Middle Beach Huts have a range of gorgeous individual, colourful Beach huts to choose from. They are beautifully decorated, modern and comfortable and a credit to the owners. Each hut is individual in looks and are simply stunning. This is a lovely great place to stay for a quiet relaxing holiday or short weekend. Friendly owners made our experience pleasurable and memorable. You can even get married in the beautiful grounds. Highly recommended, definitely worth a stay!

My choice for local Indian take away and we recently dined in. I love their food & service is excellent with very helpful & friendly staff that went out of their way to assist us. A small. cosey but authentic dining area whether you are looking for a casual meal out or a quiet meal for two. I find most Indian restaurants good value and here is no exception. Thumbs up!

This review is for Cafe Nova, Gawler SA

I don't like this place at all but for some reason others seem to love it. The staff are slow, vague and have no idea about customer service. The tables aren't cleared before you're seated and when they do clean them they are left wet and sticky. Unfortunately my partner likes this place so I've been here on a number of occasions and I've only enjoyed a meal once which was a traditional schnitzel (cant really go wrong there can you?) My last meal was prawns in a garlic sauce on creamy potato bake. Seriously, who puts a cream sauce on top of a cream potato bake??

This is a lovely cosey cafe with a certain ambience and a chocoholics heaven! When I worked in town i'd visit here (far too) often for a sweet or savoury and a large indulgent Mocha. I'd sit upstairs, next to the window, and unwind to gentle sounds of jazz. After my sugar load i'd buzz blissfully through the rest of my work day.
Anything chocolate is divine although the savories are nothing special and the staff are as expected but worth a visit if you're a chocoholic.

This review is for The Java Hut, Gawler SA

I have mixed views on The Java Hut. The food is great. Their pancakes are to die for and an indulgent treat and they do a great big breakfast which is THE best value in Adelaide! Hats off to the cook!!
It's a very popular place so go early to guarantee a seat, but because of this it can be very cramped to the point where you have to shuffle past people who are waiting to pay or get seated and they seem to cram everyone in. There's a lot of waiting staff and this just adds to the cramped conditions.
The staff are young, and inexperienced and, on my first visit where we at the end of the breakfast sitting, when the staff got out the mop and bucket and starting disinfecting the floor before we'd finished eating. The smell was so awful it put me off my food.
My suggestion, go early before the rush.

This review is for Belmont Hotel, Belmont VIC

I had one of my worst dining experiences in this pub. We we're visiting from interstate and our Hotel recommended the Belmont. The bistro was only about a third full and yet after an hour we still hadn't received our meals. Everyone else in the room had been served and they couldn't have made us feel any less important if they'd tried. After we complained we told that our meals would be 5 mins and that our drinks would be free for the rest of the night. We did get our meals shortly after and they were ok but the evening was already ruined and I'd lost my appetite. Our drinks were free (1 orange juice and a bourbon and coke) but $48 for two 'pub' standard meals and an excuse of 'oh sorry, it was kinda crazy tonight' just wasn't acceptable. The staff were also scruffy in T-shirts and shorts or black jeans. Exit two very angry customers.

Located in a convenient spot in TTP if you want to go to the movies after. We had lunch here and had a very nice Yiros Pizza. The value and portion sizes are very good and the pizza was very tasty and service was quick.
Unfortunately my orange juice was bland and watery and my partners coke was flat with not a bubble of fizz to be seen.
The staff looked miserable with not a smile to be seen, they weren't friendly or helpful. When my partner asked for a straw (because the container was empty) he was pointed to the end of the bar to get his own. The looked bored and very dis-interested and looked like they didn't want to be there.
If you don't care about service, the food is quite good, unfortunately if I get bad service I don't go back.

9 of us went here for Mothers Day lunch. The decor hasn't changed in years and is tired and outdated. The dining room was full. The menu was your typical 'pub grub' but way over priced. I ordered Salt & Pepper squid for $26. An hour and a quarter later our meals arrived. One of the meals was incorrect and after being told that other people would be served first and the staff shrugging their shoulders and saying they had no idea how long the replacement meal would be, we gave up and asked for a refund.

My salt & pepper squid wasn't bad and came with chips but no tartare sauce, very basic presentation and certainly not $26 worthy. I know were weren't the only unhappy customers and the staff must've had enough complaints for one day because no-one apologised for the delay or seemed like they even cared.

It made our Mothers Day very average. Sorry, but won't be going back.

This is my top choice for pizza in my area and I've tried most of them. The food is consistently great. The pizzas have a nice thin base with generous toppings. Nothing thick and stodgy here! Be prepared for a little bit of a wait but the pizza is worth it.

This review is for Beyond India, North Adelaide SA

This is one of my top choices for Indian food. This is a stunning looking restaurant and the staff are very helpful. Food is beautiful! I highly recommend the Malai Kofta, which was recommended to me by the staff, even if you aren't vegetarian, but I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. If I could - I'd eat here every night!
