Ordered Eggs Benedict this morning and was disappointed to receive a measly amount. Only one piece of toast and small amount of salmon. For $16.50 there really needs to be more volume. Such a shame, as lovely spot by the river.
Have been to the Riverview Cafe a few times over the years. Since 18 months ago have seen this place decline. The last time we ordered eggs, one plate arrived, coffees were 10mins wait, (was not busy) and the staff are not as friendly.
Been a couple of times over the past few months – nice coffee (second visit the coffee was served within easy reach of my baby and staff member didn’t seem to care when this was raised, as baby did go for it). Also really nice quinoa salad served on both occasions – more healthy delicious alternative dishes like this welcome! Great spot on the river.
Went to the riverside cafe today 28/3/16 and there were 11 of us. Fantastic food all round. Could not fault anything. The service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was really lovely by the river. Would recommend to others
what a shame such a lovely setting and such dissapointing service i work in the hospitality industry and was shocked to receive such bad service by 3 staff members firstly person front of house taking our order ….no smile no greeting NOTHING then girl that brought tea to our table NOTHING again (was begining to think we were invisible by this stage) even my thankyou was ignored then when the young man brought our meals NOTHING no enjoy your meal or anything just a grunt when we asked for some hot water food was ok very basic but filling we would not return not because of the food or lovely setting but because of the apalling service just a sugesstion get your staff some training
My husband & I ate here on a recent Sunday afternoon. I’m sorry to say that my Eggs Benedict meal was the worst I have experienced. I requested Eggs Benedict with bacon & asked for a little spinach to be added. For this I was charged a hefty $21.50 … an additional $5 over their standard price of $16.50. Whilst this is the most expensive Eggs Benedict I have ever had, it was also the most unenjoyable, of a low standard & poorly plated. I received one piece of brown toast with a huge mountain of soggy spinach placed on top along with two eggs & a meagre amount of hollandaise sauce. The bacon was placed on the side of the plate. When I received my meal, the soggy spinach had already soaked through the single piece of toast turning it to mush! The cafe is beautifully situated & service was friendly & relatively quick considering they were busy. I’m not in the habit of complaining so on completion of our meal we just left knowing that we would never return. In hindsight, I should have returned my meal. My husband had a Fish Burger & Chips & while he felt his meal was pretty ordinary for $20.50, it was OK. No complaints with the Coffee & Hot Choc.I emailed Riverview expressing my disappointment regarding my highly priced & very sub-standard meal … but they never bothered to respond.
This is the type of cafe that is popular with the older generation and so it was the choice of our parents in law 🙂 We had trouble finding the right dishes to order and ended up with some tried and true items like scrambled eggs, smoothies and the chicken/vegie soup. Apparently the eggs were tasteless (I guess maybe not free range or seasoned or both?), and my soup was ok but not what I expected (seemed more like a pesto broth with huge chunks of chicken in it). Also the first time I have seen packet butters for a long while… On a positive note, the location is fabulous, overlooking the river, and very friendly and helpful staff – would be a great place to sit outside if sunny!
