Service centre used for a road worthy on my motorbike. They were fast, friendly with their service and did not mind a chat about what was to be done and how. Stated price upfront when asked and stuck to it with no hidden extras. Seems like a quality outfit and would use this service again.

Great new little shop for chicken take-away. Stop by here for great value and tasty charcoal chicken and fresh crispy chips with seasoning not just salt. Some of the best value around with 1/4 chicken, chips,pineapple & banana fritter for $8.30 only and chicken rolls $5. Great tasting, standard takeaway service thats friendly but nothing special but all good value. Food never too oily or too salty.

Approximate cost: $8

Wow what a venue. Very lovely and romantic setting but not as large inside as first impressions from the outside may make you think. Elegant decor and professional, attentive and friendly staff from the guy at the bar to the waiters. Chunky and creamy chicken and corn soup was delicious but wanted more then the Pumpkin Agnolotti was tasty but could have done with stronger flavour but the portehouse was tender and juicy and the white chocolate pudding was amazingly delicious. Very filling and endless drinks made the night very enjoyable.

Nice, clean and somewhat classy looking venue inside of a refurbished old local corner pub. Great bar and meeting place for drinks although if you want a meal the prices did not look cheap. Have had drinks here only so cannot comment on food but it did look good on the plates I saw carried by the staff.

Have been a member here in the past although I have let it lapse. Friendly staff usually and ok place for families as has a kids play area. The usuall pokies and bistro/pub style place although located in not to neat area. Food is basic but generous and prices are reasonable. Their parma is usually the best they offer in my opinion.

Have been a member here for years and the venue has food and pokies. Staff always friendly and plenty of regulars attend. Food here is a cross between pub counter food and a cafe/bistro. Good heart meals that are not too expensive. Exactly as I expect it all.

New Bistro near my in-laws. Everything is clean, fresh and new and a good new play area for the kids as well. Very family friendly. Dinner booking was handled ok and the girl that showed us where to sit was smiling and friendly and made small talk while we arranged ourselves and explained the buffet. Wife loved the calamari while we both had pumkin soup then I had Mongolian beef and dumplings all quite tasty and fresh looking. Fresh fruit to finish off was nice also.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Golden Pheasant Buffet, Reservoir VIC

Had a friendly gathering here for lunch which we were invited to by friends. The place is not very cosy or intimate, very bland and open but it is kid friendly. For the price I don't think there is a better buffet around the Teriyaki beef, Honey chicken and dumplings were delicious, food is plentiful and choices of stirfries, pasta, roast meat & vegies, noodles, salads and sweets are plentiful. No real service to speak of after ordering and sitting but they do keep the buffet well stocked. For the small amout you pay I don't know how they do it all. (Dinner is $20 which is still a bargain).

Approximate cost: $15

Stopped by here while at shopping as looked new and interesting (ie: eating off wood platter instead of plates). We tried the Shawarma and the Mixed grill, both dished were not finished as simply too large and we mentioned this to the staff as did not want them to think we did not like it (although the Sujuck sausage was a bit dry). Friendly staff who seem to be husband and wife team and stopped by to chat with us while serving.

Approximate cost: $14.95 -$22.00

My wife and I were impressed with this place from the first look in. Classy enough inside and a cool bar area to stop by in. Great selection of vegie, fish and meat (duck, beef, pork, chicken) meat balls and pick your own sauce. we had a hard time deciding what to try and finally decided on chicken meatballs with white sauce and beef meatballs with tomato and polenta. Plenty of sauce and we shared so we tried each others dishes and both were mouthwatering. Friendly service and were not rushed at all. Will try again for a different combination.
