    I love it when new restaurants open in Elizabeth, as Elizabeth isn't exactly a dining district - so yay! A new option! The food is great, the tables are crowded together making it hard to navigate without knocking into other tables, but the it's busy and full of life so cudo's to them. Being so new the staff are still working things out (difficulties using the Eftpos facilities - they weren't sure how they worked, problems locating ordered items on their computer and even locating drink flavourings) - but we'll give them time on this one. The staff weren't unfriendly, but they were definitely more fixated on concentrating on what gang were doing and how to do it over providing customer service. The food however was really full of flavour and thoroughly enjoyable. I had the beef Schnit with the Kilpatrick sauce. (Yummo) while my husband had the 12inch Hotdog, the only complaint here is that the Hotdog itself is not actually 12inch's, it's a Kransky cut down the middle and half at each end of a long roll, which is more than enough to fill you - but not a 12 inch dog. Again the flavours were really good (even if the roll was slightly burnt). We shared the dip Schnit (we ordered way too much food) but we got a good sample of what they had to offer and the fact is it was really good!!! The dipping sauces were all creamy so a non creamy option wouldn't go astray but the important factor is it tastes really good and the serving sizes are generous. Will definitely go back, not too soon, because the food is heavy and it's not going to do the waist any favours :)

    So much choice

    Great food great service. First visit here. We booked online for 645pm on a sat night. The restaurant called to tell us that they were full at that time. They should suggested 8pm. Glad we did. It was still busy at 8pm but the service was still quick. Only complaint is that we needed to ask for more cutlery. You won't leave hungry. Prices are reasonable and with the entertainment book you get a bonus 25% off your bill.

    My deep sea lazy schnitz with trio of mushroom sauce

    When the Schnithouse opened on Rundle Street, I was excited by the concept of a schnitzel house where you are only pained by the choices on offer. As a fan of this humble dish, I relished on the crazy variations this place would come up with. Unfortunately, my experience was not the best. Food was expensive and extremely salty. So, I have not ventured back till now. Perhaps the Elizabeth store might be different? We both had the lazy schnit. I chose the deep sea with trio of mushroom sauce, while my sister had the chicken with peppercorn sauce. They might seat you when you come in, but ordering food and drinks is at the counter and bar. While we waited for our meals, we took the opportunity to admire the fitout. It was cosy with lots of warm tones. The lighting created a nice ambiance for families. The place was massive with an upstairs seating area as well. Our food arrived within 15 minutes. That is very timely. Big tick for promptness. My barramundi schnitzel was well cooked, sauce was nice, could do with more mushroom and less cream. Chips was yummy, but over salted. Tried my sister's chicken schnitzel and thought it was good. Her peppercorn sauce was a little weak in flavour and a tad runny. It was nice, but not spectacular. There is room for improvement, but glad the whole dish wasn't salty. Nothing worse than skulling water all night just to make it through your meal. Pricepoint, a tad on the dear side, but at least you are getting a decent feed and the ingredients is of a better quality than your average pub schnitzel. Staff are very friendly here, so for that alone, I would return.

    Caffe Acqua - Spaghetti Bolognese (the culprit hahaha)

    I've been wanting to check this place out since Ive first noticed it. The outside appearance looks…read moreso enticing with the picture of the menu and the cheap 10 to 15 aud meals. What makes it more inviting is the crowd of people entering the place. They must be doing something right to make it that popular. We ordered seafood platter, spaghetti bolognese and iced chocolate drink. The iced chocolate was served to us immediately. It looks so fancy and the taste is actually yummy. A good first impression. While waiting, I get to observed the place more closely. It's a minimalistic themed place and despite being crowded, they get to maintain the cleanliness of the place. So we've waited and waited. It's been 10 minutes and still no food on the table. Me and hubby considered the busy-ness of the place. I just thought, might as well wait and have good quality food instead of a fast but cheapo finish. Our iced chocolate was starting to melt and that's when I began counting the time. Approximately 15 to 20 minutes passed before food arrived (Iced chocolate no more lol lol). But we had plenty of time so it was alright. Mind you, the presentation was impressive with the seafood platter. The spaghetti bolognese looks simply appetizing too. Unfortunately, the taste wasnt at par to the look. My hubby was really disappointed with the food. You see he loves his spaghetti, and this one frustrated him soooo much. LOL He finds it bland and taste like minced meat caserrole or something. He just can't taste the sphagetti-ness of its sauce. I tried it and it was ok but it reminds me more of a Villie's meat pie filling than spaghetti. Also, the sauce is not your creamy pasta but a watery one. The seafood platter is not bad though but not outstanding either. The ingredients are just the usual fish n chips taste--- not oily but bland. The garlic prawn is ok. I like the pepper squid-- just the right saltiness to it. I like the mayo dip and the salad. Like i said, it's ok but not something I would crave for the second time. If I'll summarize our experience here. It's not too bad compared to the usual fastfood. They have big servings but food is more visually appealing than its taste. If we'll come back, I would probably try their steak. But hubby was pissed with their spaghetti (lol) so it wont happen anytime soon.

    Cafe Acqua at Elizabeth is a product of its environment. The standards of this cafe in North…read moreAdelaide or Norwood would have locals shunning it, and it would certainly crash and fail. But in Elizabeth, it is a welcome change from food court rubbish, or the culinary suicide of McDonalds and KFC. The decor is modern and pleasant, the tables and floor are clean. The food is average, but not bad. Same with the coffee and tea. Nothing bad to say, but nothing pops out as showing exceptional flair to catch a foodies eye or palate. It relies on "all you can eat" promotions to fill the restaurant on slow nights, and for Sunday breakfasts. As already stated, a product of its environment. It does have the advantage of being surrounded by sub-par chain food outlets, and an American pub opposite with a reputation for awful food. Compared to these options, Cafe Acqua does well. An example of the standards is a coffee a friend ordered, the ceramic mug sported a deep chip right where you place your mouth (steel teeth are all the rage in the north it seems....) There is no way the barista could not have seen it when making the beverage, and when I returned it to the bar, rather than make a replacement, the coffee was poured into a replacement cup and handed back. I doubt the mug was thrown out... So, if in the Elizabeth City Centre, you certainly can do worse. Just don't expect much, and you'll be happy.
