Intermezzo is right opposite the Village Cinemas in Southland's busy restaurant strip. It is always busy and the perfect choice for a meal before a movie as the meals are fast and delicious. Mainly Italian cuisine but very tasty and they have one of the best Parmas in Melbourne, without a doubt! All main meals are reasonably priced around $20-$25. Service is also great!

TGI's at Southland shopping centre is a great experience for all the family, great service with a smile, everyone seems really happy here. Great atmosphere too! The food is great, lots of variety, each time I go I try something new, nothing has been disappointing. A few times the wait for food has been a little lengthy (45 mins) but it's not consistent and still worth it! Their cocktails and mocktails are DELICIOUS! Highly recommend!

I have been to Wok A Wok a couple of times in the last 6 months and although they specialise in Malaysian, Thai and Chinese cuisine, I specifically ordered from the Chinese dishes. The food is delicious, fresh and we didnt have to wait long, approx 20 minutes. Their home made dim sims are to die for! The staff are also lovely and it did make me want to dine there again.

La Porchetta in Mornington has a lot to be desired when it comes to their meals. The meals are huge but the food itself is not fresh and no taste - very generic and bland. We dined here in March this year and ordered the chicken parmagiana and brushetta and both meals were very basic. Definately not worth the money that was paid. Staff were disinterested in our feedback. I wouldnt visit this restaurant again or recommend to friends or family.

Horseland Keysborough is my local saddlery store and I often shop there when there are sales on or if I need something in a hurry. They usually have what I want in stock and if not they are more than happy to order it in in one or two business days or hold it at another store if I cant wait. Charissa and Fiona are lovely girls and are always more than helpful with great advice and a good knowledge of products. Highly recommend them.

I have been dining at Thi Thi for many years now, as have my close friends and family. The owners are really lovely and as 'regulars' they often come over after our meal and say hello and make sure you were satisfied with the meals. I have a number of favourites, from the spicy chicken, combination hotpot to the Vietnamese 'in house' spring rolls which are delicious. All meals are very reasonably priced and we get a very decent meal with entres for around $35 (feeds 2-3 people). There is a heap of competition in Springvale but Thi Thi is by far the freshest I have experienced in the area which has always had me coming back again and again... Highly recommend trying them and seeing for yourself!

Pizza Fellas Carrum Downs was my local 'go to' pizza place for quite some time - The pizzas were packed with toppings and their Tandoori pizza was a popular choice in our household. However since it changed hands earlier in the year, the pizzas and service have never been the same and we found ourselves opting for the new Pizza Hut store that opened in the same area. I hope they take on board this feedback and improve their service and pizzas to be more competitive with it's new competitors in the area.

This is without a doubt my favourite restaurant on the Mornington Peninsula! Awesome food - from the gourmet pizzas, tasty risottos and the nicest Brushetta I have EVER tasted! They definately do not skimp on the toppings (pizzas included)! I have been many times and love the 'family owned' style atmosphere and the warm, friendly service - Highly recommend!

I visited this venue in February 2013 and found the venue's atmosphere unique, intimate and inviting. The staff are warm and friendly - Service with a smile! The meals were tasty, fresh and well priced and were served within 20 minutes. I was particularly fond of the Sikh Kebab - great taste and I would go back just for this alone. Highly recommend to those who like a nice atmosphere.

This venue has lovely staff and the food is great. This was my first Indian restaurant experience and it was here that I fell in love with Butter Chicken. Now, since dining at other Indian restaurants I still think they have the BEST Butter Chicken I have tasted! Love it. Would highly recommend for a pleasant Indian dining experience.
