One of the best restaurants in Adelaide. Tried to book Lenzerheide but was full for Saturday. Had a lovely meal albeit small servings. Top quality food, service & ambience in a historic old building. Not overly expensive for the memories. Degustation 6 courses is $115 Most expensive single item is the beef @ $44. Wine selected by manager to pair... More

Went there for the first time a few months ago and thoroughly enjoyed the food, wine and service. It was during winter and was very pleased to see the open fire places being used. Very knowledgeable staff. More

Our night at the Manse was wonderful. We had the degustation and every dish was an absolute piece of art...taste, texture, presentation, combinations etc. My husband is a retired chef and so it is a big call to say it was the best meal we've ever had! The waiters were a little inexperienced for such a fine restaurant but the... More

Dish after dish, although very pretty, were just tasteless. It was aerated this and that. Meals were introduced with flowery explanations. I begrudge having paid so exorbitantly for an extremely ordinary and pretentious meal. Don't bother complaining, you will simply be patronised. More

Four of us went for dinner on a cool Friday summer night. Immediate impressions were excellent due to the beautiful setting of the grounds leading to the restaurant as well as the interior decor of well adorned colonial style rooms with high ceilings. We had brought several bottles of expensive wine from my friend's cellar. The waiter serving our table... More

Over the years we had been to the Manse for special occasions and were looking forward to a special night for a special birthday. Things did not start well when we asked for both food and wine menus so as to coordinate food with wine, but waitress decided we weren't allowed to do that and said she'd just start us... More
