Been coming here for years for their potato wedges and Cococinos! I don't normally get anything else because it can be pricy, but if I had money I would cos their food is normally AWESOME!

Approximate cost: $20-25

This review is for Burwood Vet, Burwood VIC

This is my veterinary clinic of choice. The staff are friendly and sympathetic and are extremely professional and evidently highly trained in their fields. I can speak highly of the avian vets in particular, they are extremely knowledgeable and go out of their way to help you. One even gave me the opportunity to give chemotherapy to my budgerigar

awesome place, awesome ice cream! lots of different flavours of ice cream, i even got coconut! and even though the servings may appear small, I guarantee you'll have trouble finishing it! And I love it how they crunch/crush up lollies and choccies to put in the ice cream!

Approximate cost: $5 regular cup

I visit this clinic out of convenience. If I ever wanted to see a good doctor for a real problem I wouldn't visit this place. That's not to say all the doctors are bad, only a select few who make you feel like a number on a long list that they plough through to make as much money as possible. I got misdiagnosed once and am still suffering from the same problem.

I only recommend visiting this clinic if you have a minor ailment or need a medical certificate or very VERY general medical advice.

This review is for Pie In The Sky, Olinda VIC

The pies are amazing! I have gone there several times and will continue to visit when I'm in the area. I love the pies, and they are quite cheap (ranging from $4-6 for pie only) and there is a lot of variety. Only criticism is that on busy days (weekends) you can't always get the type of pie you would like, but that isn't really their fault because they do get VERY busy. All in all, a great place :)

This review is for Peninsula Hot Springs, Fingal VIC

verified email - 03 Apr 2009

I have visited the Hot Springs several times and will always continue to do so. I've read some of the other reviews and people complain that it is too busy etc. well HELLO it is a very popular place, it's not THEIR fault it's busy. So here's a tip: visit during off peak hours, definitely not weekends (I know it can be difficult if you work full time, but the whole point is to relax and of course you can't relax if there's people everywhere ), and if you're making a booking for a special occasion eg. Valentine's Day, postpone it and do it another day!
I highly recommend twilight bathing, because it is awesome relaxing under the stars and it is normally not very busy. Also, I went and had a private bath with my boyfriend and it was AMAZING! The only problem is that it was extremely, extremely hot (obviously not their fault) so I only recommend it to people who can handle very hot baths. I found the service was very good, with polite and friendly staff who add to the relaxing experience. One highlight was the relaxation room (a private area you visit before entering the private pools), which was complete with the comfiest chairs and all kinds of herbal tea - it was a nice little surprise to find before we entered our private pool. My advice: go and see how awesome the hot springs are for yourself!!!

This review is for Volcano Joes, Burwood VIC

Have been here on a few occasions. Seems like just the average buffet restaurant, similar types of food from various cuisines, however it's best to go on a Fri/Sat night around dinner time so the food is more fresh. Love the jungle atmosphere with the waterfall and soft toy animals, it would be great for the kids. Overall, a decent night out.

Approximate cost: $25 buffet

This review is for Ocean King Chinese Restaurant, Glen Waverley VIC

verified email - 26 Mar 2009

Went to Ocean King for a graduation dinner. We were seated quickly and the food arrived promptly. The only criticism would be the level of service, normally at Chinese restaurants you receive a pot of tea as soon as you sit down. We only received our tea once our food arrived, and also they only gave us 2 menus for 6 people. Other than that, not a bad feed for reasonable price.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Romanza, Burwood East VIC

verified email - 26 Mar 2009

Attended the restaurant for a birthday with mixed expectations. Was very, very surprised at the high quality service, well-priced but very tasty meals and the relaxed mood of the place. At some other restaurants you can't enjoy your meal very much because it's too loud and there's too many little kids running amok, however, at Romanza this wasn't a problem. The tables were evenly spaced so you didn't have to feel cramped and the friendly staff were very observant and helpful.

Approximate cost: $25
