I placed a takeaway order for Sirloin steak with Stir-fry. I specifically requested steak to be medium to well done. I get home and realise that its very well done, very hard like a rock. Newscafe Rivonia:(

Excellent morning breakfast especially the early bird one. Very good for pockets too. Excellent service.

Why do we still have to complete the form with all your details? I was told quite aggressively that head office requires this. I agree to sanitising and my temperature checked but unless this is enforced for every single movement you make like with Level 5, it makes no sense because tracking someone’s movements who is positive is basically impossible at this stage. It’s just an inconvenience.

Wow what an experience me and my friend had lunch and coctails. The staff was friendly and on the ball with the service. Food was delicious, i had the spicy chicken quesadilla and my friend had the Sirloin and we both enjoyed it.We tried a few cocktails on the menu and it was yummy. We saw they have alot of specials breakfast lunch and sundowners. A big thanks to Craig the manager who made us feel at home. We wil definitely be back with friends.

Really had a great time! Food was awesome! I was very disappointed with how the Oxtail was served though: 2 pieces of oxtail on a bed of rice, heavily disappointing! But tasted nice i guess

Review №38

Great specials on vegetables. I also love the sweets and nuts dispenser section. Quite a huge variety there for your selection. I think pricing though is relatively steep in this section. Customer Service is good although o can suggest consistent availability of certain vegetables, there was no broccoli when we were there which we were actually looking for not sure what else was out of stock. Anyway Id definitely shop there regularly if I lived on the area.

I have not been to NewsCafe in a while as I see it as noisy and a club. Also I don’t think I am the target audience. My brother from another mother asked we meet at Rivonia News Cafe. I was very impressed with :Food - greatStaff - service amazing and respectful and friendlyNoise - they had a live band and I find it noisy and not really great music or singing. I asked to be moved inside , it was better but still noisy.Overall for those who don’t mind loud noise and sounds plus great service and food , it’s the place to try.

Wouldnt let us book a birthday dinner because some people are under the age of 23. Never heard such rubbish, as long as you have a drivers license you can do a track day with Ferrari so why cant you eat at a restaurant if youre a young adult. Its a shame because we couldve been loyal customers for many years.

Blergh. Horrible service, unstable tables which made our drinks fall, then random people were brought to join out table. We waited for over an hour for our waitress to bring the bill. Definitely not trying to go back there again.

The manager argued with us after we had a questionable experience. He told us to not come back to this franchise because I questioned his management skills. I was deeply offended. I tried to reason with him. The worst experience Ive ever had

Wow! Was it loud! So News Rivonia has decided to get a dj in (not sure if its Friday and Saturday). Music was pretty good, but it definitely isnt the place to have a conversation. Drinks were decent, service was good.
