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.

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 😅

The food at River Kitchen was okay, but the coffee was spot on! It’s a small cozy corner perfect for a quiet coffee break.
There aren’t many breakfast options, but what’s on the menu is decent. If you love a good coffee, it’s definitely worth stopping by.

Excellent portions & taste. I was surprised by the three poached eggs on my Eggs Benedict. The coffee & hash veggies were delicious too! It did take a long time for the food to be served but the flavors made up for the wait.

It’s my birthday brunch and we decided to check out the Sconery.
Food: We got the big breakfast and had it to share. Even after splitting it into two the servings were still huge. Good quality bacon, sausages, egg and hash brown. Quentin was fascinated with the round sourdough biscuit tasting cookie looking pastry that came with the meal (brioche or English muffin - we had to ask the chef what it was). For dessert we got the Dates + Custard Scones and it was heavenly.
Ambiance: Love the straightforwardness of the decor. Exposed brick as interior?Yes to that! And who would have thought green pool tiles would work? It did. My favorite part is the exposed kitchen. You can see how your food is made. Makes for great entertainment when waiting for your meal.
People: The staff were friendly and accommodating. Love how the cook acknowledges people as she makes the meal.
Room for improvement: Quentin’s flat white was good but my iced latte needs a bit of work.
Overall it was such a great brunch experience. I can see why people line up to see what’s on the cabinet and grab one to go.
P.S. As we were paying for the extra coffee Quentin got he told the crew it’s my birthday. They went out their way and got a pastry with candle lighted come out for me. It was sooooo sweet! They feel like family. Something someone like me who comes 8,000+ miles away needs.
