This review is for Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar, Geelong West VIC

Delicious pizza, extremely rich though, came to $63 for three pizzas, including the $2 delivery fee, but was technically $65 because the driver walked off without giving us our change, they have a very wide variety of pizzas, we ordered the peaking duck, the aussie, and the philly cheese steak pizza. Tried to order online but they only accept credit cards, so had to call to place the order. I would probably order from again if I felt rich, but make sure to have the exact change.

Approximate cost: $16-$30

Took me about 20 minutes to pick what to eat when we went, It's honestly a very limited menu, Hubby ordered the risotto as it was pasta night so it cost $22, and I ordered the scotch fillet with mussels, asparagus (which they replaced with Broccolini without telling me) and garlic prawns. The Risotto was absolutely amazing, I've never been a fan but this was delicious, it was rich with a hint of spiciness, and came with a complementary glass of wine or beer (Note that you only have about 2 of each to choose from, we chose the Shiraz, which complimented the risotto perfectly) The scotch fillet, was the best steak I've ever had, It was about an inch and a half in thickness, and cooked perfectly through (well done) the prawns were so fresh, and delicious, The mussels were buttery and perfect (they put 6 on the plate but only five of the shells actually had a mussel in it) Drinks are expensive, and they don't have the price of the drinks on the menu, was a bit surprised when we ordered a corona and a cosmopolitan, and the bill came to $21. Great experience though, can't wait to come back.

Approximate cost: $35

I don't usually bother reviewing big businesses, but I had to get on and let people know just how amazing hbc is! Over the last year I've fast become a regular, I've tried writing what meal I would recommend but it's hard as i've pretty much tried everything on the menu and I've never found something I didn't like. The prices are a little bit pricey, but the quality is truly worth it, with 2 people our bill usually comes to a little over the $100 mark, that's with a starter to share, two mains, and 2 alcoholic drinks each (I recommend the sand in ya pants, and while the name of my favourite drink escapes me, it's the only one on the menu with blue caracuo and lemonade, delicious!) I also have to say that an employee name "Seacrest" is an absolute asset to this restaurant, I seem to get him every time we go in, and he's always polite and has a smile on, not often do I find a restaurant where time after time the service is great.

Approximate cost: $25

Very Disappointed in the food here, came about 8 months ago for my birthday breakfast and was very surprised at the pricing (about $10) for a bacon and egg sandwich, which was incredibly dry... to the point i didn't bother finishing it, the pokies area is ok, honestly nothing to brag about, and they seem to have a cell reception blocker (found this out when somebody had been trying to contact me) Upon enquiry a staff member told me that they have a cell phone blocker so people don't disrupt other people gambling, all in all the only positive thing I have to say is how friendly the staff are.

This review is for Bridal House, Geelong VIC

Huge thanks to KJ! She made my wedding dress shopping experience easy and enjoyable, helped me find my dream dress and advised me where to get wedding bits and pieces. If you go to Bridal House expect straight up that alterations will need to be made to your dress, the dresses I tried were not true to size, I ended up picking a dress that while it said was a size bigger than my size, but was actually quite a bit bigger (had to be taken in about 4 inches at the sides) while others at the same size were tight on me, also be prepared that the alterations are expensive, I paid $300 for having the dress taken in and a few inches off the length, but it really was paying for quality I believe, having gone over the dress religiously I found no flaws, the seamstress is truly a professional and I was able to pick up my dress 3 weeks before I was due to. If you are having alterations, you'll be taken upstairs, so be careful of the stairs (they're old and rickety) and watch out for pins in the changing rooms, almost got pricked on the foot while changing.

Approximate cost: $1200

This review is for Kebab Spot, Geelong VIC

Amazing kebabs, I mean simply amazing, they are so generous in the servings of meat and garlic sauce that you really do get value for your money, the employees are so friendly and always have a smile, it's open from 12pm onwards so a perfect lunch or dinner, been coming here for the last 4 months and haven't had one complaint. If you appreciate delicious food I recommend the mixed kebab, $10 and it's stuffed with marinated lamb and chicken, lots of vegetables and amazing garlic sauce :)

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for The Yarra Hotel, Geelong VIC

Great family atmosphere if you go before a certain time (we went at 7pm) the chicken parmigiana is delicious, they have a smoking area outside which is undercover, only downside is you have to order at the bar because they didn't wait on tables. Prices were average pub prices.

Approximate cost: $10 - $20

This review is for Torquay Fish N Chips, Torquay VIC

Great food, it's always packed, especially in summer with tourists. the souvlakis were ok, the fish was perfect and delicious.

*Edit* Went back a couple of days ago, Souvlaki's tasted disgusting (lamb tasted like it had been soaked in cayenne pepper) and paid $5.00 for a piece of flake fish, it was literally about 15cm in length and was mostly batter.

Delicious souvlakis, a little bit on the pricey side, but well worth it if you appreciate a good meal, the chips are great, and the homemade tartar sauce is amazing.

*Edit!* Please Read!

Officially stopped going here 6 months ago, got my order home, had a taste of the tartar sauce and it tasted like there was alcohol in it, called and inquired, I got laughed at followed by the man on the phone asking the cook if there was alcohol in the tartar, apparently no, I have no idea what it was to this day, but it tasted like whiskey, haven't bothered to buy from them since just in case.
