Super delicious meal, the setting is amazing and so relaxed it was beautiful. Really good food and service.

Special mention to the awesome staff Vanessah who looked after us very well, Javi and Heloise.

A must place to visit whilst in Adelaide.

Amazing New Year's Eve lunch with my beautiful wife. The Lobster bisque was a highlight and tasted amazing, it is a 10/10 dish no question. The beef was so tender and flavoursome with great sides. The barramundi was cooked perfectly with crispy skin. The staff were fantastic and service was great. Highly recommend.

I had lunch here for a farewell for my friend who moved back to Sydney and I'm glad to have chosen here for that opportunity.
I thought this restaurant would be located in the cube, but it was actually 30m away from there.
They prepared outside tables where you can see nice vineyard views.
You need to select either 2 or 3 course menu, but you can still make choices from their set menu which has a lot of variety.
We went with 2 the meal course(Entree and main or main and dessert)and added one of entrees and lobster dish. All dishes were perfectly cooked (especially meat)and came in perfect timing. The staff were very attentive and gave us excellent explanations regarding how this course works.
We enjoyed the whole experience but our favorite was the lobster dish. It was a small serve but it was just an umami bomb?
We ended up cleaning up the dish with bread
If you have lunch there, you can also explore the cube including Dali's exhibition. You can do free tasting at the highest floor of the cube as well
We spent 4 hours enjoying lunch here and exploring surrounding area.

Wow wee. Try the lobster degustation. You need a decent afternoon to get here, take in the estate and then sit down for a big session. I wish I got more lobster. Definitely will go back.

Great wines (amazing tawny), and the food is divine (the beef main with mushroom and polenta was foo'gasmic).

We had a birthday lunch with the family and everything was great! To begin with we were running late but they were still able to accommodate us which made it less stressful, the whole service was lovely and we weren't rushed at all. Now the best part, the FOOD. Everything was so tasty that we now need to plan to come back several times so I can try more on their menu, the only issue was that I couldn't fit more food in! Even the kids menu and food were yum! The free visit to the cube was the cherry on top. We had a great day so thanks to the staff!

Fyi the photo cuts off the kids menu but the main comes with the amazing chocolate dessert! Only $45 for the kid!

This was an amazing foodie experience. The lobster bisque was to die for, oysters/prawns so fresh and the lamb was delectable.
Best best food I have eaten in a long time!

The food here is incredible. The lobster bisque and chocolate fondant was so divine. A really lovely experience and still great after so many years

Delicious food, highly experienced gracious staff welcome patrons to the well established ambience of this restaurant. We were seated, by choice, on the verandah where we wined and dined to perfection while enjoying the fabulous gardens and views over portion of the southern vales. Of course if one wishes to see more the whole spectrum is visible from the 4th floor of the Cube next door! This was my umpteenth visit and certainly, I'll be back!

My wife and I had the degustation with the lobster bisque option yesterday. No words can describe how amazing everything was. The paired wines just topped everything off. The special touch of our waiter overhearing that it was our anniversary and he decided to bring out an extra special plate with our coffee just completed an extraordinary day.

The service went over and above what anyone would ever expect.

We would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

The wine tasting and the tour of the cube just added to the over all experience.

If we could fault anything it would only be the timing between courses just needed a few more minutes.

The degustation is something incredible. Be sure to opt in for the lobster medallion with lobster bisque - simply wow.

To add to this, the service is wonderful. And the restaurant’s location in the wineries of the McLaren is filled with stunning views.

There’s a couple behind this gem. They’ve been running it for 17 years - I wish them many more. Can’t wait to visit again!

Note: the menu changes 4 times a year

Me and my husband went there for the degustation menu with wine pairing. It was 115 dollars for the degustation menu and 65 dollars for the wine pairing. Expensive but we'll worth it! The experience, the view, the timing, the service, everything went according to our expectations.
We shared the wine pairing and I think that was the best thing to do because it was a lot of wine. We had about 9 dishes including the clean palate dishes.
The extra 15 dollars for the lobster is overpriced but worth it as well. I think it shouldn't be extra price but anyway.
The desert is sensational.the chocolate option is decadent and delicious with lots of different versions of chocolate things.
Service was excellent. The bathrooms are nice and clean too.
We seated outside and I highly recommend because the view is beautiful! Inside is funky but old style farm house, with lots of painting and sculptures.

Absolutely delicious food so full of flavour and well balanced. Service was fantastic and the staff were so friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend a visit. We booked for the 2 course menu, but changed it to 3 course when we decided try the fabulous and intriguing flavoured deserts. The restaurant booking came with complimentary wine tasting and entry to the Salvador Dali exhibition. Highly recommend!

We have been privileged to have experienced this amazing venue over the years whether it be for special occasions or treating interstate & overseas guests … and must say … it never disappoints… it’s very rare to find a restaurant that consistently serves 5 star food and wines and combined with top notch service from Jo and her team … one of S. A. ’s icons

Excellent restaurant with amazing food and service. We are from Victoria and had no idea what we had even booked in to for lunch, but it certainly didn’t disappoint. The lobster is as brilliant as stated - defs try it if you have the option! I feel like the surcharge for it is a little weird and it may as well just be one price? But worth the extra dollars. Our mains were just as good with the lamb and duck and dessert was delicious. Excellent service throughout, didn’t feel rushed and the view from the window was lovely. Really happy we randomly booked into the restaurant in-between our wine tastings for the day.

I've been eating here for many years and a group of us have had Christmas lunch here for over 10 years and my children's 21st but this time I was so disappointed the food was cold (my pet hate) and the prices of the wine, considering it is in house was outrageous good luck to you in the future but that's it for me.

One of the best dining experiences we have ever had. Food lived up to the hype. Was told to try the lobster bisque and it did not disappoint and every other dish was was simply faultless. As was the service… just understated, personable and genuine. The kids’ chocolate pudding dessert should be on the main menu! Thank you
