The bottomless brunch was very underwhelming in comparison to other's I had been. You had to make your own mimosas, and go up to the bar to get your own drinks. The mocktails tasted better than the alcoholic beverages they had to offer. The wings had some odd bbq sauce slapped on them, the garlic bread was just toast, and the pizzas could be compared to the frozen ones you buy from the supermarket. If you order the Beef Boss Pizza, don't expect any beef. Expect a pile of capsicums. & if you like hair in your food, you'll love the hawaiian pizza. They also forgot the guacamole and chips that came with our bottomless lunch package. & no I didn't say anything because we had already stopped eating by the time we discovered the hair. Another table had received their crusty looking chips and guac, so we didn't even bother asking for ours. Unless you were just grabbing a drink to watch the game, I would not recommend this place. The two stars are for our server, although he deserves five. Price per person: $60–70 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2

I made a reservation for my partner’s birthday - around a 20-person booking - to coincide with the Warriors game. The Raft was amazing! They accommodated my every request and made organisation a breeze. The staff were so friendly and helpful - they sorted out a choice selection of food for us as a package so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They had everything set up and ready and were attentive throughout the evening. The food was delicious and fresh - that calamari is top-tier! - and incredible value, too. I’ve been coming to the Raft regularly for years and will continue to do so. Thanks for a spectacular and memorable evening! Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The best fries we’ve ever had! We can’t fault them, and the portion sizes are incredibly generous. My partner loves the pizza, and I absolutely love the calamari. On our most recent visit, the calamari dish had changed and no longer came on a bed of salad, which I had really appreciated before. That said, I still loved how lightly and freshly the calamari was cooked. Paired with a perfect margarita, it made for a fantastic meal. The only issue we’ve experienced was when we visited with my parents and 4-month-old baby in a capsule and sat outside in the covered deck area. A large group seated next to us were smoking cigarettes despite the no-smoking signs. We were so put off by this that we left without ordering. Despite that experience, the staff are friendly and we will continue to recommend this place and return for lunch. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
