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

verified email - 09 Oct 2013

Great place to get an American Diner experience. The set up is just like what you would expect from a 50's diner. Similar to the places on the movie Grease.
The food is very heavy and fattening, so don't expect to order a Salad.
You cannot make bookings at the Reservoir restaurant so the wait and be long. Once you arrive you put your name down for a table, once a table is free you sit and then line up to order at the counter, then you wait for your food. The three places to wait means it can take a long time i get your food, the first time total wait would have been about an hour. The second time our food took a bit longer and my meal was already cold.
I would suggest the waffle fries, they are great.
The staff are very friendly and when Misty is working she makes the place very lively.
With such a unique dining experience a longer wait is expected than going to a Italian restaurant and the wait is well worth it.
You can also call to pick up take away if you do not want to wait.

Approximate cost: $20

Go here for all my beauty needs as it is convenient for where I work. The staff are very friendly, salon has a great atmosphere. Treatment rooms are clean and relaxing.
Bookings can be made on-line which is very convenient.
Had an express facial which fit perfectly into my lunch break, designed for office workers.
They have a wide range of treatments including nails, waxing, massage, Eyelash extensions and also different body treatments, not too sure what all the gadgets are used for.
Prices are competitive for the city.
Open till later in the evening on most nights of the week.

The dumplings here are amazing. Menu has a wide range of meals, it is about 10 pages long.
The speed or the service is not great, but staff are friendly. Often waiting 30 minutes for take away for 1 meal, even after being told it would only take 15 minutes. Hard to get anyone to help you when waiting but the meal is well worth the wait.
Vegetarian Dumplings are my favourite. Come in servings of 15 and are only $9.

Approximate cost: $10

Went for dinner mid week. The food was fantastic.
Menu does not offer much variety but they do have a meal for most meats and different weekly specials. I would rate this place fine dining but at a intermediate price.
The Eggplant chips are amazing, even if you do not like eggplant.
Service was fantastic, very attentive.

This review is for Farm Vigano, South Morang VIC

The restaurant is located on an amazing property. Perfect for a summer wedding.
The food is very fresh and even the pizza's feel light. (not greasy and heavy like others) I would recommend the ancient grain salad, its the best!!
Deserts are also great, worth keeping space for.

Staff are really friendly and tables on the restaurant are well spaced so even if busy you are still not close to other diners. Not open every night in the winter for dinner. Have been here a couple of times and would recommend it.
It is in the middle of no-where but there is an ATM on site.

This review is for Kri Kri Greek Restaurant, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 09 Oct 2013

Had dinner mid week at Kri Kri.

The food was good, a lot of flavour. It was a bit more expensive than other places, none of the mains included sides so if you wished to get salad or Potatoes they were extra. The meals would be big enough for one person. If entrées where ordered people could share but depends on how much each per eats.
The Staff were very friendly and restaurant is lovely inside.

This review is for Toodouri Sojibang, Melbourne VIC

I Love going to Korean BBQ, the way you cook your own meat makes the feel of it really social.
Toodouri is surrounded by business of the same cuisine but I find it my favourite to go to. The prices are a little expensive for what you are paying for (uncooked meat) but it is standard for the cuisine. The place is very nice, small but has a good feel. Staff are amazing. Very polite and on the ball with hot plates and orders.
It can get a bit smokey in there and you can leave smelling like a BBQ so make sure you ask for the fans to be turned on if needed.

I would recommend to any one who enjoys going to Teppanyaki but wants to try something different and not as expensive.

This review is for Bridges Restaurant, Hurstbridge VIC

Attended a 21st birthday here on a Saturday night.
One end of the building was blocked off from the other end. Food was really good, every plate that was taken to guests was something different and had a large variety of options. Cost per head was $18.50 for the food. the facilities were good for the party, they were able to use another side room to set up a photo booth and Bridges allowed them to set up a "candy bar". the only thing that was bad would have been for the people dining as the music was loud and barriers to separate the rooms where only just small partitions. Also the food stopped when the kitchen closed so was no food after about 9.30.

Approximate cost: $18.50

This review is for Lentil as Anything, Abbotsford VIC

Place is a great concept. Buffet style meals, self serve vegetarian food. The best part is the meals are all pay what you want to. If you short on cash this is a great option.
Most staff are volunteers. Meals are pretty basic chick pea, potatoes, Moroccan style food.
Great option for lunch, customers can each as much food as they like. While the food is pretty standard they also have a barista who makes great coffee's.
While the food is not amazing 5 star quality, for what you are getting it is great value.

Approximate cost: $as much as you like.

This review is for Morrocan Soup Bar, Fitzroy North VIC

Went and had dinner here last night. The place is only small and they only do bookings for groups. We got there are 6.15 and could only get a booking for 7.30 (wednesday night). There is a bar next door which is convenient for having to wait.

The menu is all spoken and you can purchase a main for $13 but the best option is the banquet- $20 or $25 per person. The $25 option includes more side dishes.
Entres is flat bread and variety of dips, cheese and grilled vegetables and peppermint tea.
Main meals are all vegetarian and are a combination of vegetables, cous cous, chick pea and rice dishes. dont know a lot about moroccan food but all delicious and for any type of eater.
The banquet also includes deserts and coffee.

Well worth the money, they also do taike away but you have to bring your own containers.

Approximate cost: $20
