Mietta's Review
The dining room of a renovated pub houses this smart grill. It's a nice high ceilinged period room with lots of wood and pressed metal. This 'fine dining' room (as the hotel calls it) has a fancy modern Australian menu with some ambitious flavour combinations. Prices are very fair (in 06, mid $20s), the wine list is wanting and the service better than expected. Steak could be a good option.

Other published opinions

Adelaide Advertiser 8/3/06 Tony Love score 13.5/20 "Another rejuvenated hotel dining room with relatively formal ambience, though smart, friendly staff offer a comfortable experience through a decent char-grill and seafood menu."

Sunday Mail 29/5/05 "The room is instantly impressive - high ceilings, ornate cornices, thick architraves, dark wood and a pressed-metal feature running around rich cream walls. This old-fashioned grandeur is offset by the contemporary cool mix of downlights, large wooden tables edged with metal and topped with metal placemats, some bench seating as well as cushioned chairs and soft music floating through the air."
