we always go to this la porchetta when we have a family function & it seems to satisfy everyone & good value, the pastas are always good, i love the pesto & carbonara best & the pizzas are great as well, the only thing that didnt impress me was their tiramisu...it was too dry but over all good

i love taco bills frozen margaritas especially in the huge margarita glass, its always nice & cozy but sometimes i wished they had a little bit more room, because it can get squashy & waiting is always guaranteed when its busy, but i love their taquitos & mexican rice. service is always warm & personal.

loved tetsuyas, every dish was fantastic, the twice cooked chicken, wagyu, corn & vanilla icecream soup & sour apple jelly were my favourites, service was impeccable, their cocktails were awesome &i couldnt get enough, but my favourite thing at tetsuyas was the truffle & parmesan butter, i could eat that like ice cream!

This review is for Misty's 1950's Diner, Prahran VIC

A bunch of girlfriends & I made plans weeks ahead to go to Misty's, I already had an Entertainment voucher which allows you to buy 1 main meal get 1 free & only until I saw the feature on FoodSafari USA that we were serious in making the trek across town (we live up north) and the trip was well worth it, Misty herself was exceptionally friendly & welcoming as were her waitressess but only Misty was the charming one & we loved her American accent as it gave us that authentic feel. The servings were generous & food was very american which we wanted, the various sodas such as cherry coke was fantastic as we dont normally have those in regular restaurants, I especially loved the corndogs & pig out platter...I didnt have to eat dinner after that feed, I only wished there was loud 50's music in the background & Mistys should definetly expand as there was always a steady flow of customers & seats were almost always occupied, we will be back definetly.
