Well the weekend was freezing but all the more reason to head out and enjoy wineries 🍷.
We booked to go to Mr Mick. I am glad we did, it was busy.

It's a lovely place to sit, cold but it smelt good in there. So if you weren't hungry, you would be once you had smelt the food.
We ordered lots of plates. I hate tapas. This is obviously not really tapas food.
We decided to have our bread and arancini first. The arancini was good. Bread is so small. Onto the chicken, which was average- not exciting. My husband said the lamb was good. The carrots were ok but mash looked like it had come from a packet.
Chips ok. Salad very good, dressing was very good.
We choose the special for dessert. It was the highlight.
The food was good. But not fabulous.
Wine was ok. Again nothing to get excited about.
The service was average!
Three people working, well only one person really working on the floor. The amazing Miss V.
The other two were hopeless.
While Miss V spun around a million times, the other two were clumsy and inefficient.
Total bill $177-
Wine included.
Would I go again.
No.
Thank you for the experience 🍷

Service was fine, friendly and prompt However the quality and value of the tapas style servings were not great.
Barramundi ($29) was a tiny portion, overcooked and swamped by a white sauce.
Moroccan spiced chicken ($26) was tough, overcooked and bland, without discernable spice.
Patatas ($14) were a success tasty and plentiful.
There are great dining options throughout the Clare Valley. Mr Micks does need to lift its game if it wants to remain competitive.

We had a car rental for the day and our travel agent had listed this winery in our suggestions to visit for the day. So glad we did. We stopped in the cellar before the restaurant opened and got to sample a few wines. Staff was super nice and friendly. We had the chef's selection for lunch. Seriously one of the best meals we had on our entire trip! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I highly recommend visiting!

Loved our meals today. Both lamb and chicken dishes were amazing. We also had the dips and pita which were very flavoursome. Service was also very good and timely as well with lovely staff. Thank you for a great lunch. Cellar door was also great and after a tasting paddle we chose a Riesling.

Today was my daughter’s 30th birthday celebration. Eight of us came with great expectations to Mr Micks, with Sophie having always wanted to eat here.
I’m afraid all eight of us were very surprised at how disappointing our experience was.
1. Sophie had asked for a paired chefs choice and only received one glass of wine.
2. The food was at best reasonable pub food, served mildly warm with the majority of it being fried. Having said that the seared tuna was fresh and the most enjoyed by all.
3. When enquiring if Sophie would receive a dairy free option when the remaining guests had deep fried halloumi we were told “no” as the capsicum dish would be too filling for her and the previous dish was the equivalent of two. That being a mushroom with couscous on it and a handful of salad greens and not at all appetising. Then we were curtly told they’d bring something out…a bowl of more salad greens with lukewarm bok choy served with canned coconut cream which was vile.
4. The pork belly was very tough and not crunchy and left by most. Most of the food was barely seasoned.
5. The staff were not attentive. When asked if we could please have another high chair on arrival, we were told I have one for you. I don’t know if we can do something with the pram though, we weren’t expecting that.
There was barely a smile and plates were not cleared. We honestly felt as though we were an inconvenience.
We were asked once if we’d like more water with one bottle given for 8. Not asked if we’d like dessert or any other wine.
6. There was no explanation of the dishes we were being served. Certainly not what we have experienced with past “chef choice dining “. And we’re not a bunch of “Karen’s”. We are a very easy going bunch and love to be with each other.
7. $63. We should have left when we first arrived and discerned it was not a welcoming place. This was something we had all saved for and really wanted it to be memorable for Soph. We’re having a bit of laugh now because it really was memorable but for all the wrong reasons.
8. When paying for the bill they tried to charge us for the pairing and then didn’t quite believe us when we said she had only received one glass.

So sad I can’t be more positive with this review.

As an addition to our review I would like to thank the manager and staff for their quick response and kindness they showed to us today when I came to meet them. They were very apologetic, listened intently and were very generous in making up for our experience yesterday. Sincerely…thank you.

