Came here on for Monday lunch, without a reservation. Were offered a choice of tables, each with a lovely view. The service was good (although a bit clumsy at times) and the staff were knowledgeable about the menu and the wine. Went for the a la carte option and were not disappointed. The lobster medallion/bisque was truly very good. Scallop... More

We had set forth for a day in McLaren Vale to taste some wine and see the countryside. I had heard about this restaurant on many occasions and some Adelaide locals also recommended it so we decided to have a look. Had a look at the menu before we committed and I was a little nervous about the prices (tourist... More

We lunched at D'Arry's Verandah in May 2013 and ordered off the regular menu. I had the Lobster Medallion with Blue Swimmer Crab & Prawn Ravioli & Lobster Bisque as my entree, and it was absolutely wonderful. I'll probably still be talking about this for years to come. I also had a very respectable beef filet for my main that... More

We spent nearly three hours of a cool autumn Saturday afternoon grazing on the Degustation menu in the comfort of D’Arry’s Verandah. The room is long and slim with two rows of tables so no matter where you sit you will have some view of the rolling McLaren Vales and its vineyards stretching below and to the south. The restaurant... More

We had lunch at d'Arry's Verandah on a Saturday and were seated inside. When a table of eight arrived half an hour later the noise level rose, but the staff set up a table outside and were happy for us to move. Altogether the service was excellent and the view across vineyards and the surrounding hills was very pretty. We... More

What can I say but simply - this restaurant is without doubt one of the best in South Australia. Have been a number of times now and we regularly take friends and family from interstate with us. The food and service has never let us down - so much so that our friends & family think we are so "in... More

Visited d'Arry's Verandah mid April for lunch. I have reviewed this restaurant previously. I think everyone should try it at least once. Our experience was 'nice' - some good, some ordinary and I do agree with a previous review in some regards it just did not hang together. I arrived a few minutes early as there was a stipulation that... More

Our visit to this exceptional restaurant was perfect. The food was to die for, I had the steak and it was the best I have had.We had a cosy table looking directly over the valley. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive . Will be back. perfect
