Great service and great food. The best we have had in Darwin! The food is of Melbourne and Sydney standard. Great service for Darwin too! the steak was cooked perfectly. A little on the pricey side, but really it is worth it, from a city with a lot of pricey options and not much quality. You end up paying extra for everything though- salad, sauce on your steak....

Approximate cost: $50

The food is good. I think it is a little bit sweet though. Very busy, and always necessary to book. The service is reasonable. I think the service could be better for the price.

Great value for money. The food is always good, and the atmosphere is amazing. People are always out and about at Monsoons. Various theme nights, and specials. Helpful, friendly staff.

This review is for Logans Beach Retreat and Day Spa, Warrnambool VIC

We visited the bath-house. I found this very over priced and disappointing.
The facilities are similar to something you would have in your own backyard. The swimming pool, sauna and spa seem to be for home use, not commercial use. You get the feeling you are in someone else's house.
At one time, they even walked a group of about 10, fully clothed people through to show them the property, while we were sitting in our swimsuits. I'm already feeling self-concious in a bikini thank you!
And we had to pay $40 each for a the experience! Which I think is totally overpriced.
Save your money and have a nice lunch somewhere!

This review is for Bisq, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 24 Oct 2010

Bisq is terrible. The BBQ meat is not all you can eat. It is all you can convince the dim witted waiter to bring you.
The buffet is full of cheap salad and pasta in a hope that you don't notice you're not eating any meat. The chairs are bolted to the floor, like they used to be in McDonald's in the eighties. The furniture and decor leaves a lot to be desired- chairs not comfortable, and you are sitting in rows with strangers like in an Officer's Mess in the Army.
There was live music. Which was nice I guess.

This review is for Banff, St Kilda VIC

I love the atmosphere here! It is so cozy and nice. The place is like you are in a log cabin in Canada. Oh and order the French toast, it is to die for. I didn't think to greatly off the pancakes though, the cream was a bit tart. Great coffee.

This review is for St Kilda Sushi & Noodle Bar, St Kilda VIC

They have just redecorated this sushi train, and while still very small it is pretty cool. The Sushi train is actually a small water canal with boats, where the sushi floats to you. I love a cool little gimmick like this, so the restaurant gets a thumbs up from me. The sushi is fresh and delicious with a wide variety to chose from.

This review is for Barcelona Tapas Restaurant & Bar, St Kilda VIC

verified email - 28 Sep 2010

They have great tapas here. You can sit out on the street and eat, and watch the world go by. Just opposite the Catani Gardens and beach as well! We had a banquet, so we didn't have to decide what to eat. But course, after course of yummy tapas came to our table. The Sangria is great too. I thought the value for money was excellent, and the food is quite low carbs, which is also great.

This review is for Aussie & French Bakehouse, St Kilda VIC

If you want something cheap and delicious to eat in St Kilda. You can't go past this bakery. The food is good, and cooked on the premises. Try the pies or the croissants. Everything is delicious. The hardest part is deciding what to eat.