Couldn’t believe how bad the food was that came out. Overcooked crab disintegrated when touched dry and overcooked. Pork crackle was like rubber and pork was dry and overcooked Very small serves and expensive. Couldn’t believe had bad it was.

We dined here with another couple recently. I ordered the moroccan chicken with cous cous and a potato dish for my husband and I to share. The waiter advised us that the dishes are tapas and designed to share and when I asked if what my husband and I ordered would be enough for us both, he indicated that it should be. We waited quite some time before our dishes finally arrived. The chicken dish consisted of four tiny slivers of chicken which wasn't even one chicken thigh and a tiny amount of cous cous. The chicken was very dry and over cooked. I would have thought that the waitress who brought out our food would be embarrassed by the tiny portion of chicken on the plate. It wasn't even enough for one person, let alone two! Our friends ordered the calamari and duck leg dishes which were well presented and were larger serves than what we ordered. Our friends paid $27.00 for the duck and $19.00 for the calamari which was better value and larger portions than what we had. We paid $26.00 for four tiny slivers of over cooked, dry chicken and $14.00 for the potato dish and were left feeling very hungry and not happy. We could have gone to the pub and had a decent size schnitzel for the same amount of money and left contented and full. I would have sent the chicken dish back but because we were dining with friends I did not want to cause a scene. We are very disappointed with the size and quality of the meals served and the price we paid. We won't be going back.

Loved this place, in the town but close to the Riesling Trail. Food was amazing, and fantastic its open 7 days a week. Attentive staff and reasonable drinks prices. We were in the restaurant but on warmer days out in the courtyard would be nice too, and outside is dog friendly. We'll be back.

Enjoyed the wine tasting, friendly and welcoming. Had the chef’s selection for lunch, loved the pork belly and chicken. Felt a little overloaded with carb dishes though, focaccia followed by deep fried calamari (very filling), followed by arancini (filling) with veges on a bed of chick peas (omg full), then chicken on a bed of couscous with bowl of baked potatoes, then came the pork belly which was great but we were so full by then. Biggest disappointment aside from the carb overload was the aioli with the potato, was wishing this was sour cream.

Great spot on a sunny day with outdoor space and lawn games for the kids. The tapas were excellent (especially the raw tuna) and the portion sizes were very reasonable - the kids schnitzel and chips were huge too (and they loved them). If you're in a rush, you might be better off somewhere else, but for a leisurely lunch don't miss it.

Good food and service relaxing in the Clare Valley Chose Mr Micks for a relaxed lunch and paired wine experience. Had the ‘Feed me’ tapas option which included some great local produce and wines. The service was high class with Sarah giving us insights into the history of the winery and restaurant. Very happy. Recommen.

Awesome meal, thanks to Sarah! Delicious wines, wonderful food... but the best was Sarah... more than a server, but our host and guide... who elevated the experience to a gourmet pairing meal! Her recommendations were spot on! What a great asset to Mr. Mick's! Thank you!

Pleasant lunch Nice pleasant outdoor seating with plenty of shade. We shared various plates of food with Pork Belly and Arancini balls being the standout. Nice wines and good service.

Mr Mick you have done it again. Amazing wines,service& food Beautiful setting under the Gum trees. Best way to taste wine & dine on their sumptuous menu. We shared had the Myrtle Crum Calamari & the twice cooked Pork belly paired with their Mr Mick’s Fiano What a lovey way to spend the afternoon

Smick Mick It's tapas style, so sharing is the best way to go. I have to say the service was excellent, staff were all very friendly and efficient. The food was absolutely delicious, but be warned, if you're on a tight budget Mr Mick is expensive. We've been here twice now and I'd recommend going with the chef's selections option for the best value.

Excellent food and wine The rose’ is light and delicate and the muscat is divine with hints of rose petals- they have a muscat spritzer which is great to sip as you eat the food. It’s tapas style and very filling- we had haloumi chips, excellent fried potatoes, pita bread with a tasty corn dip and olive tapenade, Greek salad and a pear and balsamic vinegar salad, tomato arancini, fabulously soft and creamy broccoli and feta croquettes, as well as squid and crab. All came with a variety of well made sauces and glazes. We sat outside and there was a guitar player who contributed enjoyable background music. Service was good and all in all it was extremely good.

