Dont do the tasting menu. Not one dish was noteworthy. Yoghurt sorbet with bay leaf oil for dessert. Seriously! Maybe other individual dishes are nice but for a $400 plus dinner for four tonight we expected something decent but it was a flop.
Always a good atmosphere and feel. Service was great. Food was good but maybe not as amazing as we thought it might be. We were just on veg and fish dishes only. The Brussel sprouts dish is awesome.
Excellent lunch at The Pot, wait staff were friendly , professional & informative. The food was exceptional, started with Fried Pork Bun, not what I expected but very tasty. Lamb Shoulder for main was tender & combined with grapes & Cayenne sauce an interesting combination with sweetness & bite. Bread & Butter pudding to finish & I was content & full. Highly recommend, I will be back soon.
My partner and I are pursuers of food pleasure. We enjoy travelling the world and trying new restaurants and were introduced to The Pot last night. We simply were in a world of culinary rapture and recommend them highly! Our waiter was great. Praham I think his name is. So helpful with guiding us through the menu – both wine and food. We started with the light Aperol spritz, followed by the Skillogalee Shiraz which were good choices. A complimentary baby turnip with a myriad of different flavours had us hooked at first bite. We knew were in for something special. On to the starters – we shared the pork and cabbage roll and the Port Lincoln sardines. The Chuck Steak burger and the pulled lamb dish with grapes were divine. Crunchy potatoes and a delicious side salad completed our meal. No room left for dessert but we were thrilled by this meal. Taste sensation. Even this morning over breakfast we were still raving on! 5 stars. Welcome to Adelaide!
Never before has a restaurant actually caused me to cry through sheer disgracefulness.Genuinely one of the worst meals I’ve ever eaten. Don’t get me wrong — I don’t always have the highest standards when I’m starving and at 9:30pm on a Sunday night we ate it regardless (the Foodworks opposite us was closed). But with the $200+ bill considered, we feel robbed. It was a total joke.Our server seemed flustered and told us she was embarrassed because she couldn’t find the bottle of wine we ordered. We ordered another; she couldn’t find that either (there were excuses: the list changed last night, the manager isn’t in today etc). When we opted to go by the glass, she couldn’t tell us anything about the wines on the list. She came by a the end of the night to tell us she’d found the original wine we wanted (it was there all along, she just got the name wrong). Probably didn’t need to know that, but nevertheless.The food is where things get really dire. As a writer, it is rare that I’m lost for words. I’ll soldier on regardless. Disconnected flavours, poor cooking techniques (tough meat, split mash potato, soggy thick slabs of sashimi, catfood-like pulled pork buns etc), sub-par produce (the cut of lamb we were served was largely sinew and fat)…it was just absurd. We were unsure of whether to laugh or cry; tried both but neither helped the situation.The kicker was the steak dish. Nudging towards $40, diners who select this option will be rewarded with two wafers of beef (lucky to weigh in at 100g, even), a fat chunk of brown iceberg lettuce covered in supermarket mayo and a quenelle of mash potato; the fat separated from the starch due to lack of emulsification.Staff apologised profusely and admitted to the horror. Charged us fully regardless. We leave traumatised and vowing to never eat in another Adelaide restaurant.
Best $65 i spent on a tasting menu….fresh flavours and textures. Good ambience and very attentive wait staff…. oh btw, the chocolate gelato was amazing!!!
Great dinner place for some asian inspired dishes. Friendly service. Memorable dishes of the night was the goat curry croquette which had one of the best curry i have eaten. Perfect amount of spice and filling. Another dish was the singapore chilli crab papardelle. Handmade pasta which was done well and crispy fried soft shell crab . Definitely one of the better crab pasta dishes and comparable to Press blue swimmer crab papardelle. If you like the press version , you will like this one too. Pork belly was excellent . We ordered 3 out of the 4 desserts and the best is definitely the passionfruits souffle with chantily cream. Could easily eat the cream on its own. The peanut butter parfait was a standout as well.
