Food was very nice, tasty and presentable. The atmosphere was great - lots of people in the restaurant. We had a table along the window - great view of the river and the city.

Food was good. Unfortunately the service was terrible. I understand that we had booked for 12, but your inability to be at all flexible when we had two more guests than expected was disappointing. It was the manner in which our waitress handled the situation, which was down right rude, that was the problem. She then proceeded to be unfriendly and surly for the rest of our time there. Most disappointed.

Loved the Blue Train. There were eight of us and we all loved our meals. Service was great. We have been before for breakfast, so it was our first time for dinner. Will be going back, for sure.

Food was good and reasonably priced for the location. Loved the decor. Was a few minor issues with something on the menu not available and a slight error in one order, but overall would return.

There were seven of us for dinner and we all had different choices and all meals were enjoyed. It was a meal before going to the theatre so we appreciated the efficient service.

I always have a great time at the Blue Train. The food is good and great value, there's always a vegetarian option. The aspect over the Yarra is lovely, especially if you can snag a window table. The staff are friendly which adds to the casual atmosphere and attentive enough without fussing.

We had a group of 10 for lunch - and were seated quickly and the order for drinks and food taken in an agreeable time. The food was tasty and we were all served together. However that was the end of the service. The table wasn't cleared until we finally asked and we weren't asked for more drink orders. Coffee and desert was also not forth coming. Yes I would come again, but they could do better.

Great location near the arts precinct. Great views of the Yarra River no matter where you sit due to the floor to ceiling windows. The service is very efficient. Lunch time $20 meal/drink deals as well as a children's menu.

When we arrived the table setting was x 2 tables of 10. I had asked to be all together. Staff rectified this. We were not made to feel like we are the restaurants bread & butter, however the food was very good.

Our party of 10 persons was seated at the far end of the restaurant and it felt like we were basically forgotten needing to get our own drinks and to gesture to the wait staff when we were ready to order after waiting for some time. Most of our drinks were obtained by self service journey's to the bar. Unfortunately on one of the couple of occasions we managed to get drinks delivered to the table the waitress managed to spill two stubbies of beer down my front and on my lap, shattering one of the stubbies in the process. While I understand accidents can and do happen it was the lack of effort to clean up that was disappointing. I was not offered a towel or any other means of cleaning myself and after a basic effort to clean up a large puddle of beer was left under the table as well as fragments of broken glass. It was only due to efforts but the group that the majority of the glass got cleaned away. Once again we had to seek assistance from one of the wait staff to get the puddle under the table wiped up so we weren't sitting with our feet in it. While I was not looking for compensation it was also disappointing that it was only after the issue was raised by a colleague who was quite put out by the poor response to the situation, that any effort was made to offer compensation which comprised a replacement drink and 50% off my main course. Sitting there in slowly drying, beer soaked clothes for a couple of hours was not pleasant. While the food was reasonable, the disappointing service exacerbated by a wholly inadequate response to the accidental spill made it an unpleasant experience for me and I'd be unlikely to organise another function at Bluetrain.

I loved everything about it except one of the younger waitresses spilt drinks on the first order and then brought wrong drinks and then wanted to charge us for delivering the wrong drinks. Apart from that, it was a great night

Delicious food, quick service and nice staff. Really enjoyed the experience and the process to book was very easy and straightforward. The staff member advised us it was going to get busy so that we may want to order quickly so we don't experience delays.

Nice restaurant and tasty food; although very hot when the sun was shining on the windows, and a bit expensive... The staff did not rush us out though, which was good, and booking was very easy...

Wednesday dinner for two people. Entrees, mains and drinks enjoyed. I had dumplings as entree and a wood-fired pizza as main and both were absolutely delicious. My friend had the vegetarian fritters to start and risotto as a main and he enjoyed both and the kitchen were accommodating with his dietary requests. I was surprised at how big the venue was… an enjoyable dinner experience :)
