Disappointed with staff and management Rude and Arrogant. I recommend that you stay together if you're in a group, our friends were separated from us while we waited in a line up for 1/2 hour, only for management to tell us a Private party was upstairs and you needed a stamp (even though our friends that were separated didn't have one). These days its really dangerous Distill to separate groups of girls like that!

A pricey bar but you're paying for the experience (and ambience). It is dark and brooding with solid chocolately timber furniture. Very cool. Surprisingly set out in quite a spacious fashion. A chic location to go for a pre-dinner cocktail (the cocktail menu definitely is extensive). Some of the staff were friendly while others gave a bit of a "I'm too cool for school" attitude. I'd liken this place to The Botanic.

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.

Classic Italian food served here. Hearty and delicious pastas. Pizzas were loaded with toppings. Service was efficient. The restaurant can get a bit loud though when busy. A good place for a casual dinner.

Went for lunch Sunday 20/5/12. Their web site states all day dining so did not rush. Its false advertising! At 2.30pm you cannot order in the dining room, you must walk to the Saloon Bar other end of Hotel and then you must choose from a much smaller restricted menu. Staff are dogmatic and unhelpful. Had a look at the food coming out, seriously, go elsewhere, it will be more enjoyable.

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.

Overall this place wasn't bad but not overly fantastic. It is a rather fun place but no bookings are taken so be prepared to wait. The ribs are overrated if you've had good ribs in USA. Otherwise, the burgers are good, margarita goes down easy. Our nachos were cold and not overly appealing to our disappointment.

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.

We went for the dessert bar. After a misunderstanding, we were told that under no circumstances could they fit in one extra chair for our group. The lady who served us was rude and unhelpful, and we were made to feel very unwelcome. I also felt that children are frowned upon. We won't be coming back.

Located at the top of Mosley square, behind the Town Hall, with the main entrance off the grassed area overlooking the pier and the beach, this situation creates a private and intimate dining experience. It is slightly out of the way but well worth seeking out.

The restaurant decor is French style with deep terra-cotta walls and French cafe two toned chairs. At each end are comfortable leather lounge suites in deep tan. There are attractive arched windows above french doors opening out onto a large el fresco area with fantastic sea views. Between the French doors are fabulous full size wine barrels with antique style candelabras atop. Around the large well stocked bar are white leather and chrome sprung bar stools, very comfortable and very trendy.

From a predominately tapas menu we started with the tempura fried oysters, with wakami salad, pickled ginger and wasabi mayo, the best cooked, dressed oysters we have ever tasted. This was followed by the combination seafood and meat platter for two, accompanied by fries, rocket salad and three delicious dipping sauces. The platter was very generous with a great array of seafood, chicken, and tender slices of rare steak, totally satisfying.

The recommended wine was a perfect accompaniment to the seafood courses. Our choices for desserts were the strawberry Eaton mess, amazing, and a chocolate Fondant with cherry and red wine compote and vanilla bean ice-cream, deliciously gooey.

This restaurant has a very inviting, intimate vibe, with exceptional food. Spoil yourself.

"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.
