This is a great idea! I really hope it takes off! It's really hard to decifer the yellow pages at times - let alone know if the services are what you are looking for! In terms of the webiste itself, I have had prompt answers to my queries regarding my account. It has an easy to use interface and very straightforward and easy to understand rating system. Way to go!

This review is for Starbucks, Frankston VIC

The coffee is consistent, although several times when I visisted they were out of my favorite product! :( Service could be better, a bunch of young people who sometimes appear to enjoy talking amongst themselves rather than taking your order. Otherwise my orders have always been made promptly and deliciously. It is an awkward space as well - can be crowded. But there is a play area just outside so you can watch your kiddies play while you enjoy your coffee

Approximate cost: $5.00

This review is for Wotif.com, Milton QLD

This website allows you to browse and compare accomodation easily. You can choose your location and it will give you a list of all hotels etc in rating order. If you're like me, you might be a little scared of booking things online, but wotif made it really easy. The booking fee is minimal, and everything worked out! Other sites make it very difficult to see and compare all your options. Wotif even have deals from time to time offering cheaper accomodation.

This review is for Kmart Tyre & Auto Service, St Albans VIC

After recently moving to the area needed to get car serviced, found their book service prices cheaper than hyundais service prices. The fact of being local means less travelling time & also less hassle leaving car there for the day while service done. Staff friendly & knowledgeable - called me prior to doing any work to confirm I was happy with price. Fast turnaround on all repairs, haven't had any probs yet.

This review is for Expresso Bagels, Melbourne VIC

I go out of my way to get to this place. I'm a uni student so even setting food off-campus is a big deal! Everywhere else I've gotten a bagel they are always hard & dried up. This place bakes them fresh on premises everyday! Mmmmmmm! AND you can get a toasted bagel with cream cheese and a GREAT coffee for 5 bucks!! They have a nifty reward system too if you like freebies (like me) - you get a free bagel after your 7th visit!

This review is for Oaks on Market, Melbourne VIC

Self rated at 4 and a half stars, this hotel was quite nice. Studio apartments with a full kitchen, you could hide away in your room quite happily. Centrally located, although there isnt much in the way of entertainment in that end of town. Breakfast facilities left a little to be desired - hot food was more room temperature & a little disappointing.

This review is for Beach Hut Cafe, Hastings VIC

A great little cafe. Brekky is served all day - high quality and generous portion sizes. They also allow you to only order half a portion if you are a small eater. The staff like familiarity and make an effort to get to know you. Fast service and great coffee too!

This review is for La Porchetta, Hastings VIC

La Porchetta is a well known chain so you may be wary to visit them. The Hastings establishment is an exception to the shabby reputation these restaurants have. Maybe because its relatively new, but it is a nice clean space, family friendly, fast, friendly service and a great menu. The Hastings menu has special gourmet pizzas and even a salmon pasta - my fave! check it out!

Approximate cost: $10.00

This review is for Encore Pizza, Hastings VIC

verified email - 21 Sep 2007

Encore is one of those independent chains which have popped up - its a shame they aren't growing faster. The pizza base they have developed is to die for - definately try the Aussie pizza, the egg comes out really deliciously! I've never had a problem with their service - yes they get busy - but thats a good sign!!

Approximate cost: $6.00

This review is for Somerville Chiropractic, Somerville VIC

Being a little apprehensive as I hadn't vistited a chiropractor before, and I didn't have a referral from my doctor, Dr Marisa was extremely friendly and accomodating. Everything was explainted to me thoroughly and my initial consultation was stress-free and informative. Dr Marisa's bedside manner is extraordinary and to be commended! The practice is run by young & energetic individuals who are ideally suited to work in the health care profession. I even got a student discount!
