Such a great Thai place. The atmosphere is really nice and the lighting sets up the mood really well. Staff were happy to make small adjustments to the orders. The food was great, but just a warning - the curry is HOT. Slight downside was that dishes didnt all come out together and mains came out straight on top of the entrees. However, it was a really enjoyable night and a great place.

Approximate cost: $20.00

Desperately needed my hair cut but the place i usually go was all booked out so i ended up here. Unfortunately i didn't have a very good experience. The hairdresser didn't seem to be to interested in me and it felt rushed - almost like she was trying to get rid of me as quick as she could. Didn't quite get what i asked for.

My sister and i popped in here for lunch after walking up and down the alleyway trying to decide which cafe to eat at. And i'm glad we chose this one. We both ended up selecting from the breakfast menu and the food was great. They have definitely got me hooked on poached eggs now. Fair sized meals with surprisingly lots of avacado. The only downside to my meal was the big splash of oil on my plate underneath my toast - couldn't understand why that was there and had to wipe it off. But otherwise our meals were really tasty. Coffee and tea took a while to get to the table though. The place was a little pricey but The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming and the staff were friendly and tried their best to accommodate to our needs. Must return.

Approximate cost: $15 - $25

Went on a Saturday night with my family and it was a great experience. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and willing to accommodate to your needs. The food took a while to come out (not sure if that's because they were busy) but when the food did arrive it looked and tasted delicious. The large range of desserts looked amazing and again tasted just as good. Definitely will go back.

This review is for Lakeside Banquet and Convention Centre, Taylors Lakes VIC

Been to this reception centre on two different occasions. Primary school graduation and high school formal. The large dancing floors and staircases make a very elegant and sophisticated room and environment for a special function, large or small.
I was in the small room around the side for my formal, and although it was a bit of a tight squeeze at the entrance (because there were so many people) it was a lovely room for a slightly smaller function. Everything was neat and tidy, food was great and the service was efficient.

This review is for Taylors Lakes Chinese Restaurant, Taylors Lakes VIC

Nice little place for good chinese take away food. Never dined in because the restaurant usually looks pretty empty. Staff are friendly and efficient. Many, many options to chose from which makes deciding difficult because they all sound and taste so yummy. They also offer a chinese smorgasboard dinner every friday and sunday night.

Good variety of pizzas, pastas and other main meals. The place to go for a very casual family oriented lunch or dinner. The food is nice, but pretty average - no real WOW dishes.

These guys have been around forever. Used to be our go to, number one pizza shop but have recently dropped off a little. Pizzas started to get a little bit too oily and toppings a little sloppy. That being said, they are still a nice tasting pizza.

Friendly, helpful and efficient staff. Seems like a very family friendly business. Pizzas taste great, are always on time and very good value for money. If you're lucky you may even additional soft drinks. It's our go to pizza shop.

Approximate cost: $9.00 - $20 (depending on size of pizza)

This review is for The Green Refectory, Brunswick VIC

If your lucky enough to get a seat, as it can get very busy, you feel right at home as soon as you sit down in this cute little restaurant/cafe. The un-matching tables and chairs give an inviting and homely feel to it and the service is friendly. I have only been for breakfast, but they offer a large variety of options, all of which are large servings at a very reasonable price. The french toast is easily a winner. You will not be disappointed.

Approximate cost: $10 - $15
