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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Beautiful spot, staff were great, food is pricey and not for everyone, kids meals were wonderful though, there was an unexpected birthday cake though, even though we paid for 25 meals they still wanted $5 a head just to eat it there lol..I think for...a couple or a small group it would be great..just don't bring out a cake 😉More

Beautiful modern Australian food - desert menu is amazing and each dish delicious and large serves - excellent personal service from a family owned restaurant in a lovely venue. Worth the trip up to the beautiful Adelaide hills to dine at Locavore.

The food was fresh and delicious as always with much care taken to accomodate a special requirement. Please never remove the squid starter from the menu. The service is always friendly and personal with the husband and wife team, along with always welcoming staff, ensuring...everything is perfect. Great wine selection too!! We are regulars and will continue to be!! In fact our wonderful experiences at Locavore helped us make the decision to move from Sydney to the Adelaide Hills!More

Without a doubt the best local Hills restaurant. ( we are local and have shopped around!) The menu is varied and the cooking excellent. Service is quick, polite and caring. What we particularly appreciate is that one can linger , enjoying a meal without being...drowned out by music or overly noisy guests.More

Warmly welcomed by Maître D and a nice fire. Arancini balls with truffled mayo was a tasty starter. Local wines by the glass. Mains were Squid Salad and baked Gnocchi and Chicken. Needed the recipe. Very personable chef shared the ingredients. Topped off with a...great local dessert wine. Will certainly call back if I get an opportunityMore

Laid up at home with Covid. So friend dashed off to Locavore and returned with piping hot, freshly made, sautéed chicken liver treat, plus a cob of sour-dough bread to soak up the superb sauce and juices. Absolutely superb - I could put up with...Covid every day with this sort of treatment. Thank you Locavore and friend!More

Thoughtful menu, impressively crafted. We hadn't been up here for many years. Now there's a new owner chef. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, our table scoffed pork belly, barramundi and the burger. All yummo. We just had to have the tiramisu and roulade to share....Sipping on local wines ... what more could you ask for? We will return.More
