The Standpipe Restaurant greets you with a lovely warm room and welcoming service. The staff are friendly and place you with care at your seat.
The menu had a great selection of food at a reasonable price. This is certainly more than your standard family eatery and on the night my wife and I attended, it seemed that all of Port Augusta agreed.
Unfortunately a combination of factors including a waiter under training and the sheer chaos of a very busy dinner service saw us not receive our meals for an hour and a half, which included us having to remind the staff of our order. The head waiter was very polite and apologetic when we informed him of this. The restaurant's response to this unfortunate situation revealed what their service can be when running smoothly.
The rest of the night was wonderful and I could not find fault. The food was excellent and my lamb was cooked to juicy perfection.
Despite the initial hiccough with our order, the restaurant came through in the end and showcased excellent service and customer management. read more
