And we traveled so far to get there. This would be the managers faults since he said "...the best I can do for you". And the manage Derrick asked if I wanted to tip when I was paying (Embarrassing for the restaurant that they have to ask); I felt we deserved better than that. For those that doesn't know the Aussie culture, we do not tip in Australia as locals. The minimum wages starts off really high, whereas, the wages as a wait staff in USA is low therefore we tip if the service was excellent. I've been around Australia since Feb 2014 so I KNOW this. Excellent service deserves a tip. A tip is NOT earned by asking for it..... ANYWHERE in the world. The service and food was excellent. I will post a YouTube Food & Travel review about this establishment soon to come.

Unfortunately, and perhaps this was partly due to the raving reviews and reputation of the restaurant I had grown to understand, my experience here fell short of my expectations. The food was for the most part delicious however the menu itself is very standard traditional fine dining. Signature steak and red meat for the most part with a few fish dishes and even less vegetarian options. We ordered the house made gnocchi for entree. Unfortunately it lacked the melt in your mouth aspect I was expecting from freshly made gnocchi. For mains we ordered the wagyu corned beef brisket which was absolutely delicious. Cooked to perfection. It was fairly salty though and had a rich sauce. The Lamb rump shoulder unfortunately was a bit on the over-well-done side. Sides ordered were the Korean fried Broccoli and sweet potato. We loved both dishes although everything was deep fried and it became a bit much. It would have been nice to accompany our rich mains with sides that were fresh to break it up. For dessert we chose the popular Chocolate Melange for two - the signature board of mini desserts. This was amazing. Word of warning, we were in struggle town by this point - but you are able to opt to take away what you can't finish. Good service is extremely important to me, and this was the down side. For an expensive fine dining restaurant with so many staff, our wait times were terrible. We were not checked upon and particularly between dinner and dessert, we waited almost an hour. It took a few reminders for our dessert to finally come. And after eventually giving up and asking for the bill, it came. Our waitress offered another round of drinks on the house but by that point we were bursting from eating so much that we couldn't possibly fit anything else in. It would have been appreciated if we were offered the dessert on the house instead and we were extremely dissatisfied with their failure to compensate for their overlook in service. Overall the food was enjoyable but it wasn't the best and I've enjoyed better food at more reasonable prices elsewhere. For the steep outlay and reputation they pride themselves on I expected a much higher level of service and taste across the board.

Excellent server, very acceptable wine list for such small restaurant and a limited but interesting menu. Aside from the slightly undercooked, and overcooked broccolini (really hard to present broccolini cooked al dente) the fillet steak I had was very good. Herself was very happy with the prawn dish (as I was with the octopus terrine) and the bavarois was excellent though a little too much gelatin for my taste. We will be back next time we are in Australia for sure!!

Then once you get past the intriguing beauty of the restaurant, there's the food. With a seasonal menu, the food is fresh and absolutely amazing. Did someone say Crispy Lemon and Herb Potatoes with Smoked Salt? Delicious! Though be warned, the meals can get a little pricey but extremely worth it. The breakfast menu prices are on par with other restaurants and very high quality. This is the perfect restaurant to take someone if you wanted to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city and other suburbs such as Glenelg. Though make sure you check the opening hours because there are very particular times when they are open for certain meal times, such as they only provide breakfast on Sundays.

A facebook post showing some of the new renovations actually piqued my interest to visit Locavore…read moreagain after many years of not having dined here...in fact, it was probably named something else the last time I ate here! At first inspection, it seems quite snug inside, and we went in at 7pm on a Friday night, so there were a few Friday night knock-off-drinks patrons at the new (quite funky curved) bar. According to another facebook tidbit, there is still the same number of tables as before, it's just that the room has been rejigged a bit. We had a table upstairs, and the noise level given the time of the week/evening was acceptable. It isn't quiet, so if you're looking for a cosy affair, perhaps look elsewhere. But it is fun and interesting, with local artists' works hanging on the walls (some for sale too!). The upstairs seating also concerned me as I know (having worked with some) that not all waiters are uber-energetic at the best of times...but our waiter was outstanding. Prompt, friendly service with a good knowledge of the menu and, more importantly the beer/wine list (it was Friday night after all!) I have to preface this next section. I (and another dining companion) had a fantastic meal. However... There was one diner at my table that was disappointed. The fish cakes had little to no 'fish' flavour. All potato, slight lemon taste, no fish (I tasted a bit of fish in there, but my dining companion insisted she could taste 'no fish'). The vegetarian gnocchi dish was also listed as coming with goats curd, which another of my dining companions had ordered, but it came out with zero goats curd. It may not seem like a huge issue, but when that's one of the things that pushes you to choose one menu option over another and it doesn't come out, it is a bit disappointing. As I said though, the steak was sublime. Melty, delicious steak, with a perfectly cooked mushy and delicious béarnaise sauce was divine. That paired with a very reasonably priced Bird-in-Hand shiraz made my night. Literally no room for dessert. Overall we had a really nice night. It's a warm atmosphere and the service was really good...perhaps just order another dish if you're after something fishy!

And the German Arms has tables set up out front on the wide sidewalk. You do need to step inside first to place your order and pay. Just let them know you are sitting outside. Staff brings everything out. Its a German restaurant, so of course you have to try the chicken schnitzel. It thin and tender, with the perfect crispy fried coating, served with chips. The pork belly and red cabbage was devine. The apple cider candied coating on the pork was sweet, gooey and savory all at once. And the red cabbage nicely flavored. It paired well with a local Pinot wine. In this area you must go local when ordering a drink. Regrets- no room for dessert. Staff was great. Limited street parking.

Takeaway is good value too - has been very handy when we've wandered in and found them fully booked. From experience, a booking is well worthwhile here, it's a popular place.

The staff here graciously glide through customers ensuring that everyone's needs are met. This is all done with a smile and passion for their profession. One thing I really love in a business is when you see the staff enjoying themselves. It is kind of infectious! You just want to be around them more and support such a positive environment and business. It is all about starting your day in the right way! Décor is simple and funky with cool wooden rustic looking tables. The menu is also simple, which shows that they are confident in what they deliver. With my love of bagels, I did not have to second-guess what I wanted for brekkie. It is served with herbed cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, watercress and pickled onions. Woo! However, after ordering it seems I had to get there earlier. They had run out of bagels! But, the staff where kind enough to offer a sourdough as a sub. Great! And also, I should mention that I am not fussed if a restaurant runs out of something. It just means their food is fresh and popular! Ok, so my brekkie was amazing. Lots of flavour in the cream cheese and pickled onions. Bread and salmon was super fresh and the watercress just tied everything off. Perfect! Could not fault it and would be just as amazing in bagel form. The coffee here is ace as well, great flavour and a strong brew! Good pick me up for the rest of my day. I saw on their menu they do burgers, so I think I will return for that. Absolutely love the staff and atmosphere here. Highly recommended!