We travelled to Clare for a birthday lunch and had the most amazing experience! Jo and Grace were great hosts and the chefs did not disappoint. We had a wide range of tapas and each meal was incredible. A few firsts but definitely not the lasts! We will be back and highly recommend to anyone visiting Clare. The ambiance, the food, the wine & beer...what's not to like. 6 stars out of 5!

We pick the chef selection & pair with Tim Adams wines. It's really a wonderful dining experience. The wine pairing (+$30) is absolutely value for money.

Dropped in for some wine tasting & lunch with friends, the tasting was very informative with some history of Clare and the vineyard. Lovely lady served us with some great recommendations.
We chose the Chefs menu for lunch and were blown away with the quality & quantity of food, we couldn’t finish it all and the very kind staff suggested boxing up the rest, we enjoyed it for dinner.
Wonderful afternoon spent there, highly recommend Mr Micks

This restaurant/winery is located quite far from Adelaide, requiring more than an hour's drive. Upon arrival, the decoration and design are nice and welcoming. You may think the drive is worth it as you browse the menu and choose your meals. However, when your food arrives, you might be surprised by the small portions. For example, paying around $24 for crab and receiving only two small pieces of a crab leg seems unreasonable.

I am baffled by the positive reviews this place has received. When I asked about the small portions, the staff were dismissive and unprofessional. The poor customer service and lack of respect were shocking. For the high prices, the food quality and portion sizes were disappointing.

I strongly recommend seeking another place. This establishment needs to learn how to treat customers with respect and listen to their concerns instead of interrupting and rolling their eyes. I will never return and would not suggest this place to anyone.

Perfect Great food extremely good service great atmosphere lovely setting good varieties much better than you average over priced pub meal

We had a delightful, tapas style lunch, sharing a few dishes between the two of us. We started with bread, olive oil and dukkah, then progressed to vegetarian croquettes, followed by the barramundi and greens. We finished with a marinated chicken dish. All very nice .We would return here again.

Not enjoyable at all. Sat outside and was annoyed by European wasps. In the end we had to leave earlier than we wanted to because they were getting quite bad. Told the waitress and all she could say was oh well we can't do anything about it. Well don't have tables outside then duh! Service was bad and slow.

Friendly and helpful staff but the food was nothing special, a bit disappointing really. The outside setting was fine, and the service was pretty good. Won’t be rushing back though.

Came for lunch and ordered the squid, arancini, duck and soft shell crab (not pictured). I highly recommend the squid, it is just the right balance between crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Food was served at a decent pace and service staff were very friendly. Would come back again :-)

A perfect day to sip wines and enjoy lunch with friends in a lovely location!
We did a tasting first - very enjoyable, with most wines available for puchase at under $20 a bottle, so reasonable!
Lunch was under the trees, on the lawn - magic!
Our group ordered Calamari, Lamb Cutlets, Aracini, Barramundi, Greek Salad and Duck!
Everything was delicious, everyone was content ????
Thank you Mr. Mick!

Outdoor dining in the shade was a bonus. Good range of sharing plates and meals were fresh and tasty. Friendly, experienced staff and food was well presented.

We had a wine tasting followed by lunch. We both decided to go the chef's selection of share plates, and it was amazing food. I'm not sure how they count their dishes, but they just seemed to keep coming. We chose our own wines by the glass, but when I asked for advice on a wine for one dish, it was an absolute beauty. If you're in Clare do not miss this place.

