as a potential future - lunch spot and/or knock off drinks haunt. The service & product I received from this quick transaction has firmly secured it as NOT one of those future places. Myself and my colleague walked in and stood at the bar waiting for what appeared to be The Manager and a Staff Member having an altercation. Something small but a conversation that should not be had in front of customers, let alone a conversation to keep customers waiting. Once their "chat" was over, we did not even receive a "hi" or a "hello" or a "sorry about that" but a very cold "what can I get you?" I ordered a "take away double shot espresso" and was met with the blankest of blank stares. I felt like I had just spoken in Chinese. I repeated myself but changed it up a little "an espresso but with an extra shot" more blank stares. Eventually she quizzically asked "is that a short black?" I responded, "yes, but with two shots of coffee instead of one". No apology or acknowledgement or for the confusion just a "that's $4.50" I handed over my money and my colleague then ordered - a "large take away latte" and received the same response "that's $4.50" she too paid her money. After a few seconds I asked, "sorry, I just want to double check, should have our coffees been the same price?" I felt like because of the earlier confusion perhaps I had been over-charged. Because surely, how can 2 shots of coffee with no milk & 2 shots of coffee with a large amount of milk cost the same? Who I assume was "The Manager" chimed in with "Well they both have 2 shots of coffee so yeah they are the same price" Call me crazy, but milk is not free right? I made a comment along the lines of "ohh ok, that's interesting" "The manager" then shot back "well that's the cost" I apologised and said "I'm sorry, I was just a little confused, we normally go to a place across the street (every single day!) and I get the same order for $3.20. We thought we would pop in to give you guys a try and I just thought it was unusual for both of our orders to cost the same, despite the large amount of milk" The Manager flatly replied "well your lucky to get that across the street then aren't you" He then very condescendingly showed me the take-away cup with the two shots of coffee in it and said "that's what you wanted right?" I felt embarrassed, belittled, undervalued & miss-understood throughout the entire transaction. And to top off the experience, the coffee itself was full of coffee grounds. They missed an opportunity to gain a very regular and repeat customer.

I enjoyed taking in the ambience of the street and also a bit of people watching! There was a $50 tapas for 2 option which included a couple of glasses of wine. We decided to choose our own and funnily enough the bill came to $50.50 for 3 plates of tapas and 2 alcoholic drinks. I guess it works out well, however you choose it. I just loved the haloumi and kewpie slaw (coleslaw with a tangy Asian mayo dressing) slider. Bum was really soft yet crunchy and there was a lot of haloumi. Also tried the haloumi with grape, almond and mint. Very delicious. Chorizo in tomato sauce was tasty. It supposedly was baked in cider. I didn't actually taste that but I was drinking cider and it was a great combo! (Don't know if it masked the subtle cider flavour of the dish or accompanied it, but either way it worked!) Service was friendly and knowledgable. There was flamenco dancing inside, which sounded like fun.

However, on my recent trip back to Adelaide I decided that I would actually go and check it out. I was pretty impressed, but it wasn't one of those 'where has you been all my life' experiences (actually I do believe I came here years ago when a friend was playing here). They have some decent beers available, though none of them are on tap (unfortunately). However it seems to have settled in quite well to Adelaide's newly emerging bar scene, though it was basically one of the originals. I probably wouldn't object to coming back here some time, but there are other places that I do much prefer.

Have been here multiple times since it opened. I have to say I can't really fault it except for a…read morefew minor details. As you order up at the bar for both drinks and food it keeps most customer-staff interaction to a minimum but it works well for the business. When the customer is ordering staff are able to be quick and get your drink straight away for you to take, which is needed as they get busy! Just dont expect to be coddled or have an in depth discussion. Over dinner time they are packed out, so if you can't get there early (i.e. 6pm) or you have a larger group you should definitely book! In the past food has taken a while to come out, but mostly that's because we ordered after all the other big groups. Can't expect our food to come out before theirs, first come first served! There are multiple James Squire beers and ciders on tap, as well as the typical bar spirits and wines and also some unusual menu items like the cider spider (apple cider with sorbet in it!) Food menu is trendy, catered towards a crowd who enjoy their gourmet burgers and hotdogs, wood fired pizza and a couple of salads for the dieters. Dessert options include nutella pizza and deep fried oreos, so feel sorry for the dieters who then have to try and resist those. Definitely a great place for dinner or drinks!

The look is quite trendy and as there were a lot of people inside and outside there was a fun vibe…read more We went here for dessert to try the 'Deep-fried oreos' that had been regularly advertised on the radio. The service was slow (it took about 25 minutes for our desserts to arrive) when it seemed like a lot of staff were just walking around not doing much.

It was very nice and I would eat it again (would be better if they had a gluten free burger!
