I have been to Mosiac twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. Their lunch menu is fantastic value and has a great variety. Dinner was great, I had my first paella and what a great introduction to this classic dish. All the ingredients are fresh and the staff are helpful and efficient. Great atmosphere and they have great bands on Saturday nights.

Approximate cost: $25

I have used Edible Blooms a number of times now for friends upon family members passing away. I prefer it because it brings smiles to faces at a sad time. Although they don't have sympathy arrangements as such there is plenty of room for your own message on the cards that accompany it. My friends have loved their bouquets/buckets of love and I think it is a great alternative to flowers for any occasion.

Approximate cost: $35 upwards

Had a birthday to celebrate so we ordered a whole lot of food to share. It was fresh and delicious. The staff were so very helpful and explained everything to us. We had tempura vegetables, kafiti prawns, assorted gyoza, wagyu beef and chicken breast for the grill along with sweet potato, broccoli, mushrooms and corn and it was all top quality. Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Hope to visit again soon.

Even though we had a booking the line for the buffet was out the door. You only get 2 hours to eat but half an hour of that was taken up by queuing for the table. Then no one told the customers that you could line up at each station so there ended up being a long conga line to get food so another half an hour was wasted. The only separate station was for desserts. Staff should tell you to line up at each section for the food you would like. Everyone started at one end and put tiny bits of food on their plate until they reached the other end. With a disabled child and 2 pensioners with us to get food for, by the time we ate there was only an hour to go. The food however is great, nice and fresh and kept hot. Would love to go again when they've worked out a better system.

Approximate cost: $29.90 buffet

I always order fried rice with no pork and always get rice that has had the pork hand picked out of it. What's wrong with cooking a fresh batch? Don't leave any behind if you don't want to get caught. It is expensive here compared to other noodle bars but it's location is convenient. Good if you can't be bothered travelling further for noodles.

Hadn't eaten here for years until a family dinner this week. My bbq squid entree was beautiful followed by a very tender and delicious veal scallopine. I shared some desserts, pannacotta, crepes and creme brulee and all were gorgeous. The chef obviously puts alot of thought into the menu and it show with unusual combinations that totally work. My veal also came with a semolina cake which was divine. Will definitely be back and recommend the Racecourse to friends too.

Have been several times and they get pluses for, free prawn crackers on arrival, fast service, entrees come garnished (not the case at other places) chicken breast is used for all chicken dishes, fresh ingredients. Wait staff are extremely polite. Best restaurant to go to during Chinese New Year too, it's a great night.

We had our work Christmas lunch here and the staff were accommodating all the way, allowing us to pre-order our meals which were then served to us within 20mins of arrival. I had a steak and it was cooked to perfection. Meals are a great size, you won't leave hungry. All my colleagues thoroughly enjoyed their meals too. The restaurant itself is spacious and it's family friendly. Will be back again.

We ate here as a family on a week night. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Our mains were absolutely delicious. Steaks cooked to order and great local produce. The lemon pepper calamari actually tasted like lemon and pepper. Would recommend to anyone.

This review is for Cody's Cafe, Wyndham Vale VIC

Cody's Cafe has a great menu which changes on a regular basis. It's open from breakfast through to dinner. Great place for lunch with the girls and is child friendly. Cody's also caters for functions as well. Food is cooked to order and you won't leave hungry. They have a pasta night on Wednesdays which is great value and a parma night on Thursdays. Home of the famous scorpion burger, hottest in Australia.
