This review is for Maxi Foods, Ballarat VIC

Always a reasonable place to go for groceries, a great selection of 'gourmet' cheeses which is most impressive for Maxi Foods, however the prices are extremely high for what would be reasonable. Maxi Foods used to be quite cheap but now compared to places like Aldi there seems to be not as many discounts as there used to be.

This review is for Lake View Hotel, Ballarat VIC

Unfortunately I've been let down by Lake View. Previous to the renovations I'd dined at Lake View numerous times, all being great experiences. However, since the renovations i've been to lake view twice and been left very dissapointed both times. The menu is quite limited with reasonable prices, I ordered the lamb pizza the first time, the lamb pieces were so large and thick that it was difficult to eat. This was undesirable, the second time an ingredient was missing from my meal. The staff were friendly and helpful. A+ service, but the food disappointing.

Approximate cost: $24

This review is for Regent Cinemas, Ballarat VIC

Going to the movies these days is so EXPENSIVE! i used to go to the movies all the time but these days its just way too expensive. Regent has great deals in terms of popcorn and drinks etc. however the tickets themselves are far too expensive and not worth going to when you can hire movies elsewhere.

Approximate cost: $60

I love Oscars' function room and the overall place itself has a great atmosphere, however the food is a let down. I've had dinner a few times here and have found that for the quality of the food in comparison to other restaurants it has been overpriced.

Approximate cost: $20

Overall not a bad little sushi place. Sometimes in the afternoons the sushi isnt as fresh as it should be. They should try and make it fresh throughout the day. Prices are however good and reasonable.

This review is for Capri, Ballarat VIC

Overpriced. By a mile. They get lots of customers due to their place in the bridge mall which is always busy. However, their prices are ridiculous! Also the atmosphere is far too cramped and awkward inside the cafe.
