Mt. Lofty House - CRAFERS

To clarify this 'restaurant' is only open for breakfast for hotel guests from what I was told.Such a pity for the hotel as it has the space for a middle of the road restaurant but only has a 5 star restaurant and I didn't like the sound of the menu or the price to be honest.It has lovely views and decidedly average service standards. be warned the continental breakfast is 26 AUD and the full is 40 AUD but what I can't believe is that a hotel that is trying to pitch itself as high class only gives you **** plunger coffee. If you want expresso its another 5AUD. Also ask to plunge your own coffee or they will and its very weak. Food well displayed and an adequate range for a basic brekkie

We were shouted weekend breakfast here recently. We had a really lovely time with our generous friends, but were surprised & disappointed by the service. It was poor. The food was reasonable but not particularly good and certainly not special. For a major tourist venue, we would have liked both to be at least good & preferably excellent. Our friends were staying in the hotel & were philosophical as they liked the surroundings & had adjusted to the indifferent service, a feature since they arrived. They noted that the staff addressed them by their first names immediately, without asking permission, and wondered if that was connected. Mt Lofty House is a landmark Adelaide Hills venue & those in charge are letting it down.

Despite previous reviews I can only comment on the experience we had as which was not good. Going to Mt Lofty House one expects good service, knowledgable staff, a flexible dining menu, clean public areas, a degree of organisation. Staggered at the bad standard management obviously seems is acceptable. All we did was go for dinner which turned out to be a farce. Going to different entrances, conflicting directions by staff, waiting over an hour for menus, drink selection not available, really limited menu options with no flexibility from the kitchen, coffee which never arrived, filthy bathrooms, dead flies everywhere. Supposed to be a new restaurant? The old one was much better, the new one is a dud. We won't be back.

Amazing morning views but the continental breakfast was a bit disappointing due to lack of variety. The food was good though.

My Husband and I had our wedding reception in the Piccadilly Restaurant and the food and service is truly amazing. Many of my guests loved the food and every plate was almost licked clean. The food, wine and service is fantastic!