Me & the hubby decided to grab a late lunch after hitting the Riesling Trail and this spot was perfect. What can I say the Tapas were to die for. The young lass that served us recommended how many dishes she thought we might like to order depending on how hungry we were so we opted for 5 but I think we had eyes bigger than our belly’s as the portion sizes were surprisingly big and jam packed full of flavour. The hubby found the perfect wine, Mr Mick Shiraz so much so he decided to buy an extra couple of bottles to bring home.
The staff were really nice and very friendly who all seem to make it run like clockwork our tapas dishes came out at a steady rate and we didn’t feel rushed, it was a really relaxing dining experience thank you ???? this place is a hidden gem & I would definitely recommend it

Delish tapas for lunch, sitting in the lovely garden with mist, our dog was happy he could join. Great tasting, wines were $18 a bottle so very reasonable

A fantastic wine tasting and dinner.
Great wines.
The tapas style dinner was awesome.
Beautiful food, beautifully presented and the serving and kitchen staff were exceptional. Friendly and helpful, and really knew what they were talking about.
Thoroughly recommend everyone to get to Mr Mick and enjoy their dining experience.

Top notch! What a delightful place this is lovely ambience lovely waitpersons. Good menu true to the descriptions and very reasonable prices for the food plus the wine. The girls were chatty and friendly and very efficient. Lovely sitting outside under the trees not rushed but tapas of course is like that the time is taken to enjoy the taste and the different dishes. All in all a great and surprising experience!

Good food. Can dine outdoors. We had 5 dishes all of which were very tasty. Enough food for 2 people. I’d have rated this ‘good’ if the option existed. Probably only average because not cheap (certainly not the $ rating I read on one website) and food took quite a while to come.

Good food let down by poor service. This used to be a favourite of ours, we dined here every time we went to Clare. The last visit, we recommended it to a group of friends as well. Went with high hopes The tapas menu was good. It had a nice selection for the pescatarians and vegetarians as well. Out of the ''savoury'' items, the Mexican corn croquette with lime chilli aioli, the twice cooked pork belly and the squid were standout dishes. The barramundi with coconut yoghurt was unusual, but I enjoyed it. The first disappointment was with the desserts. We ordered the churros with chocolate sauce, the chocolate cake with raspberry coulis, and the blueberry tart. The chocolate cake turned out to be a mud cake that had absolutely no sweetness, and the raspberry coulis & coconut yoghurt were also not sweet, just adding to the woes. It didn't taste like a ''dessert''. The churros serving was huge, but the dipping sauce quantity was small (got only 1 dipping sauce, although it's advertised as coming with two sauces). The blueberry tart was average. The attitude of the staff was what spoilt the dining experience for us. There was no cheerful welcome. No one smiled- all were dour faced. Unlike in most other restaurants, no staff explained what the dishes were when we were served or came near us to inquire about whether the food was to our liking. As soon as we put the forks down, they came to collect the empty plates and wipe the table, making us feel like they were in a hurry to get us to leave. We never felt so unwelcome in a restaurant.

Best start to mini vacation. Food was absolutely delicious and the service just as good. We chose the chefs selection options and was great value. All the wine was equally good and we also purchased 4 bottles to take home after doing a tasting in the cellar door. Would absolutely love to return again thankyou.

Amazing food will fill Ur belly Nice cellar door area for wine tasting. Friendly and nice tasting. Was a nice prelude to an amazing lunch. We had the feed me selecttion by the chef's. Six dishes plus sides and salad and dessert. All good made homestyle tapas which were very tasty .We left not being able to eat another bite a great deal for $60 each.

Relaxed lunch Had a lovely relaxed lunch here. Serving a nice selection of tapas dishes for sharing and obviously an equally nice wine list. Each dish was delicious & we added a cheeky luncheon Rose’.

What an amazing experience of mouth watering tapas. So much to choose from, I had the Chefs Selection with Mr. Mick wine pairing. From the cellar door to the restaurant we had an awsome time, and look forward to doing it again.

Lovely scenic winery A beautiful winery, gorgeous building and cellar door, with a lovely fire inside. The cellar door staff were lovely, informative and gave a great tasting experience.

Lovely place to dine in and also do wine tasting as they are side by side. The foods here are all for sharing, so we ordered some. Loved the crispy pork and the chicken. The prok was really tender, and the skin was chripsy. Did not really enjoy the squid as it was very bland.

Tapas Lunch Had a great tapas lunch and good wines at Mr. Mick. Staff were friendly even though they were busy. We shared 5 tapas dishes and then a dessert. Definitely suggest booking. We will go back again.

