This review is for Organic Angels, Box Hill VIC

verified email - 27 Dec 2015

I Have ordered from Organic Angels quite a few times now. I usually order the small vegetable or small mixed box. I have always been happy with the quality and mix of items included in the delivery. The only reason I don't sign up for a regular weekly delivery is the delivery charge. Because they class Geelong as a country area my delivery costs $14.95, taking the price of my small box from $45.50 to $60.45. If I placed a larger order I could justify it, but on my little order means about 25% of my charge is delivery costs. I try and buy organic locally, but highly recommend Organic Angels if you are in their delivery zones or want to place a bigger order to get better value from it.

Dr Chris Hair is a Gastroenterologist who has rooms at Geelong Gastroenterology. I was referred to see Dr Hair by my GP, and was so happy with how at ease he made me feel. My first session was very informative and a positive experience. I would highly recommend Dr Hair.

This review is for A Rani Thai, Geelong VIC

verified email - 27 Dec 2015

I think this is the best Thai food I have had! I dropped in after work on the weekend and was just in time to order from the lunch specials. I ordered red chicken curry and special fried rice. I got given green chicken curry, but I like it too, so I really didn't care. I was expecting smaller meals being a lunch special, but I had enough food for dinner and lunch the following day. Service is quick and friendly, and the food is amazing!

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Customs House, Geelong VIC

verified email - 27 Dec 2015

We decided to have a change from Christmas lunch at home and booked at Customs House. The food was all presented on share plates, which is something I did not like. The first two courses were slow coming out, and were so small that they looked like they were meant for one person, not four. There was also an issue with there not being enough of everything on the plate for each person to have, such as two oysters to share between four people. The main course was a lot better, with three different meats, but light on for vegetables. The dessert and cheese courses were very good though. The waitress was lovely, but there were clearly some issues with staff not being on top of things like drinks and cutlery. Overall it was a nice experience, but I think for the price charged per head there needs to be some improvements made.

Approximate cost: $125

This review is for waterfront kitchen, Geelong VIC

Waterfront Kitchen is a large café located at Deakin Waterfront, and is open to the public. They offer very friendly table service, and have lots of options on the menu. There are vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten free and dairy free options. My waitress was happy to discuss my dietary requirements and helped me make a choice. I chose from the small menu list, the grilled octopus and chorizo, confit garlic and romesco sauce, which was amazing! These small menu items are VERY small, so if you want a bigger serve they will let you double the portion, or you can pick from the large meal list. My friends loved their meals too.

This review is for Commun Na Feine Hotel, Geelong VIC

I picked the Commo for a work dinner because there is a big variety of cuisines on the menu, and price choices to suit everyone's budget. Main meals started at $14. Everyone was happy with their meals. Service is not the best in town, and the room got very loud, but the atmosphere is warm and the food is great value.

This review is for Warren & Hutch Provedores, Geelong West VIC

I had heard that Warren and Hutch were great for grass fed and free range meats, but I was very excited to find they stocked some really cool fermented vegetables and other paleo items. I'll be back again for sure!

This review is for Brewster's Cafe, Waurn Ponds VIC

A friend and I decided to have a break while shopping, so we went to Brewsters Café for coffee and cake. The drinks took a while to come out, and we were halfway through drinking them when my friend went in to ask where our cakes were. They had been forgotten, and by the time we got them we had finished our coffees, and were a bit annoyed that we couldn't have them together. The food and drinks were nice though.

This review is for Tony Leo's Pizzeria, Belmont VIC

I ordered two pizzas to be delivered for dinner. The delivery was way faster than I was expecting, and the pizzas were steaming hot. The bases are very thin, the way I like them, and the toppings are piled on all the way to the crust. They put cheese on top, so the pizzas go golden brown. The only thing I didn't like was the ham they used. It seemed a little cheap in quality. Otherwise awesome!

This review is for Beechworth Bakery, Healesville VIC

Stopped into the bakery for brunch on our way through and there were so many things I wanted to try! I ended up having the Ned Kelly pie, which has egg, bacon and cheese on top. It was awesome, and very reasonable at $4.90.
