It's only a stones throw from where I live and it killed me almost when I moved interstate a couple times as I couldn't find anything close that compared. Such a huge range of seafood!! From whole fish, that if you wanted gutted or filleted they'll do it for you and also will hand you the scrappy offcuts so you can make stock or whatever. No mess in your own kitchen, you beauty!! They also have a huge range of crustaceans and shellfish and all the iddy biddy bits like oysters, mussels and scallops. Not to mention all the different sized octopus and squids. One part I wish I could throw myself over and allow my skin to take over the aroma is the smoked fish!!! I freaking love smoked fish!!! I grew up on it as my Popsie always got some for Easter and Christmas. My parents also smoked our catches (usually Tommies) when we were kids. It was from then that stemmed my smoked fish addiction. All of their fish (apart from the smoked sliced salmon, I think!) is smoked on premises. You know this place is fresh when you see the workers out the back doing the sorting/filleting etc. However, there are a few fish that obviously gets imported but they label that to let consumers know. I'm off now to make a delicious seafood chowder and oysters Kilpatrick using what I bought today for my hubby's valentine's day meal. Yep I'm a good wifey!

Please note that you are paying extra for quality bites here and like Goldilocks and the 3 Bears size does matter... No wait, portion control is important... Well just order more than you think of everything except sides. $8.50 per piece of King George Whiting fried + 50c to have it done grilled in lemon pepper dressing isn't quite the cheap Sunday night takeaway we were expecting. However, the fish was incredibly well cooked (still tender) and seasoned with a tangy oregano and lemon pepper dressing. I also enjoyed the juiciest lemon pepper calamari rings but order double what you think you can handle as when they're not battered they are only half size. Chips were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and a small serving is plenty for 2. The service is incredibly quick and friendly, they even know the locals by the first name. The shop doesn't have that caked in 30 years of grease feel and is clean with a well laid out menu. This would have to be one of Adelaide's best and hidden F&C shops.

Reservation are made easy via the web and confirmation is prompt. It was a reasonably cold evening but the heating was just right making the room temperature perfect and found it quiet with only about 5 or 6 tables booked at the time so service was sure to be attentive. The menu is well balanced, with the focus on seafood and am sure would satisfy a wide range of diners. As a starter we chose the Oysters Kilpatrick and shared a dozen between 2 of us, with King George Whiting, Blue Swimmer Crab Linguine for our main meal with my son (11) having a scaled down version of the Salt & Pepper Calamari (We didn't choose the kids Fish & chips that are on the Menu) The Oysters were of the Coffin Bay origin (oddly served with blue rock salt rather than the usual white and some salad laid over that) They were as tasty as ever but found a few of the oysters quite small and for $35/dozen would have thought they would have been more generous. The whiting was excellent with a delightful batter, chips and a generous serve of Salad (They did forget the sauce, but was provided on asking). The blue Swimmer Linguini was cooked well, seafood content adequate but could have benefited from perhaps some course cracked pepper and a small amount of parmesan added on service My only gripe was the "scaled down version" of the Salt & Pepper Calamari that my son was given. although the pieces were larger than average, there were only 3 (we chose the scaled down version simply as it was a kids meal) but the bowl was mainly filled with salad and chips and my son would happily have eaten more if we had known (The question was asked and were told the main meal was larger than a child would normally eat.) We did not order any dessert but the menu carries a reasonable choice Overall I found the evening pleasant, the wine was reasonable and the food good. The service provided by the staff was excellent. The Happy Birthday Gesture at the end of the night was very thoughtful (Thanks)

I love oysters, but I have to say that Metro Oyster Bar did not meet my expectations. For some reason, their oysters were really salty-- far too salty for my liking, which may have been what they were going for, but I was not a fan. One of the waiters seemed quite reluctant to serve us, like he hated his job, but the other one was friendly, attentive, and joked around with us quite a bit. I quite enjoyed her as our server. There isn't much more I can say about this place other than how I felt it was completely average. The prices were a little on the higher end (which is, of course, to be expected), the servers are 50/50 (you may get one who hates their job and seems reluctant to serve you, but you also may get one who loves interacting with people), and the food is pretty average. Overall, I wouldn't complain about this place, but I don't know if I would recommend it.

We started with some seafood and appetizers to probe the quality. We weren't disappointed. The oysters kilpatrick were phenomenal and the vine leaf wrapped rice dipped in tzatziki are a new favourite. The salad and seafood were ridiculously fresh and we finished off the former in the dip. I should have ordered more seafood, which I will next time, but I went with the sirloin and a side of the chef's special rice. It was a sensational cut of beef that almost melted in my mouth in its medium-rareness. The mushroom sauce perfectly compliments the sirloin with its freshly sauteed mushrooms and the special chai-infused rice on the side. My brother opted for a chicken yiros main which was deliciously charcoal roasted. We both ate our fill and had to take the rest home because it was too good to leave behind. The warm atmosphere and singular keep it secluded and fast paced. He is hot on his feet and attentive. It shows class when a single person can wait on so many tables and sit down to talk to the customers. It seems really quiet for the most part but there are steady customers getting takeout on the weekdays. These people know good food at moderate prices. Given their comprehensive menu and the freshness of their seafood, I will be making this an eat in/take out regular.

The restaurant has some interesting Greek paintings and decor. They are also in the entertainment book too making it a great feed without spending too much. Selecting from the lunch menu, the portions are very generous. Both the lunch specials ordered were $13 - Chicken souvlaki and lamb yiros - and were served with a generous number of crispy chips and a green garden salad. The chicken was a tad fatty but the lamb was well done. Both lunches had great flavor and were enough to conquer how hungry I was after a morning of climbing the lighthouse and looking at the sights of Port Adelaide. In addition to a lunch special, I also shared a garlic mash potato appetizer with flat bread. That was very tasty but left me with quite a garlicky stench later in the day (I don't think that is a bad thing but others may disagree). Staff were friendly and service was quick. This was definitely a great choice and I really enjoyed feasting on Hellenic cuisine.

It's more than just your average bolognaise, in my opinion anyway. I've heard some not-so-flash reviews about it too, but let's stay positive here. This is basically Italian fine dining. People actually dress up to come here. I was not warned about this, and showed up in jeans and a top. I mean, I'm not a sloppy dresser, but compared to what other customers in the restaurant were wearing I felt a bit out of place. I had the spaghetti marinara, and it was delicious! I like spicy food, and this dish had a surprising hint of spice. It wasn't hot; it was just more flavoursome than marinaras I've had before. The ingredients were fresh, tasty, well cooked and well presented. The waiter who served us was friendly and helpful. However, we waited quite a bit for our food, and seeing as we came early and it wasn't that busy I'm not too sure why. It was worth the wait though; all was forgiven when I tasted that marinara. Located next to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Port Rd, this place is highly recommended.
