Went here for dinner with my husband. Nothing special to write home about. I ordered the chicken parma, my partner ordered the porterhouse steak. I thought the prices were a bit steep, because the meals weren't any better than what we've had elsewhere for a cheaper price. Restaurant was noisy and we were seated squashed in a corner which didn't impress me. Will not be returning.

Approximate cost: $25.00

I've been here several times. Great value for money. Meals are a decent size and you feel like you're getting your money's worth. Good menu with all the regular faves (chicken parma, veal parma, fish etc). Meals are fresh service polite. Play area for the kids which is good.

Have been here 2 times for lunch with my in-laws. It's 'smorgasboard' dining. I was disappointed in the lack of variety on offer - the 'smorgasboard' seemed to be dominated by asian/thai dishes, which is fine but I felt there should have been more variety. The food was very basic, roast beef, veggies, mini pizza, salads etc. Limited dessert selections. Wouldn't go there again, many better choices to choose from.

Love the food here, hate the prices. Everytime I eat here I feel like I'm beoing ripped off because everything on the menu (drinks included) are so overpriced. A dessert (like a banana split) is the same price as a main meal, which to me just doesn't seem right. Service is ok, nothing special. This place is in business and people keep going here because not many places make good pancakes. Pancake Parlour does, but you sure pay for it!

I love this place and have been going there since I was young. Best gelati in Melbourne in my opinion. Friendly service and great variety of gelati flavours. They also have chairs and tables out the front so you can sit and eat your ice cream while watching the traffic go down Lygon Street. My husband loves their gelati as well and we'll keep going there for as long as they're open.

My husband and I went here one saturday night for dinner. We ordered garlic bread, when it arrived it looked very cheap. The garlic bread log I buy from safeway looked better than what we got. We ordered pizza and when it arrived it was rather greasy/oily and total disappointment. We'd rather go to Mc Donalds than this place.

My husband and I went for dinner here and it was very disappointing. My husbands steak was ok, nothing special. I had the chicken kiev which was overcooked and dry. When I complained to the waitress about my kiev, the response was 'oh really? I'm sorry about that'. Nothing else. I think it would have been nice for her to offer a free drink or dessert to make up for the disappointing main meal. I was not impressed and would not go back

What a disappointment. I ordered the mini chicken parmigiana and it was horrible. A tiny dried up piece of chicken - kfc looks better than this. The fries were greasy and cold and the salad was very bland. I left feeling ripped off, as the prices are not cheap. My husbands steak was undercooked and had a lot of fat on it and he was very unhappy with it. We definitely will not be going back.

Reasonable prices. My husband ordered the porterhouse steak and I had the traditional beef lasagne. We've visited this restaurant many times and have always had a good experience. Service is fast and friendly and atmosphere is relaxed and quiet, perfect for a romantic night out.

Approximate cost: $16.00

Quality takeaway for a reasonable price. Meals are freshly cooked and service is fast. Large menu selection to choose from. My husband and I visit this cafe once a week, usually on a friday or saturday night. I regularly order the beef dinner box, which includes beef and veggies and steamed rice for $8.50. It has always been good. I highly recommend their special fried rice and dim sims as well, they're great.

Approximate cost: $10.00
