Real care and consideration taken with the combination of ingredients and preparation of an awesome grilled chicken burger, after this you will forget the rest. It is the best quality and price for you $$
Would definitely recommend you look out for the Big Mouth Cafe as it is easy to drive by in the constant traffic. There is parking down the side street.
It is not the most comfortable place to eat in and looks are deceiving because what translates from the menu to the plate in front of you is one that you will truly enjoy.
It's a place other cafes around could learn from.
Looking forward to trying something different next time.

Approximate cost: $20

This is the second time I have used Verna Custom Doors and Flatpack Kitchens.
Ralph and the boys are constantly coming up with fantastic improvements to make the process fool proof.
After disastrous experiences with previous companies that do flat pack kitchens- one of which I have reviewed previously, I just cannot recommend checking this company out strong enough.
We first used Verna flatpack kitchens in 2010- Ralph was fantastic and listened and worked with the detail we wanted in a kitchen and drew up the plan- delivery with Frank and Louie went without a hitch- any problems, mainly in me initially not understand how a part worked etc was quickly addressed by Ralph or Louie and nothing was a problem.
Fast forward to November 2014 and I am in awe and would just like to yell out to anyone looking at doing a flat pack- go and have a chat with Ralph.
All the wood components are made onsite in the factory and not shipped in from overseas- price is really competitive- I am just so impressed and Congratulate the boys and staff at Verna- the first experience was great- this time around I just cannot thank them enough- check them out and go and have a chat- service is unbelievable- product is amazing much much better than the big hardware stores that are promoting parts that are made OS. Its the small things they have done that make the process of assembling your kitchen foolproof.

Approximate cost: $4000

I have been coming here for a while and Mat is always reliable but not that fantastic with conversation relaying information about your car in general but I put that down to maybe just being shy as I have never had a problem with any work that has been done.

Approximate cost: $depends on whats required but generally better than others when comparing prices

Quite Embarrassed for years over facial hair and had tried alternative ways in which my skin became quite sensitive and it would always grow back stronger and thicker.
A friend knew how I felt and had just started going to this place when her other skin therapist couldn't fit her in. One day she mentioned my concerns and Sophie told her, to tell me to come in and she would go through ways in which she could help me.
I was desperate and my self esteem was diving over this issue – so I went and saw Sophie.
Sophie listened to what I had been through before and made some recommendations on how she would do treatments for me.
I cannot believe how quickly I responded – the initial treatment was $80 but I had good results as the hair wasn't growing back the same way.
Due to money issues I then did the remainder of the regrowth with electrolysis and I am so happy. I now only go once a month if required.
Amazing we are talking about quite fine facial skin that was hormonally starting to get a beard. Other places I went to wanted to charge me over $2000 pretty much locked into a contract otherwise no guarantee of treatment if hair kept going.
At Let's Face it- no contract or being locked into a treatment that may not work.
I cannot recommend this place enough- for its understanding and treatment practices all the ladies here are fantasic.

Approximate cost: $20+

This review is for Fisher Lane Medical- Equipment Specialists, Abbotsford VIC

After having a very disappointing visit at Aidacare Showroom in Brunswick East we decided to go to Fisher Lane Mobility Pty Ltd in Abbotsford and we were so glad we did. The showroom has a lot to offer but more importantly the advice, care and knowledge was invaluable. They listened to our needs and helped us come up with solutions. We cannot thank them enough and to tell them that all they can say is that's why we're here. When you go to as many places as what we have in search for a compatible wheelchair and have had to deal with a couple of shops that were arrogant to say the least and try and push you to a product that was overpriced and not appropriate to our needs and then come to Fisher Lane Mobility is beyond a breath of fresh air and we are so grateful for their help and assistance. Hire is available for most things too.

Approximate cost: $42

We went in to the showroom on a Friday afternoon in Oct 2010, needing a wheelchair for elderly friend. The older lady (unfortunately I didn't get her name) was quite dismissive and rude in regards to our needs. Basically she couldn't be bothered serving us and was only interested in finishing in an hour's time, as she mentioned to her co-worker. Unfortunately her wheelchair bound co-worker who was serving another customer had the same attitude. We took our business to Fisher Lane Mobility Pty Ltd at 26 Victoria Crescent Abbotsford (03) 9419 2250 who had a totally different attitude and where more than professionally accommodating. Fisher Lane Mobility is an amazing company right from their welcoming receptionist to their amazing helpful staff, which I will review separately.

This review is for Dino's Family Restaurant, Preston VIC

Fantastic food and never had a problem with the service, always extremely friendly.
Great variety including - Pizza, Pasta, Seafood, Steak, Grills.
Open kitchen, so that you see all the action if you want to.
The only negative I would say is. If you want to dine in a quiet environment, this is not always the place as at times, depending on the size of the group that is dining there it can be quite noisy and hard to hear at your own table. But don't let that deter you as this place will more than give you great value in food and service alone.
We love coming back here. Maybe I shouldn't be rating this place as it might make it harder for us to get a table next time.

Approximate cost: $20's

This review is for Flatpack Kitchens & Design, Bayswater VIC

Used them before for Mother in-law's kitchen and everything went well.
Went early 2009 for our own and our experience with husband (owner) and his wife were a nightmare to say the least.
Kept losing our details and messages.
Owner wouldn't detail what we were paying for. Provided us with a plan and measurements, of which Owner says he never does but did, so we could have one of his recommended installers come and check our measurements to make sure everything was correct. We did this and once measurement were verified we asked Owner again to provide us with a breakdown of cost prior to us signing a contract, to which Owner said he would but we would have to send him $50 first, which we did via computer payment. When we received Owners Fax, there was no breakdown and he sent us a copy of the plan he had already given us.
He wouldn't refund the $50 even when we could prove to him he had made a mistake. Owner's wife would hang up on us when we would (and I can say calmly) explain what had happened, it became more heated when we actually went down there and said to them that we would still go ahead if they could provide us with details of what we were paying for.
To say they were both rude is an understatement and Owner had to calm wife down a couple of times.
This is a true account of what happened and we will sign a statement to that effect, we were considering taking action but it is easier to lose $50 than days in court. It could have been thousands so we now consider ourselves lucky it was $50

Approximate cost: $4,500

Dr David Sollberger is the only one i would recomend, whilst the others are good Dr Sollberger just has a way of getting the most chronic pain under control.

Spotless and very friendly was the first thing that I noticed. Exceptional care and service. Having had a couple of very bad experiences with Dentist I was Nervous to say the least and I explained to Dr Hem what had happened in the past. He was fantastic explained everything(which he really didnt have to) The Fact that he didnt Hurt made me relax and not hesitate to make an appointment if i have a problem with my teeth. I have been a client now for about 6 years and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr Chris Hem to anyone for a number of different Dental procedures
