The Henry Austin - Adelaide

Unreal. Really hard to explain WHY this place is so good, the concept is pretty quirky and you can't recommend any particular dish because the kitchen changes the menu practically every day. But if you don't mind a bit of adventure, and letting the chefs take the reigns, you're going to have an incredible time. If you're in Adelaide, just go and see for yourself. Guarantee it you'll have a fantastic night.

I think they've brought this place to life the right way, still paying homage to the history of the building. A new concept that hasn't been done in Modern Australian Dining. Food was top quality with fantastic flavours. The staff were friendly, confident and helpful, a good job all round. Max is a charming host and a perfect fit for this place I'd say. Was a privilege to get in for a sneak peek before the opening and you wouldn't think it wasn't polished. All the best for the grand opening!

I usually shy away from hipsters in the same way people run from scary clowns, and when my colleague suggested a visit to The Henry Austin, my first reaction was profuse sweating and an uncontrollable, nervous laugh. How wrong I was! The ambience of the restaurant is redolent of cosy tradition, and downstairs is their wine cellar and bar. The bar area seemed a little sparse and too minimalist for me, but perhaps a visit on a busy after-work evening will remedy this impression. We selected the banquet and was introduced an almost endless procession of tapas-style plates so delicious and interesting that it was entertainment in itself. Wine list was a surprise. I expected a whole bunch of expensive bottles, but was instead greeted by a thoughtful collection of reasonably priced wines. Their house wine is also certainly worth a glass or two. Maybe three if you're not driving. Go on, have a fourth. Service was impeccable. The owner bounces around with the enthusiasm of a puppy on its first walk in the sunshine. The star of the evening, however, remains our German waitress. Beautifully professional, her exquisite charms will remain with me for a long time. Ich bin verliebt.

Just had dinner here tonight and it was one of the best dining experience have ever had. Did the $65 menu which isn't a menu, more of a surprise for each dish and couldn't have been more happy with the creativity and flavours! Great service from everyone who served us and impressed with the SA gin range. Highly recommended

Came to play off the back of a friend's recommendation and we were not disappointed. Quirky place with quirky staff with a wacky way to order food fun and flavour. My only disappointment is the next time I come play the menu will be completely different and I won't get to eat everything I loved this visit!!! Can't wait to introduce this place to friends.
