The food I ordered was very good, points to the chef as we arrived slightly later than our reservation time. The waitresses were kind and polite, directed us and assisted us with our order. However this bald guy at the entrance and checkout was extremely rude to us, talking behind our backs, he was also very rude to his staff as we were checking out he told them to shut up in front of us. Not a way anyone should be treated. Shame that such great view and food is not fully enjoyed because of one person actions and rude personality.

Saturday night at the River Cafe. Very exciting. But this time it really seemed to be lacking something. Music? Not sure. But it wasn't the same. The service was extremely poor. You usually get, highly skilled waiting staff. I guess they were at home having a long weekend rest.
So it's a 2/10 for service. You are usually made to feel special, not to be .
Ok..... so onto the food. Excellent food thankfully. At least the chef was awake. The tapas idea I wasn't sure on, but it was very nice and well priced at $12 per person. Main course excellent. Dessert not many options and really to be honest., not fantastic. Would I go again??. Maybe not in a hurry. They really need to pick up their game. Otherwise it's another fabulous restaurant finished.
Also where are the table clothes???. Not on every table and should be. Poor presentation!!
Management needs to do some work. I guess that's it.

Food was okay, and the view was lovely, but something was missing? Venue felt a bit sterile, or boring or something.

Limited menu but superb position built out over the river. The food is excellent quality and beautifully presented although the plates were not heated on the evening we dined there. Service is satisfactory but not particularly outstanding. Definitely worth a visit with free and easy parking on-site.

It was lovely. The chef could cater for vegan and lowfodmap but very, very limited as it's an Italian restaurant.
Very expensive but service is outstanding. And of course the view :)
