Firstly , let's say that I was under the impression that this was going to be a $$ restaurant, but really it should be considered $$$ . The casual setting , limited space between the tables, no table cloths, basic toilets and no coat hanging by the waiters, no explanation of the menu dishes, all point to a lower price point, dining experience. But @ $45+ mains ,$70+ wines, is on the $$$ for me. Others may think differently. The food varied from having good ingredients to basic ones , providing tasty dishes but really were not worth the price. The gnocchi was dissappointing with very basic ingredients,and the sauce underwhelming. The trout, again quite basic with using sliced trout instead of portions. The Lamb saved the experience with tasty, rich flavours and well presented . And the lemon tart was delicious though the ice-cream was too heavily infused with spice pieces , for my liking. Lastly being asked to leave for the next patrons, did make us feel like we were being rushed out for the next round . So 2 hours is not enough for $120+ /person , with no time for coffee or liqueur's. Overall , I enjoyed my night with my friends, but the quality of the dining experience did not match the price. I would not go...
Read moreGreat dining experience just outside the heart of Adelaide's CBD; a farm-to-table style restaurant that hits home with classic (yet elevated) flavours
Herringbone is a restaurant I've been looking forward to coming for some time now and the experience was exactly what I expected. Located just on the outskirts of Adelaide's business district, this restaurant goes back to basics and elevates them to the maximum level The farm-to-table style focuses more on getting the most out of its ingredients rather than overcomplicating a dish, and I loved every bit of that. I think there's a lot of strength that comes with doing more with less
Every element of the food was incredible - the meats were delicious/tender, the sides were unique/flavourful and everything was served with clear passion. Combine this with friendly staff and a welcoming home-style environment and you have a great night out
Places like this speak testimonies to Adelaide's growing good culture, particularly outside the heart of the city. I loved it here and will definitely be back; hopefully steak is on the menu next time (that's...
Read moreThe menu is superb. Restrained, not pretentious, no ego, not 5000 choices, just good, wholesome, quality food. While I am a fussy gnocchi eater (I think my gnocchi is the best), I had to admit that the porcini mushroom gnocchi was so beautifully executed, cooked to perfection with a great balance of flavours. The lamb was delicious, again, no weird, over-the-top excessive ingredients, just classy, tasty food. The hummus was stunning, I over-dosed on the focaccia and the salmon’s flavours bounced around in my mouth with delight.
Our waiter was so nice – big shout-out to him (sorry didn’t ask his name), and the food arrived on time – in a really nice restaurant setting.
I can’t find anywhere who your chefs are, but THANK YOU for your skill. Everything was cooked to perfection, and I loved how I wasn’t served a wanky-ego on a plate. So wholesome, so tasty.
I've had friends visit at all times of the year, and it seems they are...
