Great quality Asian food, from a la carte menu, with all the favourites! Fast service, with an atmosphere slightly more sophisticated indoors than outdoors, but very relaxed nevertheless, with great prices. Delicious stirfries!

We booked a table of 10 and was put in our own room with a television and air-conditioning. The service was okay. We had to get up to order our meals, and the drinks we had to order at the bar. The meals were served within a good time. But the steaks came out were of various quality. A scotch fillet was served with so much fat it was more like a rump. But after complaining of the quality, my friend was given his money back. Other people almost licked their plates clean. All in all, we'll all return. One bad steak out of 9 isn't bad.

Great food at expected prices. Large cocktails for $12. Their motto of 'best steaks in town' fell a bit short - with my son-in-laws steak medium steak looking a bit rarer than medium. Prawn cocktails were amazing. The ringing of the bell when someone started the larger steaks was a bit annoying. I asked for a dessert menu, but they never brought it, so we left. Also, it would at the back.

Their signature dish 'Rundle Spices' noodles, was a real winner at $12.50. My daughter ordered the green curry chicken, and was delighted with it. They have lunch specials, and are popular for business people and uni students alike. Fast service. Delicious food. Returning soon.

Very fast service, with deliciously food and a beautiful view!! Time it for sunset!! The chargrilled/sizzling dishes are very popular! And the pud-thai is a personal favourite! Very decently priced!

A great pub meal! Go for the fish and chips, with a beer or two. Have dinner here with a group of friends, and then see a movie at the Palace Nova, or when the Fringe is in Adelaide, see a comedy show after-wards. Always busy at the front bar with uni students, but they do know quality at affordable prices!!
Approximate cost: $18-$26
What a gem! With views of North Terrace, and conveniently located next to a tram stop, I'm surprised I haven't been to this restaurant sooner! Meals are served on a hot stone, and you cook it yourself! I probably overcooked the crocodile (no-one to blame but myself), but the kangaroo, emu, and fish were cooked properly. The bush chutney I wish was sold in jars!! That is one of the best chutneys I have tasted. Service was fabulous. Restaurant wasn't too busy. Will be returning with friends soon!
Approximate cost: $17-$33
We used the Entertainment Book voucher for 25% off total bill. The menu says 'Serious About Meat', and yes, they are! Steaks, burgers and chicken parmigiana are all winners, as you would expect from a pub-style restaurant! Great atmosphere! Time dinner, so you can stroll along Rundle Street afterwards.
Approximate cost: $19-$45
I think the restaurant is losing it's appeal. The food is good, but not worth the price tag. The atmosphere is quite sophisticated, but the waitresses aren't. They engaged us in very casual conversations, and I wasn't there to converse with them. They weren't very fast in removing finished plates, and we always had to get their attention to order more drinks. Oysters were a favourite on our table, and prawns were decent sized.
Approximate cost: $34
Recommend the steak grills! My son-in-law loves the steak with mash, and portobello mushrooms. I had the pasta with cockles (I have a habit of ordering anything pasta/seafood on menus). Next time I'll order the dessert tasting plate, but I was just too full!
