Comments of Press* Food & Wine
L.
Definitely a must eat place in Adelaide. Service is excellent and food were top notch. Oysters were so fresh and tasty; definitely try their beef dish, any of it! Roast chicken was so juicy and well marinated with generous serving. Staff always attended your water and drinks, ensuring everything was fine. Would definitely come back!
K. P.
Both the food and service was faultless for our luncheon tasting menu. The food was so fresh, and the flavours beautifully balanced. The waitstaff were both friendly and professional. We could not believe the quality and quantity for the price. A must!
T. S.
This could have been a 5 star, but subtracting 1 for the too familiar wait staff. Maybe this is a thing in SA, but it was too much chatting for me.
Food was great and so was the decor. Wine list could be improved.
C. J.
Spectacular atmosphere and delicious mouth watering food and dessert as seen in photo. Great music and wine and amazing waiter who catered to our every need. Really loved it here.
M. J.
Very cozy and warm romantic ambiance. Entrees were fantastic. But they screwed up our order for mains and we waited 45minutes after our entrees to be served, whilst tables around us were already being served their desserts. Minus 1 star for that as we wouldn't have expected this kind of service for the price paid. Only an apology was given. The meats for the mains were too chewy and sauce pairing was also not great. Seafood was overdone. And beef was gammy. Pork had a very chewy skin instead of crispy. Dessert was alright.
B. M.
Still amazing after the renovation. Some of the best food in Adelaide. The pork ribs are to die for.
B. K.
Wow, what a place! So much to offer in terms of decor, food, wine, vibe and service, this place is a must do when in Adelaide. Make yourself comfortable, order the feed me or go a la carts, you won’t be steered wrong. Lots of wines to choose from as well, so definitely something for everyone with many different budgets. Highly recommended, can’t wait to come back!
A. C.
Sensational food. The local oysters with vinaigrette were fantastic. Aged Angas sirloin was tender. Loved the warehouse style building and atmosphere
G. S.
We had the Tasting Menu.
WOW!!!!
Every meal was selected to perfection.
Very full at the end, but didn’t want it to stop.
Great atmosphere and once again, the Staff was incredible (thanks Hannah & Eloise).
D. M.
For the level of quality across food and service, this restaurant is very decently priced. Attentive waiter who made fantastic recommendations and made sure our bread never ran out. The food was sensational, we may have over loaded on beef but we still cleaned the plates. Incredible atmosphere like some loft restaurant out of Soho.
C. R.
Beautiful restaurant, a lot of attention to detail has been done with the recent renovations. Food was superb! Beautifully presented and seasonal too. Can’t wait to come back.
M. C.
Chefs selection had a nice variety of dishes but not all were amazing. Thought having only one sweets selection was poor also, considering it was a rich chocolate tart which is not everyone's choice. I know their dishes change and multiple dishes for all courses. Presentation made dishes look far better than taste. Meat was very fatty actually. Think this is very overpriced for quality received.
K. L. K.
Lovely vibe and friendly staff. We actually much prefer the entrees and dessert to the mains. The steak was on the tougher side.
D. M.
Great experience and great atmosphere. Food was amazing and staff were super friendly and happy to talk to us. Great selection of beers and wine.
Will happily return!
M. H.
Great looking place, staff very friendly and attentive, the food was amazing, little noisy once full of people, overall great experience. But I would point out few things that made us little disappointed. We noticed when staff was cutting bread for the table that they all were touching it with bare hands and then touching everything else. With what's going on at this moment you would think they would use napkin and tongs. And when I asked if the main can be done as started i was told yes but then charged for main. So little disappointed with that.
P.
I had a great time at Press*, the “feed me” menu item for $85 per person is great value for money. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is cosy. I highly recommend visiting.
E. P.
Food and service were a delight! ☺️ Visiting from QLD and will be coming here again.
J. A.
First post Covid meal and was it worth it. Amazing! Press* never fails to please my taste buds. Customer service is so welcoming; staff are friendly and the atmosphere is fine dining but relaxed. Can’t remember what all these dishes were but it was the from the tasting menu they had.
N. F.
I came to Press* hoping to be amazed, based on the reviews I'd read, but unfortunately I wasn't. The interior is quite nice with shared tables, and the staff are very attentive and well versed in food options for diners with certain dietary requirements. The drinks menu is good, with some unique alcoholic-free options. The food ordered was nice, but in general was not standout in taste. We waited a very long time to get our mains - they came out about an hour after we entered the restaurant which felt like too long. It appeared it was due to some delays with the fish of the day ordered. Because of this, not all in our group received the mains at the same time, although there was only about 5 minutes difference in this.
J. h.
Great food and service. Highly recommend this place. Staff are great as well.
