Considering there are so many wonderful places to eat breakfast in Melbourne, it's amazing that this place manages to fill even one table. A group of friends had breakfast here, and were served cold, grey, and dry eggs, burnt toast, and un- cooked onion, and unusual smelling salmon, that remained untouched on the plate. Although the staff were friendly and prices cheap, it in no way made up for the shocking food. I left hungry and annoyed.

Place is always packed so assumed the food would be good. Though I'm always suspect of places who try to do too many different types of food. Came in for a late breakfast. Had the big breakfast. Fried eggs were burnt on the bottom and translucent on the top. Mushrooms were the worst cooked mushrooms I've ever been served. Caramelised onions were a confusing not particularly nice addition. Its a worry if a cafe can't get things as simple as eggs and mushrooms right. Only saving grace was the service.

Had a steak burger and serving was huge. I couldn't finish and gave chips to my friend. Mango smoothie was ok. Found the staff very friendly and service was quick. Value was ok (I guess, helped by my 25% discount from Entertainment book). Would go back and try another item on their menu.

The service was good but the food was not, and the meals came out differently to how they were described on the menu.

Friendly service in a very layback eatery. Filthy toilets. Terrible food, overcooked, poor quality ingredients. Who cares about large servings when a mouthful is too much? Unfortunately, Grandma's funked.

The food here is very average. The servings are large, but it's not the kind of food you want a lot of. My friend ordered garlic potato mash, and it was so full of jarred minced garlic that you could taste nothing else. The seafood in my paella was bad. The waiter was very friendly but he kept going for smoke breaks and coming back smelling like an ash tray. Very cheap for the meal size.

First time visited and can't wait to go back again! Food is fantastic, I happened to make the wrong choice though. The risotto dishes, pizzas, pastas and starters are delicious. Excellent and friendly service.

I was here just the other day for a Friday lunch. Service was fine, prices fine, the food was the interesting part: tuna risotto with parmesan, spinach, baby tomatoes and kalamata olives? I had to try it, as I love all. Together, though, the abundance of kalamatas just made it incredibly salty, so I ended up eating around them, which worked out fine. Good if not great cafe. Free wi-fi a nice touch for the business luncher.

Food was great, and prompt. Something for everyone on their menu. Really good value, I agree best to come with an appetite. I did find some spinach in my milkshake, however I'm sure it needed some extra iron, (they offered me another, but again .. it was big). I do recommend this place.
