Havent had the chance to eat here for lunch or dinner but we did go down for breakfast on the weekend. Breakky menu was really good with quality produce and good variety. Staff were very bubbly for a sunday which i suppose is both good and bad but we did get comments from the staff about what a big night they had the night before (harmless). Well definnately head in for lunch/dinner after the quality of breakfast that we recieved.

Food was excellent! My group and i had a banquet style setup. Cant fault the food and the amount because if you run out at the table and you and your party are still hungry, they will refill the banquet no charge. Staff were friendly but really hard to get a hold of. We would have drank a lot more if we didn't have to struggle to flag a waiter down on a night where only 30% of the tables were taken.

went for a drive up the hills and decided we would have a bite somewhere. We usually trek a little further to Ripe in Sassafras but decided to try something different. Expectations were high when we walked in as there werent any spare tables. So we took a seat at the bar and waited to be Sat. We had a chance to look at the menu and were sat in about 10mins. Great! Ordered the MEZZE PLATER, CHEESE PLATTER and SOUP or the Day. 5 mins goes by and the Waitress come back and says there aren't any cheese platter... to which i reply "No Worries, we'll just stick with the meze and soup". Our Mezze arrives in good time but no soup. I manage a restraunt and know that things can be forgotten so i decided to let it slide. We finished our bread for the mezze and asked for another serve of bread. 15 mins goes by and no bread. Ask a seperate Waiter to which he replied its on the way. another 15mins and no bread. So we got up and went to pay the bill and go and the bill noted that we owed for the Bread we didnt get. We explained our situation and recieved a discounted which was good. Dissapointed but we definately head back as i hear the breakfast is awesome. 2stars for the day though. Staff need some training.

I've been here more than a couple of times with my horse crazy girl friend and sometime on my own to do xmas shopping etc. Staff are always helpful and the range is acceptable. Its no Saddle up but i find that the staff are much more pleasant at horseland. Sometimes that is more important.

Been to Flow a couple of times now and the menu is very gourmet.. Almost everything on the menu is homemade and you can definately taste the love that is put into the food. You can even take your pooch down to sit outside with you while you enjoy your breakfast in their courtyard with the complete morning sun pouring down on you. Hada chance to chat with the chef/owner last time i was there and he is a lovely bloke. 10 out of 10 from this happy punter!

As you will see below.... Sundays at the Bung is a good day out. Reasonably priced drinks, good outdoor area although a little small and a very good looking crowd. Band is great and atmosphere is second to none on a sunday. Do yourself a solid and get to the Bung on Sundays

I found that the female management that we dealt with would be better served as a speed bump. We had to return a faulty phone a number of times and seemed to get different answers every time. In the 1st 3 months of the new contract we had the phone in our posession for 16 days because i was constantly out for repair. When a new phone was finally offered after sending it away 4 times, the replacement phone was a clear step down. Will never return here and am even thinking about just paying the contract out so we never have to deal with these imbessiles again. Steer Clear!!

Decor was lovely and fresh, however some of the money should have been spent on more staff training. Dont get me wrong they arent about to forget your requests of dump food in your lap but some staff lacked people skills. Would definately give them another try.

This review is for Stamford Plaza Melbourne, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 26 Jul 2010

Stamford is pretty glamorous to look at from the front and even inside the foyer but dissapointment strikes once inside the rooms. ideal for business stays but i would steer clear if you're thinking for a special occasion. Room service and Harry's restaraunt are great and food qualty is very good. If you were to spend money on 1 of the pent houses you would not be dissapointed but who has the money to do that?? There are much more affordable stays in melbourne for the same service in my oppinion.

This review is for Sampe's Pizza, Mooroolbark VIC

Sometimes you find yourself thinking about what else is out there... then you stray from what you know is good. I strayed from Sampes once or twice and have been severely dissapointed and crawl back to Sampes, mouth watering! Although you may be tempted with cheaper prices displayed by the likes of Terrarossa and Mooroolbark Pizza, you will seldome regret paying that little extra for a clear leap in quality. Owner Ren and the team down there are always friendly. Sampes are continually trying to better themselves, whether it be adding new pizzas to the menu or giving the shop a full referb. You usually gauge how good a business is but the volume of customers and whenever i go into Sampes the seats are always taken up and they were even nice enough to put in a flat screen to watch while we wait. Now thats service. Well done Sampes and you will continue to have my business as long as you keep making good pizzas.

Approximate cost: $9.90
