   This would be our most visited restaurant and especially when we have visitors from out of town. This time we were there at Noon but our food didn't arrive until 12.45 which was a little disappointing as we got there early to get ahead of the rush. We are older. Our final waitress was excellent but the first one seemed to forget about us. OI hope that this is helpful as I am not wanting to be critical.

   The River Deck CafeResponded 2 days agoHi Peter, thank you for the review, and for your feedback! It is always helpful and very much welcomed! Our new front of house team, and junior staff are currently working through their training, and are making great strives in learning everything that is expected of them! We appreciate how kind and patient our guests are with our new members as we strive to deliver you the best experience we can. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Warm regards; ~James

   Scrambled eggs lacking flavour and hollandaise sauce not tangy at all and lacking flavour and served in a small pour jug. Hotcake doughy and flavourless. Would have been better with apple/cinnamon compote as a side along with a side of maple syrup. Also the candied walnuts were not really candied walnuts that I have ever had and were much too large with what looked like super coated in brown sugar. Not pleasant to eat. The last few times I have eaten here has not been great food for value wise, which is a shame as it used to be.

   The River Deck CafeResponded 3 days agoThank you Jenny, we always welcome feedback from guests, though our FoH team had not received any on the day during their meal check, or any point thereafter. We appreciate our guests personal tastes vary, and our team are here to assist with menu suggestions, information, or help with any concerns you may have with your experience with us at the time, as opposed to after the fact. Please don't hesitate to discuss with us in person in future, as we are all here to help! Kind regards; ~James

    I always enjoy lunches and coffees here. The views are simply the best in Albury-Wodonga. The service is always brisk, polite and helpful. I am looking forward to a new (spring/summer????) menu. Would make the experience just perfect.

    The River Deck CafeResponded on July 24, 2022Thank you for the review Rachel! We can not deny the beautiful view we're so lucky to be able to share with all of our guests! We're forever changing and updating our menu every several weeks, our current menu we have been running for the past month, and updated a number of dishes last week, so you will more than likely find something new or different to entice you every few visits!

    Food was average. The flat bread and dips….hmmm The bread was rubber like, the pumpkin hummus had burnt taste. The tempura prawns were well and truly cooked, over cooked.

    The River Deck CafeResponded on July 24, 2022Thank you for the review Craig. As we discussed on the day, the flavour you were getting from the pumpkin hummus was the tahini which is made from toasted ground hulled sesame. Though omitted from your review was that we had happily taken the item off the bill for you, after the team had offered an alternative meal from our menu. We appreciate that personal tastes of our guests vary, which is why we always happily assist with any table that feels their selection has not met their expectation!

    Coffees were good but we ordered 3 cakes and all were underwhelming. The Orange and Poppyseed cake was inedible. It was a horrible, wet texture but tasted incredibly stale. The muffin had ridiculously huge chunks of quince in it, and the Rocky Road was not what we expected. Nice cafe but food was all left uneaten.

    The River Deck CafeResponded on July 20, 2022Hi Coffeelover, thank you for the review, we are always happy to receive feedback from our guests, though had you taken the time to speak to one of the front of house team members in person on the day? Our team are well trained to assist you with any questions or concerns that you may have. If an item isn't up to your particular taste or our usual standard, we are more than happy to help at the time, rather than hearing about it after the fact where we are unable to help you.

    The breakfast menu is very limited & quite expensive. My eggs on toast was listed at $12, but an extra $1 was added to have them scrambled, not mentioned on the menu & not discovered by us until we had paid. Bacon was an extra $6, $5.50 for wilted spinach, plus hollandaise was extra as well. By the time you make up a classic eggs bene, the cost is around $30!! The staff were friendly, but service was slow, it took more than 45 minutes for our breakfasts to arrive. We did book, but it wasn't busy when we arrived. Coffee was nice. We would have enjoyed an egg & bacon roll with coffee, sitting by the river more than the experience we had at The Riverdeck. We won't be going back.

    The River Deck CafeResponded on June 22, 2022Hi Chris! Had you discussed your concerns with our team on the day? They're here to help you navigate our menu with any questions! Upon reviewing our system your sitting is logged in at just over an hour, and I could not find any waits over 20min that morning. Our menu does stipulate all charges (inc. scrambled in both the eggs dish and sides descriptions) As you noted, when creating your own dishes charges will vary the more sides you order and all prices are reflective of current costs. ~James

    Entree of crayfish with miso overcooked but well presented. Main course of barramundi badly presented with too many chips under the piece of fish- looked like it was just thrown together Main course of murray cod OK but too many side dishes on plate Desert of creme caramel almost solid and swimming in a sauce Overall not value for the money demanded and kitchen needs to improve

    The River Deck CafeResponded on May 27, 2022Hi Grahamb, had you addressed your thoughts with the team on the day? I'm sorry to hear you feel the barramundi wasn't presented in a way you had expected, it's a substantial dish to cater for our diners that enjoy that preference! Our Crème Caramel is not like panna cotta and does hold a firm body to it, and the sauce it's bathed in is the rich caramel sauce. We're forever changing up our menu, and hope you find something to your liking on your next visit! Warm regards; ~James

    Overall experience was quite good. It was noisy inside though. The food was good but comparable to other cafes in the area. Overpriced for breakfast. Other cafes are at least $5 to $10 cheaper. I would suggest The River Deck get a separate coffee machine for their takeaway orders so that their seated diners aren't left waiting like we were.

    The River Deck CafeResponded on May 27, 2022Thank you for the review Kellie! We can get quite busy which gives the venue quite an energetic atmosphere! We do source a lot of our produce from local suppliers, and price our menu accordingly, and as you experienced on the rare occasion there are days where large numbers of people do like to enjoy the beautiful weather down in the surrounding parklands, and on this occasion it has caused an extra wait on those deliveries for a time! We do hope that you enjoyed your meals and drinks alike!

The 2020 Hesketh Pinot Noir was superb. The waitstaff for our table was a trainee and did a lovely job. Attention was spot on. Service with a smile all the way. :-)

    The River Deck CafeResponded on April 30, 2022Thank you Robyne for your warm review! You have certainly picked some fan favourites from our current menu to try (the crayfish and miso croquette is one I can never go past personally!) We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your experience with us, and that our young trainees looked after you, they have bee doing a wonderful job and are a great addition to the team! I'll be passing on your comments to them, and we all look forward to welcoming you back with us again soon! Warm regards; ~James

    Bacon let the side down! Not crispy and barely cooked. Otherwise lovely meal and atmosphere.

    The River Deck CafeResponded on April 24, 2022Thank you Sandra for your review. We cook our bacon completely for service, had you discussed with your waitstaff upon ordering your meal regarding your personal preference to having your bacon cooked crispy? We are always more than welcome to accommodate our guests preferences upon request! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Warm regards; ~James
