I've been to this restaurant twice and have enjoyed myself. Service is great, great atmosphere, its always busy (in a good way) and the menu is relatively large. It offers a range of meals from pasta to wood fired pizza to steak and even butter chicken! The kids meal is also great and they even get a free serving of ice cream once they've finished their meal!
However i did find that the food was slightly bland. Don't get me wrong it was still tasty but was just missing that 'umph'.
I've also noticed a breakfast menu and am keen to try it sometime soon :)

Took my family here when they came from overseas and honestly it was an experience we will never forget.
We did opt out for the individual - more expensive - tour guide and it was incredible. We were driven around by an extremely friendly staff member. He took us off the normal track of the tour and we got up close to all the animals, even the rhinos! The animals are considered 'wild' since they are free to roam around the open area. A giraffe came towards us and my son had the opportunity to touch it. Was truly wonderful. Was unbelievably expensive but absolutely worth every cent.
When my family come down next year we will definitely be staying in their hotel and see the moonlit sanctuary that they offer.

I am addicted to online shopping (I know, I have a problem!) but whichever website i buy from I make sure that they use Paypal or are Paypal certified. That way i know its a safe transaction and that the site i have made a purchase from does not have my credit card details!
Whenever making a purchase online for a family member, I use my account instead of using their credit card (since they don't have a Paypal account).
Its safe, secure and efficient. If you have a dispute with another person, Paypal will be able to resolve the dispute as well.
Definitely a thumbs up from my end.

It was the first time for me to ever shop at Thomas Dux. I loved their variety! Presentation of the shop was great and well organised. Although a relatively smaller grocery store than usual, it stocked pretty much everything. The range of organic and gluten free options was impressive. I must admit it was a bit pricy though!
I had left the shop very happy and satisfied. That day we bought fresh coconuts for the drinking water inside. Trying them out that same day - they had a very strange and horrible taste. Looking at the expiry date, both coconuts i had bought were past their 'best before' date by 2 days! I found this very disappointing.
Regardless, i believe i will be a regular customer there.

Went to the Donut King kiosk at the Glen at around 5:30 on a late-night shopping night.
I had to yell 'Excuse me' four times before I was served, even though they had no customers.
We asked for these new apple cinnamon donuts they were offering and the lady who works there said the machine is being cleaned and needs 4 hours to do so even though it is not right to do so!
We settled for some vanilla glazed donuts that were $3 each.
The donut was so unbelievably stale! It was clearly old, dry and hard as a rock!
I usually enjoy Donut king's donuts but this specific shop was a disappointment!

Decided to gather a group and go rock climbing for the first time in years. Hardrock helped make our experience that much better.

It was clean and organised. The staff were constantly walking around helping customers out. They held introductory sessions every 30 mins or so to ensure people knew what they were doing. Equipment was all provided and since we were students we got a student discount! The amount we paid entitled us to one full day of rock climbing regardless of how many times we left and came back.
We found it easy to get there as it is walking distance from Melbourne Central train station.
We ended up staying for about 4-5 hours and would definitely do it again! Have been recommending it to my friends ever since
All in all, it was a great experience

I love this restaurant. Most of my orders have been takeaway but their Wood fired pizza has that authentic italian flavour to it! It is a family owned business and the owners are friendly, wonderful people. I ordered a pizza to go in the store, and the owners sat down with me and had a good chat until my food was ready. I highly recommend trying the Ortolana gourmet pizza. Can be more expensive than your ordinary corner pizza shop but i find it is worth the price.

This is a very cute, youthful cafe that mainly serves breakfast and brunch. I highly recommend trying their smashed acovado it is beyond delicious! Food, service and atmosphere are wonderful. The downside is that they only accept cash, it is EXTREMELY busy on a weekend (once it took them one and a half hours to seat a table of 5) and they do not make bookings. Otherwise one of the best places to have a yummy breakfast.

One of my favourite coffee shops in Melbourne. It is conveniently located next to me and I plan most of my meet ups here. Staff are unbelievably friendly. Love their coffee and dessert. Had dinner here once & ordered the butter chicken and my friends ordered a burger. It wasn't the best meal but considering they don't specialise in Indian food we left satisfied! The smoked salmon bagel is a must have. It can however get very busy on the weekend.

Undoubtedly the best Greek food you will have in Melbourne! The staff there are extremely friendly, the food is fresh and tastes delicious! If you order the banquet you get a number of greek dips and dishes including both seafood and meat. It can get very busy and the service will be slower due to the number of staff but its worth the wait!
