Review Studley Park Boat House (cafe, Restaurant) - Kew

Booked one of the summer pods today for brunch that comes with free 30mins row boat experience. The idea concept is great and food standards are above average. Would like to take this opportunity to praise our waitress (we forgot to take her name) who served us at the pod and assisted at the boat rental for her excellent service. Unfortunately the rest of the waitress isn't that great and could do better by giving a little more attention as well as friendlier service.

This is one of the good place to visit with your little one or young ones as well. This place got the natural greenery and got beautiful Yarra River where you can enjoy boating 🛶. This place is also good for BBQ 🍗 as they have lots of preparation there already just get your stuff with you. Parking could be an issue as normally people spend 4-5 hours average there, so please be mindful to come early and get your parking. If you live to ride the cycling 🚴‍♂️ and you can bring your cycle as well as there are some nice tracks around there. Hope you guys find it helpful for your next visit. Cheers

3.5 STARS This is a review on their Sunday high tea. The positives: • good staff • great view • the scones were nice • the dairy free food was good The negatives: • most of the desserts seemed like store bought (Costco maybe) • the rice in sliced salifornia roll was very dry so assume that meant it was old Will need to revisit them again after a few more months of post COVID normality.

A lovely setting next to the river and great for a lunchtime meal. Staff were amazing, and our dog was allowed to sit with us outside. You can order from the table via your phone, and the food came out promptly, even on a public holiday. The food was delicious, and the seasoning on the fries was great! Seating inside was also available, and we were genuinely impressed when we visited here.

Studley Park Boathouse is a nice relaxing place to visit when you’ve had enough of the hustle and bustle of the city. ☀️The sunny bits: Nothing beats the peaceful environment around this joint. We had a lovely walk before settling down to vacuum up a couple of their fresh pastries while sitting under the shade. The apricot danish was delicious. Top marks for the rhubarb danish as well. The flaky buttery pastry melted in our mouths. Service was lovely and efficient. ☁️The cloudy bits: Hmmm…nothing that I can come up with this visit. ⭐️The forecast: Great food, lovely service and an amazing environment makes this place a triple threat!😁

Staff was very welcoming and driedCame on a hot day and had a table in the sun but the staff moved us into the shade which was extremely nice of them to do. Had the steak and lamb flat bread. Both were absolutely delicious. Would 100% recommend coming here and enjoy lunch with the view of the Yarra

I booked for the Studley park boathouse garden pods high tea for 4, we had such a wonderful time, something I had to write home about The setting was stunning, the food was amazing (best high tea I had in Melbourne so far) both savoury and the sweet choices are delicious. Our service staff Cat (or Kat) is well presented, friendly and tentative. My friends and I are all very impressed with the quality (and quantity, we all had take home boxes) of this high tea offering, highly recommended. Oh, did I mention the spot is photogenic too?

Beautiful location but as in all beautiful locations it was crowded, fortunately I was able to get a table I sat down to a Parma with chips & salad at the café, was the meal fantastic? To be honest it wasn't all that great but it wasn't terrible either, it was extremely busy and the meal came out very fast, I'm not sure how a fresh Parma can be cooked and prepared that quick it actually tasted like it had been microwaved, the grounds and setting were amazing as are the staff clearing tables - resetting tables for the next group without faulter the staff even though under pressure from the constant barrage of customers performed immaculately. ** Like any place I comment on these are just my personal opinions and shouldn't reflect on anyone else's opinions even though on this occasion I didn't enjoy the meal it still deserves a 5 star rating for location and service I may have just been there on a bad day for Parma cooking, would I go back - Yes.

Its fun to paddle around but a really disappointing manager, we where struggling and where a bit late, he was really rude and unfriendly. We will definitely not come back and we won’t recommend it to friends

I was there on the Australian day. It was the perfect place that I was longing to be for a long time. I was surprised to see such an amazing country style venue for cosy outing in the middle of the busy concrete world of the city. The staff in the cafe was very good. I enjoyed the food and it was quiet a lot for me. They were so professional that they have put tag on my cardigan which I forgot to take and kept in a safe place. I give all the credits to that boy who served us. Sorry I cant remember his name. I recommended the place to lot of my friends and I will definetly come for a good fun.

We had a beautiful father's day lunch with our family at the cafe food was delicious we all enjoyed it so was the desert the staff are very friendly always with a smile and helpful it's a must try we also hired the row boats my grandkids enjoyed rowing the boat down the river

We held our fathers 80th birthday here. Wonderful venue, fantastic staff, delicious food. Highly recommend this place for a very special occasion. �����

Shout out to all the amazing hard working guys and gal's at the coffee shop. During the dachshund walk today they were swarmed by coffee orders and patiently put up with rude customers who couldn't wait for their drink. High five guys, my coffee was well worth the wait!

A fantastic venue for creek/River views while having an espresso, affordable rates for row boat hire. One of Melbourne's best kept secrets 🙂

Great meal and service - lovely sit on the deck and have the view of the river.

The cafe has great drinks, especially the coffees and milkshakes! Cafe staff are pretty damn great too!

A great place for a coffee/tea/chai by the river then a relaxing walk.

Great place ,friendly staff and great coffee on a cold day.

Best place to go for a view of natural beauty, kids love the surrounds of bush,duck feeding and rowing a boat an afternoon well spent in warm or cool weather☺️

Had boatmans breakfast, passable, except for the sausage, strange taste, no one on the table ate them. Was hoping for a good old english pork sausage and no black pudding either.

Great food! Great service! Amazing wines! Amazing views!

Beautiful tranquil riverside escape from the urban hustle bustle. Ducks, geese, scones, good coffee. Can't get better than that. ��

went to the kiosk to get a drink and the main guy serving us was an asshole - first off there was no drinks menu, asked what flavours of milkshakes they served but he couldn’t even explain that, simply answered ‘whatever you want’ and expected me to look behind him, had to look over at the labels on the bottles to see what their options were. when he handed my drink over I thanked him and told him to have a good day politely, he responded with a condescending ‘you too trouble maker’. I’m sorry, what? Generally seemed rude and unwelcoming. if you’re going to work in hospitality, act like a hospitable person.

Good food, attentive and friendly staff- a great place for a festive occasion
