Northshore Harbour

Location is exceptional. Good cafe style food is tasty and presented well. Initial service on this occasion was a little tardy, but once the table order was in, 8 meals were prepared and delivered swiftly. I had eaten here for breakfast and lunch previously(more than 12 months previously) when service had been exceptional.

The food and wait staff were great. The manager was rude and grumpy towards the staff because of a cancellation. We didn’t need to hear that. It was a special occasion for our party but we weren’t asked what the occasion was.

Friendly and accommodating staff
Coffees and food were delicious
Great outlook

Great food and atmosphere with options for everyone!

Thankyou for a lovely enjoyable meal spending time with friends and family

Two of our meals were not followed through to the kitchen. Serve sizes were uneven. The air condition was condensing above diners and dripping onto our clothes and heads. Serve staff were inattentive and had to be sought out so we could order coffee. Coffee was served in front of other diners and across the table. In all not what we had previously experienced. Would DEFINITELY not rush back to see if it was a bad day experience. Generally staff appeared disinterested.

Go for the view not a culinary experience.

Really bland food. Simply no taste at all.

Reasonable coffee ✅

Could do without being served by someone covered in hickies. Surely there is some code of conduct against this?

Everything was wonderful - food, service, location! Can't wait to return.

The booking process was easy. Very comfortable well situated river front cafe; friendly helpful staff. Couldn't find an on-line menu but had been there before and knew they had vegetarian options.

Was a lovely lunch experience and would gladly recommend the cafe to a friend.

Totally accommodating! We had booked a breakfast table and couldn't get there on time. Staff were able to delay our arrival for an hour! When we arrived, I noticed I'd forgotten to ask for an outside table due to noise levels/echo inside which disturb my 86 year old father's hearing. Again staff said that they could turn the music off in our section of the dining room. As there is a playpark adjacent, our nephew was able to run in and out of the large sliding doors that open Northshore up to the outdoors - park, beach, yachts, river. Meal was delicious and the Kids menu appealed to little ones. Lovely to catch the ferry there and back! All round experience terrific!

Good food, great views, lovely setting, good parking, easy to access.

Great location. In fact a fantastic location, great food, even batter coffee. Service staff do need to visit the tables more often though.

Came for breakfast on Wednesday morning but found menu reduced significantly.
Very quiet with no back ground music which gave it no atmosphere.
Food and Coffee great as usual but overall was not a good as our last visit.

Asked for table near window about 10 days earlier. Instead table in back corner next to another large group. Tables near windows vacant as was not busy. Very noisy very two large groups near each other.
Female staff very pleasant but male kept bringing drinks and food to us which were for other table. Was told but still left meal. Later taken to other table.

Staff friendly, food good but left our empty plates way too long before clearing.

Wonderful space for our larvae gathering celebrating a special birthday!! Thank you for all your help in setting up the area to accomodate us all ...

Great location. Food and service are always good.

Fabulous family friendly dining experience.

Food and location were awesome. Next time I would book inside the restaurant as it was a little hot outside. I had been worried that we wouldn't have a view from inside but the view was excellent from there.

Food was tasty but service was slow. Also staff didn't listen to instructions when we ordered so things didn't get served as ordered. Overall our experience was okay but owners need to pay more attend to service, perhaps employ more experienced wait staff.

We love this place usually but this visit was terrible... service was slow and parts of order forgotten. We got our drinks before we even got menus to order food, the bacon was way over cooked/ almost burnt and drowning in oil/ fat on the plate.

Our order wasn't correct when it was deliveted, but the server immediately offered to rectify the error.
The location is lovely, and very convenient for a meeting place for friends from north & south of the river. Heaps of free parking.

Food was great, but service was poor. No one even bothered to give us a menu. Had to go and ask for them. Staff just did the bare minimum in terms of service. A shame as the food was great.

Splendid location. Poached eggs were overcooked and the vinegar used I assume to set the eggs, was overpowering. Scrambled eggs were more like an overcooked, dry, flat omelette all pushed together. Sausages very dry. Hope the lunches are better. No tea on the menu under Tea / Coffee. Cannot fault the location. Otherwise wouldn't return. Would not recommend the breakfast. Average coffee.

River views are pleasant and would make a lovely stop for those cruising the river on the citycats. Only problems were the failure to put the meat into the Massaman curry that only had rubbery potato and very little flavour. Dish taken away and returned with a pile of meat and another pile of rubbery potato on top of the previously served curry without even mixing into curry sauce. Failure to offer coffee after we finished dinner. Closes at 2.30 and stools were being packed up blocking our view by 2pm. Otherwise everything else was ok.

Wonderful riverside café - friendly and tasty food

Lovely staff and the most amazing breakfast. Plus it’s air conditioned.

Great location and good food in a relaxing atmosphere.

A delightful venue for a relaxed lunch. Very busy on a Sunday so suggest booking. Enjoyed the food and appreciated the patience of our waitress 98 women chatting rather than consulting the menu and ordering!!) Very enjoyable venue. Hopeful we shall return sooner rather than later.
Cheers

I love this place and have been there for a number of lunches.

Great location and food. Lovely family get together.

Fantastic location with great view of the river. Good parking options and near City Cat ferry terminal. Small nearby beach and playground for kids. Great tasting food, well presented and good portions. Service was a little slow due to crowds, so would have helped with another one or two wait staff during busy periods. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall very good restaurant and would recommend it to others.

Had the Calamari- fantastic dish and great service.

Great cafe the food and service was great!! We will be back!!!

Poached eggs were like hard boiled eggs
Very disappointed especially for the cist

Delicious food at a reasonable price, friendly and helpful staff, lovely atmosphere, easy parking and a great location for meeting up when a large group is coming from every direction.

A very amenable atmosphere in peaceful quiet surroundings.

Great service and great value for money; comfortable decor and clean facilities.

Lovely location, we had a beautiful breakfast here and will be back to try the lunch menu in the holidays!

I would recommend this cafe to friends and family. We had a group of 14 and all said they were very happy with their meals. Choice was very good - caters for all. Staff friendly. Looking over the river watching the City Cats and boats going up and down the river is peaceful. Cool breezes coming off the water. Parking is excellent.
