Great food & value for money. The only minor gripe was waiting almost 1 hour for our meals. Would recommend to others.

Great place to catch up with friends. Great atmosphere on a Friday night. Waited too long for our meals, but our waitress Svetlana was absolutely great, professional and quickly dealt with our food waiting time.

Delicious food and good service. It was a lovely evening and we’ll definitely be coming back another time. Ordered the seafood linguine and chicken burger. Both were excellent. The range of mocktails was a happy sight for my pregnant eyes and both drinks ordered (pineapple/passion fruit and a melon mocktail) were refreshing and tasty.

Blue Train offers consistently cheerful service. The menu offerings are good. Food quality is also good. It's great to have a river and city view to accompany the meal.

We had a great night at the Bluetrain cafe. The food is delicious and the service was very good. We needed gluten free meals and the team at Bluetrain did a very good job catering for our dietary requirements.

The food was good however we waited way too long to get our meals after ordering. The restaurant wasn't even busy so not sure how they would cope during busy times.

Delicious food. Though very narrow spaces for tables and Happy Hour only being available to drink at the bar should be on the menu for the future :)

The server that looked after us was grumpy and made us feel like all requests were too hard! We don't get to go out often as we all have children so we were disappointed to have been treated so rudely. I was the one who suggested this place but will definitely not be going there again. What was supposed to be a great night with family & friends was soured by the service.

Great restaurant lost count of the number of times we have been but on this occasion that waitress although very nice and polite had little knowledge of the menu or drinks menu which was frustrating as we had a visitor with special dietary needs.

Food was lovely except the Tiramisu which was predominately cream with zilch cake/biscuit (we were a table of seven, so for only one item to be very average is actually not bad as the rest was great- think we got the corner pieces of the Tiramisu). Great seating, lovely views. Greeted by the lovely Ellis, then served by a very ordinary waitress who did not want to be there. Crossed over the table to take our plates, cleared plates before everyone was finished- she just did not care and never smiled or made an effort. I once did the same type of work and sometimes (especially on NYE or other momentous occassions) I didn't want to be there either but I NEVER EVER gave that away to the patron. It was a shame as it took away from the experience which I personally can live with but wanted the children to truly have a great night (it's not always just about the food).....

We had an enjoyable experience. Friendly staff and great table overlooking the Yarra. The food I had was good- I suggest you check the menu to see if they have food you like. Not a great range for someone like me being gluten sensitive but there was something to enjoy for all four of us.

There was a long delay between placing orders and meals turning up. Three of use ordered the rib eye steak and asked for it to be medium / well done but we all considered the steaks to have been a bit undercooked.

A great dining experience with great service. We had a garlic and cheese pizza for starters followed by mains of lamb backstrap, barramundi, and French chicken washed down with a nice little pinot. Overall costs were very reasonable and plate sizes generous.

Friendly unpretentious service. Varied menu that allows you to have something elegant - confit of duck, or something more down to earth - a burger. Well priced wine list

Haven’t been here since Bluetrain was remodelled. Fancy fancy now. Slick. Had four pizzas and chips. Food is 4/5. The cakeage fee for plates and keeping birthday cake cool was pricy (and a surprise).

The food was quite good, although the service was a bit lacklustre. The vibe is not as groovy as the old BTC. Disappointing to find that the advertised “2-for-the-price-of-one cocktails, from 5 till late” offer finished at 8pm. 8 ain’t late, in my book.

The service was okay. But the food was terrible. We waited over 35 minutes for 2 meals. When they arrived, the fish was well over cooked, the other meal was cold except for piping hot chips.
