Riva

Great place for a family lunch or dinner. Karma members get a whopping 25% discount on food and drinks, staff are friendly and helpful too. If you stay at the hotel you can have a all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast with all the regular foods/drinks, including bacon, eggs, mushrooms, cerals, bread, pastries, tea/coffee & jams etc. You can also order off the menu, and choose a selection of wines, beers, spirits etc. Great atmosphere inside, and outside overlooking the pool

Food was okay but description on the menu was inaccurate. Lamb dish stated that it had vegetables but it didn't. Asked the young waitress who (fairly rudely) pointed to the microscopic leaf (leaves?) of onion underneath the chickpeas. Ordered a side of vegetables which turned out to be a few strands of broccolini and lots of soggy cucumber but cost $12. Wait staff were prancing around with hands folded behind their backs like they were at Alain Ducasse but unfortunately pretty much ignored us to fawn on a couple of tables of surfers from the World Surf Competition. Same waitress took 10 minutes to process our payment while the 6 of us waited (sigh).