Try the Chefs selection with Mr Mick wine to compliment the food, it's amazing ???? Trust me, you won't leave hungry and the staff are fantastic ????

Too late for lunch - platter was sorted - thanks to the lady in the tasting room Called in for lunch but restaurant wasn't taking customers (it was about 2.00pm) and we were told to try the tasting area where we could get a platter to share. The lady there was most gracious and helpful and organised a platter and a tasting for us. The cheese platters was good and we were most grateful - the wine tasting was good but the wine struck us as very average - not good enough for us to want to buy more than one bottle - a Tempranillo was our choice. Thanks to the lady who sorted out the platter - without her we would not have been particularly happy

Great lunch! Thank you Mr Micks for a delicious lunch. Our table of 6 are still in awe of the fabulous 6 course chef selected tapas and wine matching experience. Great value. Service was excellent too. We will all highly recommend to anyone visiting Clare SA.

Mr Mick, a great spot for lunch. Wow, what a surprise. Did not know what to expect. Turned out to be an experience I have raved about. Service was excellent, the food was spectacular. The wine was great and the atmosphere perfect for what we were looking. Price was not a consideration but was very pleased with bill when we left. Thankyou Mr Mick, this was quite the experience.

Relaxed tasty garden dining Great meal in the garden on a warm day, hard to find a better way to relax. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Not impressed Tapas style food. Service ok, food is bland. Seafood brought out after the heavier lamb and beef dishes. Expensive. Not recommend to go there, especially since there are so many different great places to visit at Clare.

Rather decadent lunch we relaxed with a tapas lunch with 5 excellent dishes, staff were friendly and sitting in the garden in the shade on a waarm sunny day was great. good wines to accompany the meal

Nice vibe, great outdoor space, beautiful live music. It's a nice place to stop for a good feed and bevy. I chose the Miss Molly Malone Grape Spritzer and it's yuum! Highly recommended.

Great restaurant & cellar door If the weather is good, book an outside table in the garden. Great food and wine at reasonable prices & the staff are excellent. Highly recommend.

Amazing staff, food and wine Amazing staff, amazing food and amazing place. We enjoyed our lunch at Mr Mick’s with a great selection of food and wine. Fantastic flavours in the food selection we chose and the wine is still the best. Recommend it to all

Fabulous venue and exceptional service! My husband and I were booked in for lunch at Mr. Mick Cellar Door and Kitchen (initially as part of a Riesling trail bike tour) Unfortunately I woke up that morning with a very sore back and had to ditch the bikes. We went to the restaurant to have lunch anyway. The staff , and especially the lady that was front of house, were so accommodating and mindful of the pain I was in and seated us outside in the beautiful garden setting with comfortable chairs. Nothing was a problem for them. We had the chefs selection menu and the first couple of tapas offerings which was delicious. Unfortunately by this point my back was getting much worse and we had to leave. The staff were great and insisted that they make up some takeaway containers that we could take with us. They didn’t even charge us for the two drinks we had! Could not have got any better service and would definitely recommend!

Will never missed going to Mr. Mick everytime we’re in Clare Valley. Visited here a couple of times, including my birthday - the tapas are price accommodating for me atleast. The tuna was my favorite but they’ve changed the dressing to cheese. Apart from that, all the tapas we ordered are delicious.

Nice view as well!

Great outdoor dining restaurant in Clare. Comparing to having a lunch in nearby wineries, the price here is accommodating. Love the beetroot and sweet potatoes sauces, refreshing and light tasting. Wonderful in sizzling summer. We had our lunch insider coz we scared of flys and just want to stay away from people. But personally I think everybody shoulder try to dine outside first. Eating on lawn and enjoy the view would be lovely.

Outstanding Service A huge shout out to staff who were on service on 18/12/22. Nothing was too much trouble from fitting us in as a walk in - an impromptu catchup with a friend & arranging tables to the requests we had with 3 children in tow .You were all fabulous as too was the food. Thankyou for the suggestion of the Chef 'feed me' option! We were truly blessed Thankyou again and I can't wait to come back again soon.
