1918 Bistro & Grill - Wild Mushroom Tart

I was a little underwhelmed with my experience at the renowned 1918 Restaurant to be honest…read more The setting was nice with a cosy warm fireplace blazing on that particularly cold and blustery spring evening. The wine menu is spectacular; they definitely have some high end stuff here - I couldn't believe they had bottles on offer for $300! We ordered a more moderately priced but beautiful Shiraz at the recommendation of our waitress. Nice they decanted it for us on the table as well. We had the beef carpaccio for our starter, which had a nice delicate flavour. For my main I ordered the beef cheeks which were tasty but incredibly rich. The vegetables would have helped cut through the richness but sadly the accompanying "baby leeks" were just 2 puny spring onions and the celeriac puree was almost nonexistent there was so little of it. Not sure if it was related to the meal, but afterward my husband did get sick to his stomach. He thinks possibly the steak might have been a little bit frozen in the middle but isn't sure. What a pity because that steak was the most expensive thing on the menu and he ended up throwing up the whole thing anyway... On the bright side, our friends who ordered the scotch filet and the gnocchi said their dishes were great, so maybe my husband and I just ordered the wrong things. The fresh bread we ordered as a starter was delicious and the house made parmesan oil was amazing (I was so tempted to buy a bottle as they sell them at the front of the house!)

Very good restaurant. I had the kangaroo plate, others had prawns, truffle pizza, grilled Haloumi…read more(cheese). Kangaroo was quite good - steak-like taste and texture coupled with some interesting sides like fig w/ feta. Service was very strong. Food was a bit delayed which was odd given we showed up near lunch closing - but we did have 5 people. Sat outside and it was wonderful. Overall great meal and experience!

I have to admit that the service at this pub was absolutely amazing, but so was the beer selection…read moreas well. Okay, it wasn't to the extent that one would see in a craft beer bar, but they still have some pretty good beers available that didn't comprise of the usual suspects (of the faux craft beers, as I like to call them). The pub really did have quite a lot of charm, and it certainly fit the location, even though it isn't a huge touristy place. Oh, and they had a pretty decent beer garden as well. Definitely worth checking out.

I wish I could give half stars, because this would get 4.5…read more I visited for lunch with a friend in the middle of the week, so the pub--and the town!--were nearly deserted. It's a lovely little pub, and has a lot of its old, original fixtures, and happily, nice, clean, new bathrooms. There's a good selection of drinks, from a variety of ciders, which my friend exulted over, to the range of beers, spirits and soft drinks. The food is the big surprise here. The pub isn't trying to be a pretentious place, it's exactly what you see is what you get, which is to say, clean, friendly and value for money. So we were both amazed at the size of our meals, as the entree sized wedges with sour cream and chilli were closer to what I thought a main size would be, and our mains were HUGE. The food was fresh, well-cooked, and simply presented, but really, what more do you want? The owner is very friendly and happy to chat, and overall, this was a really nice way to spend a few hours catching up with a friend over good food and drinks.

We were driving through the Adelaide Hills and thought we'd try something else for lunch than…read moreHahndorf because it's touristy and overpriced, especially at this time of year. So we had a look in Loebethal and a few other little towns around but just couldn't find anything that looked appealing. Well, luckily we decided to drive the extra 17km to Birdwood because Pomegranate Cottage is a truly lovely place! They have a very cute outside garden, with a fountain and surrounded by lots of trees and flowers so on a sunny day it's probably the best place you can find in Birdwood for lunch. (Mind you the choice isn't that big either) Great setting, friendly service and a good selection of food, ranging from pies to salads, fish to meat and some sandwiches. I had the beef pie for $14, which came with a small salad (no dressing though) and fries. You could tell the pie was homemade and not coming from a freezer. Very tasty and in terms of size I think the dishes are alright for the prices they charge. One thing that bothered me very much though is that the waitress came clearing the plates of the 3 people that were with me while I was still eating. That's an absolute no-go and would be a reason for me not to go back. However, the food was very good so I still recommend the place.

