Part #2 After our previous visits, we were excited to invite our friends for an easter long weekend lunch. Unfortunately this time our experience wasn't as memorable. The defining factor being the 90min time limit on our stay. I totally understand that turning tables is key during any busy period, but it shouldn't come at the cost of the diner. By the time we settled, decided on wine and chose our meals, we were already 15min into our allotted time. Then as the restaurant filled and the kitchen got busier, the main meals took longer to arrive leaving us with only 20min. We overheard two other tables also express their disappointment when told it was time to vacate by their waitress. I would make a strong recommendation that they please extend seatings to 2hrs. The food this time was a little less "wow", and a little more "meh". The usual punchy flavour profiles and finesse we had experienced previously just weren't there this time around. One more thing, we told our waitress we would be sharing the entrees between four of us, so when each dish arrived with only three pieces we were a little bemused. Had we been told, we would have been happy to pay more so to increase portion sizing as to share each dish evenly. It's this attention to detail that separates good from great restaurants. Part #1 The Clare Valley just keeps on giving... Nestled amongst vines and guarded by old man olive tree, Skillogalee delivers an array of classic & traditional al la carte dishes with bags of flavour. Sometimes you don't want a Chef thats trying to reinvent the wheel, you just want food that is honest and damn tasty. The day we visited, Chef was cooking homemade Chicken & Leek pies to order... yes to order! The pastry and filling was incredible; so much so, I ordered one for desert (true story) hahaha. Just make sure you allocate a few hours for your visit, because anything less would be a shame.

The wine is AMAZING!! Have been to five vineyards in Clare now and none have come close. The Basket Press Shiraz is such good value! Mmmm, yummo! We left with four bottles but also took the order form. The resident doggo was super adorable too!! (The drawcard for us visiting in the first place after seeing reviews). Was nice we could enjoy a tasting outside with the doggos by the heater too. Service was good but not super 'warm'. Review is more for the wine :)

Wonderful food - we had the long lunch tasting set menu at $65ph. Four inventive courses - bread, olives & ricotta cheese with honey (delicious) - kale and mint risotto - roasted pumpkin - lamb shoulder with mint/parsley salad and potatoes and we bought a bottle of the winery's sparkling for $40. Plenty to eat and a nice drop to pair it with. Our waiter Rico (from Cambodia) was excellent, attentive, helpful and funny! Well worth a long lunch!

Beaut morning for breakfast. Just delightful sitting outside, cool morning before a hot day eating yummy food. Poached eggs in garlic yoghurt was soooo nice, mopped up with plenty of bread and a couple glasses of bubbles to start the day. Hubbies big breakfast was great too. Good coffee. Excellent value. Staff friendly. Lovely garden . A surprise find midweek for breakfast. Will be coming again. Best start to the day.

Absolutely wonderful. We had the 3 stage Long Lunch which is the chefs choice and it was all delicious. The wine, we had sparkling Shiraz and reisling, was superb. The whole place has such a calm and relaxed vibe and the waitress was so lovely. We drove almost 2hrs to have lunch here today and it was totally worth it! Also, the fig sorbet was the best ice cream I’ve ever had!!! Thanks for a great afternoon :)

This is our second time visiting South Australia from QLD and this place is one of our absolute favourites. We did a wine tasting on our bike tour on Friday and decided we HAD to come back for lunch on our way back from the Eyre Peninsula on the Sunday. It was not only one of our best lunches in Clare but anywhere, ever. The service was great and view from our outside table was majestic.
