Kilean McColl

Great food. Great view across Yarra River , noisy and lacking atmosphere..."hip and trendy noisy and sterile"

Jeiran Hasan

Asparagus , almond and lemon filled ravioli was one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had!

Captain Kirk

Staffed by a bunch of try hard Hipster wannabes that spend more time comparing their piercings, tattoos and clothes all purchased from the same Brunswick st boutiques , than serving you

Josh Chaffey

Maybe a bit TOO family friendly on my visit... ???? But it was school holidays, and I am unmarried and without children.

Aileen Herbert

My little birthday boy age 7 had a great time here. Awesome view of yarra river with the warm sun shining. Relaxing. Great service.

Mark Posen

The rocket and Parmesan salad is great. Enough cheese to take five years of your life, but absolutely delicious!

Tom Charman

Chicken burger is delicious and the service was excellent. Soft tacos were good too.

Rick KT

Table on the deck was perfect. Eggplant chips delicious, service very nice. No complaints!

???? Ng Chia Sern

Good environment. Especially the wash room. Relaxing feel ????

Samurdha Jayasinghe

Love the food and the ambiance :)

Leigh Costin

Awesome service! Recommend the pork belly .

Robert M.

Love the food. Love the atmosphere. And great for a boozy lunch or dinner , or anything.

Nancy McMillan

The pulled lamb burger is amazing!

talia lanac

another vote for the eggplant chips . recommend you go in the late afternoon to avoid the crowds.

Dani Hardiker

Great veggie burger !

Roger Sharp

Good food, good location. Service leaves a lot to be desired. "Can I please add chicken to my pizza "? I asked. Response "no". "Why not?" I inquired. "You just can't" said the waitress . Crap.

Craig Webster

3 tables in the restaurant . 25 minutes wait for 2 milkshakes made from syrup . $10. Service so slow even the chef got fed up waiting for the staff . 10 minutes waiting to give the money to pay the bill.

Falcon Griffith

The sweet potato gnocchi , madras curry , garlic naan and chocolate cake are all divine!

Joren De Rosso

Upstairs alfresco is surprisingly warm, good wine selection , yet a little overpriced. Pity our table got smothered by staff , constantly asking for our order

Grant McHerron

Basic food (sweet Potato gnocchi with lamb worth trying) - food usually arrives quickly - gets noisy when it's crowded

Alvin Goh

Best desert so far

Katherine R

Save room for dessert !!

Teresa Grundy

coffee ok, but Toasted sandwiches dry maybe yesterdays bake

Oscar Yuen

Give the risotto a wide berth - you would get better flavour from eating the napkin.

Aliaistweeting

If you have the patience to wait around 15 mins for a simple cake to arrive at your table, the sticky date pudding is the best here. Everything else is average.

Tariya Joy

Worse breakfast I've had in Melbourne. You pay for the view ... Scrambled eggs had plastic and a blood clot in it, undercooked mushrooms and overripe avocado .

Paul Canterbury

Having breakfast on the balcony overlooking the Yarra and the city is awesome.

Nicole Morris

The 'small plates ' are a big serve ...

Fern Yeo

Go to The Blue Train and try their sticky date pudding . share it with a friend cos half is just nice! Read more

Teresa Grundy

ok but try and get a window seat

AustralianBartendersGuild

one of our fav places in melbs!

Andrew Howard

Not what it used to be, restaurant has shrunk, meals have shrunk, bar has expanded.

Emilie Rosenberg

I've been sick after dining there on 2 occasions. I'd stop going back, but the staff are just so pretty!

Jay Nielson

Don't bother with the burger , the meat was hard and over cooked. I'll add another recommendation for the egg plant chips though!

Brock C

Sweet Potato gnocchi with lamb is amazing

Mike E

Whatever you do, you must try the egg plant chips

Charles W

Banana Cream and Caramel Pie , is the BOMB!

John Abdilla-Radak

Expensive and food well it wasnt the best.

Jogvan

Tandoori chicken is well worth a try!

Amelia Birrell

The eggplant chips are amazing!

Chris B

Ordered the vegetarian risotto and it came out with chicken in it, what the DUECE!!

Nicole Ternel

The service can be a bit slack!

Luke McCormack

Don't do the fish & chips ... Big fail! Pizza ; pretty good.

Michael

Eggplant chips are awesome

Brendan Cowan

Great view accros the Yarra!

Andrew Howard

Just walked out. Service is deplorable.

Cedric Weber

Veal and potato mash tastes horrible. Eggplant fries are average. Can't recommend this place.

Bayley Millard

just average, nothing special at all might as well keep walking up the yarra

Suzie Blade

Very average. Came for dessert - apple crumble warmed in microwave - soggy pastry . Gross. Crumble on top also soggy and tasted raw.

Nathan Wu

Stay away from the Toblerone cake . The slice I got was sour. Got a refund though so that was ok at least.
