1918 Bistro & Grill

A lovely Barossa stone, historical cottage with pressed metal ceilings, lead light glass, timber and plaster archways, with timber floors, and all the rooms opened up to each other, but with enough walls left to make more intimate dining areas. In winter there are three fireplaces lit with roaring fires, while in summer, on a balmy Barossa evening, you may choose the vine-covered verandah area, overlooking lawn and gardens. From a selective menu of predominately fresh local produce, our mains were, Szechwan peppered kangaroo fillet, the char grilled Coorong Angus scotch fillet, with roasted parsnips, garlic aioli and grilled Scultz's bacon, mouth watering. Our accompanying wines were, a 2012 Tom Foolery "Trouble & Strife" Rose, and 2011 Tom Foolery "Son of a Gun" Cabernet/Shiraz, excellent choice.The service was prompt, friendly and helpful, contributing to an outstanding evening. .

We arrived at the Reataurant with no prior booking and were lucky enough to get a table under the shady trees and surrounded with many fragrant shrubs. I notice the Wisteria had just finished flowering , so another time. The garfish that we had was done in a very light crisp batter and had a great combination of greens including Fennel, and was first class. Staff were friendly and efficient. We will be back again.  30/10/2012

Excellent service while seated on the verandah under the flowering wisteria on a warm spring day. The mains: pork chop and lamb cutlets were beautifully cooked and served. The accompanying green leaf salad was elegantly presented and lightly dressed. Good sized portions and value for money at this standard of cuisine and presentation. Highly recommended. Delightful find in the heart of Tanunda.  29/09/2011

The cocktail party on Thursday was a fantastic evening, and asking people to donate to the cancer foundation is just a brilliant idea. The food on the evening- well I didn’t see much of it but what I had was from good to excellent. The scallops absolutely a smasher, the fried pork belly was dry and the sauce was not a winner for me. But those king prawns absolutely a winner. The oysters weren’t not to my liking- they were warm and the lemon was missing. Overall I had a fantastic night. Thank you for the invitation. Kind regards and love to your family and staff. Reto  08/08/2011
