Malt Shovel Taphouse Adelaide

"Directly underneath Festival theater, Malt Shovel is a great place to go before a production. Good choice of food, I advised Waiter that I am allergic to rosemary & he made sure with chef that what I ordered didn't have any. Also the recommendation of wine paired with my steak was amazing. I'm from Melbourne and loved everything from location to food to waiter assistance. Perfect night."

"Reservation didn't mean anything - the trick about *taking* a reservation, is to *hold* the reservation. Not to allow a group to walk in without-reservation to get your table and the staff needing to drag chairs towards a table next to the drafty table away from everyone else. Crackling pork had zero crackling. Extremely chewy like chewing on leather. Cannot recommend."

"The food would have got a five star rating IF the roasted half chicken was hot, it was just warm, but was tasty. Chips are 10/10. The deep fried mushrooms were the meal of our visit. Spectacular. The chicken burger was exceptional as well. We had one in our group with special needs for food and the waiter quickly write things down, so we didn’t expect the best. Her meal arrived exactly how she ordered it with all of the special requests. Well done. The only downside was the parking. It required a NASA degree of navigation and know how, only we were from Sydney, so the know how was not there. So we called the restaurant to ask how and where to park and the person who answered the phone was also extremely cryptic in where to park. In total, we probably spent nearly 30 minutes driving in and out of massive underground car parks to still find ourselves in the lobby of the Adelaide convention centre. Then it took directions from the usher to find a walkway around to this place. There in NO street parking or easy access. That is the major issue here. All in all food was terrific, service was great, accessibly was atrocious."

"Popped in for a coffee but no milk so it was a vr for me. I was blown away by the kindness of the staff who conducted an Easter egg hunt for my son and enlisted him in delivering plates and condiments. He essentially had is first job! Paid in chocolate lol Not only is this a great place to come with children on a quiet afternoon but I'll wager it's an amazing place to work too. Such kind staff is an indication that they are treated well by their manager, they enjoy their job and I'll bet the turnover is low."

"Had our 2022 NYE here, great food, from seafood,roast meat to dessert, everything was so beautiful. Unlimited drinks for 5 hours and live music at such a premium location. Worth every dollar we spent. A big thank you to all the staff working that night, especially those bartenders, they were flat out that night. Highly recommend!"