W. N.
Huge drinks list, great atmosphere and good service. The sirloin steak was particularly good as a main as was the pork bun entree. Downstairs has some communal seating with long stables and stools, whereas upstairs has more intimate tables and booths. 6-6.30pm bookings with less than 3 people are subject to a 2hr dining timeframe so we booked 8pm and enjoyed a slower paced meal!
Z. T.
Good atmosphere. Polite staff with sense of humour. Steak was alright, nothing too crazy just a good old steak, moist and juicy without being overpowered by any seasoning. Chips were decent. Overall a good experience, but not absolutely blown away or anything, would still recommend. Came in a group of 8 and nobody was raving particularly about their food but finished it pretty fast.
At 36 dollars for a steak, not too expensive but not too cheap either. As you might tell from this review my general opinion is everything was decent.
P. S.
Interesting restaurant with very helpful and knowledgable staff. Shared tables may not be to everyone's liking, but it worked for us! The food is exceptional good and the wine selection is great (the staff know their stuff and it is worth trying something unusual - the wine we had was one I would never had ordered - but was pleasantly surprised!). The pork belly was sensational!
The only reason for only 4 star is it is a little pricey. (If I could do 4 1/2 I would!)
S. L.
This place is amazing! Ordered the tasting menu and was well worth the price.
The dishes given to us are so flavorful and portion-wise, generous. Really loved all of the dishes (especially beef tartare and bombe alaska) and service is attentive.
T. M.
What a great discovery! Very nice and inviting setting. The food is simply delicious, cooked with care. Had veal croquettes, scallops, steak béarnaise (excellent) with frites and bomb Alaska... All perfect and accompanied by SA wines. Thank you, I'll come back next time I pass by!
S. B.
That was delicious!! We went here for lunch today and had the most beautiful Duck and Aged Steak, followed by a couple of really lovely deserts as well. Great service and a fantastic menu. Definitely back here for more....
M. C.
Press* is an Adelaide institution and rightly so. I’ve been lots of times and will carry on going for as long as it’s there. The restaurant is over two levels with upstairs being my favourite area. Big rooms comfy booths and some tables are the go up there. There’s a bar up there too so you won’t go thirsty.
The food is both traditional and inventive sometimes in the same dish!
The service is great, they are a well oiled machine.
I’ve heard a rumour they may be buying Rigonis which would be awesome.
G. P.
Great food, attentive service in a fine dining rustic atmosphere. The upstairs dining is cosy and spacious at the same time. We had the tasting menu on Valentine's Day
Great drinks menu too. They also allow you to purchase a half bottle of wine under $100
A. H.
Very good service from friendly attentive staff and very good food.
Only issue was the portions were a tad small, all good if you order a few sides as well.
Pic is the pork belly, i was expecting a larger piece as per pics from others. However, the taste and presentation were very good.
C. P.
Great wine and dinner selection, and friendly service. Booking required in advance especially weekend. If you like pork you MUST go here.
A. K.
What a hidden gem. The main was well presented, cooked to perfection and tasted just as good.
Desert, O.M.G. the Lemon Souffle was the best we have come accross.
The service was great and the place was just buzzing.
Great job and great place.

R. W.
Always amazing food, frequent changes and interesting wine menu
C. P.
Amazing food. The feed me menu is just exceptional. Good wine. The burger is perhaps the best in adelaide. Seriously. Rated no 1 by the advertiser. And I've tested all of them.
D. C.
Celebrated our wedding anniversary here, a jewel of a place... totally unassuming from the outside, but as u enter those doors it’s like the New York subway.. we were seated at the family booths on the first floor with a very attentive staff member always around us... we ordered the veal croquettes and some other stuff to begin with... the croquettes were really well flavoured.. they even made a portion of 5 for us..
For the mains we ordered the burgers, and the steak fries... I would say the meat ranks amongst my best. To end the evening Ordered their top 3 desserts - creme brûlée, soufflé, baked Alaska... somehow these kind of let us down... though the presentation was great - I guess the creme brûlée would have been the better choice but it was kind of half baked... in any case I would still rate this place high for a good evening celebration..
T. T.
Such a fantastic feed with an abundance of flavours. The Blue swimmer crab pappardelle is phenomenal
F.
Amazing service, attentive and not intrusive. Limited menu but what we ordered are all good. 👍🏻
K. P.
It was quite expensive for me, but the quality and service were at reasonable prices. I could feel 'What is being served the great cuisine'. I hope to visit there with my husband in the next time.
