Tsindos-The Greeks Restaurant, Melbourne, VIC    Add to list
Greek Restaurant

 

 

Overall             Recommended
Food 8 Ambience 7 Service 7 Value 7

 

I've been here twice and on both occasions, I've ordered the mousaka. It's tasty and very filling. Everyone else in the table loved their food. Would be going back there again. It's value for money, the other Greek restaurants seem to charge exorbitant prices.

They have an excellent bento deal between 3-5, too bad it's around the time when no one eats. Food here's good, I always come here for their bentos. Don't get their teppanyaki, it's not worth it. The amount you've paid and the servings you get will leave you disappointed. Food's good though. It's a toss up between Kaneda and Kimurakan.

If you like fried japanese food, the Kimurakan Bento is the one to order. It has everything! Oysters, prawns, pippies, fried tofu (yum), salad, gyoza, spring roll, potato cake, katsu pork, tatsuta chicken, crab claw, takoyaki. *drools* It comes with miso soup or soft drink or tea (ice/hot).

Pretty good value for money. I've taken a few people there now and only I didn't seem to like it, everyone else did. It's a toss up between Kaneda for sure!

I went here when they first opened. Food was good, even came with a few friends but suddenly in 2007, they changed the menu, increased the prices, removed the favorites and the quality has gone down. It was disgusting. Haven't been back since.

I miss this place, I used to go there every Friday with my boyfriend but now that he works in the CBD, we rarely go. My absolute fave is the Pop Chicken! The taste is just good! The seafood entree plate is nice too. I've brought a few friends here and they all enjoyed it.

The ambience was actually good but for someone who wears glasses, it seemed pretty dark so ambience is a 5 for me. Service was good, very knowledgeable waitress but I'm not sure about the value. The food is good but sounds weird at the same time, caramel that's salted?! I had a special and it was salmon, it was nice. Yum yum.

If this is the Railway Club then what I have to write will apply to this place. Love their steaks! I think it's more worth it. The service is a bit slow but who cares, because the food is awesome!!! LOVE IT! My boyfriend and I go there once a fortnight/month after work. (We live far from it.) I highly recommend it.

Went last night since it's Grazing Mondays. Their Grazing menu changes every month (I think?). I think it has the same concept as a degustation menu.

Four people out of the five that went, ordered every single dish that came out. Mind you, it was a total of $37 for 9. We ordered two serves of their dessert platter, $17 each! Quite small but managed to share between 5 people. I ordered a glass of Rosé, the Dominio Espinal Rosado Monastrell 2005 from Yecla, Spain. I forgot what the others ordered.

Most of the tapas tasted good, it was definitely a different way of dining and it was nice on the taste buds but the price is a different story.

Vialetto Ristorante, Melbourne, VIC    Add to list
Italian Restaurant

 

 

Overall             Recommended
Food 7 Ambience 8 Service 7 Value 8

 

My boyfriend first took me here, we had the beef carpaccio as entree, veal scaloppine & stuffed calamari tubes for mains and tiramisu for desserts. Our service was quite good, considering it was a Friday night and they were pretty busy.

The 2nd time I went there was last Thursday for my mother's birthday. The stuffed chicken was a bit dry but according to everyone else, the food was good. I've ordered the veal again, I liked it the first time I had it. It actually came out cold ... or it could just be the weather since we were sitting outside.

I recommend this place, the vibe at Hardware Lane is quite good. Jazz music plays every night from 7pm. The only problem I have about this entire area (Hardware Lane) is the lack of room to move other than that, it's quite good.

Feddish, Melbourne, VIC    Add to list
Vegetarian Friendly, Modern Australian Restaurant

 

 

Overall             Not Recommended
Food 1 Ambience 2 Service 3 Value 1

 

I went to Feddish last Saturday for a birthday dinner, a group of 10. We waited 45 minutes for our food to arrive. The servings were small, I've ordered medium rare and arrived well done. Portions are so small, it's not worth the money. The food tasted bland too, mashed potates were just diced potatoes crushed with a fork, balsamic glaze for my steak? Nothing special about that!

The waiter took my friend's plate when there was still food on it. No dessert menu was offered. To cap things off, the waitress brought out the birthday cake too early while the birthday celebrant was at the toilet. We requested that she brings it back inside but the waitress argued with us instead and insisted in lighting the candle now. To quote her, "The cake will still be there when she gets back anyway so it's still a surprise". We took our complaint to the manager but instead of apologizing for the rudeness of his staff, he made an excuse about how busy it was and that the staff member was sick. The location might be good for this place but there's no way it's worth the hype that comes along with it.
