A popular place on a Sunday arvo so we (3) could only find a table in one of the rooms off the bar. This was ok and reasonably quiet. We ordered at the bar - steak and chips seemd like a good choice. Asked for some veges but this wasn't possible because no extras or changes could be added to the bar meals. Fair enough I guess so we ordered 2 salads to get our greens. Wine? a Yes - a basic Shiraz was $8 a glass! Normally we wouldn't but it was a birthday lunch for a friend so we splurged ... thought about buying a bottle but the prices were amazingly high so we didn't bother. The meals came quite quickly. The steak was ok if a little on the tough side and the chips - not a lot and very large. Hand cut according to the menu ... I guess if you cut them large you don't have to do as many and it takes less time? There was also some rocket leaves with the steak and chips. The salad came not long after ... though it was missing things like tomato, cucumber - the usual things you expect in a salad. It was just a bunch of salad greens like you can get at the supermarket with a oily, salty dressing on it. It was rather disappointing really - don't understand why places like this have to be so stingy. Next time in Healesville we'll be dining elsewhere!

This was one of the best pub meals I have had in a while. There is an extensive menu but we both went for an old favourite - Steak 'n chips 'n veges. A 250g rump steak for $23 ... great value and with our Entertainment book 25 % off voucher it was even cheaper. The steak was excellent - tender and moist and cooked just right. I usually get medium which has a fair bit of pink if it is done correctly - and this one did. The chips were large and crisp on the outside, soft on the inside - and hot. The veges were exceptional - plenty of them, steamed and tasty. They were still slightly on the crunchy side which is how they should be - not soft and soggy! A definite place to return to - even without the voucher!

Wow - big improvements since the last time I went a few years ago. A bit more expensive but well worth it. Extensive menu written in true Italian style with the First dish, second dish, main course and of course Insalata! (Salad) Variety of pizzas - 2 sizes - including 4 gourmet ones. Four of us had 4 differetn dishes. I had the De Fazio Special pizza - with extra anchovies - yum. Plenty of topping with juicy prawns, fresh ingredients and ok base. Another had the vegetarian pizza - also very tasty and enjoyable; risotto - excellent and warm chicken salad for the gluten free person - thoroughly enjoyed it! Good range of wine and beer too. Try the Red Angus Pilsener - a light almost fruity beer. The waitress was very helpful and efficient - thanks Shantelle! Overall a good night was had by all.

Approximate cost: $15-25

I go here often for a coffee - they make great coffee - or lunch occasionally. The food is ok and reasonable value. It is a friendly cafe and the service is good - very efficient and helpful staff.
