I recently dined in a large group of ten. The food and the views of the ocean were amazing. But the service was very, very slow. It took over half an hour for our drinks to arrive and we waited at least an hour for our entrees. Make sure you eat before you leave home as the portions are very small and it seems the service is very slow. Luckily we dined during the week when they had some mid-week specials otherwise it would have been a very expensive night out as this is not a cheap restaurant!

Approximate cost: $35

The food here is very average. We had to wait a long time for service and even longer for our meals to arrive. Lucky it was half price night! Parking is also a problem on a busy night as the car park fills up very quickly.

Ricketts is a lovely place to go for coffee and breakfast on a Sunday morning. The decking overlooking the beach is fantastic. And the view is fantastic. In the winter you sometimes see some whales glide by. Staff are always friendly and attentive. The food is yummy although a little bit pricey.

Approximate cost: $15

This is situated at a good near the sea-side location. A great place to go on a summers evening. Its very spacious and airy. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Their Pizzas are well priced and quite delicious. The 'Rocky Special' is a particular favourite. And the desserts are yummy too.

Approximate cost: $20

We keep coming back again and again becuase we love the Pizza's at this branch of La Porchetta. The Pescatore is our absolute favourite! The staff here are are delightful! They are just so helpful and can't do enough for you. A little gem in the middle of suburbia !!!

Approximate cost: $15-$20

I went with my husband for dinner on a recent Saturday night. The place was very crowded but the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our food was served very quickly and with a smile. The 'Happy Hour' between 4pm and 7pm is great value. Yummy cocktails such as Strawberry Daiquires for $7.95! Saying that the food was very average and quite expensive considering the size of the servings. Take note they serve their Bruschetta cold! By the end of the meal we were both really full and felt a bit bloated !!!

Approximate cost: $32.50

We always pop in when we are in Healesville. Its very spacious, sometimes a bit noisy but the staff are always friendly, helpful and full of smiles. We like to sit in the booths. And love the access to the free Wi-fi! Also love their delicious pizzas and great coffee. They have an open kitchen so you can see everything being made. As we are leaving we always grab a few loaves of freshly baked Turkish Bread and some goats cheese. Always full and highly recommended !!!

A good place to stop for a quick cup of coffee and a quick bite to eat. The coffee is pretty good but the food while filling it is a little ordinary. However it has reasonable prices and the decor is modern and clean.

Approximate cost: $ $10

This cafe was quite busy when we visited. However we received excellent and quick service from the friendly and smiling staff. We enjoyed a lovely pot of tea and some truly scrumptious cakes. This is a really nice place to spend an afternoon catching up with a girlfriend!

A nice type of breakfast cafe. They serve really good and strong coffee and do a variety of breakfasts. The staff provide quick service with a smile. And prices are very reasonable.
