We returned here again after quite some time for a light relaxed lunch, as we have always enjoyed it in the past. Seated outside in the glorious sun, our waiteress took our order, and we were assured there were no anchovies in the salad. Our meals and drinks promptly arrived, and we immediately noticed that salads were not up to... More

Out of the 5 mains on the menu, only 4 were available. Out of the 4 entrees on the menu, there was 2 to chose from. This was extremely dissapotining. What kind of seafood reasturant doesn't have oysters? The customer service was also disappointing. My guests and I did not feel welcome throughout our visit. We could tell the waitress... More

This should be a great breakfast experience. A view of Corio Bay, parks and early morning walkers & boaties with a rising sun. Given Ripples only does breakfast on a Sunday you'd be excused for believing that someting special is in store for the diner. Pity on many counts - the owners really could do better to be a star...

Overall Ripples provides an average dining experience. Pleasant views across the bay. Somewhat noisy surrounds due to the open plan layout, (and a large party of females). Service wasn't anything memorable. Our party of six (54+ year olds), ordered 5 steaks and a duck main. Steaks were great, but the duck was ordinary. Is there a restaurant in Geelong that... More

Location is lovely but unfortunately that is where the positives end. Fifteen minutes after ordering a member of our group was informed that their choice was unavailable.......no worries make another selection.......we then wait 1hour and 10 minutes before our meal was served. All meals were lukewarm, the eye fillet and kangaroo we ordered were quite nice but the duck breast... More

This restaurant is sensationally located with great views over the water and the sites of the Geelong waterfront. Both of us had entree and main course and every dish was served lukewarm which was very disappointing. For main course I had duck breast which as well as being lukewarm lacked any flavour or sauce to accompany it. One dish served... More
