This is a good place to go on a summers day for a couple of cold ones on the deck. the atmosphere of the place is its huge drawcard. i agree that the service can vary quite a bit. I have had numerous times when I have had to get the attention of waiting staff because they weren't attending to their tables but gathered chatting to each other. the food is nice, it is expensive for a cafe style pub, but servings are reasonable.

This is a pretty good Chinese restaurant. the food is tasty without being exceptional. It is fully BYO so this adds value to its appeal. The staff are friendly, and their takeaway service is efficient.

This is a high quality Chinese restaurant. The staff are amazingly attentive, and Ken is a gracious host. The food is absolutely delicious. The seafood san choi bow is amazing as is the honey pepper filets. I am yet to try anything on their menu I didn't like. The decor is quite nice. It is a great place for a special occasion or meals with friends

This is a busy busy restaurant. Excellent for a family gathering with kids. The menu is extensive, but the prices have been creeping up over the years. Their pizza's for takeaway are awesome with loads of toppings. They are also a bit on the pricey side but you do get what you pay for here. My ratings above are for dining in, as far as take away pizza goes its 4 star.

One of my fave Indian restaurants. Very basic decor, but the food itself is awesome. Prices are reasonable. It's BYO with small corkage charge, and they will also cater for larger groups upstairs. Their breads are amazing and I personally can't go past the Chicken Tikka! A must for all Indian lovers.

This shop offer great value packs, and are happy to vary. I think their fish servings are quite generous compared to other shops I've been to. Their chips are fat and golden and the shop is always busy.

They are accurate in their pick up times also.

These Pizza's are amazing, delicious, inventive, extraordinary. I am not a vegetarian, but I would have one of Ali's pizza's over any otheer pizza I've ever tried. They are all vegetarian, stacked on high and hearty. They are value for money. The shop is very rustic, very St Kilda, the service is fast and very friendly. There are over 15 different types of Vegetarian pizzas to choose from. Ali caters for gluten free and yeast free diets as well. Truly healthy, truly worth a try.

I was able to get an appointment at short notice as a first time patient which was amazing to help relieve my pain. The staff are very friendly, reminder phone calls are part of their service, and they even rang me the next day to see how I had gotten on overnight. Gerry the dentist is extremely professional and thorough. Makes going to the dentist almost bearable

I have had several big event cakes from this shop. They are amazing!! The presentation and eye for detail is exceptional. I found the service to be exceptional, nothing was too big an ask. My cakes were always ready and one was even delivered to the required location. If you require an unusual cake, or a cake with that WOW! factor, you need not look anywhere else except here.
