Amazing service when I arrived, the staff were very accommodating and kind. They have a great selection of food and drinks and they taste absolutely delicious. Great value for money.

I love Blue Train! Great view, prompt service and a diverse range of cuisines on the menu to appeal to everyone. It's great for small groups and bigger groups alike. Can't wait till I return.

The meal sizes here are getting smaller every year. I dared change my order from a pizza to fish and ships - never again. Stick with the pizza and just enjoy the view.

I've found the service here is generally poor but it can be a decent choice for a quiet and cheap breakfast in the Southgate area.

definitely going back! he service was fantastic, prices were reasonable and food was quite yummy and filling

great view overlooking flinders st station and the yarra, went on a saturday night and the wait was around 20 mins which wa quite reasonable given how busy it was

had the soft tacos platter which was nice, chips and garlic bread were quite ordinary and so were the burgers and the pizza was okay

the dessert was definitely my favorite! had the childhood chocolate one which was topped with fairy floss too

Located on southbank near the ice bar. Part of a large group and all our orders came out correctly and at the same time. Prices are reasonable and the food was good. Didn't love it but I would possibly return but only if I was in the area.

This is one of those great places in the city you can go to for a dinner for two, drinks, a large gathering or breakfast. They have a varied selection of meals with specials that rotate occasionally. For dinner it can get quite busy so either book or you can wait at the bar and try a cocktail as they often have specials. I have a lychee one that was delicious.
The food is great tasty and pretty filing. They have a big dessert fridge with many cakes and desserts.

Our company had a farewell party for a colleague in this restaurant some time ago. Environment is nice, location is good within Southbank- upstairs. We booked few tables and we ordered pizza and pasta. Price is alright, but food wasn't that fantastic as what they mentioned. Service is alright. It gets busy during lunch time.

Approximate cost: $15.00-20.00

Friendly and prompt service here for an after work dinner. My BBQ chicken pizza was tasty and not just dough with no topping, also the drinks arrived promptly as well. All as expected from this cafe, nothing to wow you but the nothing to put you off either. The others here for the dinner also felt the same nothing to brag about but all were satisfied and would be willing to come here again.

For what it is, it is a fairly nice place.
The service has always been lacking. It can take a long time to get anyone's attention whilst seated. The waits are very often long. The blame for this is not necessarily the individual staff, but perhaps the numbers being understaffed.
The food however has always been a pleasant varied range of well prepared, good quality ingredients. Everything from asian to italian, they do it well.
Always worth a visit compared to the other competitors around the area, for a potentially quick feed, or more likely a long lazy lunch, with a few drinks whilst you wait for your table.

admittedly we waited for at least half an hour and it wasn't even peak time

Great spot along the river and saturday night had a busker on street level playing guitar which you could hear from our table. Really nice busy atmosphere. The it gets to the food and service really, bit disappointing on both accounts. Meals were good size but lacked flavour, pizzas were pretty good but the other meals we got on the table werent too flash, one had the burger and one roast chicken. Also service was ok only thing from my experience was one of our meals didnt come out until 10 min after the rest, she didnt really explain why, maybe forgot to put it through? Overall was a great time there...desserts were very good!

Approximate cost: $20
