Been coming here for years, mostly for the chai. It&#39;s just the right strength, not too sweet, and always consistent. That big shared table is my usual spot to get some work done. Prices have crept up a bit, but it&#39;s still my go-to.

The hot chocolate is so good here! Not too sweet, and always served warm, not scalding. Perfect for catching up with a friend. The staff are quick too, so you don&#39;t have to wait long to get your chat started.

Had lunch here. The fish was decent, nicely cooked and juicy. The vegetable salad that came with it was a thoughtful touch. A pretty good spot for a casual meal.

We lunch quite frequently at the uniquely- decorated museum-tinted Natural History restaurant. The food is uniformly good - I particularly like the cauliflower steak - and reasonably priced. Service is friendly and efficient. Ask for the booth down the back for extra privacy

We should have booked a slightly earlier time in order to have better seating. The restaurant was busy, we ended up being seated too close to the air conditioner for comfort.

Been coming here for years. The back area for dogs is a nice touch, makes for a chill coffee break.

The cashew nut dish was the highlight for me. The cashews were so fresh and crunchy, and the vegetables still had a nice bite to them. Really appreciated the generous portion size for the price. A solid, healthy option.

The margarita was spot on. You can tell the bartenders know their stuff just by watching them move. The whole vibe in here is really chill, with those low lights and the big windows.

A real old-school Italian spot, just a short walk from the beach. Perfect for a casual bite after a swim. The service was friendly and the vibe was cozy.

Service was spot on. Friendly, efficient, and they knew exactly when to check in and when to leave us be. That&#39;s a rare find these days. Made the whole dinner feel relaxed and unhurried.

Been coming here for years, and that tandoori platter is the reason. The Burra Kebab and chicken just taste right every single time. It&#39;s my go-to order, never disappoints.

Stumbled upon this place on Little Collins. The bento was generous, and their sake selection paired nicely with the grilled fish. Solid lunch spot.

Great spot for a coffee in the sun. The wine list is decent, but the view of Albert Park is the real star here.

The private room upstairs was perfect for my birthday brunch with friends. The team handled everything so well, we could just relax and enjoy the sunset on the balcony!

We visited this restaurant as a family with Gluten intolerances and enjoyed the food thoroughly. My favourite was the arancini balls on mushroom pate and the almond cake although everything was delicious. The family were also delightful and came over to the table a couple of times for a lovely chat and last but not least our waitress was efficient and on the ball with our nut allergies. We will definitely be back.

The chicken parma at happy hour was a solid deal. It&#39;s exactly what you want from a pub. The place gets absolutely packed though &ndash; definitely book ahead to avoid the wait.

The staff were flat out but still friendly. Got us seated quickly even though it was packed. They kept smiling through the rush, which was nice.

Nice and warm staff always accommodating. We love the wood fire pizza. The service is fast. We always book here when we have events as we know they won&#39;t disappoint.

Birthday cocktail was a nice touch. The toasted marshmallow on the espresso martini was different, in a good way.

Great spot for a quick bite in Thornbury. Binu at the bar was super friendly, made me feel welcome right away. Grabbed a cheap beer and the food came out fast. Perfect for a lunch break.

Peking duck set was solid. Crispy skin, tender meat, pancakes were a good size. The set includes a stir-fry and soup, makes for a complete meal. Good value for the portion. Service was efficient.

Enjoyed the venue, the food was great, however we ordered an entree to share and two mains, with rice - they all arrived at the same time, which made the mains cold by the time we got to eat them.  Otherwise it was good. Just next time space out delivery of entree and mains please.

Always enjoy coming here, especially on a sunny Sunday afternoon where the alfresco area is buzzing with lots of customers and Greek music! As usual, the kalamaki chicken was cooked to perfection! 👌 Very tender and delicious flavours!!Using the 50% off offer with The Fork is a bonus!We&#39;re always returning customers and highly recommend!

We were very surprised at the quality of the food and the price. We would definately come back again. Thank you for the great service and good food.

Service was good, but not the food. I was hoping someone to ask about how was food, no one did and i felt little uncomfortable talking without being asked by someone.

The staff were helpful and friendly. The food was great ad my porterhouse steak was cooked to perfection, medium just as I like it.

Been coming here for years. That French toast with berries is my go-to. It&#39;s like dessert for breakfast, but I&#39;m not complaining. Always get a window seat on sunny mornings, just hits the spot.

Found this local spot in the suburbs. The pumpkin masala was served inside a real pumpkin, which was a fun touch. It tasted really good, a nice surprise for a weeknight dinner.

We had a wonderful lunch in this beautiful setting Servuce was very friendly food excellent especially the chocolate egg for dessert complimented by great wines.  We will be back!! ????
