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.

We visited this place on our first day in Perth when we were exploring the city and it’s waterfront. We did a quick lunch sitting outside although the weather was a bit wet. The staff was very friendly and the food we had (a cheeseburger and the fish & chips) was really just good (perfect value for money, certainly considering the location being on the waterfront).

I needed a walk-in option for a group of 14 with no notice on a Saturday night for dinner. The Riverside team accommodated us immediately on the terrace over the river, putting together multiple tables for us to all sit together. The service was great and we all selected and enjoyed wines, beer and food from the menu, with praise for every dish we ordered. Thanks for a great evening.

We had a delicious breakfast here. One of the cleanest restaurants I’ve ever eaten in. The full breakfast was very generous and they use really great ingredients. The most interesting was the home made hashbrowns. Fantastic!

When it transpired that they didn’t have what we thought they had on the menu, I decided just to have some toast. Ordered the fruit toast. The coffee eventually came but when the toast came it was plain sourdough, not fruit. I pointed this out and they undertook to correct this. It wasn’t clear why everything took so long as it wasn’t busy. Anyway, by the time the blessed toast arrived my coffee was cold. I did point this out but it was as if he pretended not to hear me. I grumpily ordered another coffee. Then I ordered it a second time. By the time it actually arrived, the morsel of my toast I’d preserved to have with a hot coffee was cold. The butter was I think unsalted which I dislike but I accept that’s a matter of taste. Hopeless. The coffee wasn’t bad so I’ll give them two stars rather than one star.

We are not quite sure why you expected your coffee and food to be served at the same time. Your guest ordered a cooked breakfast and you ordered the toast. Your coffees were delivered and later The food selections were delivered at the same time. The error was pointed out, we apologised and the Chef immediately put the fruit bread on the grill, as soon as it was toasted, it was delivered to your table - it couldn’t happen any quicker.

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….

The location is superb. Breakfast was overpriced with tiny supermarket chipolatas, cremated bacon , however the hash brown was good. Wife had scrambled egg soup, like seriously swimming in liquid

Chipolatas are small sausages. We buys ours from WA’s foremost sausage maker and list our bacon as crispy. Some customers ask specifically for their bacon not to be crispy and we oblige. Similarly some lie well cooked eggs, and we oblige. But thank you for dining with us.

Unsure where to pick for dinner in Perth, my daughter and I decided to try the Riverside Cafe and Restaurant. They’re friendly and attentive enough, although our waitress asked us three times what we meant by medium to well for our steaks. We had the special which was steak, chips and salad with a garlic butte. Whilst the steak wasn’t quite what we asked for it was still delicious and so was the rest of the meal. Lovely sitting by the water, staff attentive, overall a nice night.

We stayed at the Ritz Carlton for 3 nights and found this Cafe, first for lunch then returned for breakfast. The food was generous in size but not to much, full of flavour and served by ultra friendly staff. A beautiful location right on the water overlooking the boat jetties and surrounded by all the attractions of Elizabeth Quay. This find was a gem and we will certainly be back. Highly recommended

This cafe has a great location on the Barrack St Jetty in Elizabeth Quay. Located next to the jetties you can sit both inside and outside overlooking the river. I only had coffee on this occasion but it was pleasant to sit here and enjoy the gentle breeze, whilst taking to friends. Staff are friendly and service was quick.

After waiting over 30 mins for a kids meal and a serve of chips we were very disappointed with the kids meal. Menu states Chicken tenders and chips, 2 x tenders, chips and a drink for $14. When the meal came out there was a handful of chips and 1 tender. When I complained the explanation I received was ‘it depends on the weight of the tender’ When I pointed out the menu said 2 tenders the manager continued to repeat herself saying depends on the weight, if we wanted 2 it would be more like a nugget or goujon.

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.

We are as disappointed as you that you did not receive the meals that you wanted. As a rule we always read back each meal as ordered, giving the opportunity for the customer to correct or change. However we only take 1 order at a time so there is no possibility that anybody else was distracting the order taking. We must also point out that we do not serve shots.

Popped in for coffee and cake. Refused cash. No decaf available for my mum. The waitress was yelling at a young male waitor in front of everyone. The coffee was cold. The home made carrot cake was very unpleasant to eat. I returned it and I was spoken to rudely and offered no alternative option or money back. Very bad customer service.

There's something very disturbing about a person when they feel it is necessary to post on multi social media sites because they are unhappy about a piece of carrot cake - especially when its our best selling house made cake. And yep, we do not serve decaf and we don't like taking cash at the moment.

We arrived in Perth to stay on Hay Street on Good Friday that appeared to be ‘closed’ On Saturday we set off to find somewhere to hav breakfast and eventually found this lovely cafe/restaurant. We ordered toasted muesli with yoghurt and fruit and a danish pastry and green tea. We chose to sit outside overlooking the Swan river and Sealink ferries. Whilst waiting, some guests left their table and within seconds seagulls were swooping in to finish off the scraps. Immediately staff were there to clear table and shoo birds. Our food arrived and there was plenty of it. It was very tasty. The staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. We were pleased that there were very few places to eat open as we may not have found such a delightful place
