This is truly a magnificent world class restaurant. The food is exquisite and the wine list unbelievably good. I never thought I would find such a stunning restaurant in country South Australia. But then again it is the Barossa Valley.

This is a slightly different review as I never actually got to dine at Appellation which i was keen to do for my wife's birthday. We travelled from overseas to Australia and tried to book this restaurant 10 days in advance. I was told that I was on a waiting list and would be called back the following day -... More

Went to appelation for our one year anniversary, had the chefs 5 course tasting menu with wine ($145). Each course was delicious, the steak was the standout, cooked rare with a tarragon emulsion... Yum! Wine matches were very good. Got a special little anniversary plate to finish complete with almond macaroons. It was a very special night.

I'm a massive foodie but this was without doubt the BEST meal I've ever eaten! We did degustation and every mouthful was exquisite. Expensive but worth every penny. Great service as well. Can't wait to go back.

Went for a dinner one night whilst staying in the Barossa. We arrived late and did not have time for drinks on the back patio, although from what we’ve seen, it must be a special experience, in particular at the sunset. There was this party of four that arrived an hour early, just for that reason. The menu is interesting... More

We had a sensational tasting experience with their degustation menu with matched wines. It show cased the best of the Barossa. Service was also good and highly professional yet still friendly. I suggest starting with an aperitif on the back patio as the sun is going down. It was truly magical.

We dined here for my birthday and it was our first time to experience a degustation menu. The wines were matched perfectly to each course. The food was amazing, the wine matching was perfect, the staff were very attentive and service just perfect, our pre dinner drinks in the bar were great, the sommelier is a lovely guy who is... More

The food was a great disappointment. The flavors were not matched correctly as the fish was covered in a cloyingly sweet sauce not in keeping with the delicate white fish. The amuse Bouche was a non starter and desert was very pedestrian. This meal was a big let down. They must be resting on past laurels.

The night we were here, the meals were magnificent. The meals (we selected) accompanied each other very well, and the transitional servings were perfect. The service was excellent. The staff were always attentive, but not domineering out attention. The wine selection is very good. I called the staff the next day to get extra information about a particular wine and... More
