Kitchen by the River is seriously a hidden gem! The food was delicious, the service was amazing, and the beautiful city views made the whole experience even more special. The ambience is unmatched—it has now become one of my favourite dining spots. P.S. The hamachi with coriander dressing is an absolute must-try!

Hi Have been there two days in a row Monday the service great with our stjohns group
Today the food was not so great the toasties were cold had to be sent back twice we had four of the coffee and hot chocolate go back as the were Luke warm and I am still waiting for the hot chocolate I ordered and payed for so we have now left.

I went with my family for breakfast and the staff were really accomdating and friendly. On top of that the food was really well done, even though there was a little bit of a mistake with our order they kindly made up for it with no hassle so thank you for that! Would definitely go again :) Little bit of feedback, it would be really nice if the cinnamon roll had a bit more of the filling inside 😅

We all had eggs Benedict with either salmon or mushrooms. Cane with a hash brown but think you have a choice of bread as well. We really enjoyed our meals. Menu is a bit light but otherwise pretty good. They have lots of cabinet food and you can order drinks from the bar if you feel like something different. Nice view out over the golf course.
