This review is for Lower Plenty Hotel, Lower Plenty VIC

verified email - 29 Aug 2017

I had lunch here recently and sat in the bar area, where they were playing the Foxtel AFL games. I ordered a bowl of chips with sauce and aioli and they tasted absolutely incredible, however it did cost $9 which I thought was a bit expensive. The decor is modern and there was plenty of seating, which was a bonus. Also the staff were really friendly and kind. I received my meal quickly and service staff removed empty bowls and glasses promptly.

This review is for Summerhill Hotel, Reservoir VIC

I had a quick meal at this hotel and was surprised by how friendly and accommodating the staff were. I was immediately given a table, due to visiting in the quieter hours of the day. They have a Sports bar and bistro, which serve hearty pub food all at a reasonable price. The atmosphere here is great and puts you in a good mood. I received my meal very quickly, which was a bonus and it tasted great too. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

This review is for Reservoir RSL, Reservoir VIC

I celebrated my grandfather's birthday here and it was a fantastic day out. The service here is very fast, so you don't have to wait long for your meal and your whole tables order comes out at the same time. I ordered the lasagna and it tasted absolutely delicious and the rest of my family were very pleased with their dishes. We were served by a very kind and welcoming staff member and finding a table was completely hassle free. I highly recommend you spend a nice day or night out at this RSL.

This review is for Misty's 1950's Diner, Reservoir VIC

verified email - 16 Aug 2017

I love visiting this quirky diner because it feels as if you have stepped back into the 1950's, due to the unique decor and pictures of old Hollywood movie stars on the walls. It was easy to find a table and when first seeing the menu I was excited to see so many meals that originate from America. I ordered a burger with chips and the serving size was very large and exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and made you feel very welcome. A great hidden gem that I will happily return to very soon.

This review is for Vulcano Gelato, Rye VIC

verified email - 14 Aug 2017

Vulcano Gelato is a place you have to visit if you are on the Peninsula because they sell some of the best gelato I have ever tasted. The service was very fast because in Winter this shop is pretty quiet, but during the Summer the line can go out the door. I bought chocolate flavoured gelati and it was absolutely delicious, but the prices are rather expensive, but keep in mind that they do give you a decent serving. The person serving me was super friendly and welcoming, which was good to see.

This review is for Clarendon Hotel, Newtown VIC

The customer service is great here and the staff are very friendly and they all make sure you have an enjoyable experience. My table and I ordered schnitzels and didn't even have to wait 15 minutes for our meals, which was very impressive. The portion sizes were really big and were at a low, reasonable price. This is a family friendly restaurant, so you can bring the kids along on a nice day out.

This review is for Mubble Gourmet Ice Creamery, Sorrento VIC

verified email - 12 Aug 2017

A great little ice creamery on the Mornington Peninsula with a nice selection of unique flavours. You can order ice cream, thick shakes, etc. and you can sit down and eat after you have ordered. They give generous servings at a somewhat reasonable price and the staff are always lovely. I ordered chocolate ice cream as it is my all time favourite and it was rich and creamy, absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

This review is for Fish Fetish, Sorrento VIC

verified email - 11 Aug 2017

I love visiting fish and chip shops and Fish Fetish would have to be one of my favourites. The decor when you enter the store is so unique and resembles an old beach shack. Their fish, chips and potato cakes are so crunchy and have the perfect amount of salt. The person serving us was friendly and welcoming and made our meal very quickly even though it was a bit busy. This shop is also in a great location as it is just across the road from the beach, so you can bring your food with you and have a picnic on the sand.

Approximate cost: $17

This review is for Grand Hotel, Frankston VIC

verified email - 11 Aug 2017

I always visit the grand hotel in Frankston whenever I'm in the area because every time is a wonderful experience. I ordered the pork, which was cooked beautifully and afterwards I had one of their delicious desserts. The staff were very kind and accommodating when entering the restaurant and found me a table almost immediately. I also received my meal pretty quickly even though it was quite busy and the prices were alright considering the overall size of the meal. Will definitely be coming back here.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Teapot Cafe, Eltham VIC

verified email - 11 Aug 2017

I have visited this cafe numerous times and every time I go here there is always very friendly, bubbly service. The staff are quick to greet you and make sure you are pleased with your experience. I ordered the fish and chips with salad, which tasted absolutely delicious. I also ordered a coffee and the barista did fantastic coffee art on top. The prices were also reasonable when considering the high quality. All in all a great experience and will definitely be coming back here.
