The Scenic Hotel @ Norton Summit. Ask for Herbie.If its a nice night,try and get a table on the Balcony. Great food great views, Pale Ale on tap and they are in the entertainment book (if you have one) so wont take a massive hit in the ol sky rocket.

Star of Siam on Gouger Street...best restaurant in Adelaide hands down! If you like Thai this is your place, we go here every Valentines Day. The food and service is amazing.

Entertainment book/card is the best.

Went to the revolving restaurant at the bay a couple of Fridays ago, very very good meals and a great view too. it was a bit hard to get used to initially (the revolving part) but all good after a couple of minutes.

$90 for garlic/herb bread starter
roasted lamb shank in nice rose sauce for Mrs NG and i got an angus steak (medium rare) with prawns and scallops that were so fresh and creamy and two drinks each.

entertainment card got it down to $68, pretty happy with that!

If you don't mind Indian food, Chingari up at Nairne is sensational. Get takeaway from there every week or two, always good.

Plenty of great eateries on the Parade Norwood Johno, pretty easy to get to and home from one would think...

The Bath have great sit down menu or bar food for that matter, if you like Thai, Chabaar (opposite The Bath) is bloody fantastic...
