The redbull gelati is a real winner here. they make an amazing gelati scoop "cake" too. great ice cream all round however, its over priced here and the bar prices are pretty high too.

Approximate cost: $7.50

Love this burger cafe, great seating and you can watch them make the burgers :) The chicken burger with brie is the best on the menu, followed closely by the aloha burger :) the chips are a must have with aoli sauce! :D

Approximate cost: $14.50

Staff are great here, always willing to help you look for things.
Poor selection of DVDs which are really over priced and almost NO cds in-store is very disappointing.
They do stock a great selection of cleaning equipment for cds and dvds. Also band shirts are normally in-store here which is a nice alternative to buying online.

Approximate cost: $39.99

Love this place! As a former Yank i crave this food and no one does it better than TGIF!
The wait was kind of long, the bar staff are VERY over worked and the waiter messed a few things up. But over all its worth the wait for everything and Some of the meals can be complicated with the sauces and side orders. :) Ill be back again again and again!

Only thoughts is that the Doncaster store has more character and better service :)

Approximate cost: $20

This place is great, the staff are trendy and listen to what you want. Genrally you get what youve asked for however your going to have to wait a really long time to get it. Im no longer using this salon because waiting for 30mins at the sinkchair while my hairdresser has lunch really irritated me. Its a shame because they are fantastic otherwise! Get your bums into gear guys, work to a schedual!!!

Approximate cost: $70.00

This review is for Bridie O'Reilly's, Brunswick VIC

Cheap drinks and nice outdoor seating. Always alot of drunks and bouncers tend to pick fights. Great for pre drinks but i wouldn't plan my night around this place. Very cheap shots and wide variety too. Get in early for a place on the dance floor, it can get very crowded. Mainly over 30s inside, women are severely outnumbered.

This place is great, sunday mornings i stroll down and enjoy reading my paper in their wonderful cafe. Staff are friendly, service is fast and the chai latte is unbeatable! Its a little cosy in there, but overall im a happy camper week in,week out!

This review is for Gowanbrae Fish & Chips, Gowanbrae VIC

Im not quite sure what it is but this place has the best chips i have ever tasted!
Every week they serve up perfect potato cakes,souvlaki and fresh fish which always beats my expectations! They must use a certain type of oil, there's no oily left overs on your hands and you never get that sickly feeling after over indulging. The only low point here is their burgers are a bit bland.

Approximate cost: $17

This review is for Krabi Thai, Essendon VIC

I couldn't live without Krabi Thai! Upon finding this little gem my heart went racing. The decor is Horrible, but in a kitsch kind of way that really only improves your meal (a real conversation topic!) the service is fantastic although the broken English can be frustrating. Drinks are served in their cans, rather than a glass which is also a bit dodgy. They have the most amazing Satay I have ever tasted, and i Highly recommend the Rotti bread and chicken rice! In fact, their mixed entrees are a must! ( a great way to sample their finest). Prices are low and the cosy atmosphere is complimented well with the way the staff are dressed. The food is what most Aussies would term "Clean Thai" everything seems home-cooked...Like the recipes have been handed down generation to generation. Much better than sitting on the couch however take out is available and delivery is quick :)

Approximate cost: $23
