This has got to be the most average place I've eaten in Melbourne, the eating hall in the same complex offered more selection, better quality at a much cheaper price. Don't waste your money the food pickings is better a few metres down the hall in the eating hall the only difference is you'll get some service and your food... More

Just came out of the place and have never been so angry! The waitress was very, very, very, very rude. She pushed me into the table when I was trying to speak to a friend!! Couldn't split bills and all staff were rude! I would never go there again! More

Very average food at high prices for what they serve up. Overall, did not enjoy our meal and extra coffees we ordered never arrived although had been included on our bill. Staff were happy to remove the charge but I would have preferred the coffee! More

We had walked past Cervo with its lines to get in at night, but as this was a lte lunch decided to see if we would be lucky to give it a try. There were loads of tables and friendly staff waiting for us. We all had different meals, burgers, panini's, fish and chips etc - all wonderful. We enjoyed... More

The location is good, but that was marred by the appalling service and poor value for money. We were there around brunch time, and the place was only a quarter full. It took 15mins for someone to take our order; we waited 15mins for food to come out, which was half the size of what you'd expect for the price;... More

We saw that there were many diners and thought it must be okay, that was our first mistake. The service by the hostess was terrible, she ignored people waiting and chose more so to talk to the young men than anyone else. She seated a large group of Asian people and made them sit at two separate tables, never offered... More

We've just wasted over an hour with terrible service, wrong orders being delivered (including a disguised meat dish to a vegetarian), having to eat our meals separately due to the mistakes made by staff, having to return a glass with lipstick still on it, bits of our shah never arriving and despite all that we didnt receive a single apology....
