We returned to the River Cafe after some time, due to many factors not associated with the restaurant, which we had found to be of a high standard. It continues to be an excellent restaurant. With the very generous discount, it was also great value. We will be back in the very near future.

Delicious food - very comprehensive menu - best barramundi ever. Gorgeous location- would highly recommend this little gem! Easy parking is a bonus.

Restaurant is tired. Menus lack excitement and mainly pasta. I had the Marinara, it was expensive and had no sauce, no fish and no squid, just a few prawns and mussles. Service was also average by a newly trained uni student. Not recommend.

River Cafe (Owner)

Oh dear this is not what we like to read we prefer the claps and lip smacks received from the table on the night. No Uni students either, even so John we all have to start somewhere. Quick efficient and friendly is what we offer and you were not left wanting on the evening. We take your comments on board and thank you for choosing us on the Fork 30 percent discount offer for your anniversary.

Brilliant as always. Our ‘go to’ place for any special occasion because it is always good. Of course for any occasion as well. Food was delicious, tasty and so fresh,. Special plate with my husband’s birthday wishes

The staff were very welcoming and the waitress was brilliant. The food was delicious - we chose to share the tapas menu, which was a good choice. We shared 6 of the tapas dishes, which were thoroughly enjoyed by all. We will be back!

This was our first visit to the restaurant. It was a great view and good menu choices despite not everything available. The decor was nice but the furniture a little outdated and could do with an upgrade. Food was very well presented. I had octopus ceviche which was d

Excellent venue for casual meal or special occasion. Never disappoints. It is our “go to” place for special occasions like our wedding anniversary last night. Always recommending to others

The food was fantastic. Great entrees and lovely mains. The negative was the “noisy-ness” of the room. Not very busy but two tables each had someone who thought we all wanted to hear what they had to say. We didn’t.

River Cafe (Owner)

Great to hear you enjoyed your meal. Perhaps we can seat you where we think it is best next time. We have made a note with your details for your next visit. Regards river management.

I always like coming to the River Cafe. Fantasic service with a beautiful setting. Great for a group of 4-5 (may have trouble hearing if you have more). Food is noramly a 9/10 for me but this time is was more of a 7/10. Pasta and Chicken were yummy, but the veal was meh. Salt n pepper squid is the best!

River Cafe (Owner)

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry you didn’t enjoy your first try of a classical saltimbocca and that it also wasn’t what was expected. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

We had a lovely night. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was very nice however, as pescatarian/vegetarians, there weren’t quite enough options for us. Otherwise I would recommend it.

Wait staff had a poor knowledge of wine and how to decant it. Apart from that, generally service was good. The food was amazing.

The windows were filthy and apparently the male toilet smelt really bad of urine , food was average and over priced but service was good

River Cafe (Owner)

Thank you for using your discount voucher with us. The windows are professionally cleaned however rain drops marks were visible on Saturday evening hardly filthy by any standards and out of our control. The rest rooms are also cleaned daily and we will look into your comments. We pride ourselves in offering value dishes freshly prepared by our team of chefs. We have not passed on the recent food cost increases in full and a good look around at our competitors will confirm this. We find it difficult to understand how thirty dollars is expensive in todays climate when lots of venues have fixed menus We are disappointed you found your chicken premium Angus steak and garlic bread average and wish you had commented on the evening.

It's a great venue, but I had hoped that we would be seated where we could have a proper view of the city, rather than to the car park. The food and the staff were good. I found the whole process of organising the dinner for 16 people a little awkward, as I wasn't able to just add a set amount to the per head cost for coffees, so everyone who had coffee had to go and pay for them at the end of the evening. I would still go back there.

River Cafe (Owner)

Glad to hear you had a good time As explained to fit so many on one table this can only be in one location completely along the eastern side with the water feature and a rifle view to the city. We are fortunate every table has a view. Beverage packages are available as on our web site however A la carte beverages were chosen for the table and an itemised account provided

Food and service consistently the best. I always dine at River Cafe when visiting Adelaide and when I arrived for dinner wonderful to be welcomed as a former guest. The restaurant was fully booked for Christmas parties and same high standards maintained. Well done and thanks.

Thank you for your review I will pass on to all concerned

All 6 of us enjoyed the food & service in a fantastic setting. We had a variety of meals and each was rated very highly. Sadly we missed out on the dessert but had coffee & affogato instead.

The restaurant is quite lovely. The food is very good, however the serves are a little small. The service was very good. Can’t complain about anything. Have been going there for years.
