River Cafe

Went to the River cafe for their Spring three course menu. We were welcomed by a bubbly young lady who made you feel welcome. Escorted to our seats and then served cold still water on a 40 degree day We started off with home made focaccia with olive oil and candied balsamic. Next came a tasting plate of mozzarella and pea arancini, sticky balsamic belly and crostini. For the main meal I ate the pork cutlet with vegetable soffritto, spiced yoghurt, kohlrabi and cider jus. My partner ate the potato gnocchi which was house made with royal blue potato, gorgonzola sauce, spinach and walnuts. Both main meals we shared and were both excellent. I have never tasted better gnocchi than today. Desert was limoncello cheesecake. I also had a light beer. Quick and friendly service. Great scenes of Torrens river and the city. About 25 people dining and I believe they all had this menu. At $39 a head it was excellent value. We have been here on a couple of occasions and always enjoyed the food. Today's food went above and beyond

Awesome city and river views from the restaurant! Food is equally awesome! Tapas platter was nice and can be shared between 2 to 3. Barramundi fillet - Boston Bay Mussels - Dessert - Panna cotta with orange, cardamom, oat granola berry compote and Persian fairy floss 🤤 🤤 #rivercafeadelaide #cityandriverviews #yummyfood #barramundi #bostonbaymussels

UPDATE: we stopped going here after the food quality deteriorated. We were served uncooked risotto (on 19 June 2020) etc. No longer seems worth the expense. Sad cos it's a nice place. Photos below are from 2018. ** Never disappoints. Food is delicious. Service a little slow sometimes but definitely worth the wait. Very nice river views. Clean and well laid out restaurant. Bar with sitting area. Friendly, professional staff. Reasonable amount of parking with the option of a riverside stroll after dinner.

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.

Had an anniversary luncheon at this venue recently ...not mine but a rellie. Setting - was just gorgeous....food was amazing, and the waitress was a great conduit between the kitchen and the guests, looking after both ends of things with a generous dollop of panache. Definitely recommend having a meal here, if you haven't before. I will be back. With thanks.
