The Promenade Restaurant — Restaurant in Adelaide

Me and my partner went for our Anniversary dinner. We pre booked and requested for a table next to window. But when we got there (right on time) we had to take the booth next to the walls the other side as all window side tables were occupied. Coming to the food, we dnt mind paying money for good food. We ordered an appetiser, smoked duck, chicken from the mains and portobello mushroom with garlic butter in sides. The smoked duck was a disaster, it was cold (felt like they took it out from the fridge few minutes ago). It was just a thin cold slice of something like luncheon meat. The chicken was fine. Nothing worth 32$. The most I liked were those portobello mushroom, as honestly you can't go wrong with that, because it was just mushrooms sauteed in garlic butter. Altogether we paid 72$ for as little as this which was not worth it. Was still hungry, but was no point ordering more from here. Being a foodie couple, we been to so many restaurants, starting from $ rated restaurants to $$$ rated restaurants. But never had this disappointing experience with the food in any of the restaurants till now. And we were so busy complaining about the food to each other and discussing the disappointment we actually forgot to take photos for our...

Came in for late dinner. Few tables occupied. I came from hotel entrance because I was staying for the night. I stood for about 5 mins while the lady in the counter socialize and people leaving conveniently. I finally caught the attention of the waiter who was very warm and polite. Ordered prawn linguine and wine. The woman on the counter her walked to 2 gentlemen having wine and asked and socialised again. Im on the next table eating. Food is not spectacular but good. Portion is juat ok. I was served well apart from the hushed laying down of wine on my table. I was given the tab before I requested for it. Gave it back to the waiter signed and he was gracious. Walking out I saw the same woman who ignored me on entry and again ignored me walking out. I was already outside the hotel going for a.walk I heard someone saying Excuse me excuse me. I looked back and she said did I sign. I WAS SO ANNOYED SO I SAID YES ASK YOUR WAITER BECAUSE YOU JUST KEPT IGNORING ME ANYWAY. She turned her back without apology....

Went with a large group for a birthday party. We were seated in the Atrium which was great as it was private and we didn’t have to worry about disturbing other diners.

We found the staff very friendly and the service was excellent. Drinks were delivered quickly but there was a long wait for the meals. I understand it takes longer for large groups but it was a very long wait.

The food was very nice, everything cooked as ordered. The biggest issue was that the meals come without sides. $8 extra for mashed potatoes, or greens or even a bowl of chips is outrageous by any standards. I had the pork ribeye which was cooked perfectly but with two sides it was a very expensive pork chop! Better to add a few dollars to each meal and include potato and veggies than charge outrageously. It puts a night out way beyond the range of most people.

In summary. Great service, nice atmosphere, food was excellent but sides...
