The food is pretty good most of the time, can be a bit slow if they're busy, but overall it's a trendy spot to have a quiet or loud drink just about anytime.

I grab a Kebab here for lunch every now and then. I have never had a ad one here and boy are they big!!! The service is as you'd expect and they're all very nice to deal with even when they're flat out. I think i'll get lunch there today!

Mojo's put the "Weird" on Pizza!!! I haven't had one for about 3 years, but I sure remember how good it was, Steak, Bacon, Egg and Tomato It's perfect for any meal!
They deliver fast and the quality is A1. I'm going back soon.

This review is for Sebastiaan's Coffee Bar, Ballarat North VIC

Sebastian's have made no real effort at music or lighting, the menu lacks inspiration and when I asked that wait staff what they could do Gluten Free, the reply was "You can have the pasta can't you?" that left us with the option of nachosor salad! So we left without ordering anything.

This review is for Java Lounge, Ballarat VIC

verified email - 19 Jul 2007

I went to Java Lounge last night with my Girlfriend and 3 friends, we all liked the sound or the calamari, so we ordered 3 sweet chili calamari and 2 lime and pepper (one gluten free) and also 2 Nachos. The nachos were rather burnt but surprisingly that added an interesting flavor to the mix, however the calamari was considered by all to be very poor, my lime and pepper had only a hint of lime while my girlfriends was over powered with the lime. The service was disappointing as it was rather slow and the waiter was new and to boot there were only 5 other customers in there!

This review is for Dyers Steak Stable, Ballarat VIC

If you love steak and I mean really love steak, Come to Dyers! They really do it well and I don't mean "Well Done" as they say here "Steak should be seared in order to seal in the natural flavor and retain the natural juices". so "Our chef contends that this is best achieved in rare to medium cooked steaks and respectfully suggests to those who visit Dyers to try MEDIUM or RARE at least once." I had Pepper Steak with Brandy Cream sauce and it was just magnificent! Priced on average at around $25.00 per steak unless you order the Monster Steak at a whopping 1.5lb and costing around $50.00 you wouldn't go as often as you'd like but trust me you will go back as I have.

Approximate cost: $25.00

This review is for Kokopelli's Kafe & Ice Bar, Portland VIC

WOW! Kokopelli's, a great mix of modern in an old blue stone building, with a view of the Port of Portland and Portland Bay that is breathtaking. Craig is the head chef and boy can he cook up a storm, you're missing out if you don't try the Slow Roasted Lamb Shanks! they're to die for. Rebecca will make sure you're every need is attended too as she is the manager of the Kokopelli's team, they take great pride in what they do so the service is just Amazing. Now that I've had Tapas to start, my Lamb Shanks and a nice Glass of Shiraz (or 3) it's time to step into the Ice Bar to see Nik, Kokopelli's bar manager. Nik has just made me a fantastic cocktail, he calls it "Something Sensational" he puts it on the frosted ice bar for me to enjoy... WOW! To end the night, by the open fire in the courtyard, who could ask for more?
