Fantastic service. Made a dish from scratch for one of our children. Couldn't do enough to help us. Food was very fresh and delicious. Would definitely recommend to others.

Really lovely cafe, beautiful and clean with nice looking menu. Consistently bad coffee though. They always overheat the milk and spoil the taste.

Posh Italian food. I loved the scampi linguine that I had here at lunch. Such a wonderful combination of flavours and pasta cooked to perfection. Could have room for dessert if it wasn't for the fact that when we asked for the menus and still hadn't heard back for 15 mins we had run out of time. In summary, good food, poor service. I wouldn't come here when I'm in a rush.

If there was ever a restaurant that was stuck in time then this is it. Decor and service are really stuck in history (that is, you need to old money to dine here). It is the first class lounge of the Titanic, feels old and stuffy. Such a shame, because the food here is incredible. Some of the best that I've had in Adelaide. On all occasions that I've been here the mains have always been done well and offer very modern and fresh flavours. (Not everyone is bold enough to serve marinated lamb with a watermelon salad.) The wine list is also excellent.

I don't understand the hype that surrounds this restaurant. We've been keen to try Eros restaurant (not the bar area) for a while after recommendations from a number of friends. But were very disappointed by the experience.

Starting on the service, for a restaurant that charges so much I would expect a higher calibre of staff. Staff were predominantly young school girls who didn't know the menu and also struggled to bring out the correct bill. However, to their credit, they did take things in their stride and were doing their best. This by itself is not detrimental but the food was also terrible.

Serving sizes were too small (given the price) and the dishes were done poorly. The white bait were over done (they were like hollow pieces of batter but somehow still not crisp) and the marinated lamb (serviced with pita bread, tzatziki and hommus) looked this crumbs of overcooked lamb (like someone went to a yiros shop and scrapped the bottom of the tray).

This is really a shame because that dish was presented well. It is a really great idea to allow diners to make mini yiros. The dessert platter was a real mistake. It took over twenty mins to prepare. This was surprising given all of the items on the menu should have been ready (this wasn't souffle). When it came out I could understand why it took so long. Everything was being defrosted. All the desserts were soggy including the Galataboureko.

I'm happy to be corrected. Perhaps they should be soggy. Perhaps the syrup that was poured over everything made them soggy (the desserts were so soggy though, they would have had to be sitting around in syrup for at 20 mins). That still doesn't mean they should be flavourless. The Galataboureko custard defintely lacked flavour. It was like a custard colour gelatinous chunk. The pieces were cut in uneven sizes (so presentation was appalling).

Finally, being on a main road, it probably isn't a good idea for them to leave water glasses on the table, especially not upside down. The glasses collected a lot of dust and sediment.

Wow, this place turns Thai food into "cuisine". The food is beautifully crafted and has an interesting combination of flavours and uses fresh ingredients. The green curry is a favourite of mine. The strange coffee duck dish should be renamed to sugar duck. The syrup is sickly sweet and lacks coffee taste. It's a bit of an expensive option but it does offer an excellent setting.

I don't think of this place as offering authentic Thai (go to Sydney or better still Thailand) but it is a good meal option on Rundle St. Food is good and not too expensive. Much like Rundle Spices but slightly better ambience.

Who knew that there was such a swanky bar above Rundle Mall? Definitely a place where the beautiful people hang out. The design of the venue is reminiscent of a New York bar. Bar food was quite "gourmet", well as gourmet as you get at a bar. (Roast potatoes instead of chips.) Music was on way too loud. It more of a club than a place to go to for casual drinks.

Burgers are mediocre. The bread isn't particularly nice and it was burnt. Nothing too exciting about the fillings but not too bad either. The service is appalling. Bar staff were chatting to friends for over 5 mins while I waited to order drinks. It's quite an expensive pub but okay if you have the entertainment book.

