It came in an oven pot obviously all baked together and it was more like a sweet, thick pumpkin soup with a few gnocchi pieces. Very rich and a bit bland. My husband had the steak special which he said was nice. My mum has the eggplant which again she said was nice but too small. For dessert we had brûlée and the brownie special. Again both so sweet! And I normally love dessert so all in all. It was average and I probably wouldn't rush back.

However, it actually isn't a bad pub at all, I guess because of the lovely beer garden that they have out the side. I'm not quite sure where the whole tower thing comes from, though I suspect it might have something to do with the turret out the front, which isn't particularly big, but most people do consider that to be a tower. Yeah, it isn't a bad pub, quite nice actually, and has some nice beers available as well. Oh, and the service was pretty good as well.

Beautifully decorated with a palm garden boardwalk, wooden furniture and a nice cushiony cocktail lounge. Their head chef is a female and her newish menu is very nice, but not that cheap. The steaks are around $25-$35 dollars an there are snitzels, salads, baguettes, pastas and plenty of entrees, starters and desserts. There is a bottle shop outside with a wine section and plenty of parking. Not a raging weekend nightspot but just a nice casual pub a bit fancier and larger than most around here.

In the last week I have eaten here twice. The first time I selected two appetisers as my 'main' (1)…read moresalt and pepper tofu with a sweet chili sauce and (2) nachos. The sweet chili sauce added just the right amount of sweet to counter the delightful saltiness. I liked it but would not want a larger portion. The nachos were a disappointment because of the sickly sweet "salsa" (yuk!!) not at ALL what is normally considered salsa in Latin America or in North America. It was so sweet that it overpowered the other flavours; I couldn't finish it despite the other high quality ingredients (cheese, guacamole, sour cream, black beans). To be fair it was a very generous portion for the money. The second visit was 4 stars- terrific! I ordered salmon with broccolini and tender asparagus tips. The fish was perfectly cooked and the soy based sauce as not at all overpowering. The vegetables were steamed to perfection. Well done! My husband and I shared the roasted pumpkin appetiser, the size was perfect for sharing! The spice and seasoning were spot on. The nachos were so sweet and have ruined me on having them again as well as resulted in a 4/5 stars review.

Okay, I should say that I have had some good times and some great meals at this place, and it has…read morebeen a semi-regular haunt for me back when I lived in Adelaide. However, my last visit has left a really bitter taste in my mouth since I was short changed and then the bartender began to argue with me about how I wasn't short changed. I decided that I really didn't want to take it any further so I just took my beer, went outside and finished it before heading off to meet some friends. Look, as a pub it isn't bar, and the prices are pretty good (and they make a decent schnitzel as well), however while I generally give places a couple of goes, this last experience really has put me off the place for good.

Look, in a way I…read morehave been to this place a few times, but usually only to visit the bottle shop, so one afternoon I decided that it might be a good idea to rectify that situation. Well, in a way it is basically just another one of those suburban pubs with a rather suburban atmosphere. Sure, it really isn't one of the best, but it still does have some charm about the place.

Everyone has a local, and this was mine for the start of my drinking life. The Payneham Tavern has…read morechanged a lot from those innocent days of being ID'd and trying to find Holy Grail on the Juke Box. A new, fancy building (bit old now) including a Sports Bar, Restaurant area and expansive 'pay to see flashing lights' zone (pokies) has seen the Payneham Tavern become one of the more sizeable pubs in the area, and currently seems to attract the elderly crowd keen for a flutter. The menu has changed a few times with a stint as a Steak House being the most notable. Currently they have a pretty standard pub menu and it can be ok, but it can also fall very short of the mark. I have had probably the worst Nachos in the world there (how the hell can you arse up Nachos?) and some very good Snittys and Steak within the same fortnight! Go figure! The sports bar out the back is my favourite area, with a table tennis table, pool table, lounges and a couple of plasmas which make it a great spot to watch the Footer (A bit of a UK moment there).

When the lady who made the pudding retired and some tried to make it the same it was not even close so o stopped ordering it.

When I first discovered it while perfusing the internet I though that it's location on the inside bend of the Port River was actually a really good location - it seems that the owners thought that as well because it is actually a fairly classy pub. Mind you, you are looking across the river to the industrial part of Port Adelaide so the view actually isn't all that fantastic. Also, it is a bit further back from the river than I expected it to be, which means you have a pretty good view of some undeveloped land and a bunch of fishermen. Oh, a couple of the staff were pretty rude as well, and getting to this place, especially when you don't have a car, it a bit of nightmare. Still I do give it points for its location.

I've only visit this place a couple of times, one a number of years back when a group of my friends…read morewere looking for a pub that they basically had not been to previously, and once again over Christmas simply to check it out. This was one of those pubs that I would drive past on a regular basis but never actually stopped by for a drink until friends gave me the excuse. Obviously a lot has changed since then. Anyway, being in North Adelaide it is more classier than what I prefer in a pub, but it's still quite nice. The outdoor area on Wellington Square it pretty cool, especially since the traffic isn't heavy, and the park is just across the road. They also have a pretty decent selection of craft beers. It's a nice pub, just a little out of my way (though I do like the fact that it is quiet).

A typical "local" outer suburbs pub…read more But it's your grandpas local and him and all of his friends like to have a pot or two while trying their luck in the weekly meat raffle. I visited on a Friday night as part of a bridal party rehearsal dinner - the wedding was very close by the following day. We booked well in advance for a table of 15 and we really need not have bothered, the rest of the dining room had maybe 3 other occupied tables. Food was as you'd expect after taking a look around the empty dining room. My steak was over cooked and drowned in an overly sweet smoky bbq sauce even though sauce was requested on the side. This gets a 3 because the cover band playing in the front bar were actually pretty awesome and entertaining. Our group was by far the youngest clientele this local had seen in a long time, we had an oldie come up and ask us to pose in a photo with him that's how novel we were. Can't say I'll be back in a hurry.

In fact, I was wondering if the entire town had suddenly, all at once, decided to come down here for a meal. Maybe that I was case, I guess that is one of those mysteries that I will never solve.

The beer garden is especially nice, as is the view over the vineyards out the back.

I haven't been to this place a huge amount, and even then it was simply to check it out because I…read morehaven't been here all that much. Personally, it isn't really all that crash hot - just a typical pub that happens to be next to the beach. Okay, being next to the beach does give it a bit more character, especially since Grange tends to be a little less crowded that Henley Beach down the road. As for the pub there isn't all that much about that that stands out - there is a nice restaurant, a gaming room, a bottle shop, and a sports bar, and that is about it. I did stop by here when I was in Adelaide over Christmas, just to give it another shot, and in the end it really didn't stand out - there are much better offerings further down at Henley Beach.

The place was…read moreabsolutely pumping with couples, families and screaming babies and I don't know it's the floors or what but my gosh it's loud in there, I was straining to have a conversation! I had grilled garfish which was perfectly seasoned and fluffy, with lime aioli and a fresh salad: I was well impressed. My boyfriend's teriyaki chicken breast and duck shank with risotto and mushrooms was pretty darn good too but his duck was little dry. The service was very good considering they were flat out and it was Sunday lunch, the prices were a little high but you get the quality you're paying for. My daughter's banana sundae tasted exactly like one of those banana lollies you buy, instead of an actual banana: while for her this was dissapointing, I think there's a lot of people out there who would be pretty darn stoked with a banana lolly sundae.
