    The lunch menu was extensive and reasonably priced and the food was good . The overall experience was, however, quite lack lustre. My group of four ordered our meals altogether and one meal came out within a reasonable timeframe. However we then waited for a good 20 minutes and had to enquire where the others meals were before the other meals appeared . When you go out with friends to dine the expectation is that you all receive your meals at the same time so you may dine together. The restaurant was only 40% full so being busy could not have been the reason why the service was below par. Hoping this review offers the necessary feedback so improvements can be made to service in order for patronage to be maintained.

    A great time spent with friends. As usual, the ukulele band rocked the place with great music.

    Had a lovely Sunday lunch paddles with a group of seven. The food was very nice--fresh, tasty, and well-priced for the quality. We appreciated the choice of dining inside or outside, and the river view added a relaxing touch to the afternoon. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. Would definitely recommend a casual lunch or catch-up with friends.

    Mothers Day 2025 Food was excellent. We ordered prawn & mango tacos & arracini balls in sauce for the 4 of us to share which were going to be difficult to eat without making a mess. I asked the restaurant manager for small plates & was rudely told "you don't get plates because they are shared plates." Next our dessert came out before our main meal. When we told the waiter we hadn't received our mains he put the dessert on the table anyway and said "I was just told to bring it out" He left & another waiter bought out our mains. We said that the dessert was going to be melted before we finished our mains so he said he would put it in the fridge until we were ready for it. I understand this is a busy day for restaurants but these are basics if you're running a restaurant. The customer service standard here really let's down the standard of the food served and as first time diners at this restaurant, sadly, we won't be returning.

    Food was quick to come out! Sad it was a special Mother’s Day menu but also understand that it was for the benefit of clients. Beautiful setting and I’ve never had a bad meal here!

    Booked for Mothers Day Breakfast. Service was really good and food was great, seating was bit primative with the park bench out back but was still comfortable with great river views. Will be visiting again.

    A busy Mother's Day breakfast. Hash browns were overcooked, too crisp and little potato to be found. Other than that, food and service was great. The waiter especially was so accommodating and cheerful. The wait time for coffee/hot chocolate drinks following breakfast was too long. Overall, a great breakfast.
