Victor and Stan installed 2 ceiling fans. They were prompt (early, in fact!), efficient, personable and left no mess. I found Victor's details via WOMOW and would be very happy referring him to anyone requiring electrical work done.

Approximate cost: $470

I'm *not* a new-agey person by any means but Qi have won me over with their friendliness and range of stock. I've bought myself some beautiful, unusual malachite earrings, and several gifts for friends over the years. They also offer wonderful massages.

I come here when I have no idea what to buy for a child's birthday and the staff always point me in the right direction. The book selection is pretty good too.

This bookstore has one of the most luscious displays of books I've seen. The staff are always helpful, and are happy for people to browse without any pressure to buy. The adjoining cafe - Feedings - has lovely coffee and cakes.

If I have to buy new books (I usually buy them 2nd hand), I come here. The woman who handles the children's/YA section is amazing. She is so knowledgable! Even though I don't buy many books here, over the past couple of years I've amassed enough points through their loyalty club to receive a $25 voucher.

This review is for Fabulous Fine Food, McKinnon VIC

I didn't find it *Fabulous*. Pleasant, satisfactory, OK, more like it. It didn't help that the air-conditioning was blasting, and the venue itself is very sterile-looking, which didn't make for a pleasant atmosphere. My main meal was nice, nothing memorable, and I found the dessert tasting platter (shared amongst 3 of us) more than enough. We even left some of it, as it wasn't break-your-diet-delectable. The staff were lovely though. I found it too expensive for a suburban restaurant.

I've been here twice and really like this restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious, and unlike many other Asian restaurants, the decor is wonderful and inviting. My bookgroup has chosen it to be our new permanent monthly venue.

This review is for Gattica, Balaclava VIC

I must admit, I took my kids here for breakfast because we couldn't get in at Las Chicas. We were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was, and very reasonably priced. Homemade waffles, good French toast, and delicious Eggs Florentine. The waitress was happy to give the kids half-serves of the French toast and waffles. The only thing that let the experience down was the coffee wasn't up to the standard of the food (it was good, not great).

This is my second home! I love this library. The staff are friendly and helpful, and I regularly use their on-line catalogue to reserve and request books for purchase.

Approximate cost: $free

This review is for Phoenix Cafe, Malvern East VIC

I've visited here twice. Once for lunch - a delicious home-made lamb and cabbage sausage roll - and both times for coffee, which is fair-trade. The coffee was one of the nicest I've had in a long time, but I found it too expensive $3.50 for a suburban cafe. The service lady was very chatty and friendly the first time, but not so much the second.
