Rusty's Cafe Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Melbourne

I recently visited this cafe with high hopes, drawn in by the promise of a beautiful view. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired.

Pros: View: The only redeeming factor was the stunning view. The cafe overlooks Sorrento Beach and the pier, on a clear day, it's truly picturesque.

Cons: Price Tag: Let's address the elephant in the room—the prices. For two breakfast mains and two coffees, I ended up paying over $80. That's quite steep, especially considering the quality of the food. Unfriendly Service: The service was downright unfriendly. A little courtesy goes a long way, and unfortunately, it was lacking here. Seems like based on other reviews, this is a prominent flaw that is experienced by many

While the view is undeniably lovely, I can't overlook the hefty bill and the less-than-welcoming service. If you're willing to splurge for the scenery, go ahead. But if you're looking for a warm and friendly dining experience, you might want to explore...

Very disappointing place, i don’t recommend wasting your time here. food was way over priced for what was given. Brought waffles for 25 dollars which was cold and waffles you buy at Woolworths but half the size, and a parma that was made with two small chicken fillets slapped together with a piece of cheese on top to disguise it. It was thinner than paper. The bowl of chips we also brought for a fair amount seemed to have a handful of chips in. We then asked to talk to the manager and got verbally abused by the man who claims he’s the manager but somehow didn’t “know” anything about where the food was from. The lady was also very rude towards us. The man also told us he’s never had any complaints about the food but we watched a family complain to him about the food when we arrived.

These people shouldn’t be owning or running a business. As working in hospitality myself everything about this place and the workers...

I had the worst food experience at this place. Sorrento is a beautiful place but this place just brings disgrace. The $19 Belgium Waffle is three piece of frozen thawed waffle which is not even thawed properly. It taste stale and dry and I could taste the crunch was of sugar. The “compote” is pure thawed berries without sauce. The $24 “Norwegian” Benedict is a piece of smoked salmon and pouched egg on a small muffin I don’t know what was Northern European about it. Rubbish. The hollandaise sauce is a cheap fatty salty thick squeeze from a super market bottle. As much as I like to support local business and I don’t like to leave negative reviews, this Resturant or I don’t know if you you can call it a restaurant. They are just thieves, that everyone should stay away from. All dishes are simply assembled from cheap ingredients from the local super market.

Stay...
