Walking into Half Acre, as you turn into the glasshouse dining room, you get hit with the wonderful smell and heat of the grill and woodfired oven. The place feels cosy and welcoming. Unsurprisingly, during the day the dining area is full of natural light and the ambiance throughout is wounderful.
The favourite dishes of our group were the grilled cabbage and cauliflower. The chicken was amazingly tender and succulent as well.
The barramundi came with a fantastic herbed salsa which was also a stand out.
At times drinks were a little slow to arrive at the table (we ate our steak without the red we ordered to have with it) however the service was generally excellent.
The hanger steak was a little small which didnt bother us, as we had ordered too much, but I can imagine its dimensions may disappoint hungry diners. The pizza was good but unremarkable (Id suggest ordering something more fun).
Wine tip would be the Two Hands Barossa GSM – medium bodied with fruity flavours that hang around on the palate.
For an early dinner the place was quiet but became busy by the time we left. Given the quality of the food I dont think this will last long so Id suggest booking ahead, there is however a fantastic courtyard bar that would make any wait for a table enjoyable.
A fantastic dining experience. Id come back.
I was looking forward to checking this new place out. First the location is very industrial but theres the 109 tram is approx 200 m away.
Positive: Great decoration. Good use of natural lighting. Reasonable/good value wine list.
Service: poor. Friday (late) lunch at approx 2pm. Only 4 tables and 4-5 wait staff. It took them 15min to bring us some water and a bottle of Mot.
Food: good use of seasonal veg and seafood. Favours were nice but too simple. The cabbage was a great dish but its cabbage!
Overall Im glad I gave this new restaurant a try. Due to the inconvenience location, poor service and food that I can cook at home…
