350g rump steak
Ashleigh W.

I just visited The Little Hunter for a work dinner in a group of 7 and couldn't believe my boss had such good taste ;) from the location to the facade, the name and the PERFECT interior, I just LOVED it!!! The sky high stone walls are immensely impressive and the furnishings are on point. They have the combination of old and new just right and the impact of the atmosphere is ... energising. It felt lively but composed and if you are after a more casual feel, a little beer garden by the food truck (their kitchen) will be your corner. Now to the food... Brilliant! If I was a chip connoisseur I was judge the chips, best in Adelaide! The steak was lovely and a Pepperjack Shiraz was the perfect pairing :)

Ribs!

Love this place! If you like meat then this is the place for you. We have been here three times now and had exceptional service and meals every time. I am completely addicted to the ribs, but have had an amazing steak too! The meat is tender and well cooked. Meals are very large, so come hungry. The chairs are super comfy and make for a great decor. If you are lucky enough you might even score a booth!

I checked the label. I'll definitely look forward to having my own bottle of this Moscato. Lol

We came here in a group of 4. The atmosphere was really friendly and lively without being chaotic. We ordered a feast lol. I cant remember the exact names of the food so I'll just describe it. *cheesy bread - it's cheesy but kinda bland and oily for my taste * Fresh oyster- It has a fishy taste (it's expected since it's supposed to be raw *duh* lol) Just sprinkle it with vinegar/lemon and the fishy-ness will subside *Picadilly oysters (not really sure if it's called Picadilly haha)- It's oysters with bacon and Picadilly sauce (it tastes like bbq sauce). It was ok but I'm not really fond of bbq sauce so I prefer the fresh oyster. *Steak (I forgot what cut it is, I just keep eating what's in front of me lol) - We ordered medium rare steak. It's fleshy and juicy, the taste is good, and I think it's their specialty. *Moscato- This is my favorite!!! I love Moscato and I've tried cheap ones and I can tell that the one here in Little Hunter is goooood quality wine. First sip I was like "aaaaaaaah.... wonderful" hahahaha Customer service is really good. The staffs are friendly and accomodating. There's one guy who checks each table and ask how everyone's going. No wonder this place is often crowded, it's a friendly place. PS. However, just to be honest, the only thing I would only crave for in this place are the drinks, the steaks, and the friendly atmosphere. Taste wise, the cheesy bread is disappointing, the mashed potato siding is like the soggy bland type and I didnt find the Picadilly oyster appealing (but it's just me I guess). (Seriously I expected more considering the price range of the menus here) It was a nice experience, and I wont mind coming back. I would still recommend this place-- just make sure you go for the steaks and you'll definitely have a pleasant time. Now my rating here is 3.5 but because I like the steak and really enjoyed the wine --- I'll round it up to 4 instead of just giving a 3 star.

Rich creamy coconut & lemongrass Brûlée rated 10/10 by all three diners.

I had to give the Little Hunter 5 stars. I could not find one fault with their food, nor with their service, nor with anything for that matter! Tucked away in a little side street I'd have never ventured there had the place not been suggested, but boy was I glad I went. The food was absolutely superb! Flavoursome, tender, well cooked, a nice mix of flavours. The variety of choices was also there. The price is slightly on the high end (per dish say $22-$34, with $28 the average) but it was well worth it for the beautifully cooked, flavoured and well presented food. The chairs were also magnificently comfy velvet creations with wonderful decor inside the venue. On the walls were some funny quotes re food and drink, which gave patrons a giggle. I'd definitely go here again.

I met up here with a friend who had noticed it walking past one day. As of last night (24/04/14) they'd only been open a month and so hadn't done much advertising yet. This place is down Victoria Street out the back of the Woolshed (on Hindley St) and I think at one stage was actually the beer garden. I got there about 5:30 and had a chance to talk to Abbey behind the bar who filled me in on the setup. Anyway, to the restaurant itself... It's decorated in the Americana/Hogs Breath style of wood and galvanised iron, with a mixture of lounges, high stool tables and more conventional restaurant style seating. It's not silver service - you order your meals and drinks at the bar, but the food is really, really good and servings are quite large for a reasonable price. There is a good selection of beers on tap and from my brief glance looked like a reasonable wine list. I ordered the ribs and was served two large chargrilled beef ribs with a generous serve of vegetables and mash. The meat was tender, moist and very flavoursome, the chargrilling was crunchy but not burned and , unlike some other places, they didn't go overboard with a chiminchurry coating or anything like that - the meat was good enough on its own. My friend ordered a 350gm Scotch Fillet with chips and vegetables, and it was cooked perfectly according to his request (med-rare). We were in there early so the place wasn't packed, and we received enough attention from the staff while still being able to talk without being constantly interrupted. Summary: It's new, the food and ambience is good, the location is handy and the prices are reasonable. Give it a try while you can still get in.

Sherwaygu rump. Bland, undercooked and watery mash.
Felicity F.

Utterly average. I had such high hopes and was thoroughly disappointed by Little Hunter. I ordered the Sherwaygu rump ("a must for steak lovers" according to the menu) cooked Medium with mashed potato. It came out rare/medium-rare and none of the fat had been rendered. The meat itself tasted okay but wasn't anything special. The mash was bland and watery. Honestly, my husband makes much better steak and mash at home. The only saving grace is the fact that my husband enjoyed his lamb shank (although his mash was also really watery). Even the service was average. They never delivered our table water or our seeded mustard garlic bread. We also had to follow up on my husband's beer after they left it sitting on the bar for 10 minutes. Worst for us (but totally not an issue for most diners) was when we first arrived. I had booked for "two people plus a baby" and the host looked at us and then pointed at a high table with stools (not safe or practical for a baby capsule) and said unapologetically "we're fully booked and you didn't tell us there would be a baby". Now I understand that people make mistakes, but own up to it and apologise, don't try to blame me for your stuff up. The stools (or perhaps the floor) were uneven so we spent the night rocking side to side and trying to stay balanced. For a $100+ meal (just for mains) I expected a lot more. The decor was nice but everything else was really disappointing. Save yourself the hassle and just go to a pub!

