Good and friendly service and staff, had colouring in for the kids to keep them settled. Really good food and good vibe on the restaurant
Our experience was good. We booked for 7 adults, a high chair and place for a pram, however when we arrived our group had changed to 5, so that was accommodated quickly. There was no high chair or place for a pram tho. All in all a good experience.
Great atmosphere! Delicious food! Service was good, the waitresses seemed in a rush but were pleasant enough. We ordered a platter and even though the food was very tasty we did not get everything that was described on the menu. Good value, great selection of food and drinks. Would recommend to a friend.
We had booked a group of 28 and was told that we'll need to be at two tables next to each other, which was fine but it ended being 3 tables so it did dampen the social interaction quite a bit for me. Other than that the food was tasty, well presented and of good quality. Service was efficient despite being a busy night for them.
Good food, good prices and timely service given the size of our dining party. Would certainly book again for a similar event. Also were able to accommodate the additional members of our party who weren't on the original booking
Great staff, very attentive and helpful. Food was really yummy and reasonably priced. We had a large group and had to be in and out in just over an hour - nothing was a problem for them.Would definitely recommend Blue Train
Menu heavily advertised as gluten free. After arriving we found out the gluten free options weren't suitable for people with celiac. Disclaimers such as "may contain traces of gluten" weren't anywhere on the menu and this would've made a huge difference. If we had seen this disclaimer on the online menu, we wouldn't have booked. I know they're tapping into this 'low gluten/gluten free' trend however they're misleading people with serious gluten allergies such as celiac. Staff mentioned customers have made numerous complaints about this. Sauce ingredients were pre-packaged store bought, not made from scratch in-house, not really good enough for the prices they were charging. Staff did their best given the circumstances. Unfortunately won't be going back.
We were cramped into a small space. Apart from that all good. Would like to see a few more chicken mains options on the menu without the inclusion of nut products.
Food was amazing The wait staff were friendly and everything ran really efficiently. Great location and really good atmosphere. I will definitely go there again.
Table service was fast and friendly, food (veal, meatballs, calamari and pizza) took about 45 mins. (Too long for kids to wait) Veal dish was really really salty but the salad(capsicum) it came with was really tasty. I don't think you really need a big half cooked lemon taking up the plate. The pizza was great. Limited gf options if you are with children. Staff chased up our meal and were friendly and prompt. Would not return due to limited gf options for kids. Location is great.
We were a party of 9. All main courses were great and the range of dishes on the menu was really good. Found the desserts pretty small for the price paid. Save for that, a good experience.
The food was excellent and we had some great cocktails too. We also enjoyed the view over Southbank. Great place for lunch on the weekend.
Excellent food and service . I really enjoyed barramundi especially coriander sauce. Ambience was awesome especially the green bottles lantern. The decor and staff was excellent too
Last night we enjoyed a delicious meal at Bluetrain. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. Bluetrain is a very good option for a pre theatre meal in the south bank area.
Dumplings and saganaki rocks my world. Service was only so-so this evening and is usually much better - polite, but we waited quite a bit. Will do again because they are generally so "wow".
Our table of 8 had trouble speaking to each other as the music was loud. The food was average . Service was slow. We would consider another venue next year
We had a large table and had a time limit. So we were very happy with the service and food. The cocktails were good too. Good value at 2 for 1
Great vibe. Friendly service. Food is good, though perhaps not amazing, and maybe a little expensive for what it is. Had the seafood platter. It was definitely tasty, and plenty of stuff, just... Pretty good, not quite excellent...
Thank you so much to our amazing waiter, I'm sorry I don't know your name but you could see my child was struggling last night, she was crying, overtired and struggling with dinner, it was her bday and you were so patient and non judgmental with her... We appreciated this so much as you cant tell to look at her but she is Autistic and struggles with social situations.. I wish I knew your name so we could thank you! Dinner was amazing and service was even better! Thanks you for salvaging her bday and making us feel at ease.. Blue train is extremely family friendly and can't recommend highly enough! Many thanks!!!
Great levels of service and food was amazing. Much quieter on the outside balcony so that you can talk easier with friends. Waiter was great at leaving us until we called him so that we could catch up with friends.
