I've been here twice and really like this place!

Food-wise... yummy yummy! I had a steak as well as garlic mushrooms as an entree (it was delish!)and the rocket and olive salad as a side. So, in terms of the food, I really rate this place.

In terms of the ambience, it is a noisy lively restaurant so it is best suited to outtings with groups of friends/family.

In terms of price, I felt the prices were a bit steep. The food was tasty, but for a steakhouse which does not seem to target the more higher end, I felt the prices were expensive.

In terms of service, I've had great service (from the same waitor both times).

I had brunch at Bills last week. I came on a weekday so was seated immediately which was good. I liked the decor and feel of the cafe- quite simple and relaxed and fresh. I ordered the ricotta banana hotcakes which I found quite delicious at first, however I only finished half of it as it was a bit too heavy or filling for me. My sister had the full aussie brekkie which looked great and I tried the scrambled eggs which were lovely and fluffy. Overall, I had a good experience however I did feel the prices were hefty for just a brekkie meal, however I don't mind coming back in future.

Came here with a group of friends a few months ago. We had a voucher which included a buffet meal and salsa class. I found the food surprisingly ok. I wasn't expecting much from this place so maybe that's why. Overall, nothing great but nothing too bad. I'm glad I came here with a voucher as I wouldn't want to pay full price for what I ate as I don't think it would be worth it.

I love their #1 special and volcano rolls! Just yummy! I haven't been for over a year ago, so not sure if they are still as good as what I tasted before? I like the decor of the place though- it's quite modern and there is a nice buzz going on inside the restaurant, without being too noisy.

I came here a few months ago and enjoyed the meats and desserts on offer. The place is quite modern and open, which I like. The only issue I had was that the tables were so tiny so it was pretty squashy, especially since it was a buffet and thus plates were spread out all over the table.

A regular hangout of mine. Their ramen is usually quite nice and tasty (I usually get their ramen sets which come with a bowl of ramen, salad and a choice of either 3x gyoza or 3x takoyaki balls) and their dish with sashimi salmon and rice (forgot what it is called now)is also very yummy. This place is usually packed on weekends so prepare to wait a little before getting a table.

I found Sapore quite a decent place to have a meal at. The atmosphere is always alive and buzzing every time I come here, however, not over the top, which is good. The food is quite nice and I have no complaints in that regard. Service is sometimes slow, however, they are very busy so it is understandable.

I came here around 1 year ago with a small group of friends (sorry this review is 1 year late haha). I found the atmosphere quite relaxing and laid-back. I believe I had the 7-course degustation menu or something like that. The dishes were nicely presented, however, not very memorable as I can't remember what I ate at this point. However, in terms of value, I'd say it was quite worth it.

This is a great place to go with friends as with each table, you get your own private booth with a touch screen to order from (which I love!). The food is quite good, nothing mind-blowing but quite good and tasty. I tried their crocodile nuggets (I'm not sure of the exact name) which were interesting, taste like chicken? Also, their sashimi and sushi dishes were quite tasty. I would go here again as it has the right atmosphere for a gathering with a bunch of friends. The only downside is the long wait that usually preceeds.

This place always looks busy so I thought I'd try it out one weekend, but was very disappointed. While the decor and service of the place is quite good, the food we ordered was quite terrible (and I am a lover of pasta and pizza in general). The pastas had no flavour or seasoning at all (we had to add copious amount of salt and pepper to our dishes ourselves) while the pizza we ordered as just too salty and did not taste good. If this place just focused more on the actual food being served, I'm sure they would go far as the decor and location is pretty good.
