The Summit Restaurant Cafe & Function Centre

The Summit Restaurant, Cafe & Function Centre, Mt Lofty Adelaide, is a very busy tourist destination, with commanding view of Adelaide and beyond. They cater for morning or afternoon coffee, a wedding celebration or a weekend family breakfast. We enjoyed a very well made breakfast and coffee. Even though the restaurant was busy, we found the service friendly and efficient. As we relaxed over the coffee and enjoyed watching crowds of tourists, taking photo,s and enjoying the day out. A good venue for a relaxing interlude.

It's been a while since I had done the Mt Lofty trail so when I reached the top I felt it was well-deserved for me to have a slice of cake and cold glass of water. Gee, who am I kidding? Was not well-deserved at all! Well atleast I shouldn't have thought of it that way. This cafe is such a temptation every time I reach the top! Half the time I am good enough to say next time, the other half I just succumb. They have such a good variety of cakes and drinks to choose from!

Went for a bike ride up to lofty and needed a pick me up/sugar hit to keep my energy levels going... They had Good choices of sweets/cakes to pick from here, I was very Happy! :)

Friend and i went to the cafe today for arvo tea. The place was uninviting, dirty (even the chairs and windows were dirty), food all over the floor, chairs and tables. I was overcharged quite a bit and was reluctantly given the refund with not a word or a look. The coffee was weak, tepid and unpalatable and the scones a strange cake-like concoction. The only water was in PAPER cups! Even the glass panel outside was filthy. Very unhelpful and unfriendly staff.

Soooo very disappointed! My husband and I went there last night for our 7th wedding anniversary, expecting this to be a fine dining experience - given the prices on their menu. We were very much disappointed. You walk into a horrible entrance and it is not a restaurant at all - its a cafe! and a very bad cafe at that! This place is soooo over priced and the meals that were served were like a 10 year could cook. $40 for the beef as a main and it was terrible! Not to mention the $20 starter was almost uneatable and the champagne had been opened for atleast 2 days prior as there were no bubbles in it. The service was appalling - even by cafe standards. There was only us and about 8 other diners in the 'restaurant' area - I think this shows how unpopular this place is. The table setting were disgraceful - a paper table cloth, dented cheap salt and pepper shakers, cheap cutlery, paper menus, no candles on the tables, a plastic table number (as you get in your local cafe) ...read more
