Some hotels and restaurants love to boast about their food and service quality. Some crave the critic’s rave review. At The Playford, we’d like to think that our fine attributes speak for themselves. But we don’t mind when our customers express their experiences in their own words.
“One of the best in Adelaide”
We enjoyed our evening at The Playford; it was perfect from beginning to end. Firstly, the restaurant’s atmosphere differs entirely from others here in Adelaide. The excellent staff are very professional. We were served quickly and offered special offers, and I got my menu with all gluten-free options. The food was perfect. I think I had the best oysters of my life at this place! Starters and mains were no less exciting. Every meal was decorated nicely with flowers, and my kangaroo fillet was perfectly cooked. Our waiter was very alert, and we never lacked water, wine, or anything else. Overall, there was nothing to complain about.
“Fine, elegant dining”
We were not keen on braving the drizzly evening as house guests, so we decided to try the hotel restaurant. With no booking on a busy Friday night, we were allowed to dine at 6.30 or 8 p.m. We opted for the early time and were immediately shown to our table. Water, menus, and specials were all explained very efficiently and faultlessly. Our young waitress was excellent. The menu is broad and showcases fresh local produce. Our choices did not disappoint.
For starters, I had a fresh, delicious green salad that was light and vibrant. My husband had the scallops and declared them perfect on a plate. Then, I had the pork belly entrée as my main course. It was absolute perfection—I could have licked the plate! My husband had the chef’s special, barramundi, which was again well cooked and beautifully served.
We shared steamed greens—yum! This is a fine dining restaurant of the highest standard. We are so pleased we tried it. I highly recommend you try it—you’ll be glad you did.
“Local, organic focus on food”
I love the focus on using the fantastic local produce that Adelaide has to offer. I have had breakfast here many times, and it is always great with plenty of choices for the healthy diner: organic nuts, seeds, kefir, coconut water, freshly squeezed juices, kale smoothies, and plenty of greens available. I love Asian greens, asparagus, and water chestnut dishes. Dinners, too, are well presented and prepared.
“Festival of Food”
This restaurant is first-class. We did the Festival of Food offer while staying in the city. The restaurant is the best choice we could have ever made on the list of restaurants. Not only was it inexpensive to use the Festival of Food offer, but it was also a beautiful-looking residence that you could dress up for and not feel overdressed. The excellent food allowed us to try elements we would never have eaten, like squid ink aioli, which was very delicious. I recommend this restaurant, and we will return even without the offer.
From our perspective at The Playford Adelaide, it’s great to hear that our food and service are enjoyed and appreciated. Why not come and dine with us and find out for yourself what’s got people talking?
