Mietta's Review
St KIlda comes to Balaclava with a very creative menu - nothing plain here - and lots of good looks including a courtyard at the rear. This is for those who love the rumble of the trains and are bored with classical Australian cafe cooking and want something different like a fillet steak sandwich with wasabi mayo, $11.50.