C. S.
Chic casual eatery with long, shared, high tables and high chairs. Noise level was good, despite a full house - always a good sign that the place is professionally designed. Very attentive and skilled staff. Menu was heavy on the mushrooms, fair prices for nicely prepared steaks and sauces. Inventive salads and tasty sides. The focus isn't on cocktails here, they can't even do a standard Cosmo, but there are at least 5 different types of Gin on offer, which I guess is a sign of the times. The wine list is imPress*ive, though the open selection is a bit limited. An upstairs area offers additional dining space.
D. C.
We had the most amazing meal here. Served by warm, genuine and knowledgeable staff, we enjoyed dazzling cocktails, wonderful food and truly great wine. It was so enjoyable to be a room with a really diverse range of ages. Every aspect of the night was delightful, we will be back!
T. Y.
Loved it. Food was great, very tasty but yet not overpowering. The ambience was very casual and relaxed and service staff was attentive and friendly. Didn’t manage a pic of the place or our food, but really appreciated the handwritten Thank You when we called for the bill.
G. B.
Outstanding. Freshest sashimi I've tasted excepting straight off the rod. The brisket special was life-changing. Our waiter was fantastic and joined in on our ridiculous conversation about platypus.
N. A.
Staff here were professional from the onset and very accommodating to our party of 3. Conferred with the kitchen and came up with an option for one in our group who had a dietary requirement. Their service, attentiveness, and initiative could not be faulted, and not once did we have to request more drinks or water. All our dishes were presented and served beautifully and though their menu may appear smaller than other places, everything we ordered was exceptionally done. Very satisfied with our experience at press*
A. C.
Great spot. The service is exceptional. The food is still great after many years. The wine list is varied and excellent. We had a broad selection of dishes and they were all great. Even the bread was excellent. Just go.
N. S.
Amazing! We were seated upstairs for a work dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were served by Kaitlyn she was brilliant! The staff were always friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and tasty. Would definitely recommend eating here and will definitely be coming back!
K. D.
Had a fantastic meal yesterday with a set menu for 4 people with top service the only disappointment was the deserts with 2 small deserts being severed one consisted of half a pear to be shared by 4? The rest of the meal was first class!
Would recommend to others
R. O.
Visited here while in Adelaide (from Melbourne) Terrible service by waitress - had no idea about items on menu, gave confusing information, forgot to provide menu, didn’t bring items asked for. Food was nice but having read reviews, expected much better, steak under seasoned and chicken was dry. Wouldn’t visit again.
G. R.
Potentially great but we were a little disappointed. Very rushed initially. Food was interesting but lacked balance in the flavours. Staff were excellent.
B. B.
Had an excellent meal at Press*. Food was great (regional, seasonal, subtle and interesting) and a great drink menu (had a very reasonably priced local). Wait staff were excellent, and ambiance was on point. Notably, it was obviously a busy evening and when there was a minor delay between courses they did what we all want of a restaurant under the circumstances: apologised and meant it! Will definitely go back, and will be giving it as a recommendation to friends and family.
J.
When my partner today had booked here i was super excited as I had always heard about Press but never been. I assumed that this restaurant was fine dining after reading what was on Google. When entering there most talbles are shared benchtops which is a causal experience and less intimate. This was disappointing. The menu arrived and it then became apparent that it was a steak restaurant. Again completely unexpected. Starters were fantastic but mains options dissapointing.
D. D.
The booths upstairs are lovely. Beautiful food, friendly staff, nice for a special occasion.
D. F.
Gorgeous setting. Food was absolutely fantastic, some of the plates are a little strange but overall lovely place to have a beautiful meal. Prices are a little high but worth it for sure.
A. C.
We did the degustation. Simply amazing. Pork was over cooked but the other 9 dishes are Michelin class! Come here hungry. They don’t hold back. Congratulations chefs and waitstaff. World class!!!
L. B.
Great location in the booths upstairs, tasty food and atmosphere was cozy.
K. M.
All the food we ordered was incredible and the staff were very friendly.
e.
Friendly service and waitress helpful to make recommendations. I had the steak frittes. Food was delicious.
J. H.
A welcoming place with staff that know the menu well and are also friendly (not a combination you always get), & excellent food quality.
A. H.
Delicious Burger! Good selection of beers and looks to be plenty of wines on offer. Loved the onion rings.
Y. l. d. 妈.
Loved this place! We dined there for my baby's 6months celebration. We ordered 1kg aged steak which tasted amazing! Other mains and sides also tasted good. Staffs were friendly and the food came on fast. Definitely visit again. The only negative part was no parenting room for people bringing their kids. Also no lift if carry prams. Very inconvenient. That's the only downside.
I. M.
Excellent food, excellent service. Good bang for your buck.
M. F.
Came here for dinner with a group.
Personally I thought the taste of the food was excellent. Had the fish of the day which tasted amazing. The interior was also very cool and service staff were excellent.
