2012 - Staff are still very friendly and professional and know their food well. The food has definitely got more of an Asian influence under the new head chef. The chicken curry was tasty (great mix of spices) but the presentation didn't have a wow factor (it was served in a bread roll). The venison and lamb were cooked to perfection but some of the side salads/garnishes on the plate didn't work too well e.g. the bitter salad with the venison.

I wouldn't recommend the flounder. The fish wasn't crispy but the side noodle salad was tasty (too bad you can't just get the side salad). Their signature "Hilton" dessert consisting of sago with banana, mango and coconut cream foam served with a banana spring roll and vanilla ice cream was lovely and light and refreshing but could have really done with a sprinkling of mint to make the flavours pop. Luckily I had mine with mint tea.

The lobby seems to be getting louder and louder which is a shame. Diners don't want to be listening to dance music when they eat.

Overall, we were quite happy with our meal. Some good things with the food and it's exciting to see new flavours. However, not all new ideas for flavours worked well. Some effort could be made to make the dining area more separate from the loud lobby lounge.

2010 - Friendly and professional staff who know their product very, very well. We were very impressed by the quality of the mains and loved the fact that all the produce was locally produced.

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.

Great place, I can’t believe how many times I have driven past it and never really noticed. It can be easy to miss but if you are in town for meal with the family, on holiday or just looking for a high quality fresh meal, this is your place.

We actually came here after a friend recommended the Store to my Wife. They did a great job with the kids and they did a good job with a few larger groups we saw that day. We loved their fixed dinner menu that had a fixed price, we will be back to try their all day breakfast next time.

We visited this restaurant on 16/05/2012 a Wednesday it was not very busy, however, being the only westerners dining we were not offered sharing bowls or chopsticks, when we requested the waitress, a person from an adjoining table jumped up(?) and brought us a plate. I told her I would like a bowl and chopsticks, whereas she replied, you have cutlery. I would like chopsticks and a bowl please.

Originally the selected meals were just put on the table, nothing else, Maybe we were not the right ethnic group? the meal was quite adequate once we were provided with eating utensils. I will not go back, prejudice is looming in Woodville.

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

"Whipped" Bake Bar Cafe is located at the beach end of Semaphore Rd. On the foot path in front of the cafe is an Al fresco area with cheerful orange and white tables and chairs, at the rear is a private courtyard, with predominately black and white tables and a couple of the orange and whites, combined with high tables and bright yellow stools, creating a very striking effect.

A central eating area has a stunning gold and orange wall paper feature wall and a central fireplace. The main cafe area repeats the gold and orange feature wall with orange upholstered bench seats, the rest of the decor is predominately black and pale grey, with polished floors. Emerald green book case-shelves highlight the orange and emerald juicer nearby, which is constantly in use. Interesting and unusual light fittings line the counter area above a fabulous display of cakes, muffins and lunch specialties.

Behind the counter a whole blackboard wall has the descriptions of the coffee beans used here and where they originated, and two coffee grinders ensure that the coffee is always fresh. A new coffee Synesso machine and a top barista produce a loverly crema, textured coffee with a pleasant aftertaste. The "Whipped" states, "We bake and cook from scratch, using South Australian fresh produce, come in a taste the difference".

We agreed and ordered from an excellent breakfast menu the "Whipped Breakfast" of free range eggs, bacon, roast tomato, mushrooms, chorizo, hash brown and toast, excellent. My wife chose from the lunch specials board, prawns and cous cous salad, fresh, delicious and enjoyable, a thoroughly satisfying lunch experience. This cafe is very ecco friendly, with a written, sustainability, mission statement.

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.

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.

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.

Happy hour on a Sat night? Hence the rating on drinks and value. Not sure who this place is catered for. It plays 90s music but is filled with teens and the token stray middle aged holidayers who are staying at the hotel next door. Too weird.

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.

Always a good venue for drinks and food. The beer selection is extensive so it is always fun to try something new. Food is done incredibly well. I recommend the waterzooi - fruit de mer (creamy seafood soup). It's incredibly rich (so wash it down with beer) but those garlic croutons are the best invention. Adds incredible texture and flavour to the meal.

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 wish I could say good things about this place because it's close to home but, unfortunately ,it's very average. The food is average and the service is average. I've given it a lot of chances over the years but I won't go back anymore.
