Adelaide
Reviewed By Tony

Service:
Was very slow, just one waitress and the Maitre'd. Another staff waitress would be a good idea.

Presentation:
Menu was not large but well balanced and thought out, with a hint of French provincial and seafood. The recommended signature dish was the Seafood Linguine.

A tad disappointing would be an under statement. The scallops were minute and over cooked as with most of the other seafood I could identify. The mussels just disintegrated, if this was their signature dish they have a long way to go. Sorry guys but you need to do some work.

Wine List:
Some VERY good local wines e.g. Cape N' Estaing Shiraz, however there wine list was over priced when compared to other wine lists in Adelaide restaurants.

Value for Money:
In simple terms over priced ( $32.00 for the main course ) and wine list prices were over the top. I have to judge the restaurant on the night I was there and if I had known of a better restaurant I would have left. The food quality was poor. ALL seafood has to be cooked very gently and near under done to preserve that sea food flavors. This was well done.

Ambiance:
It was average, white linen and not crowded, good view of the sea. Decor was sparse.

The feel good factor:
This restaurant does have possibilities, but they need to make an effort to make it a top nosh restaurants, the quality, presentation, value for money and service, I have to give it a 2+ glass rating.

I may be back