The Good

An excellent lunch featuring some of the best pasta I have ever had in the form of the tagliolini with a rich sugo featuring many, many chucks of spanner crab meat. The offer of a dessert tasting menu when we could not decide on our dessert options was a fantastic service touch.

The Bad

None.

The Meal

House bread with olives and olive oil

Arancini alla Boscaiola - Lightly fried risotto croquettes flavoured with wild mushrooms, black truffle and parmesen

Fiori di Zucchine - Lightly fried zucchini flowers filled with ricotta cheese and pine nuts, served with tomato relish

Tagliolini con Granchio - Fine pasta ribbons with a rich sugo of Queensland spanner crab meat, tomatoes and basil.

Pappardelle con Anitra - Handmade broad pasta ribbons with roasted duck meat, red capsicums, spinach, pinenuts and olive oil.

Dessert tasting platter - semifreddo, Torta di cioccolate, zabaglione, panna cotta amongst others

I love the Bomb Alaska here. Probably one of the best I have ever tasted. Even better than my mums!

Beautiful location, perfect to take visiting friends and family. The food is always fresh and flavoursome. The seafood is cooked to perfection. Authentic desserts that pair well with the drink menu. Staff are always well informed and friendly.

Honestly, It is so hard to fault, it was perfect. As you drive up you wonder what you're in for, which is part of the appeal. We were part of a group of 20, ordered Ala carte, I'm a Chef and all the guests were foodies, so we are knowledgeable. Other restaurants in the Adelaide Hills wouldn't allow group bookings unless they were on a set menu?. Probably because they want an easy buck with minimal fuss. Maxamillians delivers with ease and grace.

The service was amazing, they were almost mind readers. The style was very traditional, perfect for the Autumble get together. All 20 of us came away commenting it was 'memorable', the wine was great too, Well Done, thankyou.

My partner and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone and we have no plans to dine at Auge again. Such a shame as the atmosphere and styling of the building were simply beautiful.

The food wasn't memorable. For the most part the meals were bland and lacking presentation. The Agliotti had chewy edges where the pasta had been joined but had not been rolled out to the thickness of the rest of it, as it ought to be. There were bone fragments in the rabbit gnocchi.

The desserts we're plated for too long, the sorbets appeared to have melted to half their original height by the time they reached us. The "tiramisu" (and I use the term loosely) was a peculiar adaptation of what is normally a lovely dessert.

The coffee was outstanding, possible the best coffee I've ever had.

We were not asked at any point if we were enjoying our meals. The service was confusing, several people looking after our table of four. They seemed over staffed and unorganised.

If I had to use one word to describe this venue it would be "complacent".

Delightful tapas and pizza place. Lovely ambience, really comfortable chairs, and delicious food. My only complaint would be that the waitstaff need a bit of prompting, and that $10 for a Knappstein or Vale Ale is a bit rich.

We were really looking forward to a special night out but couldn't get a babysitter so had to bring our kids along which wasn't a problem as they were really well behaved.

Our entrees and dinner were quite nice, not exceptional though and the desserts sounded lovely on the menu but were disappointing and my glass of wine not even a quarter filled. Our major complaint was the level of service. Each of our courses was incredibly slow to arrive and this can't be related to cooking meals for the kids as they only had garlic bread and a kids meal and the waiters were slow to take our orders. All the people around us arrived and left in the time that we were there.

Our kids are young and managed to be very well behaved and stayed in their seats for the most part but by the end they had effectively been sitting still for 3 hours which really wasn't fair on them. I would have thought that it would be a priority to get the couple with the 3 kids served and out as quickly as possible, not leave them to be the last.

Had the food been great I would probably have gone back without the kids but it really wasn't worth the trip.

Food was acceptable but not very good value for money as they try to sell you every thing except the kitchen sink. Better restaurants in the marina. Rude waiter got a .10c tip!

On hols, ordered combo rice noodles. Long wait and a fly in my meal. Told waiter I'm not paying for the fly! So I got $2.80 off the dish, paid ten and only worth five with the fly.