However we waited a very long time for mains (over an hour), portion size was small and in my opinion slightly overpriced.
Still worth taking a look.
R. M.
Awesome restaurant! Exceptional service. $85 tasting menu was absolutely fantastic! Fresh, seasonal, local and very generous.
M. W.
Rather let down with last night's visit. Don't get me wrong the food was good and service fine but lacked the wow factor we experienced in our first visit 2 yrs earlier. Food was rather rushed and we seemed to have less space between tables in the upstairs dining area which left the atmosphere less intimate. I also found the choice in music in the background questionable. All together a nice evening but definately not worth the price tag for the meal and service. Time to move on and find another favourite restaurant
D. J.
Great service, nice food and cocktails, and a cozy interior space.
R. V.
Tasting menu was on point! Delicious food and perfect size portions! The steak with chimichurri was the best!
Definitely coming back on my next visit to Adelaide!
E. M.
Oh my everything was fantastic! My friend and I both had two cocktails which were reasonably expensive but were delicious! We both ordered the fish of the day and I wish it was a menu staple! Perfectly cooked fish, the potato, sauce and sprouts all paired amazingly well. We also shared the yummy beetroot salad. I was really tempted to lick the plate!!!! Will definitely e back!!
R. V.
Seated upstairs, great atmosphere, went for the $55 pp just bring us food option.... Let me tell you that did not disappoint, fantastic selection, awesome flavours, plenty to eat, just delicious. Compliments to the chef.
R. S.
Great Service and perfectly cooked and presented dishes! Well done to all at Press! Thank you to all the great staff for a great night celebrating my wife's birthday ( Had a laugh with a lovely waitress pronouncing yoghurt LOL :) Thanks to all at Press and to show case SA wonderful produce in all its glory.
p.
Great food and atmosphere as always. Made even better tonight by a really attentive and friendly waitress - didn’t catch her name but know she’s from Seattle, thanks for your good service
M.
Went for a wedding event and it is was probably the best service and food I've had at a wedding reception. Staff were attentive with drinks and dietary requirements. The food was something special and their wine selection does Adelaide proud. I'll be returning to dine sometime soon.
J. S.
Always tasty food, however, portion sizes have dropped significantly over the years. Could quite comfortably eat two of the majority of mains on the menus - a number of them are what most would consider a largish entree. Given the prices of the mains I would expect more.
E.
Michael was an absolute lej - the bread was 😍 (even the gluten free which is epic). Can't wait to come back!
C. B.
You probably wouldn't go here for the burger, but it really is one of the best burgers in Adelaide. Excellent service, beautiful dining area and atmosphere. Perfect spot for a really really good dinner and bottle of wine with friends. Will definitely return!
S. C.
Loved it. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service. Had the sirloin, steak frits, side of greens. All cooked well and tasted delicious. Staff all knowledgeable and attentive, even with an almost packed house. Highly recommend and no surprise as to why they received a good food hat award this year.
K. J.
Excellent food - friendly service but don't be in a rush - you'd have to describe the pace as "leisurely". Highly recommended for a long lunch or un-rushed dinner. Had a great dinner here. Food was very nice as well as service. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Excellent food, And great varieties of menu. Love the tasting menu! However the ‘U’ shape seating is very tight for 6 people seating. Wonderful experience and recommended for good dining adventure.
J. T.
Great food. Great wine. Great service.
M.
Second time eating here, for obvious reasons - this restaurant is one of Adelaide's shining stars for good, tasty food of all kinds, done in interesting and incredible ways more often than not! And for the quality of food, drink, service and ambience, the price is really good value. Though good value, it isn't "cheap" - however it is good enough value that I will of course continue to return from time to time.
N. H.
You won't find a better eating house in Adelaide. Rare these days to have a faultless dining experience.
Staff were attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Food absolutely first class and wine cellar stocked with the best Adelaide has to offer.
Outstanding!!!
A. L.
Great food. Courteous staff.. but preparation time is bit long..
M. C.
Grest networking venue, fantastic food and lots of different beers
T. O.
Amazing food that is creative and of the highest quality. Great wine list too! This restaurant is supported by a very friendly and professional team who provide great customer service. Thank you Press* Food & Wine!
J. S.
Excellent wine list. Fantastic staff. You can get a half bottle of any wine under a $100 in a glass flask .. Great way to taste 2 or 3 wines without buying a bottle. Everything we tried was delicious. Definitely recommend
N. G.
Amazing food, service, wine recommendations and atmosphere. We had the tasting menu with some great bottles of wine. Love travelling to Adelaide and heading to a restaurant that has everything nailed . Will be back!!
S.
