Came here for lunch on a Tuesday, it was so quite bustling. We booked our table, so we were quickly seated with no issues. You have an option to order at the bar or scan a QR code to order. The food is quite tasty, but not super consistent. We had Barramundi which was over $30 and the portion was so small, my colleague had to immediately snack on something else after. Their pumpkin pizza I heard was quite good. Caesar salad portion was big, but the taste was nothing special, its chicken was bland and dry. My club sandwich was on a soft bread, salad was fresh and bacon was nice. The chips were amazingly seasoned. The chicken however was the same, quite dry and under seasoned. Iced coffee was good. There was a round table next to us with 3 adults, and they barely had enough room to put all their food and drinks. This group struggled to get a table service a couple of times. Such a beautiful place to visit though, so will return for the ambience alone and drinks.
Studley Park Boathouse is a restaurant and boat hire place located quite close to the CBD. I loved the lively and natural vibe of the location, being outdoors next to the river. The food wasn’t too bad actually but the service could be improved (dirty tables/no greeting/wait times), though they might have been short staffed that day. Overall definitely recommend a visit during a sunny day or when it’s warm.
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
Stunning venue and great food! After the short hike, we found this beautiful outside deck restaurant. We were starving and ordered steak and fish&chips. My favorite was the side which was pickled onion and loved that they chose this healthy option! Next to the deck, you can enjoy the fabulous view and birds like ducks can be seen!
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.
