This is modern Australian dining for Ballarat. Because it's Ballarat, it's overpriced and a reasonably uninspiring menu. It gets pretty crowded because there's not many modern Australian places to eat in Ballarat. Just ok.

Meal was nice but I feel a little over priced. Can be very noisey and hard to hear as gets very crowded at times. Service pretty good considering the crowd. Lovely coffee and cake.

Approximate cost: $varies

The best way to summarize my experience at Gee-Cee's is pretty much a felling of "Meh..." - While we didn't experience anything horrible with our table of fours meals... there wasn't much 'wow' factor coming out.

Everything feels like its got a premium price attached... being right on Sturt St is maybe the hook, but there wasn't anything exciting... The vegetable spring rolls were nice and fresh, But I'd expect that for $16 bucks for 6 of them.

My Chicken Pad Thai: "Meh.." first few bites with some fresh coriander we alright, but then it was just unflavoured, boring and just gave you the "I'm sick of eating this" Moment you shouldn't get at a restaurant that you pay good money for. This also was the case for two other members at the table who ordered a chicken pasta dish, nothing happening flavour wise.

Service was a little lacking, took some time to bring our drinks... Mains took their sweet time - and there wasn't any reason to justify it as the place wasn't that busy and it was a dinner service in the middle of the week.

All up, expensive pub meals... not the worst place to have a meal, but there wasn't anything that caught my attention that would make me crave to return.

Approximate cost: $20-25+

Great food, great service! But its jam-packed! There is never any room to move, even on quiet weeknights.
I still can't stop going there, though. The food is divine, the staff are polite and the fruit infused water? amazing.
Love the atmosphere!

Like many of you I have had mixed experiences at Golden City. I haven't been a big fan.

However, I went there last weekend and the meals were spectacular. By far the best meal I have had in Ballarat for a long time. In fact all the meals on our table were great. So perhaps they have picked up their game a little.

Still very noisy and cramped, but based on the meals I will certainly return for another shot in the near future.

Approximate cost: $25

Generally a pretty good meal. The Lemon dusted calamari is one of the best going around and usually a pretty good specials menu too. Nice coffee & desserts too. Sometimes can be very noisy.....but, I guess that means it's just busy, so a good problem to have if you're the owner!

The food is OK but is a bit inconsistent. Have been served burnt parmagiana before. Their Mars Bar cheesecake is pretty decadent and tasty. The tables are very small and the seating is extremely cramped - they totally pack you in like sardines, which is very uncomforatable and not good if you're slightly claustrophobic. It also becomes so loud that you have to yell just to speak to the person next to you, so the inside atmosphere is a major negative overall. Probably OK on a nice day if you get a table outside.

fantastic food and coffee. woodfires, outdoor areas, nice decore. the upstairs function room/balcony is a beautiful venue for any celebration

Approximate cost: $15

Fairly average place. Not very impressive food but a nice place to go for a casual coffee. Feel the menu is a little deceptive about the 'complexity' of the meal you're getting. Not bad - but not great either.
