Mietta's Review
The dining room is part of a raised partition, in the main lounge area of the hotel overlooking the Adelaide Convention Centre and North Terrace. Upon entering the hotel you are greeted by a warm formal atmosphere, of polished brass, elegant lighting and classical music.

The Adelaide Food Guide 2010 "In the competitive top-end hotel precinct along this stretch of North Terrace, dining room expectations are high. The Playford meets the challenge, providing a setting of rich chocolatey colours, ornate fittings and a street-level, two-tiered dining room with very comfortable chairs"

Adelaide Advertiser Dianne Mattsson, 21-10-2009 Score: 14/20 "A nice match of formal service and setting, a solid menu to suit most tastes with flourishes in the presentation enhancing the experience and some adventurous cooking for the foodies in the group, but some work needed on balancing flavours. Great location for pre-theatre dining."