Tasty coffee. Not sure why it didn't show up in Yelp in a coffee search. Glad we stopped. Looks…read morelike where the locals go for breakfast and coffee. Friendly service and good mochas.

Musque Food & Wine - Roasted pumpkin with labneh

A sort of tapas stir menu with quite a few Asian inspired menu items. The space is bright with high…read moreceilings and three chalk boards describing their very expensive wines offered by the bottle! - one was $900! Cocktails were all $30 - quite steep for this level of table service and setting. We had no drinks that night and decided on several appetizers and one large plate. We started with the crispy spring rolls - 3 to an order - which were served interestingly with a soy dipping sauce and not a sweet and sour one as is customary. It was different and good. Next we had the roasted pumpkin with labneh and pumpkin seeds. It was basically one small to medium wedge, well roasted and sliced and although tasty, not worth $18 AU. Next we had the Asian dumplings. They were beautifully plated and had just enough garlic and ginger in the pork filling. The sauce served with them had too much oil for my liking, the soy portion underneath the oil was just right. They were so tasty my better half ordered a second plate of them. Last and best was the crispy pork belly with Thai coconut sauce - it was almost like a curry - the fish sauce was very noticeable in a good way. The pork was tender and moist with crispy skin and the sauce was really delicious and well balanced. The dishes were all garnished exactly the same way with herbs, sliced scallions, cilantro and Fresno peppers. It would have been nice if there had been a bit more variety given the pricing. The flavor of everything was good however the pricing is too high for me to return.

This restaurant has been open in Tanunda for around two years now and was recommended to us by our…read morehosts. The decor is modern minimalist with an open kitchen in the restaurant area and a bar area next to it. Staff were very friendly and engaging with the service being prompt and efficient. The tapas style menu is varied with contrasting styles and flavours. We ordered three dishes between us being the grilled Harvey bay scallops, the wild mushroom arancini balls and the roasted cauliflower with chick peas and lemongrass. All three dishes were outstanding and more than sufficient after a busy day in the wineries. Dishes averaged at $18 each. They also have an amazing variety of 36 pure malt whiskys and 22 gins which took up the whole wall of the bar not to mention the local wine list. Overall an enjoyable evening and would definitely return.

I can't say enough good things about Sneaky's, everything was fantastic!…read more Came here for my uncle's 70th and was really impressed. The food was great. For entree I had the arancini, which was nice, and I also managed to snag some of my husband's bruschetta which was great. It had a good kick of garlic without being overpowering. For mains I was served possibly the biggest eye fillet that has ever existed. The photo doesn't really do it justice; it was huge, cooked to perfection, full of flavour and meltingly tender. My husband had the pork belly. It was nice and sweet and the meat fell apart as soon as the fork touched it. The crackling was good, but not great. My brother had the barramundi, I didn't try it but he was happy with it. The kids chose the chicken nuggets and fish & chips. The nuggets were your stock standard fare. The fish, however was one large (adult-sized) piece in a homemade herb crumb. My daughter wasn't so keen on the crumb (perhaps too strong a herb flavour for a young child) but we cut that off and she happily devoured the fish. After dinner they did tea, coffe and babycinos. Then it was time for dessert. I didn't try the chocolate birthday cake, but everyone seemed to love it. There was even a separate cake for the kids (rainbow sponge). They also have a wood pizza oven there. We didn't have pizza as part of our function but I did see some getting delivered to the tables outside and they looked good. If we hadn't just eaten a three course meal I would have ordered a pizza for the long drive home. The decor was nice, looked like a wedding reception with the fabric draped from the ceiling. There's also a large grassed area out the front. The kids had fun running around out there between courses. It would be better if it was fenced off better, but not really a big deal as one of us was always out there with the kids. The staff were also great. There were plenty of staff working and they were all really nice and attentive throughtout the function. If you happen to live in the area (which unfortunately I don't) or are passing by definitely check out this place.

First experience, Great place very good food and service was excellent, it's one of those gems…read moreAdelaide has that's is absolutely amazing on those warm nights sitting outside in a huge lawn are overlooking the grape Vines.
