Automatic Cafe Review

at crown casino,
Southbank
Phone: 03 9690 8500

Food
Mixed cuisines, a selection of pizzas and all manner of assorted dishes such as indian, pastas, steaks, asian. The tandoori chicken salad was very appealing. The steak is a bit more expensive on the menu, but cooked well. This restaurant/cafe is very much the sister to the Blue Train at Southbank, on the Yarra.
Service
Young hip waiters, friendly and helpful. Patient when we had a toddler with us.
Value
The individual dishes are of reasonable value. There are a range of prices depending on what you choose to order.
Decor and Atmosphere
Funky, modern and relaxed atmosphere situated right on the river with some lovely outdoor seating on a warm evening overlooking the city on the Yarra. Pretty casual.

Reservations office Ph:03 9696 4000

Food
Set menus are offered, there is not a huge range of choice, but this is a small mobile kitchen. With the limited facilites, they do a great job with the food and it's well presented and tasty. Some great wine too, or your choice of drink with the meal and journey.
Service
Efficient, well presented and informative.
Value
Ok, you'll pay a fair bit more than your average restaurant, but you are paying for a journey and an experience here unlike any ordinary restaurant.
Decor
Delightful, beautifully restored old trams. Reflecting a bygone era. Small but gorgeous.

A variety of different dishes available in different cuisines, as well as some of your standard fair like fish and chips or pizza
Service
Hip young waiters, good service and you won't wait too long for a meal
Value
Fair, prices have gone up a bit over the years

Casual atmosphere, not ritzy. A view over the yarra toward the city that can't be beat! I recommend a seat out on the balcony
