Great for a quick decent feed at lunchtime. Meals are quite large and cost between $8-12 at lunch time, so great value for money. They dont do table service so have to go to the bar to order. Occasionally they are understaffed and the ordering takes for ever but the meals come out very quickly. You can have functions here, and is also a great spot for a few drinks of an evening..

Approximate cost: $8+

I have been here on several occasions as it is in town and close to work and shops. I can recommend the chicken parmigiana it is always a great meal. They have just extended the eating area which makes it much easier to get a table. Not the quickest in town for lunch but a lovely meal.

Approximate cost: $15+

This review is for 63 Degrees, Highton VIC

We have been here for a few breakfast meetings and I really like it. You can make changes to the menu items without the staff getting annoyed, so you can eat what ever you really want for breakfast. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the food is reasonably priced.

We popped in here for breakfast on Sunday and were pleasantly surprised. Having heard it was the place to go for breakfast in highton I was expecting a price to match its reputation. However we ended up with breakfast under $10 per head including coffee which was a nice change to Pakington Street prices. We sat outside in the sun for breakfast, a great start to the morning. And we picked up a loaf of bread for the week whilst there...

This review is for Charlies Bar & Bistro, Waurn Ponds VIC

This is now my new local pub so have been down there a couple of times lately. The food is quite good (although this week they mistook me saying medium rare instead of medium well for my steak, which was not ideal for me! ), the service is friendly and there are pokies if you are interested in some after dinner entertainment. There is a nice sized room for private functions, which has been in use most of the times we have been there. Not my favourite but am sure will go again as it is convenient.

This review is for Imperial Rhino Contemporary Noodles Sushi Bar, Lorne VIC

We went to the Rhino for a friends birthday dinner over the weekend. The food was so great, we had seafood platter for entree (delicious Moreton Bay bugs), lamb shanks and grilled barramundi for mains. I have eaten their once before and had the best satay chicken stir fry so they also do great asian style food too! Awesome night, will definately be going there again soon!

Had breakfast here on the weekend. Service was friendly and food came out relatively quick for a busy sunday morning. I felt like something that was not exactly on the menu but the chef made it up for me which was great! I usually get the pancakes with white choc sauce and frozen raspberries which is awesome!

Love to go here before a movie (close to cinema), lunch or a night out with friends. Cosy restaurant with beautiful Italian food. Recommend the home-made gnocchi with bacon mushroom and avocado sauce! Bookings are a must is a very popular restaurant.

We ate here last night for a friends birthday. The staff were very attentive and the food was fantastic, can recommend the petite eye fillet with mushroom sauce!! The restaurant was very busy but that did not effect the service at all.

A cute little restaurant, great for dine in or take away. It fills up quickly (which is a good sign) so you need to book. We go here so regularly that some staff members know my name, which is a nice touch!
