Waymouth Street’s culinary heavyweight delivers confident Modern Australian cooking across a multi-story industrial dining room. The kitchen treats regional South Australian produce with serious care—from kangaroo tartare with yolk and crisp potato to rich chicken liver parfait piped inside delicate choux au craquelin. Regulars swear by the off-menu consistency of the classic dry-aged beef, though opting for the multi-course feed me menu lets the floor staff calibrate plates around table preferences and tricky dietary needs without missing a beat. Wine pairings skew sharp and regional, moving effortlessly from crisp local pours to bold international bottles before rounding off with smoked chocolate and coffee mousse.

- Native SA Produce: Native ingredients take center stage in dishes like kangaroo tartare with potato alongside regional South Australian cuts.
