Potluck — Restaurant in Melbourne

Potluck is wall named. Be prepared for pot luck when you visit this restaurant because of poor service and a long weight for your food to arrive from a very limited menu.

The evening started badly when the two elderly Jewish ladies upon receipt of their meal rquested that we would all like to eat together and requested their meal be returned and kept warm until the other meals ordered were ready to be served.
