Fantastic family restaurant, very helpful and friendly staff and the food was deeelish, even the kids menu was great with very appropriate portion sizes which I really appreciate!! Thanks for a lovely dinner!!!
A good quick, delicious meal, excellent for pre theatre, football, concert. Been coming to blue train for many years and never been disappointed. Delicious menu option, great drinks, staff always attentive and friendly. Came in last night after theatre before our drive home, busy time, footy at MCG, lots of families. Waited 10 mins at the bar and taken to our table, can't fault that, great Melbourne/South Bank institution.
This place is amazing. The food is great and diverse. There is something to eat for everyone. The decor is great. The vibe and friendly staff make it memorable. Most of all you get the great view of Southbank without the hefty price tag. I really think this is a hidden gem and I always take my good friends here. Bluetrain, keep being you, see you next time
The service was ok and the food was delicious but I found the price was rather high for what the food was. The steak came with chips but then we had to pay extra for our salads. They got bonus points for have a great Kiwi beer on tap.

We dropped in for a bite before seeing a movie and the staff were lovely - very helpful with suggestions that would come out quickly so that we could get to the cinema on time.
We shared the lamb shoulder pizza - good amount of topping and a fresh thin base. The lamb was nice and tender although personally I would have liked extra cherry tomatoes.
Cocktails are tasty and they have a good selection of beer and wine. Plus you can't beat the view over the Yarra. We'd definitely go back again and look forward to trying more of their menu.
Great views over the river. Food is good and service is fine. We had the seafood linguine, lamb blackstrap and ricotta gnocchi and enjoyed all of them. Also a good place for after work drinks.
Little bit hard to find. We had a dinning voucher so splurged for lunch . Very kind waiters service quick and prompt . Entree pork spring rolls $16 only 2 but delish. Salt n pepper calamari $17 enough for 2 very delish. Ordered a veal burger and a double trouble burger fantastic $24 each and a glass of kahlua. Total $95 over all experience fantastic

I have been here many times for pizza and burgers but this time i opted for a more pricey dish, i ordered from the 'Mains' selection and after the great experience i had last week at Sakura Kaiten Sushi, i was still in the mood for Japanese food and the Miso Marinated Salmon caught my eye so went with that. Before i start of the food, every time i have been here there has always been a wait and the good news is the waiting area is right next to the bar so it's a comfortable wait passing the time over a drink or two. Back to the food, my japan experience last year has made me a bit of an expert on what i expect when ordering Japanese and i love the fact that so many japanese inspired dishes are now available at non Japanese restaurants, cafes and pubs. When my dish arrived, my first thoughts were it's a tad small for the $35 i was paying as i was hungry due to the very cold night. However visually the plating was impeccable and i could not stop staring at it. One mouthful and i was in heaven. Everything that was promised was there and more, the seaweed salad, dollops of mayonnaise and fine pieces of what appeared to be lemongrass were all bonuses and unexpected. The edamame beans and soba noodles were delicious and the star of the dish as it should be was the Miso Marinated Salmon, cooked perfectly and a melt in the mouth experience. I was still hungry after i had finished and had to tuck into my friends coconut rice which was awesome. I didn't want dessert, i just wanted more of the salmon dish which is a real testament to the flavours. My friends' who had the Parma Fratellino were not impressed and the clearing of the table whilst one of us was still eating was not appreciated. After he had finished his meal, his plate sat on the table for a good 20 minutes before it was cleared. Anyhow i chose well, a very refined an authentically flavoured dish and highly recommended.
I had the corn chip crusted fried chicken burger. I haven't one of these before, so to find one here was a pleasant surprise, and a point of difference. I enjoyed it. The people who I went with enjoyed their meals, although I don't remember what they had because I was too busy eating my 'We're not in Kansas anymore' burg.
You're paying Southbank prices ($24 served with chips!), but with those prices you get some amazing Yarra-side views. Service was friendly. Great interior, lots of seats, kept clean, efficient service.
A good stable when in need of something that always works well. This casual dining experience will do exactly what you need it to. They will look after you, feed you well and leave you feeling satisfied. With enough of everything and not too much of anything, this place is a go to when in need of some comfort.
Went there for a early dinner and was very pleased! The service was good as well as the food, however nothing too spectacular for the price! The drinks were amazing as well as the decor !
Came in for a late dinner after a show at the comedy festival. Had the GSP platter for 2 and could not fault it. Absolutely fresh and delicious in every element. Friendly staff made it even better. Highly recommend.
A great location, with really scrumptious food. My eighty year old Mum really loved the burger! And the no. 7 pulled pork pizza was a light crust sensation! Definitely worth the visit 😁👍
Decent selection of Italian influenced menu. Food was lovely (paella and chicken curry) but service is very slow. Hopefully they can get back to usual speed as people get back into the city.
Great location, wonderful service and amazing ambience. Good place to go with family and friends or after work drinks. The only negative is too much salt for my taste. We ordered few dishes Bruschetta, Arancini, Salmon, Paella and Chimchurri Steak everything except Arancini had excessive salt.

Catching up with friends and Bluetrain great casual place to meet. Dinner for 5. Shared garlic cheese pizza and basil pesto bread with salami. Mains vegetarian linguine, chargrilled chicken, veal burger, pizza with tomato and vegetarian gnocchi. Oh and chips because no meal is complete without a side of chips!! Drinks red wine, sparkling, sprite, coke, flat whites and soy latte. However when arrived ordered soy latte and for reasons unknown it took 20 minutes to arrive. Also am I crazy but when wait staff come to see anything else required etc why do they never take the dirty dishes away?? It is so so inefficient and I never understand it. However food overall was excellent only criticism, aside from service, was garlic cheese pizza lacked cheese and the tomato cheese pizza could have done with bit more tomato. So would recommend as great place to catch up with friends or to go to before you see a show as we were asked that and at 7.30pm the place emptied! But unfortunately it does mean that you do have to wait for your meals so that all the theatre goers can be served first even if they have come after you. Bluetrain is an institution and everyone has to go there at least once. 9.7 4 of us for lunch. Shared garlic cheese pizza which was a big improvement on last one we had here. Mains 2 vegetarians had Nacho Libre burgers, while 1 gnocchi and 1 calamari. Wanted decaf soy latte but no decaf so decided to live on the edge and have normal caffeine!! Note chips were excellent.
One of my favourite places to go, great staff, amazing food and view if southbank is just breathtaking however, this time, they decided to close the kitchen at 1945 and forced us to either order before 1930 or we had to leave. It was a special occasion for me that day and ither restaurants wouldn't take us due to it no reservation so we ended up leaving without eating, and had only drinks and snacks.
At this level, we weren't expecting this sort of treatment as they said today its too slow day to keep the restaurant opened.
Nice place that overlooks the river.
I will definitely suggest that book a table before you visit as this place is packing.
The food menu is nice and wide. Had a good variety of finger food and mains. The pizzas and pastas are great. The variety of mains available makes it a good place for a group of people with a diverse pallet.
The house beer brews, the cocktails and the house drinks options are pretty decent. There are different sizes of beer servings that you can choose from.
The cocktails are pretty good as well. Overall, a nice place to hangout in the evenings.
Great place for groups and before the theatre. Loads of choice. Burger, pizza and share dishes like boa and spring rolls... then and the churos for desert!!! Keeps everyone happy
