McLaren Vale Restaurants

This historically amazing restaurant has literally 'risen from the ashes' to become, once again, an outstanding and unique eating venue.

We arrived half an hour early and the server, Layla, suggested that because our table was still occupied we could go to the cafe next door for a takeaway which we did and it was very pleasant. When we returned for our table, Layla welcomed us as if we were royalty, showed us to the table, and made sure we had everything we needed prior to ordering. Even though this is standard in most Beachside cafes, Layla's good mood, enthusiastic spirit, and genuinely welcoming demeanour were infectious. I had the omelette with over roasted tomatoes, which I had specifically asked for the kitchen to almost kill them under the grill, and everything was perfect. The food was to die for. I was initially a little bit concerned prior to trying it out,as I had heard other reviews state that it was overpriced for the food serving. I found this was not the case, and my omelette not only filled the entire plate. It was under $20. Would I eat at this cafe again, absolutely, and I want to give a shout out to Layla because she went about and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, treated us as if we were royalty, and added to an already wonderful experience real her infectious youthful exuberance.

We had a table of eleven and everyone was very impressed. The food was excellent. Not one complaint about anything.

Thanks for a wonderful experience ,, we enjoyed the wine tasting , followed by an amazing lunch , everything was delicious, staff helpful and spent time explaining each course ! Thank you for a special day out ! Will definitely recommend !

We had called in for coffee a few months ago and saw the menu. Yesterday we booked for lunch. Great view facing the ocean, comfy chairs, great staff and the menu was amazing. It was a special occasion so no hurry so we started with some small things, a grazing plate and finished off with two amazing mains. The portion sizes were really generous. We really enjoyed our lunch and will be back again.
