Went with a relatively large group of 12 for Friday lunch. As requested we faxed our order through in advance. At 9:30 the group leader got a very rude phone call demanding our order (despite the website saying by 10:30am was fine. We arrived on time and were yelled at to 'pay here now'. One member of our group was... More

There is a bar/pub and a restaurant section to the facility. I preferred the restaurant and enjoyed a good (but almost too big) Wagyu burger, nicely cooked and topped with an interesting slaw, with a good local brew (though they feature an extensive wine selection). Fries just average. More

The C&S is an institution in Adelaide. They offer an extensive range of spirits with staff who have excellent product and drink knowledge! The food is also good, the menu lists some pub classics and some interesting original dishes. We tried the Wagyu Burger....delicious! Make sure you check out the local artwork on display. More

This Bar is fantastic with extremely helpful staff We headed in for lunch and enjoyed some great food. My friend had the best Ceasar Salad in his life and everyone commented on the quality of the food over a quiet beer. After a small lull late afternoon the bar came to life full of people and music and the cocktails... More

Decided to try the C&S on a cold Monday night - it was so quiet, we were the only diners there! The dining room is comfortable and cosy with colourful original artworks adorning the walls that were available for purchase. Nice touch. Lured in by the extensive cocktail menu, I ordered a mai tai - big mistake! Served in the... More

We popped into the Sceptre on a Sunday arvo for a nice pub meal and some drinks. Thanks to the wonderful weather we sat outside to lap up some sunshine. Food definitely delivered - they've got all the pub classics, but also some other really nice menu items to change it up a bit. The wine list is extensive and... More

Had a beef snitzel in there with mushroom sauce and fries, a simple dish, and wonderfully cooked. Breadcrumbs crispy and brown and meat still tender and moist. Sauce nicely judged, not too rich or bland. Salad is rubbish though, just shredded lettuce in a bowl with dressing and a few carrot shreds. Went back another night and service was a... More

Busy Friday night and we just showed up with no reservation. Fortunately the lone service staff did a brilliant job of seating us without much fuss. We had schnitzel and the house burger. The chips were crisp, the rest pretty standard fare. If you like a place with a buzz, this might be it. More
