Carrick Hill Café 46 Carrick Hill Drive, Springfield, South Australia 5062

"For starters we ordered pate with brioche toasted bread and Hummus and Carrot dip with toasted sour dough bread. The dips were very flavoursome but the pate was one of the best I have ever tasted. Both dishes were elegantly presented. Perhaps vegetable batons could have been a welcome accompaniment to the dip platter. For mains we ordered the Parmasean and parsley crusted King George whiting with an Olive, parsley and lemon salad as well as the Osso Buco with Parsip cake. The highlight of the whiting dish was the very tasty crust and the tiny bits of lemon in that sesational salad. The Osso buco was cooked to perfection and the Parsip cake was crunchy, tasty and very morish. We finished our meal off with coffee and home made scones with Jam and cream. The service staff were welcoming, friendly and very timely. The views from our table were spectacular. I highly recommend visiting the Carrick Hill Cafe for a mouth watering experience."

"Booked a large group of adults/kids for mother's day. Food came out cold. Not warm. Not room temperature. COLD! Lucky I was hungry and I wanted to eat in the next 24 hours so didn't bother kicking up a fuss. We also waited over an hour for 2 coffees and mint tea. I rarely leave reviews when I eat out, but felt compelled to leave a warning to anyone else thinking of eating here - stay away or you too will be very disappointed."

"I can’t understand why they act like robots, may be due to stress caused by high number of orders. But there are many more busy cafes in Adelaide, but they provide a friendly service. Prices are really high and had wait for about 30mins to get a coffee. The floor of the cafe is unclean too."

"Overly priced. I paid $13 for 2 coffees. I mean seriously??? Nowhere it mentioned that take-away is $1 expensive than have-in. Usually isn’t it the other way?? Don’t you charge more when a service is involved? I had to wait for 30mins to get my coffee. I think it’s good if you can teach the staff to be a bit more pleasant. The lady making coffee doesn’t even know to respond when being thanked. All she gives in return is a frown. I’m disappointed of this cafe even though the mansion and garden is well maintained."

"One star for the garden and view. The service was unprofessional and the food was uninviting. I ordered a turkey salad which was drowned with iceberg lettuce. All tables were decorated with dead roses. See attached photos. I will not be going back!"
