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.

A lovely venue to enjoy a gathering of friends for a lazy lunch while also enjoying the open air on the veranda. The waitress was very attentive, the menu was nothing to rave about although the serves were generous and reasonably priced.
The Strathmore is conveniently located across from Adelaide's city train terminal on North Tce and the tram that takes you to the city centre and through to Glenelg.

We love the Strathmore Verandah Dining and its our ‘go to’ for special occasions. It is especially inviting now that they have upgraded; we had a window table and it was lovely to be able to eat in comfort and watch the world go by. Both the seafood stone grill (my favourite) and lamb were excellent quality and generous servings. Drinks menu was extensive with quality choices.

We booked about 4 weeks in advance. Four people for a Saturday night. I requested and received a window table in the verandah restaurant. Perfect warm weather balmy evening. The windows and roof were open. The service (as has always been our experience) was excellent. The staters of bread and olives and onion rings were great. The main courses were all amazing. We all ordered various steaks and sauces. A few deserts were ordered- again all excellent. The menu prices are a little on the high side but the quality, the size of the meals, the service and the atmosphere makes the final bill fade in comparison to the content feeling afterwards. Highly recommend going

Well let me start by saying I loved this restaurant so tonight I took my wife there to celebrate our 39th anniversary. I got a table near the window which I had asked for, that was the best part of the night. I thought the meals were quite expensive seeing as how you had to purchase sides veg, salad etc. I had a 450 gram rib eye which came with 4 little potatoes and a green sauce $56 and 2 prawns at $14 so $70 plus sides both meat and prawns over cooked. My wife’s prawns were like superballs but her meat was ok. The restaurant was extremely noisy and we struggled to hear each other. The waitress was very apologetic and gave my wife a free drink,deducted the price of the prawns from her meal not mine and also got 10% of the bill. Total of the bill came to $160.90 after our discount. Very disappointed and dont think we will be going back.

8 of us headed to the Strathmore for a family celebration. On arrival we were told our table number and left to it ourselves. The table was set for 6 and so we informed the waitress - unfortunately she couldn't have been more disinterested and wandered off. We had to move the tables ourselves and when she returned, she rudely banged the table number down on the table and walked off. Manager was immediately called who apologized.
We then ordered our meals and the staff member on the cashpoint managed to miss off two sides, despite her asking us if we wanted them as starters or mains.
The food then came at random intervals, so much so that one member of the group had his food 20 minutes before the rest of the party and finished just as others food was arriving. Simple restaurant management should control that the food comes together for a large group.
Food itself from the kitchen was good just a shame that the service from the staff and management of tables was so poor.

Close to our accommodation and just outside city centre.
Had no booking. Had a toddler so eating early. Concierge gave us a table and was very helpful with meal and free ice cream for our toddler.
Menu had plenty to chose from. Up market pub menu. Price mid range.
I liked the decor - not pub like.

Ordered a burger and ceaear salad (the salad was made gluten free and a few other changes). The food came and the burger was okay but the ceaear was not made to order. The salad was sent back but poor customer service by staff who had to be prompted multiple times to get the correct salad which took another 20 minutes. Once the salad out they blamed their printer yet the correct food had been brought out just incorrectly. Won't be going back here.

Booked up a particular table 36 hours in advance and turned up 30minutes early to be told the table wasn’t ready so we had to wait which was fair enough except that we had to wait out in the cold and rain then when we went through at the correct time we found that the table had been rebooked by another staff member and we were the ones forced to move to a different table in a worse position. We were told that it was a staff members fault for the booking mix up and we’re given a free drink by the manager which they thought would satisfy everyone. The restaurant was rather cold because the door was left open all evening and we waited 25 minutes for the meal which wasn’t to bad considering how busy they were, to be honest the steak I had was cooked to perfection and my wife’s was medium rare instead of rare but both were a pleasure to eat.
The mix up with the table booking spoilt what was a special night for us and we will think long and hard about going back again.

Went for dinner upstairs on a Friday night, good happy hour prices and good service. Downstairs was frantic and just too noisy. Ordered 2 steaks at $50 each, and then had to pay for the sauces ($4), and the sides ($10), so total $64 each, with not as much as a dinner roll in sight. It is far from fine dining. Entrees all around $20 each. Online menu does not reflect current prices, and should be updated. Unlikely to eat there again, good food, good location,but overpriced, and not good value for money.

Ordered the falafel from their lunch special for $12.50. Three tiny pieces the size of a 50 cent piece arrived with poor excuse for "tabouli", chopped tomato and fried shallots. Falafels were so dry I couldn't eat them. Luckily I ordered a side of sweet potato fries! Other meals ordered at our table included salt and pepper squid which looked great. If you are going to offer something that is bought in please taste them first or don't offer them at all!

So slow and disorganised. From the ordering to the delivery of food the staff didn't seem to have clue what they were doing. Waited over an hour for food. Others who came in and ordered after us where served before us. We were a large (pre booked) group, one of our tables waited over 1 and a half hours to be served .
Food was fine but not hot, lukewarm at best.

I had last visited the Strathmore 9 years ago (and wrote a review at that time) and while visiting Adelaide wanted to show my wife what a stonegrill was, so we decided to have dinner one evening at the Strathmore as a walk up. Most tables were taken when we arrived and when they found out we didn't have a booking they weren't sure whether they could fit us in. Fortunately there were two seats left on a "bar" and they were able to accommodate us, but the lesson is to book to avoid possible disappointment.
For starters we had the trio of dips and for mains I had the 250g rump stonegrill and my wife had a 9" tandoori chicken pizza. The harissa hummus, middle eastern beetroot & sweet potato dips are a great starter and we were both very happy with our mains - the main advantage I see with a stonegrill is that your meat is cooked exactly the way you want it! The beef was excellent quality. When the staff delivered the dips they gave the option of having the mains delivered immediately or somewhat later, and we chose the latter.
Including softdrinks our meal came to $74, which we thought was good value.
We would both be very happy to return and would make sure next time we booked first!

Very nice place visually, the service is good, they have a nice selection of beverages and you can see the kitchen, wood fire oven and other items. The food itself wasn't bad but for the prices in the menu we were expecting a bit better quality. Overall not a bad place.

we had struggled to find somewhere for after work drinks but nothing was too much bother for these guys.
they sat us in a great location, even when more people turned up than expected.
drinks were very reasonably priced and the food came out quickly
