Fodor's Expert Review Jolleys Boathouse

Blue canvas directors' chairs and white-clothed wooden tables create a relaxed, nautical air here—which perfectly suits the location on the south bank of the River Torrens. Sliding glass doors open onto a full-width front balcony for alfresco dining. The imaginative modern Australian menu changes seasonally, but might include a salad of grilled Kangaroo Island marron, green mango, basil, and shallots, or sweet pork belly with red dates. Executives make up most lunch crowds, and warm evenings attract couples.
