The Central Grind — Restaurant in Victoria

I went here with one other person and we ordered the Ploughman's toastie to share and each got a spiced chai. The toastie itself was alright, nothing special though.

Eggs your way: my partner felt the entire meal had a odd taste, was cold and very little amount of the bacon was consumable. The hashbrown came out ulate and was cold, is didn't taste very at was under cooked, soggy and appeared to been heated on a hot plate.

The watermelon smoothie: was bitter as it seems flavour balance wasn't right at all.

Was also quite surprised at how high the surcharge to use my card was. With very little to advise the...