I have an endless amount of food intolerances and the staff at Press we’re able to work around these enormous restrictions to provide a wonderful array of delicious food for me. I had give up on ever being able to eat out again until I went to Press. All the staff were friendly and our waitress was just the most gorgeous person and she took personal care of us all night. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
K. M.
I've been a couple of times now and both times have been outstanding. I opted for something a little simpler with Steak Frites on my second visit, and was happy to receive a deliciously generous plate of medium rare steak and perfectly cooked fries. I followed up my dinner with the peanut, salted caramel and chocolate desert option which was a total winner. We had international guests with us on our visit and they loved it.
S. W.
Had an amazing dessert, coconut custard I think it was, with a very thin crust on top. Food and service was excellent.
Oh and by the way they also have a few unusual non-alcoholic wines.
D. C.
The beef brisket was the best I've ever had. You have to try the mixed grill even if you don't usually like offal you will enjoy this. The place has a great ambiance and its a really nice building. We also never felt rushed by the staff (was there on a Friday night) and we had plenty of time to enjoy the night out
H. M.
Beautiful food from interesting menu, loved the separate offal section. Buzzy ambience, bare boards, windows but able to chat comfortably. Happy service and Interesting wines by the glass - did not look at bottle section. Looking forward to a return visit. Wish we had this restaurant in Sydney.
R. S.
Great service, I accidentally booked the wrong date, but they still managed to seat my party. Food was swift, wine selection was great, and the meal itself was exceptional
L. T.
This casual dining restaurant offers a range of seating choices to diners. Innovative menu with the freshest of seasonal ingredients matched with a range of Adelaide wines. The chefs menu provides groups of diners with the opportunity to try the innovative dishes at such a reasonable price. This is an Adelaide cbd gem where you can dine alone, as a couple or as a group. The waitstaff are professional, supportive and very happy to describe the ingredients or wine regions and what is on offer to try.
A. Y.
Really impressed with Press!! It may seem expensive but it's not. If you want a good dining experience then it's normal. Also we had the $75 four courses and if you break it down $15 + $15 + $30 +$15 = $75 then it's pretty spot on! (Not that the prices are like that but you get the idea). Really happy with the service and food was really great! Huge selection of drinks which is Awsome.. One thing that was really disappointing was the cocktail list.. There was only like 9 on there and I asked for an Ameretto Sour (not on list) and was told that they couldn't make them 😓 surely their bartenders are skillful enough to make any cocktail..? Other than that was really good and highly recommend you check them out 👍👍
M. M. L.
I've been coming here for years, every time I'm in town. Press' consistency of standards is impressive; their Press Burger is still one of the best I've had, globally. It's an exercise in technical perfection and disciplined simplicity.
This latest visit, tried the House-Smoked Fish which turned out to be an aioli lumpy mash devoid of any fish or smoked flavours. Disappointing. Can't master them all, but certainly won't deter me from returning.
N.
Recommend booking a table, though the unreserved seating downstairs is great for a more lively vibe. The chef's recommendation menu factors in any preferences, and was really way too much food. Staff lovely as always, great selection of drinks - I make it a point to stop by every time I'm in Adelaide.
M. H.
Tasty food and helpful service. The menu probably lent itself to dinner a little better than a monday lunch but very enjoyable. pork belly was tasty and the sirloin steak was next level. Worked out at 50 a head without drinks
U. J.
Good vibes and good food.
Ordered the dry aged sirloin and mixed press* grill. The steak was cooked to perfection and the mixed grill had different types of offals. See below for photos.
The quality of the steak was better than Andre’s Cucina & Polenta Bar but the service was not as great as them.
Will visit this restaurant again when I go back to Adelaide. Recommend ordering the steak. :)
L. F.
Food was outstanding. Service was amazing the staff were to fun quick and nice.
Great aesthetics and atmosphere, seating was spacious and comfortable (not sure about pre covid seating arrangements).
H. P.
Very nice, funky restaurant. Could say on the flash side. Customer service was excellent. We had a selection of different foods, some where great, others just ok. All food & drinks were on the high side, (a pork bun "slider" was $9.50 with not a lot of meat), thus bringing the rating down.
G. D.
Really nice restaurant. Spotted the premier of South Australia at the next table! Lovely menu choices e.g. crab pasta, lamb chops were delicious. Good wine list too. Not cheap but worth it.
A. W.
Food and cocktails are nice but not really generous with the portions.
E. C.
The atmosphere is nice, and our food was amazing, as we ordered the tasting menu banquet. A bit pricey if you go with this option with large group of people as really the portion you get vs what you would eventually pay per person is not really worth it.
You would be better off ordering ala carte per person of the same dishes as in the menu, place them in the middle, share it amongst yourselves and still come out paying less than the banquet option and you get same portion too.
