Windy Point Restaurant

My husband always books us a table each anniversary.

We have been going to Windy Point now for 6 years and they have never disappointed us with their service or their menu. The view from our table is unbeatable.

If we could we would dine there once every week of the year.

Oh what a view! Food and service was great too. Highly recommend the Poached Ocean Trout and Baked Lemon Cheesecake.

Are people getting too dazzled with the view? We had a salad with 'pumpkin and asparagus' that had one small piece of asparagus and brown pea shaped things we think might have been the pumpkin served on bitter cabbage. The fish was not properly cooked and served on a disgusting large bed of mayo. Yuck. The tastless souffle had fallen and the 'honey and melon' wasn't a flavour, but served next to it in tiny bedpan- shaped dishes. Our friends said the steak was too small, etc. etc. Not one of the eight people was happy yet it cost $105 a person with no coffees or after-dinner drinks and minimal wine. The service is great but the food is terrible.

Windy Point Restaurant has a view that is simply unmatched, possibly unmatchable in Adelaide. The panoramic windows and table layout provide an incredible backdrop to a fantastic dining experience.

There is sufficient formality in the service and atmosphere to let you know that this isn't just another restaurant and that you are in for a treat.

The meals are consistently delicious and have flavour that belies the portion. One dish that I must have when I visit is the roast chateaubriand of beef. It is exactly the way beef should be.

The wine list has a great diversity and the staff are completely on top of it, even being able to recommend new labels that have only just arrived and aren't on the list yet. Their matching advice has always been spot on. The restaurant clearly places a big emphasis on the service quality, we have never had the same person twice between visits and they are consistently excellent.

We have also spent a New Years there and sitting at the table watching the various fireworks going off over the metro area as it ticked over midnight was very special indeed.

For any special occasion Windy Point Restaurant has become the default location for us as it always matches, if not regularly exceeds our expectations.
