We went for dinner with friends mid week. We were seated quickly, and orders were also taken quickly. All the staff were really helpful and friendly. They can eran 'well done' pins, and sometimes felt like they were over-doing it to earn their pin.
It is really loud here, was hard to hear each other over the music.
Our meals came and we were quite disappointed. I had the JD chicken, which was overcooked. The mash and vegies were both covered in pepper. I'm all for seasoning, but this was way too much. My partner had the JD pork, which was also over cooked. The special JD sauce was nice.
We also had a chocolate brownie/popcorn dessert to share. was quite good, we asked for cream on the side and was covered all over the top.
I think for what it is, its quite expensive. Most mains are between $30-$40. I can get much better quality meals elsewhere. We won't be in a hurry to go back there.

Approximate cost: $35

I went with a group of friends for an afternoon snack. Maybe we went on an off day.
The waiter was new, so we made allowances for that. He was very friendly which was nice.
We placed our order for drinks, then ten minutes later for food. Our bruschetta came before our drinks had even been delivered! we waited about 15 minutes for our drinks- including a glass of wine and some water. Not sure what took so long as they had several staff and only a couple of tables. Our coffees arrived well after the cakes, despite being ordered long before. The hot chocolates were not so hot, and the cakes were obviously not fresh. The bruschetta was actually pretty tasty.
I went to the counter to ask for the bill, and was told the waitress would bring it over, which she did after about ten minutes.
The rest of the menu looks nice, but I would be very hesitant in returning.

I bought a dress for my bridesmaid from Miss Bella. Gaye is so friendly and professional. They are up front about extra costs and delivery times.
We had the dress altered, it was too tight, so they offered to fix it that day as our wedding was only a week away. within the hour, it was fixed.
They don't have a huge range, but the dresses they do have are lovely.

My husband and I both ordered Ramen. We were the only customers dining in, although there were a few take away orders while we were eating. The girl who served us was so friendly. We didn't have to wait very long for our meals.
The broth was delicious, as were the noodles and fillings.
The restaurant is pretty simple, not really suited to romantic dinners, but perfect for a quick meal. Very healthy alternative to pizza or fish and chips.

Approximate cost: $10-15

I came here with my dad for lunch, we both had pumpkin risotto. YUM. it's table service, which was an unexpected bonus. drinks are available from the bar. The menu is pretty standard, but watching all the meals come out they looked great. And all plates went back to the kitchen empty. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

This review is for Shanghai Village Dumpling, Melbourne VIC

We come here time and time again when we come into the city.
The roast duck and fried dumplings are to die for!
Service is fast, and the food comes as it is ready, usually not all together. the dishes are all so cheap. under $10 for a plate of dumplings. fried rice is delicious too, and the crispy fried chicken is one of my favourites. Chinese tea and water are complimentary, and available for self-service. the restaurant is small and nothing flash but the food speaks for itself.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Wantirna Hill Club, Wantirna VIC

I come here at least once a month, usually for lunch. it's pretty quiet over lunch, so service is great and the food comes out quickly. It's self service, order at the counter and bar.
I've only had one bad meal here, and the manager replaced it quickly for me. the pastas are fantastic, as are the parmigianas- several types are available.
Atmosphere is what you'd expect from a pokies venue, but the restaurant is smallish so still is quite nice.

This review is for Captain America's Hamburger Heaven, Ferntree Gully VIC

We turned up without a booking, luckily a table had just left. Lesson learnt- always book to come.
I ordered a chicken burger, my husband had the aussie beef burger. friends ordered the ribs and we had onion rings to share.
all the meals were delicious, although they did take a while to come out. probably because the restaurant was full. the service was pretty good even though it was full, and the drinks were kept topped up by our friendly waitress.
Lots of american memorabilia and decorations to keep us amused. Family friendly, relaxed and easy going atmosphere.

Approximate cost: $13-$30

This review is for Zagame's, Boronia VIC

verified email - 23 May 2013

I've been here a few times. It's best for casual or quick meals. Pretty much what I expect from Zagames restaurants. The menu is varied, and reasonably priced. You have to order everything at the counter. The pizza and pasta I've found to be the best, some of the main meals can be disappointing. Service is non-existent, staff just bring out meals and clear plates. There is a large playground, which can get noisy with the amount of kids they cater for. Very family friendly restaurant.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Bubba Pizza, Pasta & More, Boronia VIC

We went here only because we had a sop-a-docket, but were pleasantly surprised. We had two pizzas- the meat deluxe and tandoori chicken. We ordered in the afternoon for a 6.30pm pick up, and our pizzas were ready right on time. The toppings were plentiful and in the right proportions. Not too greasy, the bases were just right.

Approximate cost: $15
