Terrible! I attended last week with a large group of people for my end of year work function. There were approx 40 people and we had a banquet that was $47.50 a head. The food incorporated in this was minimal and is was very basic and average. Nachos, quesdillas and 2 fajitas. I am Gluten free and there was not enough gluten free options in the dessert section. The staff needed to be approached numerous times when requests were made.
The upstairs area was a substantial area though for a private function.

Approximate cost: $47.50

This is one cool pub/bar. It has a great set up. Big bar inside and big outdoor area around the back. Heaters are set up for the colder nights and it is great in summer with lots of seating.
Perfect place for a sunday afternoon drink.
I haven't actually had a meal here but the drinks are reasonably priced and the staff are friendly and always seems to be a lot of staff on which means less lining up time.

Wow! Love this place!
I'd had a stressful time in my life to I went to Torquay for a few days. I thought i would treat myself to a facial or something so went to endota.
I was greeted by a lovely, bubbly receptionist who made great suggestions and because there was a special deal on I was able to get a facial, massage and body scrub all for $250!
The treatments were amazing. 3 hours of bliss. The lady who did the treatments and I felt she really loved her job. I purchased lots of products - also during a sale time! My skin has been amazing ever since. Even though I will have to go to a new location next time as i love in Melbourne I am definitely an endota regular now.

Approximate cost: $150

I really like this bar. Its has an open space feel and the layout is good. You can book the back section out if you are having a private function which is good. I like that its not too dark and has that pub feel with TV's but it is classy at the same time.
The staff seem cool and the nibbles are yum too.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for The LuWOW, Fitzroy VIC

This is a very cool bar. An alternative option but its what to expect in Fitzroy. I went there for a girls night and we booked a booth and started with a few cocktails. They are amazing! and they put little umbrellas in them which is really cute.
The atmosphere makes you feel like you are in hawaii or a tropical island. The staff look great in their matching hawaiin style dresses.
The waitress we had was great but she couldn't add up the bill correct and as a result over charged is $50 (we did get it back eventually)
The rest of the night was spend in the band area. Original band - slow music so didn't really suit the night we were after but will be back!

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Traditionally Yours, Heathmont VIC

I had some curtain installed by Janette from Trad Yours recently. She was amazing!
I was unsure what I was after and she visited my house and brought lots of fabrics to choose from. She has a real 'eye' for what would suit rooms. Three weeks later and my curtains are up and they look fabulous. I am so pleased and the prices are very reasonable.
The actually shop is great too. Beautiful cushions, frames and furniture. Highly recommend.

This review is for Barclays Cafe, Heathmont VIC

What a busy busy place! The day I dined here it was a Friday and school holidays and the place was packed! myself and 2 others squeezed on an outside table. The staff were flustered and they forgot to get water for us or take our orders. When we asked for glasses they told us to wait, not because they were rude but because they were so stressed and busy.
I ordered the salmon and potato/hashbrown style meal and it was very tasty so well done to the chef. Considering the business the meals didn't take too long - 30 mins. You wouldn't want to pop in on your lunch break!

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Fonda Mexican, Richmond VIC

I am obsessed with this place! It is sooooo yummy! The pork taco is scrumptious and dont even get me started on the lychee cocktails. The prices are amazing, the food is so quick from ordering to your table.
The staff are fabulous and very friendly.
The only thing I would say is waiting for a table can be a pain.

This review is for Miss Polly, Mitcham VIC

verified email - 24 Nov 2013

I love Miss Polly but the last few visits I haven't enjoyed it as much. I like the decor and the fact they have indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoy having breaky there occasionally. The Chai latte isn't the nicest and using leaves it can taste watery. I ordered a gluten free toasted sandwich and it wasn't good unfortunately. three pieces of bread with one in the middle with ham and cheese. The middle piece was gross and soggy.

Approximate cost: $15