Service was good and highly recommended.
C. Y.
Food took 3+ hours for the tasting menu but the desserts were amazing and they gave us two extra desserts for free as an apology
J. L.
Wonderful food~~ Rather pricey, but definitely worth it for a special occasion. Waitress was very attentive and informative. Atmosphere is really nice, fine dining place.
T. P.
The food and service was great, but a good restaurant goes beyond this as atmosphere is just as much a contributor. The music was so loud that I couldn't hear the person sitting across from me without them having to yell. I would have thought the waitress may have got the hint when she too was talking to me from across the table and twice I had to ask her to repeat herself while putting my hand against my ear to direct her voice towards it.
Yes, I understand it is that industrial feel within the restaurant, and the music can still be dominating, but you need to get the balance correct as to when it is just too loud.
R. B.
Had a wonderful experience at Press* last night. We left our lives in the hands of the kitchen staff and they definately didnt disappoint. This brigade that know what they are doing. Perfect food matches prepared with love!! Our table staff was spot on, especially when I commented we were after a wine that would linger on the palette, by using the term 'lingeree". Her reply, I think you mean lingere sir. Classic. Highlight of the night, chargrill ox tounge and the anchovies stuffed olives in the martini. Highly recommend Press* in Adelaide.
C. I.
The layout of the restaurant is really interesting with bar-type chairs.
The list of wine is excellent. Dishes are well executed with a few tiny issues (the squid was soft but didn't have an actual side included, the pappardelle were delicious but too spicy and I would have preferred to taste the crab more).
The desserts unfortunately were not balanced: the coconut custard was made crème brulée style but had dehydrated pineapple slices on the side which I frankly didn't understand.
The bomb Alaska was disappointing: great visual effect (with the flame and everything) but the ratio meringue-ice-cream inside was completely off. Additionally, as soon as you get to the sponge cake layer on the bottom, it just tastes of the alcohol that was used to make the flames. What about reducing the ice-cream amount and using just a tiny quantity of a flavored liquor (Calvados f.i.) to avoid the weird soak?
n. s.
My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary after hearing good things! We’re both vegan and the chefs were incredibly accomodating and made us some delicious food. We accompanied our food with some Pinot noir and Shiraz, the wine was some of the best we’ve had. Our waitress went above and beyond with her service, I didn’t get her name but she had pink hair. She made our dinner so special and even congratulated us on our anniversary. Will definitely be coming back here :)
C. V.
High quality food, nice and attentive staff, too long of a wait. Pack a bit of patience and you'll be fine. Absolutely gorgeous salads and the barbecue vegetables are insanely tasty.
A. M.
I can't give this place enough stars. Hands down the best meal I have ever had!!! Finest cut of wagyu eye fillet, with a side of tasty mac & cheese. It was soo good I almost cried while eating... I can't wait till I'm down in Adelaide next. The staff were amazing too.
K. B.
3 course feed us lunch option on a Saturday. They gave us the option of 3 savoury over 2 savoury + 1 dessert. Did not have to think about the food. They hit the nail on the head for the 3 courses. Would not hesitate to return.

I came from Melbourne to see family and celebrate my birthday. The service and attention to detail was exceptional and not to mention the quality of food. I had an absolute ball and won't forget my 30th birthday here.
J. W.
An outstanding experience. We opted for the tasting menu, and it was not only great food but generous size portions (certainly not small tastes!). The wine list was excellent, staff were knowledgeable on the wines available and offered a taste if we were unsure; a pleasure to deal with. Great work, we will visit again when next in town
S. T.
Beautiful food, great selection of wines, excellent friendly wait staff. And not too noisy.
N. C.
Loved the food.. Loved the environment.. I was adventurous to tried the mixed grill which had "brain".. Yes brain means "😁 brain" 1st time I tried brain at a restaurant.. Dropped dead delicious..
The customer service was amazing...forgot the name of the waitress but she was an amazing lovely person made the whole experience even more enjoyable..
If Im back in Adelaide again.. I would definitely visit..
5 stars 😊

Press Food & Wine was incredible, the food was top notch the wine amazing. The staff were attentive, pleasant and knowledgeable, highly highly recommended!
T. J.
Of the numerous times I've been to Press over the years, the food has always been good. It's not a cheap restaurant but good quality, good flavours, good wait staff, perfect for a nice night out.
L. C.
Perhaps too dear for what you get but overall a nice dining spot.
E. M. W.
Stunning - amazing food and service. It's an adventurous menu with refined ingredients including an offal section, but it's definitely worth it. The tuna, calves tongue and pappardelle with crab was the highlight of our dinner!
