Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Angler had been on my Adelaide Hills to try list for some time. We were hungry at 3pm and Angler conveniently stays open all afternoon so we stopped in. As expected fantastic seafood. We had great service. They have a small wine list that should...suit most people. Definitely try the snapper cheeseburger!More

We’d been told the ‘Trust the Chef’ degustation was excellent so we gave it a try. We were blown away. We’ve had degustations in high end restaurants so to find such quality in this unassuming little place was a delightful surprise. From the starter of...ceviche on some kind of fish cracker, warm smoked olives, pickled mussels and candied nuts, to the fresh oysters ( best I’ve ever tasted), prawns in a creamy polenta, crayfish in Jerusalem artichoke broth, snapper? sashimi with finger lime, flathead? in a bisque so good I had to restrain myself from licking the plate, to the nannygai with a perfect xo sauce ( I could eat it on its own by the spoonful), everything was perfect. Usually there are one or two things in a degustation that are a bit meh… not here. And the dessert… omg! It was a quenelle of icecream on some kind of milk caramel? with candied crunchy fish scales, which sounds disgusting but it was the perfect balance of sweet and a bit salty like the very best salted caramel. The scales were light and crispy and delicious My husband, who after two attempts has refused to eat mussels in the four decades we’ve been together, tentatively tried one and polished off the lot. I gather the chef has interned with Heston Blumenthal so maybe that’s why there is such a perfect balance of surprising flavours and sweet and salty, or perhaps it’s the chef, but the end result was the best degustation we’ve had anywhere. That everything was not only fresh but also sustainable made it even better. Highly recommended.More

We ate here, invited as part of a group for a milestone birthday, with ethical food-conscious people. The restaurant is a long banquette style seating and table in this upmarket sustainable fancy 'fish and chip shop'. Decided to trust the chef to feed us and...we weren't disappointed. Among the standout dishes was beautifully sliced Sashimi, a fish wing with a delicious house-made XO sauce, and a European carp which most had not eaten before but fried and flavoured we all vowed to eat more of this pest species of the Murray. Hand cut chips were great and the waiting staff, while inexperienced, were friendly and accommodating to our questions and requests. The wine list is one of the best I've seen in terms of Adelaide Hill wines, short but sharp with something for most tastes. We would have liked to be told that we needed to order sides of vegetables but when ordered they arrived promptly and were cooked just right. A lovely evening, with everyone happy. We should have stayed for dessert...and we will returnMore

Dropped in for fish n chips for lunch, having read about Angler many times. It is a ‘cute’ little place that you wouldn’t necessarily expect to be there. We only wanted something quick so this is not a review of their dine-in menu/seating area, just...the takeaway which you can eat in their front window seating area. They had a choice of barramundi or Australian salmon that day and the barramundi was juicy and perfectly sized. Whilst we prefer crumbed fish, the panko crumbing was just bordering on too thick. I don’t think it’s fish and chips you would want ‘regularly’ as there is an element of sweetness to the seasoning of the hand cut chips in particular that starts to become too much. It has a bit of a decadent taste that really gets you interested in the first few bites, but does end up a bit overpowering. As far as the experience goes - welcoming, energetic and efficient - full marks for that!!!More

I had seen an article about Angler that was very complimentary but didn’t follow it up until a trusted friend recommended it. Dropped in unannounced on a Saturday evening and we managed to grab a couple of the few seats inside this fishy gem hidden...in Stirling. With a view of the park on the other side of the road we ordered fish and chips with sides of salad and carrots. We didn’t really need the excellent sides, as the whiting and barramundi mains were ample. The best (hand cut) chips and fabulous fish means we will be returning soon.More

Had read a good review about this place and was keen to try it. While perusing the menu a man came to return the takeaway which was not his order. They found his order and then handed that takeaway food to the original patron. Our...chips were covered in some horrible BBQ salt - we were not asked if we wanted BBQ salt. The bbq'd squid I had was so tough I could not eat half of it. The fish was lovely.More

Went with high expectations. Left bitterly disappointed. The prawn roll was essentially inedible. It was prawn sausage with not that much meat. At $22 it was a rip-off. The crumbed barramundi was fine, the chips excellent. ...but again, at $20, overpriced. The chef was also...somewhat dominating and bordering abusive to other staff. We will not return.More

Visited this spot on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. Venue was clean, open planned and staff friendly - going about their business, filleting fresh fish. Menu enticed us in, not your ordinary, run of the mill fish and chip shop. Everything on the...menu looked great but couldn’t go past the prawn hotdog with a side of chips. After I ordered another patron had their fish and chips ready to go - needless to say I had food envy. Having said that, I wasn’t disappointed with my choice - I just think anything on this menu would be good. The prawn hotdog was just as it sounds, a prawn flavoured hotdog, with a what seemed to be a fresh brioche bun, some crunch with the greens and what was called ‘angler sauce’ - was seriously tasty. The chips, well I can’t say they are the best but they are close - you need to taste the chips. Chips sometimes are an afterthought but generally, the last thing you eat are the chips - they’ve nailed them and it left me very satisfied. It’s not cheap but not over the top either - great value for the quality you get.More

Walking down the Main Street looking for a place to eat came across Angler Stirling. The restaurant looked very clean and they were advertising scallop pies. We went in and met the staff they were very friendly and very informative about there menu. We had...barramundi and chips and it was excellent and the price very good. We highly recommend this restaurant. If we ever go that way again we would stop and have something else on there menu.More
