    Good food We were passing through One Tree Hill at around…read morelunch time so it was convenient for us to stop for a bite to eat. The food was really good and it was very reasonably priced! This is good country hospitality at its best!

    Stumbled across this place completely by accident and what a pleasant discovery it was. It's…read moredefinitely designed as more of a bikers road stop and although I am not a motoring enthusiast per say, the environment and vibe of the place really appealed to me. The counter top is the front of an old ford, the table tops have engineering plan/ motor mappy looking thing under glass, they have a map of the Adelaide hills framed on the wall which looked to me, with the aid of a white board marker is used for motorists to get there where-abouts. The outdoor dining area is really Pretty while the inside dining is very much setup as a motor enthusiast shed, come man cave, come quaint cafe and it totally works!! The coffee and food was really good to-boot (? Is that the right word, not sure... But you get the idea). The Throttle Shed has that tucked away feeling but it's actually not very far off Main North Road at all. They seem to have their regulars as others that came in to the cafe all seemed quite familiar with each other which just added to the overall pleasantness. My husband and I were really glad we stopped to check this place out. Ps. They also appear to be open every day except Tuesdays. (They were even open on Christmas Day according to the signage we saw).

    42nd Street Cafe - My scones with jam and cream and the secondary jam and cream I asked for. Notice the size of the scones.

    Okay, I should point out that this is one of those shopping centre cafes so honestly, don't expect…read moretoo much from it, and definitely don't expect it to be one of those cool, inner city cafes, particularly since it does happen to be in Elizabeth. However, the place was actually still pretty decent, and they did serve me up quite a decent pot of tea, as well as some breakfast. Sure, it wasn't great, however it still did have some charm about it.

    I thought this place looked like a good place to have a good old fashioned pot of English breakfast…read moretea and a scone with jam and cream while I read a book. At the front of the store they have a coffee bar with their selections of cakes present, I could see some scones! I thought I was in luck! The lady bullied me into two scones because she assured me one wouldn't be enough, so I relented and ordered two. It took a decent amount of time for my scones to arrive for reasons unbeknown to me. Two large scones arrived with only one small dish of jam and cream for both scones. The size of the scones and the offering of spread would not have been sufficient to spread both scones cut in half. At this point I regretted getting two, they were large. The lady looked offended that I'd asked for more jam and cream and retorted with, heaven forbid, 'I'd have to pay extra...'. I'm happy to pay for what I want but I also I think it's important that there's enough spread for each scone, who's doing the thinking and presentation there?! The cream was from a can but the jam was really nice. The tea was loose leaf and took a long time to get to me after the scone debacle. I think it was steeped for slightly too long because it had severe strength, lucky I'm tough and tend to drink my tea on the strong side because I'd have been embarrassed to have sent that back, it should be hard to mess up tea. Probably won't be in a hurry to return, none of the staff really cared to be there and they all looked like they were rushing around doing stuff but what that stuff was, no one will ever be too sure!

    I've been wanting to check this place out since Ive first noticed it. The outside appearance looks…read moreso enticing with the picture of the menu and the cheap 10 to 15 aud meals. What makes it more inviting is the crowd of people entering the place. They must be doing something right to make it that popular. We ordered seafood platter, spaghetti bolognese and iced chocolate drink. The iced chocolate was served to us immediately. It looks so fancy and the taste is actually yummy. A good first impression. While waiting, I get to observed the place more closely. It's a minimalistic themed place and despite being crowded, they get to maintain the cleanliness of the place. So we've waited and waited. It's been 10 minutes and still no food on the table. Me and hubby considered the busy-ness of the place. I just thought, might as well wait and have good quality food instead of a fast but cheapo finish. Our iced chocolate was starting to melt and that's when I began counting the time. Approximately 15 to 20 minutes passed before food arrived (Iced chocolate no more lol lol). But we had plenty of time so it was alright. Mind you, the presentation was impressive with the seafood platter. The spaghetti bolognese looks simply appetizing too. Unfortunately, the taste wasnt at par to the look. My hubby was really disappointed with the food. You see he loves his spaghetti, and this one frustrated him soooo much. LOL He finds it bland and taste like minced meat caserrole or something. He just can't taste the sphagetti-ness of its sauce. I tried it and it was ok but it reminds me more of a Villie's meat pie filling than spaghetti. Also, the sauce is not your creamy pasta but a watery one. The seafood platter is not bad though but not outstanding either. The ingredients are just the usual fish n chips taste--- not oily but bland. The garlic prawn is ok. I like the pepper squid-- just the right saltiness to it. I like the mayo dip and the salad. Like i said, it's ok but not something I would crave for the second time. If I'll summarize our experience here. It's not too bad compared to the usual fastfood. They have big servings but food is more visually appealing than its taste. If we'll come back, I would probably try their steak. But hubby was pissed with their spaghetti (lol) so it wont happen anytime soon.

    Cafe Acqua at Elizabeth is a product of its environment. The standards of this cafe in North…read moreAdelaide or Norwood would have locals shunning it, and it would certainly crash and fail. But in Elizabeth, it is a welcome change from food court rubbish, or the culinary suicide of McDonalds and KFC. The decor is modern and pleasant, the tables and floor are clean. The food is average, but not bad. Same with the coffee and tea. Nothing bad to say, but nothing pops out as showing exceptional flair to catch a foodies eye or palate. It relies on "all you can eat" promotions to fill the restaurant on slow nights, and for Sunday breakfasts. As already stated, a product of its environment. It does have the advantage of being surrounded by sub-par chain food outlets, and an American pub opposite with a reputation for awful food. Compared to these options, Cafe Acqua does well. An example of the standards is a coffee a friend ordered, the ceramic mug sported a deep chip right where you place your mouth (steel teeth are all the rage in the north it seems....) There is no way the barista could not have seen it when making the beverage, and when I returned it to the bar, rather than make a replacement, the coffee was poured into a replacement cup and handed back. I doubt the mug was thrown out... So, if in the Elizabeth City Centre, you certainly can do worse. Just don't expect much, and you'll be happy.

This members card incident has happened to a few of my friends there but bar tenders never admit they did not give it back. Security is ok there so bar girls find it hard to use there outlaw friends drinking there but will sure try to give it a go. Good for a dance even if dance floor is small but don't trust some of those bar girls they will overcharge you and not hand your members card back then blame you saying you dropped it on the floor ,not really a nice bunch but still go there for a dance as not many places have live bands anymore .
