We did not have a reservation on a busy Saturday Lunch time but staff were able to get us a table outside, it got pretty windy where we were sitting so staff found a table inside for us, very helpful staff. Food was yummy and came out promptly. Will visit again.

The staff were nice and it’s a great view but the food wasn’t good at all. We had breakfast and all 4 of us were not happy with our different dishes. Such a shame because it’s a great location and has so much potential

In and out in literally 2 minutes. Entered with a menu on the side table, left hand side with a note next to it “15 % extra on public holidays “ had a look at the menu and looked around to know how things work, saw a small queue at what looks like a service bar. Took the menu there and asked the woman behind the counter the counter who was very abrupt, rude saying “this is not how it works, you sit down and we take the orders, etc” and literally we left the menu and walked out. You can have the best location and food but at the end of the people can make or break a place. You need someone to meet people at the door taking them to the tables and explaining what to expect. Besides of course not being rude which is ABC Hospitality. From the quick look at the menu , prices seemed ok in addition to the 15% ، you would think that place must be great. What a disappointment and never again . Went to another restaurant “Riviera” you can tell the difference the moment you step in the place when you are met with a smile and great service, great food.

I was really disappointed with my meal here. The food quality was poor and the lettuce on my plate was not washed properly — it still had mud on it. This is very concerning for hygiene and food safety. Unfortunately, it made the whole dining experience unpleasant. I hope the café takes this feedback seriously and improves their food preparation standards.

This is a very nice place by the river on the west side. The drinks were amazing, my Negroni was perfect. We also tried the chocolate martini and the mojito and both were very very good The pizza is coal oven baked and tased Devine. The pumpkin salad was delicious and unique, the used acorn squash with quinoa and hummus, it was also very filling The view is also very nice and there is a playground outside for kids The only downside is that they didn't have a changing table for babies which seems like a pattern in Australian restaurants (I don't know where those people get their babies changed)
