    My first visit in 30 years. The duck at the duck is exceptional. My husband's kangaroo special is also very good

    If you are looking for a lovely intimate restaurant in Blackwood & you are fed up with cafe food…read morebut don't want to go 'silver service' this NEW PLACE is perfect. The Menu is small yet varied, local providers & is seasonal. The wine list is not huge but is a close regional selection. The surrounding are intimate, fresh, bright and breezy :) Easy parking in surrounding streets. The staff are lovely :) The prices are reasonable and the food is DELICIOUS:) :) Will happily come back again and again. This is what Blackwood has been lacking & now it has arrived :)

    Ambiance: 5.5 / 10 Stark is the first impression and bright! Cripes, is it BRIGHT!! One feels…read morelike you're in a fish bowl on display. We were there for dins and thought it was day. Loud too, even though there weren't many fellow diners. It's a small room and everyone can hear everyone (WOW, someone at the next table was talking about their affair). We thought acoustics would be disastrous if it was better patronised and word on the grape vine is that this place has re-established itself from a café to an upmarket Italian restaurant so, when full it would be more like a cafeteria cacophony. Winelist: 4 / 10 Oh dear! An Italian inspired restaurant with no Italian wines?? A few extra marks for supporting locavore but, a Barolo, Sangiovese or at least a Vermentino would complement the intended restaurant influence. Even the local wines that monopolise the list are main stream and average. Service: 6 / 10 Call me old fashioned but, if one is expecting 'upmarket' Darlings, an old girl and my professional counterparts notice things. Serve from the left - clear from the right; unless 2 patrons next to each other are in conversation, clear only when everyone has finished, don't reach across in front of your patron, top up the vino, top up the water, don't hover, staff should intimately know the dishes and wine, etc etc. And of greatest importance, they should look like they actually enjoy their job. Need I say more about 1923? Cuisine: 5 / 10 And only just a 5, saved by the quality of the cuisine, not the selection of the cuisine. The kitchen does good with the almost boring and average dishes listed. For a restaurant that's positioned itself at 'upmarket' Italian it's not genuine Italian. There's no signature dish, no scaloppine (veal), Nothing chocolate for dessert (Italian sacrilege). Nothing that leaps out from the menu that shrieks "PICK ME, PICK ME". Value for what you get: 5 / 10 Expensive. Better value elsewhere. The deal maker or breaker; would I go back? No. This place has pitched itself at the ranks of the likes of Assaggio, Jamie's Italian, Chianti and Ambrosini's. It comes nowhere near this standard. We were hoping the trek up the hill would be worth it but, it wasn't. We came back down the hill to one of the aforementioned for dessert, coffee and Moscato. 25.5 out of 50. Dame Dine Alot.

The decor is as the name suggests and quite simple but lots of seating with also spots outside. Magazines and papers to read if you get the time on the weekend. The food: I have had eggs benedict here, great sauce and well cooked eggs - the mexican nachos are to die for! SO yummy and not too spicy - they came as a recommendation from our waitress, Marie. She also suggested the mexican jacket potato but I went with nachos. :) Marie was very helpful, very patient with my indecisiveness! Also one of the few places that sell hot dogs! I have gone with the Hillbilly's special before with avocado, tomato, cheese and aioli and their special sauce - so delicious! I love a good hot dog and its a decent portion too. As you can probably tell, I have always had consistently good food here and I just love Blackwood so I come here often. I forgot to mention the juices are also pretty good - go the immune boost! Only negative is that the hours are not always consistent - the manager sometimes will close if its not busy. I completely understand but as a consumer this can make it hard to plan a visit.

And we traveled so far to get there. This would be the managers faults since he said "...the best I can do for you". And the manage Derrick asked if I wanted to tip when I was paying (Embarrassing for the restaurant that they have to ask); I felt we deserved better than that. For those that doesn't know the Aussie culture, we do not tip in Australia as locals. The minimum wages starts off really high, whereas, the wages as a wait staff in USA is low therefore we tip if the service was excellent. I've been around Australia since Feb 2014 so I KNOW this. Excellent service deserves a tip. A tip is NOT earned by asking for it..... ANYWHERE in the world. The service and food was excellent. I will post a YouTube Food & Travel review about this establishment soon to come.

Unfortunately, and perhaps this was partly due to the raving reviews and reputation of the restaurant I had grown to understand, my experience here fell short of my expectations. The food was for the most part delicious however the menu itself is very standard traditional fine dining. Signature steak and red meat for the most part with a few fish dishes and even less vegetarian options. We ordered the house made gnocchi for entree. Unfortunately it lacked the melt in your mouth aspect I was expecting from freshly made gnocchi. For mains we ordered the wagyu corned beef brisket which was absolutely delicious. Cooked to perfection. It was fairly salty though and had a rich sauce. The Lamb rump shoulder unfortunately was a bit on the over-well-done side. Sides ordered were the Korean fried Broccoli and sweet potato. We loved both dishes although everything was deep fried and it became a bit much. It would have been nice to accompany our rich mains with sides that were fresh to break it up. For dessert we chose the popular Chocolate Melange for two - the signature board of mini desserts. This was amazing. Word of warning, we were in struggle town by this point - but you are able to opt to take away what you can't finish. Good service is extremely important to me, and this was the down side. For an expensive fine dining restaurant with so many staff, our wait times were terrible. We were not checked upon and particularly between dinner and dessert, we waited almost an hour. It took a few reminders for our dessert to finally come. And after eventually giving up and asking for the bill, it came. Our waitress offered another round of drinks on the house but by that point we were bursting from eating so much that we couldn't possibly fit anything else in. It would have been appreciated if we were offered the dessert on the house instead and we were extremely dissatisfied with their failure to compensate for their overlook in service. Overall the food was enjoyable but it wasn't the best and I've enjoyed better food at more reasonable prices elsewhere. For the steep outlay and reputation they pride themselves on I expected a much higher level of service and taste across the board.

But after a few minutes of good service and chilled out vibe I was able to relax. The place to be on The Parade is thanks to that A-Team the Trims family, who are also responsible for the equally buzzy Sparrow and The Manse. All the carry on and hoo haa about this place I reckon is well deserved, coming here is a unique experience and there's nowhere else around quite like it. You get a little drinks card to hang onto so you can order ten dollar glasses of wine and pricey food without having to actually think about how much you're paying. Last time I came here we had fries, which come out on a wooden block with an accompanying bowl of 'aerated ketchup,' which was absolutely delicious. They appear to be fans of aeration, there are also donuts with aerated chocolate sauce, and scallops with aerated almond cream. We all know how Adelaide folk like to get all worked up over new things, and I reckon this place is worth the hype.

I have been to Woodstock on several occasions and the most recent was for the wedding of two very good friends. I have spent a great deal of my professional life organising functions - weddings being the most high pressure of these events (even the meekest girl has the ability to turn into a raging bridezilla) and I was absolutely floored with the organisation, affability and professionalism of Zak the restaurant manager and the woodstock crew. We had an alternate drop menu, chosen by the bride and groom. Every dish was delicious and maintained a very good standard (not quite as good as their unique, rustic a la carte menu, but it's impossible to acheive the same level of finish en masse). The restaurant at woodstock is called Coterie and is in the unique semi circular building where the reception was held. The space features an open fire in the middle of the inner wall. On Friday evenings they do a pizza night, nom, nom, sundays they have live jazz and there are Llamas over the back fence! Great novelty factor. I would not hesitate to recommend woodstock as a must-do Mclaren Vale destination. If you're into rose - the Grenache rose is one of the best Reds - The stocks Shiraz is a boys fave my pick may be the Octogenarian, grenache tempranillo
