El Carbon - Reserva de mesa

Actually, this place has STYLE from the moment you walk in the door - fabulous tiled columns, magic views of the Glenelg Marina and the ocean, and spicy South American music calling my feet to dance some Bachata before I even get to my table.It's Sunday and I've passed a notice board with a suggested two-course set menu, but it's already 2pm and I'm not so hungry. Hmm, but the Softshelled crab with Al Pastor and Caramelised Pineapple did catch my eye.Before the super-smiling French waiter brings me the menu, I ask him for a cappucino. I've had soooo many bad cappucinos around Adelaide lately - cold, stewed, the beans burnt .... grrrr - but this one was "just right". So we're off to a good st...

Aiming for nowhere it can reach and delivering just as much. The last restaurant on the pier and where more people will rather pay to jump off than eat. Six people came for a light tapas meal. We're given five menus... The sixth person was responded to that the group next to us had the rest of the menus so there were no more to share...... First serve was for bread and olives. Wouldn't you know it, the menu fiasco was a prelude to the serving of 5 pieces of bread. We had to ask for another serve even after being promised 6 serves of bread by Monsieur waiter. Most of Pinchos served had great flavour. Very nice. Under served for the group, clearly no understanding of being a good host. Never s...

My boyfriend and I came here tonight for Valentine's Day, it was busy but nowhere near packed out. We ordered an entree of bread, two mains and a side. The bread itself took nearly half an hour to come out and we didn't get our mains and side until over an hour and a half, we got the duck and lamb and both were really tasty but I feel like the duck wasn't very good value. I get that you guys are just starting out and finding your feet but it wasn't a great experience as we were ridiculously hungry, if I'd have known it was going to take that long I would have gone elsewhere. I hope that you will continue to improve and that this was just a once-off. Reserva una mesa ahora

I went with my sister in law and nephew on Mother's Day. Nephew had already eaten a late brunch with his mother and did not want to eat lunch so we checked with the hostess who checked with the manager and assured us that he would not have to eat as the minimum price was $65 for a light three-course menu each. He had two beers and so did my sister. I had water. My nephew paid for the lunch so I did not know until now that he paid $199. The food was good and the service was good but the water and beers were too expensive so we won't go there or recommend it to anyone.

I ordered takeaway from this restaurant through uber eats and my order, I'm sure, was forgotten as I received it after 1.5hours and after phoning uber for help. Unfortunately the food wasn't even worth the wait either. Very small serves where 5 mouthfuls of kingfish hardly seemed the $20 price tag. The worst part was that the food was bland and unexciting. How do you ruin raw kingfish? The roast potatoes were hard and almost raw. All in all, spent $72 on dinner for two, but was left a bit hungry and feeling pretty ripped off! :(

I am proud of my heritage and the great flavors South America has to offer. This restaurant is nothing close. The flavors are not there. The size of the meals are minimal and way too expensive for the size. They may want to call it gourmet but after 20 years in Hospitality I am well aware of what gourmet food is. This place is not. They do not even know how to spell Colombia. Total lack of respect for the Culture. The only thing latin was the music. Service was good. Reserva una mesa ahora

Very tasty Food. Fusion South American food.Although the menu is not extensive, they are prepared to customize your meal to suit your needs. they can serve an entree dish as a main course which makes the menu more extensive.We had 2 different chicken dishes which were so tasty. Ordered some fries with our dish and they were delicious.This restaurant is a little pricy but the food made it worth it.

Good service and tasty food. Lots of flavour and such a lovely view of the beach and marina. The waiter really knew the menu and we tried some different dishes
