This place used to be great, but since the change of ownership its gone downhill. I probably wouldn't bother anymore. Plenty of other great options around North Melbourne for a good feed.

If you're into relatively poor food for a fairly middle of the range price then this is your place. Of course you're unlikely to be wanting that, so I would suggest going elsewhere. Also the atmosphere is about as pleasant as hospital food court. If you're in North Melbourne and wanting breakfast I'd suggest Grigons and Orr (http://www.grigonsorr.com.au/menu.htm). You'll pay...
