This review is for Genesis Fitness Club, Box Hill South VIC

verified email - 06 Jan 2011

I've been a member at this gym since they first opened. The facilities are great, but the service leaves a lot to be desired. They will greet you warmly when you enter, but thats about it. The Personal training staff seem to leave in droves, and I always feel like they are trying to screw more money out of me. The times I did join one of their programs, the lack of support from the management and genesis once they had my money was really dissapointing. I keep my membership due to the new equipment and it being close to home, but there is no loyalty and I'd gladly change to anther gym if one was as convenient. They use the TV's on the cardio equipment as a selling point, but in reality only about 10% of these work, and things that break rarely get fixed properly (if ever). My feedback has never been addressed, and they don't communicate with members very well at all unless it's to sell something.

This review is for Vegie Hut, Box Hill VIC

I have been craving Vegie hut food ever since I first tried it, and get a bit desperate if I have to go without it for a while. The amount of food they serve for so little price is amazing. The choices on the menu are huge. Staff are very efficient and friendly enough if you engage them in a conversation, but otherwise will leave you alone. The biggest problem is getting a park nearby, especially if you want to pick up takeaway, but it's worth the effort for the food. I can highly recommend the banquet if you are trying it for the first time, as this will give you a taste of some of their best dishes, and you will be amazed by the amount of food you get for about $25 pp.

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for Rosie's Asian Kitchens, Box Hill South VIC

I've tried food from Rosie's a few times and found it very inconsistent. The first few times I was raving about the quality and freshness, but the last couple of times have been very disappointing. The decor is nothing special, and there is only room for a couple of tables inside, so most people seem to use it for takeaways only. I can highly recommend the vegetable spring rolls, which have always been consistently good, even when the main dishes let us down. The staff don't seem very organised, and I've witnessed other customers coming back because of missing or wrong food in their order a few times, and myself have had them forget to provide a required sauce. Overall I'd treat it as a gamble- it may pay off, or you may be sorry. If you try it, check your order carefully before you drive away.

This review is for Con's Fish And Chips, Blackburn South VIC

Con is a chip master...consistently the best chips I know of in the area. You won't be dissapointed. Highly recommend you phone ahead if ordering in a busy time (ie. friday or sat evening) as they get very busy.

This review is for Reel Hairdressing, Ringwood VIC

I have been going to Reel Hair for years and would not go anywhere else again. Lee always cuts my hair perfectly, gives very helpful advice, and is always conscious of pointing out costs to me and any ways I can save money on the services I need. Cannot recommend Reel Hair highly enough.

This review is for Cafe Bliss, Camberwell VIC

The food is absolutely divine for a cafe of this kind. A bit expensive for lunch every day, but sensational for a catch up etc. Outdoor tables are nice when weather warm, but passing traffic can be loud and the fumes can be smelly when you are trying to eat.

This review is for La Porchetta, Heathmont VIC

The pizza's are OK, although some are a little bland. The cheese 7 garlic pizza absolutely rocks every time, as long as you don't plan to kiss anybody later. The service was bare minimum. They weren't overly friendly and we got the impression they were just serving time till knock-off and didn't care less what our experience was.

This review is for JB Hi-Fi (Eastland), Ringwood VIC

verified email - 29 Nov 2007

I've never had a problem finding a CD or DVD I was looking for at JB, and I've never found anything cheaper (retail) than at JB. They are open late which is great, but I have found it difficult to get help, especially at night, when they seem to be understaffed

This review is for Dairy Bell Ice Cream, Bayswater North VIC

One word... Yuuum! Sensational ice cream and you MUST try the hot jam donuts which are to die for ! Open really late which is good for a late night craving.

Had one bad experience with a pharmacist embarrasing me a few years ago, but she seems to have left and since I've returned to the store in the last couple of years I have found them to be brilliant.The staff are incredibly helpful.
