I have never had a filling in my life (I'm in my late 20's) until I went to Dr. Chan. Then I had to go back three times to have the same filling redone, because my tooth kept getting worse each time. After the third time, I ended up going to someone else, who said that I am going to need a root canal because there is such a large cavity since it wasn't repaired properly in the first place.

I told my aunty about my experience, because she is the one who referred me to Dr. Chan, and she said that she experienced the same thing, and had her root canal done by another dentist.

This is a restaurant run by students. We went during assessment time, so you could tell that the students were a bit nervous, which made us a bit nervous too! But food was fantastic, the service was fantastic without being over-bearing, and it was a great atmosphere.
We will be going back again in 2 weeks!

Booked a table for 12 on a Saturday night. When we arrived on time, they said there was no record of our booking, and that there was one table available, but we had to leave in 1 hour because it was reserved for another group.

We were not happy about this, but there were 12 of us there, so just sat down. We ordered our meals, which came promptly, but when we asked for extra tomato sauce, we were given a bowl of sauce that looked like it had been sitting in room temperature for several hours. It was dry and crusty on the edges, and it just did not look like fresh sauce. We asked the waitress to give us a new sauce, and we saw her walk to a waiter's bench by the kitchen, and use a wet chux to wipe down the edges. She came back and placed it back on our table. We then told her that we saw what she did, and she snapped back that it was busy so there's no time to get more sauce, they are all pre-made.

When we said we wanted to speak to the manager, she said he wasn't there, and walked off. She returned 10 minutes later with the bill, which we very reluctantly paid and needless to say, left no tip.

Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Have been going to this shop for years. Wide range of items including gift cards and wrapping, arts and crafts, homewares, toys, stationery, etc. Very reasonable prices, and staff are very friendly.

My partner and I have been going there for years, and have never had a bad experience! Weekend service is a bit slow because they only have 2 waiters working at the one time, but they are always very apologetic. Food is great, too!

I placed my 6 year old maltese terrier in their care after he had been coughing and having trouble breathing for 2 days. They took some X-Rays and blood tests, and said they wanted to keep him there over the weekend to keep an eye on him while they were waiting for the results. (This was a Friday). They moved him to a sister clinic in Templestowe, where we assumed there would be 24 hour care. On the Sunday morning, I received a telephone call from a nurse saying that she had just arrived and found that he had passed on during the night. I was devastated. He had passed away probably in a lot of pain by himself in a strange place. They had led me to believe that it was only something mild, and he would be better after the weekend.
I placed my trust in them by leaving my much loved pet there over night, when he could have stayed home with me by my side so that he didn't have to suffer like he did.

Approximate cost: $600
