What User doesn't like about Ponyfish Island Cafe:
Looking around and seeing that it was highly ranked, I entered the place celebrating our engagement and staff were rude and abusive. I complained about a cracked glass to a bar staff member and they were dismissive and horrible. When you see my other reviews I talk about customer service, this isn’t customer service.

Melbourne has no shortage of bars restaurants, but this one is very unique. A pontoon bar smack in the middle of the muddy Yarra, beneath the Southbank footbridge.Menu is simple with items like quesadillas, Antipasto or toasties, fast friendly service, the place is constantly busy even in Winter. what a great way to experience Melbourne.
