Riverside Restaurant

We can't recommend this Restaurant highly enough, the Chef ,Gabriel came to our table when my husband wanted an entree that wasn't on the menu.
He asked what he wanted, went through all the ingredients and made it exactly as he asked, beyond amazing!
It was my Birthday and un known to us two waitresses appeared at our table with an amazing dessert platter while one waitress sang Happy Birthday.
Memorable evening. Can't say enough about it......

Very nice food, just the main course was too much quantity for us.

but was really good taste and service.

I couldn't see river view on that day due to construction.

I hope i can see nice view next time

On Saturday evening there was also the Pikes brewery/winery degustation event in the restaurant, it would have been better if the event had been held in one of the many conference rooms, and left the restaurant to diners not attending the event.

Staff were focussed more on the Pikes event which meant longer than normal in having orders taken etc, we have eaten in the Riverside Restaurant before and had very good service, hence the reason we chose to eat there again for our anniversary, this was not the normal service we have experienced before and we could have gone to many other restaurants and received similar service.

Food was good but overall a disappointing occasion for us spoilt by the mixing of an event with those who want a more pesraonl occasion.

Thank you for a very enjoyable evening. The stand out was the friendly and professional service of your staff and Maître d’.

Outstanding dinner and service is excellent Thank a million

We four enjoyed our luncheon meals which were delicious and the staff were very attentive and pleasant. We will definitely recommend the Riverside to friends and family.

Exceptional, food, service and atmosphere.
Staff where impeccably presented, well mannered and professional at all times!

I thought since its classed as Fine dining we should've had table cloths.

Lovely meal, great service, would recommend this restaurant, for sure....

Service was excellent by the wait staff. Food was delivered promptly. Told that slow cooked lamb shoulder would not be ready until after 7, as show commenced at 7.30 was unable to order. Sirloin steak, resembled a sizzle steak - very thin, and not a particularly nice cut. Beans ordered as a side were unpleasantly al dente. Overall food was well below value for money.

Everything was outstanding. The staff were all so polite and helpful. Catered to our large group perfectly. Have already recommended to others to go here.

Great venue and very attentive to my groups needs. Accommodated food allergies with flair and made my celebrations go smoothly without hitch.

As always food and service outstanding, large table of people arrived around 7pm and it did start to get louder and we left a bit earlier that planned.

A wonderful place for a meal before heading off to the theatre. We will be back!

Overall the food was a little disappointing.
We had eaten here on many occasions.
Barramundi was over cooked... very mushy but skin was crispy though. French fries were soggy.

Bring back the buffet!!! Like the good old days!

Waiting staff was a bit overboard.... in your face while you’re eating and talking. Not attentive if you needed a top up of your wine which I had to mentioned to them.

we stayed Friday to Sunday a Winter-staycation, we had Lunch on Friday two Breakfasts and Saturday Dinner.

we highly recommend your Staff for their services, it is a great pleasure to attend your River Side restaurant, we will meet again.

perhaps for High coffee on a Saturday afternoon

A great place to dine before a show with a perfect location near both Adelaide Convention center and Festival theatre in walking distance. Staff are great, very attentive yet discrete.
Good was stunning and delicious.
Remember to give yourself plenty of time to enjoy the experience before a show as you won't be the only ones taking advantage of the location.
Fantastic night.
Thanks

Great staff, excellent service. Good atmosphere for a quiet lunch.

We celebrated our daughter’s 4th birthday. Service was good and we are happy with the lunch menu. We ordered a cake and it was delicious. Only thing was we were charged twice for the cake which was refunded upon notifying. Great place for any special occasions.

Riverside Restaurant was visited a couple of times whilst I was on a business trip recently - slightly noisy due to external building works that were being undertaken, but otherwise quite a pleasant environment to sit and enjoy a business conversation of just conduct some private business whilst enjoying a terrific breakfast or lunch.

