Great food and service

Nice coffee

Tried their breakfast menu over the weekend (at 2pm....so yes they serve all day breakfast) and it wasn't bad and prices were pretty reasonable. We had 2 serves of eggs on toast, two skinny caps and a cranberry juice and it all came to $40. Pretty good. The only thing is it took a LONG time for our food to arrive and the waitress seemed disinterested in serving us. Would definitely go back for the food again and the outdoor seats are awesome to people watch on a sunny Melbourne morning!

Great place to have a drink on southbank, cosier atmosphere than most of the other places

Breakfast. So far, we were ignored upon finding our seats, despite staff serving food and taking orders to customers right next to us. We left, wandered around Southbank for 10 mins, only to return because it seemed to be the only place open. Entered through the front door, only to practically grab one of the ditzy waitresses and explain the purpose of us entering the restaurant is to exchange money for goods and services. We were seated a second time, only to be ignored multiple times. Maybe it was my black t-shirt. Then one of the derps brought us menus - well, threw three on the table (there were two of us), and did not greet us, and then promptly continued to flirt with the old guy at the table next to us. Riiiiight. So, I had forgotten my jumper - lucky I had enough time for the 10 minute round trip to collect it from our hotel. I returned to find our orders had not been taken yet. Eventually, after much staring and making it look a lot like we were ready to order, a girl came out and asked if we had received our food yet. Unless I was in possession of some time altering device that turned the universe inside out, then no, I have not received my food before ordering it. So we ordered. The coffee took about 10 minutes, along with the water. Coffee was acceptable. Our food arrived, however my side of bacon was nowhere to be found. I assume it was hijacked by pro life hippies en route to my table. They took my eggs back to keep them warm while the chef cooked my bacon - he had forgotten to cook it. It was back within 3 minutes. Food was pretty nice. Although, fruit toast became jam on toast as there was none left. So we went in to pay, and all the waitresses were over in the corner "chatting" (see: fapping) to the male chef, who wasn't even in the kitchen. So yeah, go here if you're looking to pick a fight with several sub-par intelligence women and a guy that seems to be a bit of a big fish in a little pond.
