   Our go to cafe for Dockers AFL home games at Optus Stadium. Lovely venue with outstanding views over the Swan River to Perth city skyline. Food menu needs an update. It needs a bit more variety of dishes, same ol same ol. Menu has a small selection of items to choose from. IMO drinks menu offering is way better than the food menu. But you need to put Rosé back on the drinks list. Staff and service is very, very good no matter how busy it gets. A special mention of staff member ‘Choy’ or as I know her by, Lilly. Always smiling, happy to assist with any requests and stop for a minute to have a chat. Overall I recommend City View Café

   The service has been slipping recently. They used to have a maitre d' or similar who would seat people and seemed to generally keep things organised. They now have a sign telling you to select a non-reserved table. This is fine except when you have a booking. You either have to wait a few minutes for someone to come over or have them yell at you from the coffee machine. Once you get passed these initial stages, the service is also less than it was. There is still one great member of the waitstaff who has been there for a while, but many of the newer staff are dour at best. The service is not bad as such (especially by Perth's low standards), it is just a shame that they seem to be cutting costs without cutting the quite-high prices. The food, however, remains top-notch.

   I absolutely love City View Cafe but today’s experience could have been better. The menu is getting smaller and even more expensive for what you get. Not much variety like there use to be. The most disappointing items on the menu are the deserts. $16.50 for a ‘lava cake’ was extortion. I know it’s the footy but…… Optus Stadium management needs to review the menu at City View Cafe and make some changes. The venue is superb and staff are excellent.

   We arrived a half hour before Optus gates opened. There was no instruction from the restaurant that the gates were closed. After walking almost the perimeter we were advised that only Gate C was open early.. We are not young. Very hot weather. It would have been nice to have been given this information in advance.

   City View is a favourite for drop in coffee with friends or a simple meal. Service is always friendly.

   Great game day experience before the game. Without doubt the best view over the Swan River to the City. Good food although now it’s starting to get a little pricey. Staff and service is first rate. Orders are delivered to your table quickly. Yes I do recommend City View Café.

    I am extremely disappointed with the service during our recent visit. We arrived at 1:50 PM and did not receive our food until 2:40 PM—an unacceptable wait time. Despite following up and clearly stating that we had a game to attend at 3:10 PM, the delay meant we were unable to eat and reach our seats on time. This level of service is completely unacceptable. Not only did it ruin our dining experience, but it also disrupted our plans. I expect a response explaining how such delays are being addressed to prevent this from happening to other customers.
