This review is for Victoria Hotel, O'Halloran Hill SA

We've been eating here for years on and off. Since they've added the "steakhouse" component I'm now a convert. They do GREAT steak! I regularly have the fillet mignon, hubby the rib eye and they're delicious. Their chips are good, their onion rings fantastic and I just love the little caesar salad that comes with it - makes a great change from the usual garden salad. Yum - highly recommend. Not cheap, around $35 for a steak but worth it. My only objection is they charge $2 for mustard which I think is super cheeky.

This hotel is perched on a hill with fantastic views. It's charming and full of character. Great to visit in nice weather as it has a lovely balcony to sit and enjoy your meals. Eaten here a number of times and always good. Really like their salt'n'pepper squid, fish and chips and hubby loves their burger. Would recommend booking on weekends in particular as it's very popular.

We eat here often and the food and service is always great. The dining room has the character and charm of a lovely country pub. The meals are generous and their daily specials are numerous.

This venue was big enough for my friend's 40th, holding around 150 people easily. The service we received was fantastic, both on the night and with booking and leading up to the party. We were able to use their kitchen and sound system and they even had a big screen so we could show those obligatory embarrassing photos of the birthday girl. Hire costs were about $200 for the entire night and they even opened up early for us (around 4pm) so we could decorate. There's lots of parking and I would highly recommend.

Very hard to resist the temptations in this shop. Specialising in ready made meals there are some great options. We really enjoyed the Cheese & Onion Tart, the beef rendang and the spicy chicken meatballs. Sticky date cake was a winner too.

Approximate cost: $16

This review is for The Meat & Wine Co, Southbank VIC

Although this restaurant has the same food as the one in Sydney, it's just not quite as good - location, location, location. Southbank is nice but Darling Harbour is fantastic. The food however is great in both locations. Their steaks are amazing as are their chips that come out in a mini "deep fryer" basket. Their ribs are also a standout and they have a great wine list. Yum!

This review is for Yum Yum, Daw Park SA

Although the food is quite tasty it's just not enough to want to return. The food is a bit oily and if I were to pick a favourite meal of the night it would probably be yum yum crispy beef. Unfortunately we wouldn't return. Quite cheap though.

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for Lucky Lupitas, North Adelaide SA

Really tasty Mexican food. Hate not being able to book a table - mainly because I hate waiting. Unfortunately there's no choice here, so we tend to skip lunch and go for an early dinner. I loathe coriander so have to make sure they don't add any on otherwise it's on everything.... almost. Burgers are good but the nachos are my favourites. Margaritas are pretty delish too. Serves are a little small, but designed for sharing which means you get to try a number of dishes.

This review is for Greek Olive, Bedford Park SA

One of the special things about Olive is that it's run by such lovely people. Super friendly and helpful and the food is lovely. Loved their dips, particularly the skordalia. Loved the calamari and the saganaki. The yiros and lamb souvlakia were standouts.

This review is for The Yiros King, Reynella SA

Their menu is fairly limited, however their yiros' are fantastic. With either lamb or chicken you can't go wrong - have a combo - YUM. The serves are generous. Have been going back for years and will continue to. They are a little pricier than some other yiros places, but worth it.
