The Hogs Breath on Raby Bay Harbour has such great ambience in its surrounds that despite all the…read moretrouble the designers have gone to to make us feel like we're in an episode of the Dukes of Hazzard, we always sit ouside near the water. Maybe this why the Boss Hog has his headquarters here, who knows? It's really worth a look even if you've been to a Hog's Breath before. I think the business has got a fun thing going for it, and it reminds of the Bubba Gump shrimp restaurants in the US and so I have a little soft spot for it, I admit. The food is good, the toppings are tasty and the steaks are always tender, cooked as they are over 18 hours using an amazing slow roasting technique. My friends have a definite thing for the curly fries and aioli and we do tend to get there at least a couple of times a year so we're still having fun there.

I've noticed that the cuts if rump have had a bit more fat of late, would be nice to have the larger / expensive cut without any wasted bits. I was a little disappointed that when I found hair in my salad, had to wait an unusually long time for anyone to ask me about my meal, and when I politely told them about it, they whisked the plate and offending hair away. I didn't hear back about it until I went to the register, when the staff member told me that they checked the hair with kitchen staff, it didn't belong to them, so that's that... Other than that, it would have been 4 stars

I work in the area and there are quite a few coffee shops along the strip. Eventually, I thought I should give them a go and I am pleased to say that I really enjoyed the coffee and the place. They have a warm, vibrant atmosphere and mixed with the relaxed feel all the Redlands seems to have, it is a good combination. I really enjoyed my homemade muffin and cappuccino combo. They also have a really good variety on the menu including baguettes and sandwiches plus I was really temped by their breakfast menu... must come back for breakfast one day soon. They are a little far, I can walk to at least 3 coffee places from where I work and unfortunately I would have to drive to get to Mila. No problem, possibly they might just become my weekend cafe of choice instead.

I asked if they could make it for me: pancakes (or waffles are a good enough alternative) with bacon and poached eggs with maple syrup. Realizing my origin, the staff went and bought some real maple syrup from the nearby shop instead of using the standard maple flavored syrup. A++ on customer service and going the extra mile for a good meal.

It would be a great spot to bring visitors, but we have had multiple rough experiences so I guess at a certain point, you give up on them. The latest weirdness - 8am Saturday morning and it was not busy at all, we got there and nobody greeted us so I went up to a waiter and asked if it was ok if we sat in the corner on the patio with the dog, and he pointed at the sign and said with a tone, "As you can see on the sign, please wait to be seated". After that, he went and whispered to the waitress who said we had to sit at the table on the edge of the pathway instead (remember there is no one there, but I guess if that's their rule, so ok). Still the vibe just rubbed us the wrong way and I'm not trying to pay to have an uncomfortable breakfast experience, so we said thanks, but no thanks and went somewhere else.

Just a short stroll from the…read moreCleveland town centre through the library square and parkland, the harbour eateries have gorgeous views over the water and some very cool boats moored there. But back to Noci, a family business with a great pizza and pasta menu. We usually go for lunch and share, say, three pizzas between four or five of us. They are about $16 each. Don't expect to come away stuffed though, with the feeling that you must have an afternoon snooze. These pizzas are light, with a thin and crispy base, very like you'd expect to find in Italy. My favourite night time meal though, is without a doubt the sandcrab lasagne. There are good house wines and beers, too, so we like to eat here before wandering up to a show at RPAC, the performing arts centre a couple of hundred metres away.

I strolled in…read morelooking for a drink to cure my three thirty-itis and came across customers relaxing in the quiet, tree surrounded courtyard enjoying an afternoon cup of coffee. Inside, the warm lighting highlights the extensive chalkboard menu above the counter. The inviting cake cabinet beckons as you stand there wondering what to order. Since I was full from lunch I was a little boring and decided to settle with a cold drink from their refrigerator. My Spring Valley juice doesn't give me much to say in way of recommendation of this place, but I really enjoyed the setting. It is a little place beside not much else but the road, so the view is not spectacular, but the trees make the courtyard feel somewhat enclosed and it is still a quiet, relaxing place. I have checked out some other reviews which were all very flattering, raving about the food, so I have made a mental note to return and see what all the fuss is about. The kitchen closes about an hour before closing time.
