The food is fantastic! Best chicken pot pie in the world. John, our waiter, made the evening…read moreperfect.

2.3 for lunch. Service was painfully, agonizingly slow…read more Cheap is such a relative word!! After scanning the Urbanspoon reviews of this breakfasty/brunch/sandwichy joint right across the street from the beach, I would have expected cheap prices as well. But $16 USD for a lunch bubble and squeak (tasted fine, but not traditional at all), or a burger and fries for over what I would have expected to pay, a few smoothies, and cresting well over $30 for lunch. The sun was strong in this resort time, when we hit it up on a weekday... less people, more private feel. Easy drive down from the St Kilda area. We sat outside, and there are about 3 tables available (most taken, surprisingly!). The quality of the food overall was fair, portions were about average. Price was still little surprising. But easy to find, along the few eating establishments to choose from along the same strip (did not want souvlaki, or charcoal chicken here). Not too terribly much to look at it except cars passing by the highway lane.. It's a dinko seaside town, after all. Can't quite see Port Philip Bay across the way, and that was a crying shame.

The coolest looking cafe with trendy staff on Rye's main strip is nothing to write home about…read more.. But I guess I will...??... Sunday brunching there was an interesting experience, by far the best choice on the strip and the only venue with more than one table occupied. We think many of those there had at one point been dissapointed by the Conti (in nearby Sorrento) the night before. I guess for the fact that they seem chilled out, my major beef (pardon the pun) was the statement "No alterations for when we are busy" also $3 for extras is a bit rich. I had the breakfast burger which was good yet messy and tried some of my friend's Hollandaise Sauce. Super average and named after some random person. ... Probably won't be back! Would rather travel to Sorrento or Mornington
