From the warm reception by staff members to the great service at dessert, this Thai restaurant has surpassed my expectations, and I've been here before a couple of times for lunch and dinner. You would love the space of the place but make sure you make a booking to avoid the difficult time of waiting (smelling that grand aroma from Southeast Asia), or worse, having to go someplace else! The menu is as colourful as its cultural heritage, but don't fret if you cannot eat spicy foods just like yours truly. They can attempt to not add chillies to that fish dish that you oh-so-crave! Choose your own adventure with the menu and you'll be smiling 'til the lat bite. The dessert is as rich, even if we brought a cake for the birthday person, they were still very accommodating! The professional floor staff and those in the kitchen are very hospitable. And efficient. #HighlyRecommended

I have now tried both the pizza and pasta at Red Pepper and both meals were incredibly good and have me coming back for more. I highly recommend the Mediterranean lamb pizza. It has the perfect combination of ingredients that are a match made for my mouth. The eggplant dip on top defiantly is the icing on the pizza.

Got Takeaway from here for our usual - Takeaway Movie night…read more It was Fantastic, worthy of been given my first 4 Star Review. The Spicy Hot Pizza was easy to eat and thin. It wasnt too hot which I was hoping. And it just had a great subtle spicy aftertaste. It was at the right level. Spot on. The Garlic Bread was nice, a good way to start things off slow. The Pasta was also very good. Nice Flavour. Would of liked a little more seafood inside of it like prawns. It was satisfying. Good Stuff. My friend had the entire BBQ Meatlovers Pizza so I cannot judge that one. But I just really liked how it was a nice balance of 3 different foods, it was a slow build, bread to start off, then pasta, then a couple of pizza slices to finish off later on. It wasnt too over the top or in your face. It was at a relaxed, subtle level. Everything worked out well, a smooth experience. 4 stars. Very happy.

The service was pretty good, though the servings really weren't all that great. While you got a pretty good serving of meat (at a price that matched), the sides really weren't all that great. Still, I suspect that it is one of those places that you sort of need to know about before you visit as opposed to simply walking in off the street, as we are prone to do.

Once again we travel on our hunt around the area for Melbourne's best American BBQ. The last time…read morewe did this was to the Melbourne BBQ Festival at the Victoria Markets where we were immensely disappointed. We were determined on this Valentines Day evening for a Melbourne BBQ redemption, and Ike's did not let us down. We were seated straight away, and our waitress (I think her name was Katie) was an absolute hoot. She had my wife in stitches with laughter. The jokes were just bouncing back and forth until we eventually ordered. I ordered a half pound of pork ribs, whereas the other half went the lamb ribs. Between us, we shared home made cornbread & a salsa dish. I honestly did not have enough time to grab my phone to check in on social media sites, and BANG!!! The food was served. There is no way to describe what sort of party my taste buds were having in my mouth, however this party could have made some serious money on cover charges to this party. The cornbread was nothing like I have tasted before, and after visiting diners in 34 American States which I have visited, this cornbread leaves the rest for dead. The salsa with its secret little ingredients was hard to put down, and then the meat. It just melted in your mouth. When we initially started talking to the waitress she asked if we had been to Le Bon Ton in Richmond as a comparison, where she explained that Ike's is better. Big shoes to fill but they did not disappoint.

They had no daily specials so the Brussels sprouts, watermelon salad and corn salad not to mention the bean kimchi accompaniments were all gone. In their place was a potato waffle and chicken gravy which were good but not great and roasted red peppers which I thought was the best thing we ate. Our half pound of pork ribs looked pretty lonely served on some baking paper on a metal lunch tray with some cabbage and I kind of felt a little like I was in jail or a canteen. Whilst it was a bit more practical space wise it really lost it's appeal for me. All in all I had difficulty deciding what to eat from the menu because I don't love the smokiness of ribs and mainly ate the sides which were good just not great. I'd drop it to a 3.5 stars and not too sure I'd be back but my partner gives it a 4 stars.
