The tapas variety was plentiful and of good quality. The manchengo croquettes were particularly perfect, but was is there not to love about a warm runny cheese filling? The standout for me was the duck. This main dish was cooked delicately to perfection and I don't think I will be able to look past it when I return next. A great selection of desserts and a cheery atmosphere complete this great pick in Geelong.

My wife and I also had a winter wedding at Allsmiles.Our special day was fantastic. The attention…read moreto details and the ease with which Kat just made everything happen really put both of us at ease on the day. From the first meeting to the last guest leaving there was nothing that was too hard. She was always available to chat about the finer details and was always ready with some local knowledge of people who could help out, or had already thought ahead and had a solution that the venue could supply. Some of our guests had very specific dietary requirements that we were a little worried about but the staff were on the ball all night and kept up food for these people that was of such a high quality and abundance that they did not feel in the slightest left out or forgotten. The food in general was just great and there was so much that it certainly did not feel like a cocktail event at all. The kids (and some of the adults!) certainly loved the desserts, especially the ice creams!! We were already sold on the venue but Kat and her team made this the best day it could have been. We have had so many of guests tell us that it was the best wedding they had been to and this is entirely thanks to Kat and all of the staff at All Smiles Sorrento. Thanks once again and you can certainly be sure that we have and will continue to be regular customers who can't speak highly enough of the service and staff at your venue.

Pre-Review Disclaimer! I came here at 9:30am (Opening Time) for breakfast OFF SEASON, but noticed…read moretheir lunch menu looked far more promising. !! If you're coming here in the 'on' season, you might be treated to a simplistic buffet breakfast of Scrambled eggs & a few sides. !! Went on a lovely long walk early in the morning and wound up at Sorrento's beautiful little back beach, right as the All Smiles was opening shop. We chose to sit in the enclosed balcony, because we were the only customers they had - and MAN, the views were ASTONISHINGLY beautiful. We were so excited for breakfast by the beach, it was gonna be a wonderful start to the morning. Except All Smiles doesn't serve breakfast, not really. Not unless you'd count Mousse or Apple Crumble as breakfast, or a Chicken Avocado Focaccia. The menu was very restrictive, and felt like it was aimed at your 76 year old local nanna who likes scones and tea for breakfast - a real juxtaposition to the general atmosphere of the cafe, which is modern and spacious. The scones were in the process of being made when we arrived, which was both exciting (fresh, hot scones! Hells yeah!) and disappointing, because of the 40 minute wait. All Smiles really was not expecting customers so early, it seemed. That said, the staff (or the few that were there) were attentive and friendly, apologising for the wait for several of their menu options (no chicken until the afternoon, so no focaccia, scones aren't done, please wait, yada yada) - but since I'm a reasonably patient person who likes to stare off into the distance with a vague, sleepy expression on their face, I was pretty happy just watching the surf and sipping my latte (it was a good latte.) When the food DID get to the table, I was so glad we ordered the scones, wait or no. They were piping hot, the cream was thick and sweet, and the raspberry jam was tart and delicious. The Egg&Bacon Turkish focaccia looked great, and the Apple crumble was impressive. My only qualm? It's not breakfast food! If you're not gonna offer at least an egg on toast, I don't REALLY see the point of offering desserts as a replacement. Maybe I'm weird, though. To repeat what I said first though, this was just the "breakfast" menu. I did snatch a peek at the lunch menu, which looked much more promising, with curries and soups on it. All Smiles just doesn't really do the breakfast thing - but if you're like Marie Antoinette, and think cake makes a suitable meal, this is the brunch spot for you.

Lord of the Isles has always been a bit hit and miss for me. I think the just try too hard to cater…read morefor everyone in Geelong. A fairly busy gaming room. An impressive looking dinning room and and outside back bar. Whilst independently they may work fine, as a whole ... not so much. I don't play the pokies so I can comment on that area. The 'back bar' as a whole is quite comfortable in both hot and cold weather and tapas style bar food that is mostly good. However if you choose to visit on a Geelong game day, expect noise and a lot of it (that said, most pubs in G'town are the same). For me, the biggest let down is the food. They are expensive. Add about an extra 10-15% to what you'd expect in Melbourne. I don't know why. Coz as I have said, it's very hit and miss. I've had a few great meals Any time I've ordered duck or veal its been great. However, there's been more lows than high. $22 for a chicken ceaser salad with under cooked chicken and a hard poached egg. Really?? If I'm willing to hand over $22 for a salad, it better be perfect! Fish dishes are the same. Sometimes ok, but more often than not below par. I 'd suggest they either lower the prices (and therefore the customers expectations) or get the dishes spot on every time. The service has always been polite, helpful and prompt.

For example Umbra pizza is tomato, mozzarella, cacciatore sausage, buffalo cheese and Zucchini which sounds like a big pizza however it was only about 5mm thick. Very tasty but all pizzas are only 30cm big so if you are very hungry go elsewhere. However if you like that sort of pizza with a white wine or don't mind spending a fortune then go for it. Otherwise other pizza places in town are better. Nice tasting but expensive and you don't get a lot. 3/5 stars
