This review is for Darrens Flowers, Bayswater VIC

Jenny did my wedding flowers in March 2011 and they were very fresh and looked exactly, if not better than the magazine pic I specified.
Jenny also ordered sample flowers prior to the wedding for me to see to ensure the colour scheme matched.
The one thing that didn't work out swell were the button holes and corsages, they didn't seem to be supported well enough by the tapes and or pins, and many of the flower buds broke off after a while.
But overall, the bouquets were fresh and beautifully arranged.

Approximate cost: $350

This review is for Lyrebird Falls, Kallista VIC

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Lyrebird falls in March 2011 and what a Wonderful day! it was. The service was faultless, both leading up to the wedding and during the day. Communication with the venue was easy, and they were very accommodating of our needs.
All our guests told us afterwards that they had a great time, and they were most impressed with the quality of food served. What a party, it was a Sensational wedding!

Approximate cost: $10k

This is the second year we've celebrated Father's day here with our family, and again it was jam packed with people. The pies are delicious. I had a Thai chicken curry and the flavour was great! The pie floater is also very popular. We'll definitely come back again and bring our friends to visit the cozy shops in the area.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Taos Restaurant, Bulleen VIC

I have been to Taos twice now. The first time our family friend who knew the owner took us there and the experience was outstanding. Where can you get a 5 course meal for $48??!!!?!? This is like a degustation menu, where the food is beautifully presented and the taste was great.

The dishes come in unique serving ware and the table service was impeccable. Plus this is a BYO restaurant and you don't have to pay ridiculous maked up prices for alcohol.

Highly recommended for you to try out if you like a bit of Japanese, Chinese and western fusion food.

This review is for Sails on the Bay Cafe & Restaurant, Elwood VIC

I had my birthday dinner at Sails with my family in Jan 2010. The atmosphere was great and the service top noch. Indeed the room was very glary and hot being 38 deg outside, but the restaurant was very good to make it more comfortable for us. The food was delicious - fine qulity oysters, and the entree was delicious. My Miso risotto was a bit too salty!! The serving is small, but that's what you get for fine dining. I ordered a $70 cake for 7, it was expensive, but we had the cake instead of dessert. Everyone loved the Raspberry/chocolate cake, and complimented the freshness of the cake. They make the cake onsite.
Had a great time overall.
