Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Waited over 50 minutes for a pizza. Then came out and said the chef had dropped the pizza we had ordered. Understaffed. The only plus point was that there was inside seating out of the wind.

Do yourself a favour and go the lemon curd pancakes!!! BEST EVER. I live in Mandurah and I have travelled a few times just to have them for breakfast. Plus good coffee and a sunny river view. What more could you want! 10/10!

Sitting by the Swan River this is a great place to have breakfast. We ordered the Riverside Grande breakfast which was a good size, fresh and tasty. Staff were friendly. Only reason I gave 4 stars was because we order fried eggs and got scrambled.

Asked for chicken burger which comes with sambal sauce. Specifically asked that there be no mayo. Had a discussion about it in fact. 45 mins they said. Restaurant half full. 55 mins later we had to force the food to takeout. No sambal, loads of...mayo. And bad food. This is my second review ever but this was so catastrophically bad it warrants comment.More

Went there a week ago for dinner the place was empty as . It was very windy that the ceiling lights was hitting everywhere but no one noticed. Place our order then picked a corner table so we don’t get the strong wind. Took 30...minutes to get the drinks then the manager came and said we are switching off the coffee machine (at 19.45 ) if you want coffee order now then we had not even got our drinks. When the meal arrived in front of us there was no cutlery serviette I had to go and get them. The meals was basically old reheated left over the beef satay was so dried cooked too many times.vegetarian curry was off and it was like a soup… Small served for the price they charged I would highly recommend Mac Donald to this place .. Don’t let them spoil your day/ evening go somewhere else. This place is not a restaurant should not be allowed to operate for what disgusting food they serve.. DJ was there to help you get the dreadful meal down your throat….More

Had a good time at this nice cafe by the river. Serves some food also (fish and chips, steak, wagyu burger). Not the cheapest but overall worth it! Beware of the seagulls!

Ordered 5 brunches. Nothing complex and straight off the standard menu. Of the order 2 came out wrong. I ordered salmon Benedict came out with bacon and poached eggs on toast with avacado came out sans the avacado. The waitress taking the order seemed very...distracted by a group who were ordering shots and cocktails close by.More