Located in the heart of Adelaide directly across from the Adelaide casino, it is an fantastic place for a formal gathering with friends. The balcony is located above the Strathmore hotel. You pay a little bit extra for the atmosphere, such as a formal setting and a beautiful view of the adjacent casino and festival centre. The food... Amazing stone grilled dining isn't all you get at The Balcony, you awesome receive on point service by waiting staff who are more than happy to accommodate diners. The staffs also help you with the stone grilling process, and it is vital to listen to them unless you want an overcooked well-done steak (which is a sin). I ordered the seafood collection to stone grilled, and I must say is something else. The food was well garnished and the flavours were brought out on the stone slab. My friends ordered the steaks and managed to stuff up on the stone grilling (amateurs). Overall, absolutely fantastic food and services and is a great place to dine on any special occasion that wouldn't kill your wallet. Would definitely be back!

I have to say that despite all the rage on Yelp and other websites for gaucho, it was just okay. I…read moregot a 100 day age stake and it was pretty thin. It was cooked medium but there wasn't any flavor in it. They also didn't sear it very well so it really didn't taste that great. They oversalted it with sea salt crystals. The only redeeming thing was that the french fries came out super hot and extra crispy. I'd say the french fries were better than the steak. I don't think I'd come here again because it is pretty pricey for what you get and the steak. I could cook a better steak at home.

After having several people recommend this place to us during our Australian holiday, we decided to check it out. Since it was a Saturday we called ahead for a reservation-we were only calling about an hour ahead but were able to get a table outside. It had been 100 degrees (40 Celsius) for a couple of days so no one wanted the outside tables but luckily for us the weather changed and the temp was a mild 79 at dinner time. As others have said, this place is about meat so that's what we had. My wife and I split the porterhouse and while it was a bit under our requested medium temperature, it was a wonderfully flavored steak and just enough for the two of us. It is served cut off the bone and sliced which makes it very easy for sharing. We also shared a pear salad which surprisingly was served at the same time as the main dish (which, as we looked around seemed to be how it works). The two others in the group each had a filet (or as they put it "fillet" - pronounced " fill-it"). They actually have two different ones on the menu and the main differences are the size (in grams of course) and marbling (Scotch Fillet is the less lean, more marbled steak). The other thing American diners will notice is the size and shape-about an inch think and round like a small pancake. Nonetheless, these steaks were also quite tasty. You can order extra sauces for the steaks but we chose not to and we're happy with that choice. The dishes are served with roasted potatoes and they also have a decent wine list featuring several nice choices from the surrounding Wine regions. Recommended.

Wow, the E&C is a blast from the past. On busy West Terrace and suffering from an awful 1970's…read morecream brick makeover, it was nonetheless a favourite of diners in the 1980's and 1990's, when you had to book to get a table. Fast forward 30 years and its a little quieter, but menu is much the same and the decor is almost back in vogue again! That might sound like a criticism but in fact that is the E&C's strength - no nonsense steaks, schnitzels, seafood, a good salad bar, and a reasonable wine list, not to mention bar prices for drinks. We ate on a Friday lunchtime and from list of rump, sirloin, t-bone, porterhouse, rib-eye and eye-fillet steak, we ordered the Filet Mignon (yep another blast from the past - that's fillet steak wrapped in bacon). It came cooked to order and was a 300gm portion that was 3cm thick and full of flavour. Coupled with the hot vegetables or salad bar and a bottle of Mitchell Peppertree Shiraz, it was a simple but enjoyable meal. You order at the counter and service was attentive and friendly. If you are wanting a steak fix, definitely a low key alternative to the more trendy, and expensive steak houses in town.

The Bistro is much more upmarket, but the prices are expensive if you are looking for a standard meal, but the steak menu here are fantastic. If you need some extra luck, there are loads of elephant statues here, and they all have their trunks up. It's all about the vibe.

It is so refreshing. If you're not looking hard enough you would easily miss it. Walk in and it's like the prohibition era, from the grungy shelves to the dark, moody decor and booths to the sad music. It is easily one of the best themed cocktail bars in Adelaide. Drinks are fantastic. Some bars have expensive drinks for not much and they don't taste great. Not at Baddog, they are top notch and the barman does it right in front of you on the bar so you don't miss a thing. Brilliant. Best find of the year for me so far.

The waist coats, crystal glasses and twisted stainless steel and silver spoons all work to make this a top spot for a cocktail or cheeky beer. A maestro of the common and rare cocktails and a range of spirits you wont find in many bars Zack makes this bar. Sitting at the bar is mandatory for the first drink in my opinion then sneak off to the lux booths for quiet and intimate drinks. Its dark, has very cool décor and edgy clean bathrooms. Bad Dog Bar doesn't have tvs, doesn't have pokies and doesn't have tap beer and for goodness sakes never order an apple-tini :) and that's the way we like it. Top Tip: order the pickleback - rye bourbon shot followed by some freshly made pickle juice. The SMoking Joint cocktail is also a fav!
