This place has never been *wow* but it used to be a reasonable choice to stop in for a few dips and a beer/wine before seeing a show in the docklands. This time we thought we'd stop past on the way home from work after I felt like something tasty to eat.............. Shame on me!
I'm not sure what's happened, but all I can think as I write this is 'what the hell?!' The change in management has bought this place to something that would make Coles cafe look awesome.
I won't go on and on except to provide an example of the 'traditional greek lemon potatos' They were a tiny bowl of literally the same wedges I heat up on a Sunday night when I can't be bothered cooking and feel a little peckish - yep the ones you chuck in the oven and eat because you're far too lazy to make anything else. At coles I buy an entire pack for $3 - at this place I got an entire 10 or so of them for about $11.
Oh, and the salad was slimy and looked nothing like what you would pay for.

Ouch. I just hope no one else goes there to waste their money to eats at this place! (We paid $100 for 2!!!!)

On a side note, the waitress did try her best to please us - but she was a poor backpacker who was just trying to earn a quid whilst trying to learn english..... she gets an extra star for trying her best to please.

Approximate cost: $50

After shunning this place for a long while (I got jack of the really bad service and decided to start frequenting other places in the area) we decided to return to see what had changed.

I must say the owner must have sat up, paid attention and read these reveiws because there has been a turnaround. My last 3 visits have far outshone any other 'local' for breakky. The coffee service was still slow, but where was I rushing to on a Sunday morning? The staff smiled, had a chat and checked back to make sure everything was ok.

The food was great (fresh and well presented) and Fangos is now in the cheaper range of 'cafe dining options' out this way (meaning value for money gets 5 stars from me)

Great work by the owner for changing his attitude and the sour faces of his staff. (Too many small business owners don't listen to the public's feedback until it's way too late)

Now I just wish they'd extend their breakfast service to suit my sleep ins. :)

Approximate cost: $20

Being the ultimate dentist phobe, I found Dr Sternson on my private health care website and took a punt (with a deept breath and a cringe)

Needless to say, 6 years later and after many fillings, cleans and the like, I still go back to him. He takes a modern approach to dentistry by trying to save teeth instead of pulling them out like the old hack I used to visit and he makes you feel as comfortable as possible about whatever he plans to do while fossiking around in your mouth.

Even his reception staff are friendly!!

10 out of 10. (Yep, never thought I'd say that about a dentist!)

One word for this place - Wow.

It's a new favorite of mine. After being dissapointed with it's sister restaurant, I didn't set any expectations

but..........

The service and food here here were faultless. We ordered the second smallest banquet on the menu which included dips, mezze, seafood and meat and then coffee, fruit and desserts (just like Athens) and we rolled out of the place - doggy bags in hand. (Which, as a side note I need to say it was sooooo refreshing to see you could doggy bag goods instead of seeing good food go to waste straight into the bin)

We thought it was a little $$$ for Taverna food but once we stared eating, the value for money ended up being outstanding.

Approximate cost: $60

A nice sophisticated 'chillaxed' place to go for a night out for a cocktail and good chin wag with friends. You can dance to the various live bands they have in, or just lounge around on a comfy leather couch and watch the night go by.

Approximate cost: $40
