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 party of 8 people ranging from 4.5 years to 80 years gathered for a family celebration lunch with three generations, some of whom had flown in from London, and some of whom were locals. The venue, food, drinks and rarely for Australia, the service, was simply excellent and faultless. The lobster, fish, meats and vegetables were all sumblime and... More

We had a fantastic meal at d'Arrys. The staff were excellent - so friendly. The views are worth trying for and the meals are of fantastic quality. Deserving of a place in anyone's top 10. I really enjoyed the whole resteraunt! Book in advance.
