My husband and I have been here a few times and have always had a nice meal. The staff are friendly and the food is good. It isn't far from where we live so it is convenient for us to go when we can't be bothered cooking. I have also been to eating house in Rowville. The salads are lovely and there is a nice wine from Margaret River.

This isn't the type of restaurant you would bring a date to. A typical Chinese/Malaysian restaurant that doesn't have the most beautiful decor however the food more than makes up for it. Very inexpensive and the quality of food is second to none. The curries are amazing! We have tried most things on the menu and have always left feeling extremely satisfied and talking about when we will come again!

Approximate cost: $9 - 15 per main

My husband and I love eating here. They do the best steak in town. The prime rib steak is marinated for over 18 hours. It is so tender that you can cut it with the back of your knife! There is a range of different steaks as well as chicken, fish and vegetarian. A huge Drinks menu including cocktails!! You can even order a smaller portion instead of a huge main meal so you can fit in dessert! Or you can order an even bigger sized meal normal if you are feeling extra peckish. The friendly staff always find a spot for us even if we don't make a reservation and are very helpful. We never have to wait long for our meals. A relaxed environment where we have fun every time we go.

This restaurant is absolutely stunning. I may be a little one sided because this is where my husband and I got engaged so it holds special memories for us. We sat on the deck overlooking the water. The food was beautiful and the atmosphere was amazing and very romantic. The staff were really friendly and accommodating. This is the type of place that would still be lots of fun with friends as well as someone special. My husband highly recommends the crab!

This is a wonderful jewellry shop. You can purchase jewellry from the display or work with the owner to create a unique and special piece. My husband designed my engagement ring with the owner to meet our budget. We also purchased our wedding bands from here. He matched my wedding band with my engagement ring and used high quality diamonds at a very reasonable price. Especially since he hand made all our rings from scratch. The owner makes all the jewellry himself and they are of a very high standard. Huge variety for everyone.

This is the very first store I went to to try on wedding gowns. They have a huge variety and the second dress I tried on was the one I ended up buying. I wanted to buy it on the spot but thought I better have a look at other places before I bought it. I ended up coming back to it though as I knew I would. The staff were extremely friendly. They don't work on commission so they weren't pushing you into anything. They were helpful and suggested things you would never think would actually look good on you! Huge range of veils and jewelry to complement the dress. They also passed on a lot of discounts for shoes and dry cleaning which was really helpful. All the gowns are handmade and flown in from overseas. They have a few designers including Maggie Sottero who has perfected the corset over the last 8 or so years. The detail in these dresses is amazing and well worth the price. They also have their own alterations department which is an extra cost however I felt safe with them doing it as they work with these gowns all the time. They make you feel like a princess!

We purchased our wedding cake from Ab Fab cakes. We had a 2 tier wedding cake with chocolate mud, white chocolate mud and marble with rough marzipan icing, handmade icing flowers with dodda vine. It looked amazing! They delivered it to our wedding reception place on the day so we didn't need to worry about it on the day. They have a variety of different flavours and work with you to create exactly what you want. They have a huge showroom with wedding cakes, birthday cakes, special occasion cakes etc. You can even taste test all the differen cake flavours.

I LOVE this place. My husband and I come for breakfast all the time! The food is scrumptious! Between us and our friends we have had most things off the menu and it's always been amazing! We have had lunch here once as well and it was yummy! The staff are really friendly and the atmosphere is funky and laid back. Anyone would feel comfortable eating here. Eat and/or drink inside or outside (heat lamps on when its a bit chilly).

We had our wedding reception at the Pumphouse hotel in the conservatory. It has it's own entrance and is a beautiful newly renovated function room. Reasonably priced and not as expensive as hotels in the city. Beautiful glass roof with lantern balls hanging from the ceiling that glow at night. The staff on the night were fantastic and very attentive. I must admit that the owner could have been a bit more helpful - Before booking he said he could MC and when it came to a few weeks before he decided he couldn't do it . Not sure if he was just stressed out but was a bit unhappy with that. Don't let this detract from the fact that we had a wonderful night and everyone still talks about what a fabulous time they had and how the food and wine was spectacular!
