A little bit out of the way from the myriad of restaurants on nearby Melbourne Street and North Adelaide, the Kent Arms is an ideal place for a group meal. There is enough of a pub-like atmosphere to make people feel at ease, and sufficient spacing between tables to ensure a bit of privacy. The waiter we had was a real top bloke, providing friendly and energetic service – he really made us feel loved, you know? The schnitzel wasn’t particularly large, but the quality was quite high, and the taste was certainly impressive. At $17, it wasn’t a bad investment. So if you’re after a quiet meal with friends, and a quality-without-completely-filling-you-up feed, the Kent Arms would be up there on my list of recommendations. All of the other meals seemed equally tasty and well presented – there were no complaints about quality, ambience or service. A very pleasant evening.
The Verdict: Not hanging off the plate, not cheap, but not a bad meal. An enjoyable dining experience.
