    Had a group booking for a work catch-up and Riverland and all the staff were fantastic. Big groups can be very annoying, especially at closing time but the staff were always polite and provided great service. Food was great and the team all commented on what a great spot it was. Will definitely be back for work drinks again.

    Best service at a bottomless brunch I've ever had. Teá was the perfect level of present but not over the top and so friendly. Food was good enough and one of the drinks was great (the other two just not to my taste). Will definitely book again - excellent value!

    The place was amazing, loved the food and drinks. The ambience was great, exactly what I expected. However, my only criticism is that when we walked in there were no workers at the front and none were in sight. It took us 5 minutes to find someone to sit us down

    The setting is great. We had an outside table. Drinks and food orders are via an app, which was easy and efficient. There were 2 of us and we wanted a quick light meal before a show. We ordered the arancini balls and porcini pizza. The arancini balls were cold on the inside and a disappointment. The mushroom pizza on the other hand was fantastic. Food arrived quickly. Service was good.

    Came for the bottomless brunch which was great value for the amount of drinks and pizza you can order in the 2 hours. Tia was servicing our table and did an amazing job, she fully made the experience what it was! Would definitely recommend to others to visit, and Tia should be commended for her excellent service :)
