Niña

From the very first moment I stepped into Nina, I was greeted with a warm, genuine welcome that immediately set the tone for what turned out to be a truly memorable dining experience. Even as a solo diner visiting the area for work, I felt completely at ease in this gorgeous establishment. The decor is a perfect blend of modern elegance and cozy charm – stylish without being pretentious, with thoughtful touches that make the space feel both inviting and refined. The service was outstanding throughout the evening. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, the staff not only made me feel comfortable dining alone but also offered thoughtful suggestions that truly enhanced the meal. Every single dish I tried was exceptional, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. It’s clear that each plate is crafted with both skill and passion. Nina is an absolute must-visit. To top off the meal, I indulged in their basque cheesecake and I can confidently say it was one of the best I’ve ever had. Creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced – the ideal sweet finish to an already flawless evening. I’ll definitely be back!!

Overall, we had a pretty good experience at Niña. One of our tapas (tuna) was a bit of a miss (individually, the ingredients were good, but it didn't really work all together). The only other criticism was the lack of ventilation. We were sat on high seating near the bar (even though there were lots of free tables for our entire duration) and copped all the smoke / smell from the kitchen. That being said, everything else was very good. We particularly enjoyed the jamon flatbread and half chicken for main. We ate here at a discount which was worth the $ but not sure if I would pay full price. Worth considering.

The ambiance and plating at Nina are refined, and the service was polite, but the overall execution of the dishes did not meet expectations—especially considering the price point. Here’s a breakdown of what I ordered: Hokkaido Scallop, yuzu-chilli butter, jamon: The scallop itself was fine, but the addition of jamon felt unnecessary and overwhelmed the delicate seafood flavor. Tuna Escabeche Tostada, Avocado, Guindilla: Very average—nothing particularly memorable. Txangurro Crab, Saffron, Chilli, Nori: The bread component was well done, but the sauce was overpowering and masked the natural sweetness of the crab. Jamon Flatbread, Mozzarella, Hot Honey, Espelette: The flatbread was well made, but the mozzarella wasn’t melted, making it hard to combine with the bread. The espelette looked nice but didn’t add any flavor. Cauliflower: Surprisingly the most balanced and enjoyable dish of the night. MS3+ Flank Steak: Served cold. After notifying the staff, it was reheated—but that turned the medium-rare steak into well-done, ruining the texture and flavor. Lost all interest in trying dessert after that. If you have high expectations when it comes to food, Nina may not be the best choice. At this price point, there are definitely better options in Adelaide.

A hidden gem worth discovering! I stumbled across Ñina by chance. It’s a cozy, elegant, and modern Spanish spot with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. I wasn’t super hungry, so I didn’t order a lot, but everything I tried was absolutely delicious.

From the moment we arrived until the second we left, our experience at Nina was superb. The food and service were wonderful and some special touches from staff made our 21st Wedding Anniversaty truly memorable. Thank you. We can't wait to come back!

The restaurant is located in the Adelaide CBD. The staff were super friendly and professional, and the service was good. I really liked the decor and the table setting. Their number of options for you to choose, we picked the set menu. Normally, with a set menu, you rely on the chef to bring you a selection of dishes. The combination of the dishes, based on my experience, was not quite balanced. I should add that the roast chicken was cooked to perfection. I really enjoyed the grilled cheese and the bone marrow butter. Next time, I will try to pick up the items myself. All in all, it was a nice experience, although within that price range, I was expecting a bit more in terms of flavor profile and items.

Loved this new Spanish inspired restaurant. Everything we ate was delicious and couldn't fault any of it. I loved that there was lots of options and the food wasn't too heavy but still generous. Hard to pick a fav. But the jamon toast was to die for, the Pedro brussels and the tuna tartare were also delicious. The Basque was also a great way to end the meal. Will be back for sure!
