Vivace

Welcome to Vivace. Our Suburban Italian restaurant (established in 2004) has a very classy and warm atmosphere, with soft and intimate lighting. Professional staff members are knowledgeable about the menu and wine list, and offer a non-intrusive level of service at all times. The tantalising menu ranges from fresh seafood to quality meat, with specials that change daily to keep regular diners happy.

Lobster Cave

Reviewed By Ken D - Melbourne, Australia

Entree. Chilli squid - Charcoal prawns. Both excellent.
Mains. Lobster mornay excellent. - Surf and turf. All excellent except steak. A nice piece of steak served almost raw. Menu says "medium" still blue in the middle. Rare at the most.
Desert. Fig with icecream- excellent.
Wine list is limited. Suggest bring your own, if you want a particular wine.
Overall a very good place to dine.

Krishna Indian Restaurant

Reviewed By justdoinggeography - Melbourne, Australia

Really tasty and pleasant Indian food and accompaniments. Two distinctly different curries and both were really good. Pieces of meat were very tender and lean. The breads (roti and naan) were also very well done. Portion sizes were more than adequate. Service was reasonably good given it was a busy night. All good.

Cerberus Beach House

Award-winning beachfront restaurant upstairs serving locally sourced modern Australian seafood cuisine with Asian influence an unique wine list, warm Bayside welcome, and stunning 180 degree views over Half Moon Bay. Alternatively visit our take away kiosk downstairs and enjoy traditional fish & chips right on the beach.

Reviewed By BenYorkie - Malaysia

A good place to get food, drinks(no alcohol onthe beach) and snacks. There's a downstairs kiosk which serves the beach front crowd and also an upstairs sit down much posher restaurant(serves alcohol).
We had our grub from the kiosk - lovely grilled salmon, smashing crispy barramundi fish & chips, and a lovely fresh Greek salad. We also ordered a serve of calamari which wasn't as good as our other meals - pity; we found the batter around the calamari greasy and undercooked.
But hats off to Cerberus - overall we had a very good lunch, and at fair prices.

We enjoyed our visit here a year ago so thought we should visit the Restaurant again, we were not disappointed the Service was excellent and the Sharing Dishes very good. Try the Spinach Starter, wonderful. We went for the Baramundy Fish and Steak that I had on Lentils quite superb and finished with a Coconut Cake and Coconut Parfait. The choice of wines excellent, the Pinot Noir excellent.

Sumalee

Reviewed By Abi C - Melbourne, Australia

Visited for a birthday dinner upon recommendations of friends. Bentwood chairs quaint but very uncomfortable. My sister and I both had the Fish on the Beach which was tasty and quite spicy with chilli throughout the dressing and on the fish. My father had the special ‘Honey Soy Ribs’ which he found a little sweet but very tasty. We were disappointed that there was only one panacotta available for dessert by the time we ordered but the restaurant is small so order early if you want to ensure you get what you want. Moderately priced restaurant but quality food that seemed fresh and well presented.

The Parlor Milkbar & Kitchen

Reviewed By CheltenhamVIC - Melbourne, Australia

The Parlor is tucked away amongst the golf courses along Weatherall Road. It's a nicely renovated building that is bright and airy inside. In winter there's an open fire.
It has a huge all-day breakfast menu, basic lunch items from 12 and I think there were some dinner items. The meals are mid-sized and delicious. Plenty of drinks on offer. A note on the menu ask diners not to customise meals when they're busy.
Service is very good.
In good weather there's a small deck out the front.
We enjoyed our quick lunch for four.
