There are lots of things I like about this swimming lessons business...from the family run environment, that gets lost in the large chains, to the great teachers, with amazing patience and senses of humour, gentleness, and insight into teaching all the children. the salt water pool is a bonus too.

It is hard to find in the back of the Safeway carpark, but it is well worth the effort to look. A bit pricier than other chinese restaurants, but this place is one where we are happy to go with friends in the everning, it has nice atmosphere, the good old lazy susans, that make sharing meals with friends so easy, and the specials are always different and interesting.

you would think that take away chinese would be the same everywhere...not so! this place uses a great variety of vegetables in season right now, and so the meals are incredibly tasty, and different each time. Highly recommend this place, we never go anywhere else.

Why go all the way to Chinatown when you can get a great Yum Cha meal right here in Mentone! It's close, it's convenient, easy parking and great food and service...the kids loved it, and the set price was fantastic!

This place is full of fun and laughter. Pilots galore, as they all come here for an after work drink and meal on a Friday night. Watching the planes land and take off whilst having a drink or meal is such a delight!

We love pizza, and this place is the best around the Beaumaris and Mentone area. Great service, and best tasting and good variety of pizza toppings to choose from. I can highly recommend this place!

we like the fish and chips here, and the convenient location makes it an easy place to get dinner on the run. The service is friendly, the food good. What more can we ask for in a fish and chip shop?

We like the chicken here, but the stuffing is ever so peppery, we can't eat it! ANd I love stuffing! The service is lovely here, and the salads as expected, pretty good, but there are lots of other places to go for your chicken.

Super super super fast! Great toppings, and not stingy. We like the fact that the egg is cooked well on the Aussie...nothing worse than a slimy egg on the pizza!

This is the most delightful place you will ever go to for lunch, coffee, dinner. The theme changes, so you never know what type of food is on the menu. The fire is lovely on a wet / cold day. The food is extraordinarily lovely, price reasonable. I am almost too scared to tell anyone about it, I won't be able to get a table! Need to book here.
