Riverside Kitchen & Bar — Restaurant in Melbourne

I wish to thank you for all your assistance for enabling us to put on a fantastic Luncheon for our social group.

We had not been able to get together for St Patrick's Day, Easter or to celebrate our friends birthdays occurring in March or April - so we decided to combine the celebrations last Thursday (13th April ) in your beautiful establishment.

Leading up to Thursday Lauren had been very positive and helpful in ensuring we had all we needed.

On Thursday ,Mark , was absolutely wonderful in ensuring the Function area was welcoming and professionally presented.

The 37 of us that attended couldn't believe that we were lunching in such a magnificent space. We were all in awe of the professionalism and attentiveness afforded to us.

The food, service and kind generosity was above and beyond anything we could have dreamed of.

Our group ,are a group of seniors - many of whom have been widowed or live alone - many experience isolation and loneliness- and to many, the gym we attend, is one of the very few social outings they attend.

These luncheons of ours are important for our wellbeing in many ways - contributing to increased happiness.

Thank you, for going above and beyond.

It means so much more than you could ever know.

The oohs and ahhs of people arriving at the restaurent - to the laughter and chatter throughout the day - and the smiles that continued on through to the next day - are all due to yourselves - to Lauren and Mark - and all the other...

I always enjoyed eating here over the years. Yes, a very atmospheric place! I really looked forward to being with the girls and eating here again. Service was ok ,but the food has disappointedly gone down in standard. The chicken I had was dry and chicked schnitzel was sparse , bread a plenty , with scanty amounts of lettuce and mayo. Disappointing. Another main was chicken stuffed roll again dry, sauce covered the plate like a serving of soup. The mashed potato was half the size of the plate and looked unappetizing. Needless , to say it was very ordinary. One last comment do not sit at the large table in centre , near entrance. The table has been sticky for years. Even my napkin stuck to the table itself this time. Gee guys , use some soup to wash the tables. But the coffees were great! I see you haven’t bothered to read and answer your old reviews so good luck , as I noticed there are fewer...

I booked a table of 15 for my sisters baby shower 1 week prior to the event. The staff were very accommodating and did everything to ensure we had a wonderful time. They set us up at a table that felt like a semi private area to the rest of the group and allowed us to bring balloons etc for decorations.

I also brought a cake, which the staff served up for us on the restuarant's own cake stand and they also packaged it back up once we were done.

I had to add on an additional seat upon arrival which was no fuss to them.

It was also a great place for large groups as you order at the bar making it easy to split bills for large groups. Food came out really quickly and was delicious.

We had a great experience and will...
