This rating is for dinner, but the same restaurant is highly regraded for breakfast/brunch. It has a pleasant older style charm and the staff were very courteous. There were some interesting meal choices, emphasizing local produce, but perhaps the menu was a little limited. The food was nicely cooked and presented, but a little pedestrian. However would go back next time I stayed in the hotel.

We had dinner here and really enjoyed our meals. The staff were friendly professional and helpful. The atmosphere was good as is the lounge bar for a nightcap. Recommended.

At a conference for the day and staying at a hotel up the road but was tempted to pop in for a drink. Glad I did. Lovely place, great staff. Went back their the next night with colleagues.

I do expect a hotel of this standing to have an excellent breakfast and The Playford certainly delivers on this score. I don't usually expect a hotel to have such a good restaurant for dinner.

Coming from Melbourne I was trying to think of a single Melbourne Hotel where you would seek out the restaurant at dinner time. (except for the Crown Complex) I came up empty.

Here at the Playford though the restaurant is justifiably rated as one of the best in Adelaide city. Not bad going in a city as 'foodie' as this one.

We enjoyed the festival of food menu here and were glad that we did. The weather in Adelaide was freezing when we were there so it is certainly nice to be able to enjoy that standard of food before hopping in the lift back to your warm room.

A group of us were staying nearby but decided to meet each morning for breakfast at the Playford. Best decision we ever made.
The Breakfast buffet was extensive, the food fresh and regularly resupplied.
Specialities such as Eggs Benedict omelettes were available on order and served at the table.
