Enjoyed an excellent birthday meal at Cafe Botticelli. As well as the usual, excellent menu, they had a great special $32 menu. We all enjoyed a choice of entree and main or main and dessert, plus a glass of wine for $32. The choices were limited, but the food was great. I thoroughly enjoyed Lamb shank with mashed potatoes and veggies and a superb sticky date pudding with praline and caramel(?) sauce (Yum).
Staff were very attentive and friendly which is always a big plus. Great place, we will be back.

While out for a walk I decided to pop into this cafe for a light lunch. The decor and service were fine, but I found it quite expensive. Don't know if it's just me, but I was shocked to find a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich cost me over $7. So a simple, quick latte and toasted sandwich cost me over $11. Can't fault the service and taste of the food,only the price.

Enjoyed an evening meal here recently. The food was pretty typical pub food, which suited us fine, we weren't out for fine dining. The menu was fairly varied and all food looked and tasted good. Although it was fairly busy the service of the meal was very quick. Overall a good place to meet for a typical pub meal.

Attended a group function here and have come away with a mixed impression. The function room was excellent, with it's own bar and food ordering system and toilets, which made it very convenient and user friendly. The service was also excellent, with friendly staff and the food was served quite quickly. The menu however, was a bit confusing and most dishes were quite expensive and quite 'fancy'. You had to search to find the cheaper ($23) Parmy or fish, but once you did, you did get a good sized serving. My husband did comment that his $32 steak was perfectly cooked and one of the best he's had. A friend tried the scallops and although she liked it, it was a small meal. Of concern, was she was asked if she wanted a small or large serving, she asked for a large and the meal only contained 4 scallops! So overall, a bit of a mixed review. If you would like to try some different and interesting meals this would suit you, if your looking for more traditional pub food maybe not for you, unless they have a different menu from what was available in the function room.

This review is for Tony's Restaurant, Belmont VIC

Went to Tony's for a girls night out. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and prices are very reasonable. Great Italian food, including great pasta dishes. My vegetarian and gluten free friends were also catered for. Decor is fairly basic, but is clean and tidy and the staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back again.

Enjoyed a coffee and cake here, recently with friends. A great place to meet up, with a pleasant outlook, easy parking and good coffee and cakes. The cakes were however a bit on the expensive side at $7.50. They have a great outdoor area for the children, but if the cakes are any indication, it would be expensive to feed a few children. Meals are available, but we only had morning tea here.

Have been to the bistro at the Colac RSL on a number of occasions, with family. It has never failed to provide a delicious meal. The food is fairly standard fare, including huge Parmis and roast dinners. Meals are reasonably priced and you always get a good sized serving. Desserts are also excellent. Will return.

This review is for Belmont Hotel, Belmont VIC

Went here recently with friends and was a bit disappointed with the food. The menu makes the food sound amazing, but I found my meal was not as good as it sounded. I had the stuffed chicken breast, which I found a bit dry and all the lovely stuffing ingredients really had very little taste. I also thought the meals were a bit on the expensive side. Must say the atmosphere was good, it was a quiet night and the service was good.

This review is for Internode, Adelaide SA

Changed to Internode about 12 months ago and have never regretted it. It is cheaper than our old service and we haven't experienced any problems. Speeds are great and we don't have to worry if we go over our monthly allowance, as the cost is the same, the speed is just reduced. Like the fact we can pay monthly and can use B Pay.
