Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We came for a quick meal and it was perfect for what we were after, even got myself a cocktail pre movie! Will definitely be back again next girls movie out :)

Service was very slow. Food quality wasn't what I expected. My Caesar salad was imbalanced (too much bacon not enough lettuce) and expensive for what you get and the pizza base was bland but the topping had too much cheese. I'm guessing the lunch chef is still learning??

Within 45 minutes of starting a 7:30pm dinner we began being rushed out, with the explanation that the kitchen was closing as it wasn't busy.

When you have a limited time frame due to going to the movies, Groove Train is the way to go. Excellent service, value for money and food quality. Happy to go back again soon.

Steak was overly cooked, and we asked for medium. They happily changed it for us, pleased with that. Great service and food generally. Kids loved it too.

I’m a fan of Groove Train but the service was appalling on New Years Eve at Doncaster. We had to ask for menus, then we had to ask for water, then we had to flag someone down again to take our order. We had an ongoing joke with the table next to us about the terrible service. Luckily, the awesome cheap cocktails made up for it.

We received very good service from all staff ourselves, however a table next to us appeared to be forgotten a number of times and had to flag down wait staff to receive anything. Main meals were great, the cheesecake dessert from the fridge tasted like it had been sitting there for a while- would have been much nicer fresher. Probably won't bother with dessert there again.

The staff worked hard to bring everything to the table simultaneously for our party of ten and did a great job. The menu is comprehensive and the location ideal for a post movie catchup with friends.

Great night out, great food and entertainment. I had the hottie calzone and that was enjoyable, others had the calamari and that was tasty. Prices reasonable.

First the Manager was accommodating and wanted to make sure we were happy, so I don’t fault him or the waitresses. The food however was really bad. My order was missing ingredients and my friends order which was fish and chips did not look freshly cooked, and according to her was soggie and fishy. I am afraid this is not the first time we had a bad experience at Groove Train so I am not sure if we would be eating there again.

The only criticism was the wrap on the souvlaki was thick and tasteless. Everyone else finished their meals. Service was prompt on a busy Sunday lunch.

I used to love the carbonara here. Yesterday it was cheap, water and nasty bacon with steamed chicken. Fasta pasta standard. Blegh. Also all the staff have changed and the MD had no idea what was going on. So sad, I will return for a drink and the view but the food has gone to the dogs.

Ok for range of meals. Quality pretty average. Service was good and all fairly quick given that they were quite busy. Meal just disappointing in taste.

Ordered 2 cocktails and a veg pizza and dip platter, after over an hour our food still had not arrived and we watched tables around us receive their food. I asked the waiter who then went to check and then he came back and asked us "the kitchen would like to confirm what you ordered" We told him again what we ordered and he came back and said that sorry there was a mix-up and its on its way. He then offered us our next drinks on the house! I said that I can't have another as I'm driving so he said he would give us the ones we had on the house which was great considering the length of time we had waited for the food. 5 minutes later he then came back and said that he was sorry but his manager wouldn't let him give us our drinks on the house only 50% off. I felt sorry for him because clearly he messed up the order with getting it to the kitchen but then he must of told his boss who then who then said no. I felt embarrassed for him and annoyed that for waiting over an hour for a pizza and dip platter they couldn't even give us a drink on the house! Its supposed to be a fast service restaurant which is what we wanted so we had time to shop but instead it was long and the food was "ok".

Prompt and courteous service, excellent selection of food and beverage; and food served quickly and efficiently. Only thing I noticed this time compared to our last visit, was I needed to remind them to bring water.

Even though we had made a booking, Groove train said we had no booking when we got there, but did find a table for us. Some of us weren't offered drinks. Incorrect drinks order brought to the table, chips were served cold. Wine order forgotten, but still charged to us on the bill. Not an enjoyable meal

Always reliable food - a good solid spot for a quick dinner before a movie. I would happily bring my kids (6 & 8) here - lots for them to order and it seems very kid-friendly.
