I didn't make a reservation on a weekday morning, but I was able to get a seat right away and if you want a good seat, make a reservation in advance. I think reservations for the weekend are a must. The food isn't very delicious, but it's a pleasant place to enjoy.

The location is fabulous, right next to the Yarra River, and you can enjoy watching various birds while having your meal. The restaurant can accommodate a large number of guests at once, yet still serves delicious food in no time. The dishes are also beautifully presented.

food and activities in one area, sign me up!

the food, location and experience of it all was so memorable. my friend took my here for my birthday and we had the lunch, we ordered 4 entrees to share and it was more than enough food for both of us. best thing about it all was how affordable it was to eat, drink and go boating!

definitely recommend this

We cycled here from the city centre on a bit of a whim and what a delightful place. We were greeted the moment we sat down by a very friendly staff member who gave us a nice run down of the area and even gave us tokens for two free drinks. The location was lovely and it was easy to find a little table for two people surrounded by wildlife and green spaces. Definitely recommend.

Great place by the river!

The pizzas and burgers were awesome 👌

The desserts were to die for!

The apple tart and tipsy trifle as seen in the pictures.

Great way to lose some calories by walking around.

There was a wedding taking place and lots of place for children to play!
