Until about 3 years ago, I was a regular visitor to their ground floor, corner restaurant, enjoying tasty, reasonably priced food, the atmosphere and watching the passing parade, exiting Flinders Street Station. As I stated, I hadn't been there for about three years, due to work commitments. Fortunately, I erroneously thought, it would be a wonderful opportunity to introduce my new wife to that lovely place.
What bad idea that turned out to be. My lovely wife, who is a fanatic for chocolate sundaes, immediately ordered one, only to tell me that it was disgustingly tasteless and refused to finish it.
For lunch, she ordered a minute steak and vegetables. Her steak varied in thickness, ranging from wafer thin to quite thick. The thin end was as tough as shoe leather and the thick end was almost raw and tasteless. However, she enjoyed the veggies.
I opted for a gigantic burger. What I received was served cold, the burger was dry and tasteless. In fact inedible. The glass of wine that I ordered with the meal ($12) was forgotten and had to be reordered. It was served in a very small glass less than half filled (a bottle costs around $22 at a liquor shop).
The table service was lousy at best and, no doubt due to Young and Jackson's current reputation, The restaurant was almost empty.
Needless to say, we will never be going back!
