Restaurant For Saturday Night

[JK]

I'm a massive fan of the Strand at the Bay.

It's got great food, good table service.

It's not your super posh posh place but i'm yet to find a better spot.

Must admit I was very impressed with the 1 time I went there .. Europa at the Bay is probably the favourite restaurant of myself and Mrs P .. Their chilli crab pasta is seneffinsational

[Squawk]

The Treasury, Jolly's Boathouse or the Red Ochre are great in the CBD.
Magill Estate Winery is supposed to be good but I've never made it there myself yet.
I enjoyed the Mt Lofty lookout restaurant the time I went there a few years back.
Not sure about Lenzeheide or Alphutte these days - others may know.

In the "nice pub" range, the Edinburgh and the Earl of Leicester aren't bad. After a meal at the Bridgewater Inn the other day, I can highly recommend that place too!

There's also a winery at Balhannah which has a GREAT restaurant - not cheap by any means but the food and service are magnificent. Maximillians. One of the best meals I've had. http://www.maximilians.com.au/ Service is excellent too. They even have a wine tasting bar. It's just down the road from Hahndorf.

I have a suggestion though - where was your wedding reception? We have a tradition of eating at our reception venue every year on our anniversary, but if your reception wasn't at a restaurant that might be a bit difficult.

Our reception was at Mt Lofty house, we have considered going back there but we are leaning towards a different location.

McLarens on the Lake???

Never been there but heard good things...

did that for valentines day last year and even though the interior was well designed they just rushed the food out, 3 course meal and no time to let the previous meal settle, was a bit rushed, not sure what they are like on a normal

[Booney]

Well it depends what type of food you would like to eat.

I'm open to any kind of food really just looking for a good dining experience and something that keeps the trouble and strife happy for 12 months.

Think you are right, but Lenzeheide is very good.

If you've got $500 to spend on dinner yeah it's not bad.

Haven't been there, but was always a huge fan of Alphutte (although thats going back a bit now).

The Greek on Halifax is a good feed too.

my late dh took me to Magill Estate where he booked the tour (we saw all the vintages of the Grange) and we had the degaustation (sp) menu .. iirc was quite expensive (around $350 which did include a $50 bottle of wine).. the views from there are superb and now looking back is a great memory that I will have in my heart forever... (my dh did love the finer things in life - me just being one lol )

I'd also recommend Windy Point, but the best restaurant in Adelaide by a fair way, IMO, is The Manse at Tynte Street,

A totally different dining experience, absolutely top class. Not cheap, but similar to Windy Point and nowhere near as expensive as Magill Estate.

Too right, The Manse is seriously good. IIRC, we walked out of there $250 lighter in the wallet department though. I think that was for three courses, drinks and even a cognac to finish though, so you could get away much better than that.

For Indian try Harvest Of India on O'Connell St, beautiful food, fantastic service and nice and intimate for an anniversary

Is Windy Point Restaurant still open? proposed to Mrs Hazbeen there 15 years ago.

Try the Monte Penne Silvano!

This place is the best, me and the missus get 2 meals (entree & main) garlic bread, a few frothies & wines and a little tip as the people working there are super attentive and nice and still walk out of their under $100.

Then ice creams down the road.
Works a treat.

Beautiful food last night at the river cafe. The duck breast was superb as was the gnocchi. Certainly recommend this place for others.

Even made for a lucky night
