   Was disappointed I couldn't try the Fish soup special but loved the Minestrone. Will be back. Thank you

   The River Deck CafeResponded 2 days agoThank you for taking the time to leave us a review Jenny! As you saw, both our soup and our house baked pie do change constantly, though we do like to go back to some of our guest favourites, so we may see it return to our menu at some point!

   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 6 days agoHi 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!

    Beautiful location, and food arrived hot and nicely presented. I didn’t love the dish (I found the flavours unbalanced) but it was made of fresh ingredients and beautifully presented. The service is always welcoming and attentive, but not as good this time as I am used to. I’ll be back, I know this was an aberration

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. :-)
