This review is for Fish Dish, Melbourne VIC

We bought an online voucher for lunch at Fish Dish and WOW what a fantastic meal we had yesterday! The flavours are cleverly put together and incredibly good. I enjoyed the flathead tails and will certainly go back to try some of the other dishes!!! The restaurant is situated downstairs from street level beneath the Crossley Hotel. It has a bar upstairs as well. Do yourself a favour and try this place out before it becomes a hot spot and you won't be able to book a table for months!

Approximate cost: $30.00

We dined at Spice Temple for Valentine's Day. I have some special dietary requirements and made them aware when making the booking. They kindly emailed me a copy of the set menu to ensure it was suitable. The meal was great and I really appreciated how they weren't perturbed by my dietary requirements. Look forward to going again and tasting dishes off their regular menu. Thanks guys!!!

We walked in without a booking wanting a quick meal before going to the movies. We were kindly shown to a table. The attentive waiter suggested an Italian wine which was really lovely and we ordered our meals. It all went south as soon as Nathan Buckley and his wife were shown to the Juliet Balcony for dinner. I think every waiter in e upstairs dining room were helping to get them seated. It was ridiculous. Needless to say the service from then on was completely non-existent! Such a disappointment and a dampener on our evening. We even had to hunt down a waiter to get the bill. As a result, we won't be going back in hurry.

This review is for Costco, Docklands VIC

You have to experience Costco at least once in your lifetime! Everything is BIG. I particularly find value in the beautifully filleted and deboned fresh local seafood, oysters, the variety of cheeses, antipasto, fruit and vegies when catering for a crowd. The cakes look amazing but I haven't tried any.

This review is for The Vineyard Restaurant & Bar, St Kilda VIC

We dined at the Vineyard because we wanted to see the Baker Boys perform. The food was surprisingly good! The Vinyard was only offering 1 dessert to choose and my dining companions enjoyed it very much. Great place for a casual catch up, listen to a great band and have a really tasty meal!

Pat is a hairdresser who listens and delivers on style, cut and colour at very reasonable prices. She's not close to where I live, but I don't mind having to travel to see her. So if you are in need of a new look, contact Pat.

This review is for Lost, South Yarra VIC

verified email - 09 Dec 2011

We redeemed a voucher and the 'package' we got is certainly carb loaded. We found Lost to be a great place to go before or after seeing a movie at the Jam factory. Their pizzas are thin based and very tasty and their pastas deserve a mention too.

We redeemed an online voucher and dined at Charm Thai recently. The waitresses were charming and helpful in determining what was gluten free. The food was pleasant and everything on the menu appeared to be very reasonably priced.

This review is for Riva, Elwood VIC

My husband and I had lunch at Riva yesterday. This venue is amazing offering various dining options and views. The food was a taste sensation and they have good quality wines on offer by the glass too, namely the Yarraloch Arneis. Service was faultless. We are holding an event at Riva early next year and felt assured of its success after this experience. Watch this space and I'll let you know how the event went.

This review is for Dock31, Docklands VIC

My husband and I love seafood and hadn't been to Docklands for a very long time. We stumbled across Dock31 late Wednesday afternoon where the temperature was still warm. We were impressed with Dock31's extensive menu and decided to dine here. It was hard to choose what to have! We opted for the seafood platter and I have to say every morsel was fresh and items on the hot platter were beautifully cooked. This restaurant is owned by Regal Seafood so one would expect the quality to be outstanding - we weren't disappointed. Josh the Manager was very friendly and efficient as were the other wait staff who looked after us. My ONLY gripe would be that they need to add an aioli with the other accompanying sauces. We'll certainly be back again. There are other dishes we are keen to try!