J. R.
Staying in Adelaide for the football and wasn't sure what to do for lunch. Almost stumbled upon Press* and couldn't have been luckier. Every item on the tasting menu was delicious - thoughtfully prepared and a beautiful combination of flavour and texture. Would return without question.
G. F.
Lovely place with great food and a amazing ambience, this place serves amazing quality of food and in a very well maintained manner. The food tasted awesome and I loved that.
The staff here is also very helpful and friendly and helped me I choosing the best kinda food for me.
Loved this place and would like to visit here again soon.
G. P.
Great food and atmosphere. Lots of small or medium options to choose from, all of which are ideal for sharing. A bit on the pricey side but the quality and ambiance justifies it. Standout dish = the crab linguine and the mashed potatoes
R. T.
The food is great but we were rushed through at light speed. Entree served within 5 minutes of ordering followed by mains within minutes after entrees were finished. Felt like tbey wanted us out of there within the hour. Not relaxing.
K. S.
Good quality food, excellent service, thank you!
C.
Great wine list. Tasting menu was excellent. Especially the 'sweet breads'. Did not leave hungry. Great communal atmosphere
L. D. P.
Excellent service and the Tasting plates option is amazing! We loved!
A. T.
Good food, decent service, disappointed to see the rib eye, t-bone, scotch fillet and kobi beef & the offel have all been removed from the menu leaving only sirloin or steak frites.
M. U.
Been twice with my friend and the food has been AMAZING both times. Definitely value for money
H. E. A.
Amazing food and service. It is a wow experience which reflects south australia sense of hospitality and quality of products!
Looking forward to eating there again 😇
H. M.
Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Really nothing more to say. Highly recommend

Amazing place and the food good but small portion 🥺
l. s.
Service and food was excellent
E. S.
Amazing meal, fresh and carefully considered dishes, the perfect amount of food for a tasting menu . Would highly recommend! Had a mix of meat and vegan dishes.
B. G.
Really good wine list and food menu. Just seems that you need to order more than you think, small serves. Turns out to be pretty expensive at the end of the night. Overall a great atmosphere.
D. C.
Brilliant food and great wait staff. If your looking for a place to meet and sit with friends in an informal environment and enjoy 5 star food. Don't go past this place.
D. M.
Pretty good. Food was extremely spicy with no warning (though still good). Bombe Alaska was cool to look at but taste was just ok
S. N.
Nice place, beautiful atmosphere. Friendly staff who are happy to engage in conversation and have lots of information about to products and food.
Tasting menu is fantastic if you want to try a bit of everything
H. D.
I went to Press two times, my experience was so so. Nothing massively special, but certainly not bad at all. I did not like the char grilled cauliflower and fish of the day but anything else was good.
H. A. L.
Our favourite is the grilled squid. We tried the pork belly And the press mixed grilled also. But would recommend the mixed grilled, not the pork belly. Busy, but dont be afraid to walk in. Tables are turned quickly
A. M.
Excellent food and extensive drinks selection. Great service and a wonderful ambiance.
P. R.
Got the sirloin and side of the day. Not what I was expecting, but in a good way. Steak was sliced, seasoned, sauced, and delicious. Good vibe, staff were friendly. Highly recommended.
F. j.
Very Moorish and excellent presentation. Reminds me a little of a relaxed "Georges" nearby. Yes , the wine list can move the wallet quite a bit, but ,all in all forward thinking , up market , with the clientel more the upwardly .
L. S.
The food here was absolutely delishes. I had the chefs fish special. It was cooked perfectly and matched with the best mash potato. 😍😍😍
p. p.
Excellent "upper end" restaurant. Consistently good food and service. Great for business.
D.
Great formal and casual dining.
Walk ins accepted on ground floor. Booking rewired upstairs for formal dining.
Great wine list, great food and always friendly staff.
L. P.
Good food...better than good food. Great range of local him and great service. Worth a visit.
M. R.
Love this place. Great hamburger. Sadly the beef ribs special isn't on the regular menu. Head upstairs for a more formal dining experience.
G. E.
One of the best restaurants in Adelaide. Great food and service but limited vegetarian selection.
L. R.
We had the luncheon tasting plate and it was SENSATIONAL. Highly recommended, great service, and fantastic wine menu also. Get in and try, you’ll love it!
O.
Staff are super friendly and an absolute delight to chat to. Food was fantastic and the decor is modern and comfortable. Great place for a date! Well worth the money.
J. M.
Loved this place!!! Bottle of wine is a must with your meal! If your in Adelaide... Do yourself and your company a favour by doing in for a meal. You won't be disappointed.
S.
I've been here a few times, the most recent was a few months ago now. But I still bore the s4!t out of my Mrs talking about how good the brisket was. It was a religious experience.
