This place is pretty average. I went on a hot Sunday so it was very busy. There was actually too many people in there though.
I spent the afternoon squashed against my friends and people walking past knocking into me. On the plus we ordered chips and wedges and they were yum!

I really like the location and I have been on other nights when it doesn't attract a big crowd. Its a shame I have had this experience but unfortunately I wont be going back.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Royal Saxon, Richmond VIC

verified email - 03 Apr 2013

I really like the Royal Saxon. I was there last night - Tuesday. I thought it would be pretty quiet but it was pretty busy and a great atmosphere.

I like the way it is broken into bar and restaurant. It makes the formal eating area seem more private. You can also order foods in other parts of the bar too.

There is a great mix of upstairs, outside and downstairs.

The food is great - I love the pizzas.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Richmond Club Hotel, Richmond VIC

I love RCH! This is a top choice when I am organising a night out with friends. Its great on a Sunday for afternoon drinks, before the footy on a Friday or a big night dancing and few wines.

Everyone is really friendly and helpful. The food is great. I love the Parma! Who doesn't?
I would like a few more gluten free options on the menu though.

This review is for Vinny's Pizza, Kilsyth VIC

I love Vinnys Pizza! The taste so good and very reasonably priced. I like the bases they use. I have been going here for years. My best friend lives in Kilsyth and its a very handy location.
The people that work there are friendly and polite which makes it a good choice for me.

I went to this winery on Easter Sunday. We called to make a booking the day before but of course it was booked out. We were offered the option to come up an sit outside or try and luck and see if anyone had cancelled.
We arrived for late breakfast which was great as we were able to get a table. As soon as we stepped in we were greeted by a lovely gentleman who was able to show us to a table. The waitresses were lovely too.
We ordered a variety of tapas and they were yummy! Everyone who I was with loved them also.
We purchased some wines and did a few taste tests. Their winr is beautiful!
I am so glad I finally got to see this place as i'll definitely be back.

This review is for Terra Rossa, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 03 Apr 2013

I was wondering up Flinders Lane trying to find a place to eat for dinner. We ended up at Terra Rossa as it looked really inviting. It has a great ambience and the furniture/lighting is beautiful. We didn't have a booking but they found us a table on a bust Saturday night!
The food was really lovely. I had the chicken and it was really filling. We ordered some yummy cocktails as well. The staff were friendly.
They have areas for small and large groups. It would be excellent if they had a private dining room though for those special occasions!

This review is for Hairhouse Warehouse, Ringwood VIC

This Hairhouse Warehosue is great! The staff are always helpful and know their stuff! I purchased some new shampoo recently and the staff I spoke to was really helpful and pointed me in the right direction. The prices are average. You could probably purchase items cheaper elsewhere but the convenience of the location is a plus.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Balsamic, Ringwood VIC

verified email - 07 Nov 2012

I like Balsamic. It has good lighting and indoor/outdoor areas. The bar section is the best and its funky for the suburbs! The meals are ok. Great size but a little pricey for simple foods $27.50 for a chicken parma is a bit expensive! I like the variety of choices and the staff have always been prompt and friendly.

Pretty good little cafe. Lots of variety and healthy choices that are yummy! I enjoyed the salmon cakes and salad. Lots of flavor and reasonably priced. Downstairs at Eastland and it isn't too noisy which is great. Staff are always friendly and meals are quick.