12 friends with my wife and myself enjoyed lunch high tea on Sunday 9th June, the food and service was excellent.
The only complaint we had was the pumpkin soup, we said to the waiter that the soup had a fish taste and was there seafood in the soup. The waiter said he would check with the kitchen, he advised us that the chef said they used a fish stock in the pumpkin soup.
One of our guests doesn’t eat seafood and wouldn’t eat the soup, they did offer her another dish.
I don’t understand why the waiting staff were not informed the the pumpkin soup that was normally vegetables soup had a base of fish stock.
When I phoned and complained to the staff and informed them what had happened they said we would have been advised what was in the soup and offered a vegetarian option. This was definitely not the case. This should have been bought to our attention because a person in our group could have had an allergy to seafood and wouldn’t have exspected a seafood base in a pumpkin soup.

I love dining at Riverside as they are respectful of my dietary requirements.
I was celebrating a birthday and they made me a beautiful " happy birthday " chocolate message with pretty flowers.
They also took a photo of me absolutely super as i look so natural one of the best ever taken of me.

one small point when i book on line it does not tell Riverside that i am booking high coffee instead of high tea.

High tea was fabulous, we felt very spoilt!

The service & the food was excellent.outstanding menu which you could choose & there was a lot to choose from the buffet.went out with friends & would go again with my husband sometime.

Food and service was great. For high coffe I was expecting more interaction about coffee. Explamations of coffee origins and the different varieties and tastings etc. Otherwise just a nice lunch.

Nice wine with the lunch menu deal. Pity there wasn't more people there for added atmosphere.

The event was great just a but disappointed were we sat as was a bit drafts & colder area but overall great

Food was ok, service was great. Environment needs an upgrade, very 80s style

The High Tea was pleasant and of a good standard however when purchasing the voucher we upgraded to the better quality Mumm Champagne. When arriving we were automatically served the cheaper champagne. The error was corrected but only after we mentioned it.

We then wanted a second glass of champagne and were told that it would be at a price of $30 per glass which is ridiculously excessive for Mumm champagne. We were then informed that we could only buy a bottle. Needless to say we declined.

High tea to celebrate a birthday.
Food was very nice and plentiful for 2 people. Window seat would be lovely on a sunny winters day.

Great service at Riverside. I really enjoyed a late night meal around 8 pm on a week night.

Our Mother's Day High Tea was fantastic; my mother had such a great time and was made to feel very special by the staff as well as me! The High Tea was very elegantly presented and very nice. The touch of having a gift given to each of us was also lovely. I would highly recommend this place for a special occasion. The High Tea was expensive I thought but understandable given the special day, unlimited champagne, tea and coffee.

Amazing staff, atmosphere was relaxing, great selection of food, all 6 of us were very happy and everyone found something they wanted to eat!
Great price, would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a nice breakfast or even dinner :)

Fantastic service and environment.
Best buffet breakfast I have had!

Delicious! Great music. Friendly staff, need more kid friendly music at times. Clean chairs and floors, almost perfect, expect the few chairs and spots on floors.

Excellent food and service! Although there is some construction going on nearby its impact on the ambience of the restaurant was negligible.

Everyone who attended enjoyed the experience. Family who had recommended other places for High Tea made the comment that this was better than their recommendation.

We had a surprise 50th High Tea at the Riverside Restaurant and the quality of service we received from the staff was amazing. We were lucky enough to have Olivia look after our table and she couldn't do enough for us. From the time we got there until the time we left, Olivia was there looking after us.
Would highly recommend the Riverside Restaurant for any function.

Very yummy food and an excellent choice of everything for great value. Have been a few times and will keep caming back.

We ate here before the theatre which worked quite well.
There is no view, it’s in the middle of a construction site, the blinds were down & there is little ambience.
The service was poor & inexperienced.
We did eat early & it seemed they weren’t ready for us even though we had booked 2 weeks before.
The food was very ordinary & my husbands quinoa salad made him I’ll.
It’s just an ordinary restaurant in a big tired hotel in a good location.