S. F. D.
Food here was absolutely Devine had the Press tasting menu - borderline too much but a really awesome way to taste a menu - service was awesome atmosphere great for conversation without too much noise
M. Z.
A great location, staff and menu that'll have you coming back again and again. Perfect for a long lunch with friends; let them feed you and enjoy the local produce and wines.
J. W.
Went here for lunch at the cafe (downstairs). Food is good value for the quality and the service was quick. A great place for a not too expensive up market lunch.
C. V.
Delicious starters, average steaks. Will be back to try other mains!
D. B.
Splendid evening was had by our colleagues with well matched wines. The service was exemplary and we are looking forward to our next visit
C. H.
Great atmosphere, lovely food with thoughtful consideration for GF options, steak was delightful.
B. H.
Good food and good service
E. C.
The menu is what got us here. The staff and hand towels in the bathroom is what f#^*ing made it. 10/10 recommended to ANYONE. Going to be such a pest for this joint!
D. G.
Enjoyed a beautiful lunch here (as always), flavours melded beautifully...and we had the BEST crispy potatoes we have had anywhere....service was excellent and friendly...definitely returning
E. D.
I like the booth seats upstairs, which are perfect for 5 people. The crispy pig ears may sound weird but are great snacks to go with a beer.
L. F.
I found this venue a bit too open with long share tables and high stools. The food was ok but didn't wow me. It was at lunch and not many customers present, when busy the vibe would be better.
M. H.
For lunch a pappardelle blue swimmer crab/chilli dish ($29) pretty good. Long communal tables if that bugs you - alone at late lunch it did not. Very detailed wine list which can get exxy. Dim hanging bulbs and rough timber walls boho chic (or something!)
B. T.
Amazing customer service experience and fine dining. A gorgeous space with wonderful food. Eat the lemon Soufflé!!
S. H.
Very friendly staff and delicious food
M. B.
This was an amazing Valentine's day thanks to press* food & wine . Soooooo happy, he service was exemplary and we are looking forward to our next visit!!!

Dinner for 3. A lot of hype about this restaurant but we thought it was only ok, lot of $ for what you get. We won't be going back, there is lot better for a lot less.
B. M.
Went here the other night and thought the service was excellent. Recommend!
A. N. G.
Nice buzzy atmosphere. Food is good, but would probably opt for a steak or burger over the tasting menu.
J. D.
One of the restaurants that is a must when in Adelaide, The Press specialises in local produce, with a unique style of food.
N. C.
That pork belly was really good. Great wine selection.
Had to wait to order next round of drinks. Can be extremely busu.
F. R.

Wasn't too bad...but I expected more. It just doesn't hit the spot for me sorry. If I had to compare, georges up the road is much better. Sorry

L. S.
The new menu at Press is a must try. Delicious and reasonably sized. The new décor is very fancy and the staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable about the food and wine.
J. B.
A fairly lack luster experience for such a beautiful new fit out. We were given the wine menu on arrival but no food menu which seems an odd way to begin service if you like to pair your drinks. We were immediately informed that we couldn't order any cocktail beyond a negroni or base with a mixer as they were short staffed so settled on a bottle of wine. When we got to receiving our food menu they were sold out of the oysters which would have been nice to know prior to ordering. First impressions.. not great.
Our waiter seemed stressed and had little to no knowledge of the food or wine. He couldn't answer basic questions like what the sauce on the ribs was and he forgot one of our dishes twice needing to be reminded. The food itself was good enough albeit some dishes a bit under seasoned. The chicken skins with abalone were the best by far. I'd still be interested to come back and see whether this was just a teething issue with the re-opening. I hope so!
B. F.
MIGUEL YOU ARE AMAZING!! great friendly service
Also no words for the food! Everything was excellent .
Thanks, Miguel! 💛

(Translated) We came to the restaurant hungry and were not disappointed. There is a modern and at the same time urban atmosphere and we really enjoyed the evening. The advice on food and wine was very individual and pleasant. We had only ordered the pasta mildly spicy, that didn't work the first time. We were promptly given a new version and a free dessert wine. All around a perfect service and a very delicious meal. We can definitely recommend the restaurant with a good feeling!

Wir kamen hungrig in das Restaurant und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Es herrscht eine moderne und gleichzeitig urbane Atmosphäre und wir haben den Abend sehr genossen. Die Beratung zu Speisen und Wein war sehr individuell und angenehm. Wir hatten die Pasta nur mild scharf bestellt, das hat beim ersten Anlauf nicht geklappt. Prompt haben wir eine neue Version und einen gratis Dessertwein erhalten. Rundum ein perfekter Service und ein sehr leckeres Essen. Wir können das Restaurant mit einem guten Gefühl eindeutig empfehlen!
