So if a Coffin Bay oyster is served in the city its ok. But in a country town its inferior?
It is lucky that a country town has a horse and cart come in every few weeks with new supplies....

Wow.
I'll start by saying I'm not a wine drinker so the effort put into pairing wines and meals were lost on me, my fellow diners certainly enjoyed the recommendations though.
Three of us:
Started with a plate of Antipasti. ( $35 for two and $15 per person after that ) the sardine fillets marinated in chilli & olive oil on wholemeal crostini were fantastic.
3 daily specials, one of the group had the free range Adelaide Hills Hare with a tomato pasta for entree ( $32 ) and the other two of us had the Risotto with housemade pork sausage, little snake shaped grissini. ( $31.90 )
For mains one went the daily special of Tasmanian Ocean Trout and loved it, nice sized piece and looked nicely cooked ( $43 ) while the other had the Grilled fillet of Black Angus beef, baked polenta,roasted carrots, shallots, red wine jus. ($41.90 )
Me, I went the Grilled Tommy Ruff fillets, celeriac puree, mandarin,watercress, Adelaide Hills hazelnuts. ($37.90) Now, for a lad who grew up in Adelaide's west with a Dad who has always had a boat I've caught, filleted and eaten my fair share of tommies. More than my fair share and coughing up (someone else did, anyway) nearly $40 for some tommies was a bit of a punt. But my god, they were amazing!
5 good sized fish, so 10 separate fillets that were grilled to perfection. The overtly gay waiter took my review of "spectacular" the wrong way and created a slightly awkward moment when he rested his hand on my shoulder while regaling a story of a previous punter who though the tommies were "too small to keep"....
I had 4 Moo Broo Pilseners from Tassie ( $12.50 each ) and the others shared a bottled of Henschke Sav Blanc, they had a a glass of red each with their mains and we all finished with a G&T.
Total ( I think as I didn't pay ) $420.
So, if I was paying, I'd say I would have been satisfied paying that much for what I had and the service we were offered.
Rating 9.5/10 - it's not one of Adelaides top 10 restaurants on a regular basis for no reason.

Should be an automatic one month ban from this site for buying food from OTR
Certainly a ban from this thread.

I hear a lot of complaints about it but I'm quite fond of the 2 kransky's, chips & gravy deal for $9.90.