Great food and service - and a gorgeous sunny day to top it off perfectly. Been a fan of Blue Train for many years and look forward to another visit when I'm next in Melbourne.
Staff were efficient and friendly on arrival for our group and seated us in a spacious area. Great selection on the menu. Meals and drinks came out quickly.
Good service, excellent food and we had a great experience. The staff were very helpful and helped celebrated my girls 21 Birthday. We had a good time
Food was great, atmosphere also great. Service pretty good, unfortunately we were there over a shift change and got a bit forgotten on the hand over, otherwise all good
The Food is fresh and portions are good. Great place to meet for a pre theatre meal as the location and service is excellent .
The staff at Blue Train were very helpful and friendly, which made for a great evening. Food was very good, service was prompt amd the location is ideal for guests travelling from different areas of Melbourne.
Food was good. But we struggled to get anyone to take a coffee order after eating. After 25 min waiting without service, we decided to just leave and go elsewhere for coffee and desert.
They were understaffed on a busy night when many diners were running to a timetable - in and out in an hour. It's a pity because the food is great and in good sized portions. We left without eating.
Great service...we were a group of 12 ladies and the young man was lovely. He was also contending with a group of about 30 for a 50th and little kids running everywhere. Great food and location too.
Great and helpful staff. They were accommodating and adjusted to our requests. The food was lovely too! Top view over Southbank precinct and warm atmosphere in the restaurant.
The staff were very polite and professional. They turned off the music in our corner for us so we could hear one another speak, which was really appreciated. Our in line booking had not been recorded by the staff so a table had to be prepared for us.
A good variety on the menu, from a small snack to a substantial meal; and all beautifully cooked and presented at reasonable prices. Attentive staff (without being constantly at your elbow) and nice timing between drinks and courses
The food and service was excellent. Highly recommend for a dinner with friends as they have a variety of options on the menu to suit every budget or taste.
Top service and the food was great. Location looking out over the Yarra River and to the City skyline. Highly recommended and has a casual feel about the restaurant.
I had a lovely lunch at Blue Train last weekend. My pasta dish was delicious and glass of White Sheep Sauvignon Blanc was enjoyable which l will definitely order again. The customer service was quick and professional. Always a great place to visit for a bite to each when you are on your way to the NGV and the Melbourne Art Centre.
Friendly Service, the staff were all smiling, helpful and were patient. The food is simple and tasty. The Atmosphere is relaxed with good views of the Yarra and surrounds
Food, drinks and location were great. We enjoyed! However, we sat really end of the restaurant so it was bit difficult to find the staffs.
For starters had the italian meatballs which had a very nice balance of flavours, highly recommend the duck rissotto for main course it was delicious. expresso martini was really good, friendly, professional staff
Great location and service. Staff were attentive and helpful. Drinks were always brought promptly to the table and the food was delicious. Will defo be back
Excellent views, food and service. Good venue for food before a show as it came out fast. Suited all members of the family with the variety on offer.
We went for a quick pre theatre meal and had vege, beef burgers and a pizza. We all enjoyed our meals! Staff and venue all very nice.
casual but sophisticated, service was prompt and all food arrived together. waiters were professional and at the same time easy to talk too. Nice place to catch up with friends and family.
lovely atmosphere and food. we were a group of 10 and well looked after by the staff. thank you for a wonderful evening - we hope to be back soon.
My children & I found this to be a busy, fun restaurant with promt service. Food was good aside from the calamari. Would go back again.
Great food selection, catering well for kids. Food came out for all guests at the same time and service was friendly. Recommended for eveyone and families.
Fantastic! We had a wonderful night, service was great, atmosphere friendly and food was beautiful. Top score for blue train we will definitely return. Thanks to all the staff
Staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. Two for one cocktails on Friday was also a nice surprise! We arrived earlier than our booking, but staff accommodated us without trouble.
All the food was great, the staff were really friendly and helpful! would recommend this to friends and family and will definitely coming back again!
Friendly staff and yummy food. Easy to book. Nice table for a large group. Food choice was good for a large group including kids menu
Good casual venue particularly for groups or families. The views are beautiful, good service and offers a bar for a before or after dinner drink.
