Lovely Italian restaurant within the Docklands precinct. I have dined here many times over the years, both lunch and dinner, and by far my favourite dish is the warm chicken salad.

Some would consider this place expensive, however considering it in the heart of the Docklands restaurant precinct, I believe the prices are acceptable.

The staff have always been very nice to us on each occasion we have dined there and we've hand no issues with service, apart from being slow when the restaurant is at capacity (ie, mother's day, father's day, christmas, etc).

Approximate cost: $20

Nice noodle place with lovely, flavoursome food. Very quick service if you are in a hurry. Great home-made mini spring rolls - highly recommended. They currently have a $5 lunch special.

Approximate cost: $9

Can't beat this casual restaurant for value and quick service. The food servings are MASSIVE, two people can easily share one main meal. You certainly get value for your money at this restaurant and that's why whenever we are there it is always busy.

Approximate cost: $15-25

Went here for a friend's birthday dinner. The food servings were tiny and lacked taste. I asked for my steak to be "well done" and it came out medium-well (still too pink for my liking) and there were no sides at all - basically just the steak on the plate.

My sister had the chicken parmagiana. I've never seen a chicken paramgiana presented the way it was. It was basically a crumbed chicken maryland coved with a tomato based sauce and cheese - yes, bone still intact. As mentioned, this is certainly different to any other chicken parma we've every seen.

On another note, we had one 8yo child dining with us who ordered off the children's menu. We asked if his meal could be delivered asap as it was starting to get late, others in the party were having entrées and he was hungry. The staff said that was fine, however they completely forgot to delivery his meal. It wasn't until all the adults had been served their main meals and the poor child still hadn't received anything that we had to call the waiter and ask where on earth his meal was.

We certainly will not be returning to this restaurant. We thought it was overpriced compared to the serving sizes and there are better restaurants within the Docklands precinct.

Approximate cost: $26.5-32

Nice noodle place located within Highpoint Shopping Centre at the McDonalds food court end. The noodles are freshly cooked to order and always have plenty of flavour. Not bad at all considering it is "food court" food.

Approximate cost: $7-10

Excellent cafe with a variety of hot meals available plus a sandwich bar.

The hot meals are $10 per plate which is piled high and always very tasty. There is usually a chicken dish, roast lamb and pork, chicken schnitzel, hot vegetables, chips and various other hot dishes.

The staff are welcoming and friendly and are always willing to let you sample dishes before committing to a selection.

Fantastic food, fantastic service, fantastic staff, fantastic prices, fantastic cafe = 5 stars!

Approximate cost: $10

By far the best fish and chip shop ever! I don't know what it is but everything is sensational at this place.

I always ask for the "Hunky Dory" pack with grilled flake. The spices they use on their grilled fish is sensational. The pack consists of fish of the day, 1 dim sim, 1 potato cake and chips for $9.90. I pay the extra $0.50 for grilled flake.

The staff are always vibrant and friendly and the place is always busy at lunchtime.

Approximate cost: $10-15

Fantastic noodle shop. The staff and wonderful and always friendly and welcome you as soon as you walk in the door.

The noodles are tasty and have plenty of flavour. They have a wonderful lunch deal where you get a small noodle box with a can of softdrink for $6.90 = BARGAIN! They also have a dinner family deal with 2 large and 2 small noodle boxes, but I can't remember the cost.

5 stars all the way - no complaints from us! :-)

Approximate cost: $6.90-12

Lovely Thai restaurant opposite Etihad Stadium. The food is very tasty and reasonably priced.

The staff are always friendly, however the language barrier is a little difficult at times when ordering food, asking what items are included in the dishes, etc.

I highly recommend the pad thai and the pineapple fried rice (sensational).

Approximate cost: $15

This is a fairly new fish and chip shop. I can't fault the staff or the service as they were excellent.

The fish was very fresh (thumbs up there), however the batter was very oily to the point where it left the paper saturated (thumbs down). The chips were only so-so.

It's certainly not the best fish and chips I've ever had, although not the worst either. We haven't been back since our first visit though.
