The Colonel's Son — Restaurant in Melbourne

Absolutely loved dining here for breakfast!

The view of the beach is a beautiful backdrop to the dining experience which overlooks the shore.

The ambience is warm and inviting and chillaxed with soft electronic music in the background at just the right volume.

The seating is is comfortable and spacious and clean. There are a few seats to choose from and it's quite spacious despite the space being on the smaller side.

The courtyard section around the back is beautiful and gorgeous and has a jungle vibe with outdoor heating. It looks really nice.

The service here is so friendly and welcoming and attentive. Greeting everyone who walks in with a warm smile and a welcome greeting. They go above and beyond to make sure your dining experience is perfect. They are skilled at taking certain alterations and changes to coffees and food items.

The food here is simply just incredible. We sat her for breakfast which is available all day. The lunch menu is also available all day. The menu is simple and has a wide variety of common breakfast items to choose from. I made a dish out of a selection of sides with mushrooms and eggs and spinach and hash browns and tomatoes. Everything was so delicious and fresh and beautifully presented on the plate.

The mushrooms are cooked to absolute perfection with the perfect seasoning and freshness. The mushrooms were certainly a standout element of the food.

The scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked and fluffy and fresh and well seasoned. Just divine! The toasted bread is so delicious and perfectly crispy on the charred edges while soft and tender on the inside.

The drinks were also fresh and delicious and a lot of attention and skill is put into making the drinks. The orange juice is made fresh which is awesome! The coffee was hot and delicious and perfectly made! I loved the coffee quite so much! The hot chocolate was also delicious!

Overall I cannot fault this place for a single thing. Me and my companions had such a great experience here. The food is delicious and fresh and flavourful and the service is so welcoming a friendly. We will definitely be back and you should surely give this...

Came here for lunch today. Service was friendly. Food was alright, my beef burger patty was quite overcooked but it had a nice flavour. Chips are frozen before cooking, not freshly made (or that is how they tasted), aioli sauce was quite overpowering with garlic. I like garlic so it wasn't an issue, but it was very strong. My biggest gripe is the price. $22 for a burger and a small portion of fries. Seems a bit expensive, especially when the website says $20.50. I brought this up with the cashier at the end and showed the price on my mobile but still had to pay $22. If I went to Bunnings and showed the advertised price online was different to the store price, I'd get the store price. Fix your website or honor the customers price as shown on your website. To all others, please add $1.50 to everything you see on...

We visited for brunch and sat upstairs with the ocean view. I would have actually preferred to sit downstairs as it seemed a bit more lively however if you like a quiet space, upstairs would be best.

We always have almond milk flat whites which can be hit or miss but these were delicious! The food was tasty with average portion sizes not as large as expected from previous reviews? I had the dukkah eggs which was unusual- havn’t tried that before. It was tasty but I would say on the dry side as the bread was quite hard and the eggs were covered in dukkah. The fries were good! I had food envy at my husband’s eggs benny which was super tasty. However we felt that $6 extra for “salmon” was a bit steep for a small roll of smoked salmon ( as pictured).

Overall not bad but probably not good enough...
