1924 RiverFront Steakhouse — Restaurant in Murray Bridge

Brought the family out for a nice dinner after seeing this place during the day. It could be great, but needs work and I’m hoping they do get it right as they are trying hard. Firstly the service while a couple of the younger waitstaff are green and could use some service training, they are friendly. A guy named Peter who seemed to be a manager or owner is very helpful and more knowledgeable. But again they were all very friendly and tried, they did come to the table far too much though and were disruptive so would definitely recommend assign one staff member to a table and not 3 at varying times. Now. The first impression, walking into the place which could be very comfortable, is far too bright and feels like a club room or cafeteria and not a nice restaurant. Please dim the lights and change them to a soft glow color and not the bright daylight as there is no steakhouse in the world that would look like this. It is noisy, which could easily be fixed with some vegetation, pots with big plants, vibes, and some sort of sound absorption on the ceiling. Now Most importantly the food, it’s just ok. Could be great. Around the world I’ve tried many great steakhouse, had a tomahawk, and it not only was cooked inconsistently, varying from the advertised medium rare to well done in parts the cut was chewy, and could use some better seasoning. Wouldn’t recommend for the price as should be waayyy better. Definitely needs more seasoning. Tried a couple of the sauces the pepper needs more kick and the garlic needs more garlic, just bland in general. The salt and pepper squid was very under flavored again and with a dish served in almost every pub in Adelaide, and generally lightly floured with good seasoning this should be pretty simple. Just needs more flavor as it’s just bland as is the beet salad. The oysters killpatrick were good, the Haloumi cheese also was reasonable. The chicken breast with calamari and cheese was a little dry and again needs more flavor if they are going for an upper level restaurant. Seemed more like a dish from the community club next door.

Again good idea, just needs work, and I hope they get it right as it’s in...

Finally got go come try this place out. First there is no advertisement about parking and so it was a big walk from the main car parking for my old man with his walker. Luckily a very nice man with long hair come to help us and explained about driving up to the back door. At least I know for next time. But that’s the only negative thing I can say. Once seated inside it was nice and warm and all the staff were friendly, polite and very welcoming. I used the online order option except i had to order the pineapple juice separately, why is that not on the online ordering system i wonder. With the food the fish could have been cooked another minute or two due to personal preference but otherwise delicious, light crunch batter that’s been well seasoned. Tartare was very lemony. The garlic bread was divine, loved that little balsamic drizzle. Now the rib, omg out of world tenderness and just falling clean off the bone. That salad dressing was so delicious i was licking it up with my leftover chips. I love they have salt and pepper on the table. Overall other than the long walk and one lady on the opposite table that laughed so loud i bed they could hear her up at the swanport it was a lovely experience for us and I can see this place becoming a favourite now I know were to drop my old man and his walker at. Will be back to try out some of those lunch specials that sounds good. Thanks for showing me there is still at least one amazing restaurant left...

I was disappointed with the seafood sharing platter for 2. The fried fish and prawns were very bland, but you know what??? I thought tis okay, food is food, be greatfull you can afford food to feed your family. However my experience with the waitress who served us took my mind from the ashram in tibet to purgatory. she didn't check in on us and ignored me every time I tried to get her attention, she clearly didn't like my face Lol. We eventually got her to look in our direction while she walked casually towards other tables, and asked if we could have tomato sauce and some side plates ( Please Sir I want some more aka Oliver twist reanacted)She came back eventually after yet another reminder with the sauce which she dumped on the table and then disappeared into the black hole. No sign of her nor the side plates after that. She did however, like a shooting star appear to shout out loud she had a coke in her hand and slammed that on our table. Heck she must really hates all our faces. The good news is you don't have to visit the holy land to see a Miracle no more, just go grab a table here to witness the miracle unfold in front of you, coz its a paranormal phenomenon how this establishment survived through all the global challenges since 1924.....could they be related to the...
