We went there for breakfast with friends on the weekend and it was quite busy. We had to get our own menus as the staff weren't attending to us. The meals were nice but for the price we were paying I would have expected more on the plate. The cafe was nicely set up but very noisy (coffee machine going all the time).

I was recommended to try them after my sister had a great experience with them. When I arrived they had double-booked my time slot so I had to wait about half an hour. The girl who cut my hair was great and did a lovely job. Very noisy place and I was surprised by the price they charged. The staff were all very young and stylish and I felt totally out of place!

I was recommended to go with Michael by my niece who just finished having lessons with him and passed her driving test the first time round. Her school friends had also used him and he has an excellent first-time pass rate, with over 20 years experience.

I had just bought a new manual car and needed to have a few refresher lessons as I have only ever driven an auto and started panicking that I had made a huge mistake in purchasing the car.

Michael was great and put me at ease straight away. The lessons were fun and informative and went for 45 minutes. Even though I have been driving for over 10 years Michael was still able to teach me quite a few things about road law that I never knew! With the dual pedals I always felt confident and reassured that I wasn't going to stall the car and cause a major traffic jam!

I would definitely recommend CrossRoads to anybody needing a driving instructor.

We get takeaway from here fortnightly and it is always great. Their chips and burgers are great and we have tried their salads a number of time which are always fresh and tasty. Its always busy.

I have been here on numerous occasions but just to get prescriptions refilled and because they bulk bill. I have never seen the same doctor more than once. The doctors are disinterested and keen to move onto their next patient. Reception staff are often rude.

Approximate cost: $bulk billing

Intimate restaurant which books up fast. Lovely pasta and woodfire pizza dishes and the menu is well priced. Situated in a busy shopping strip so it is quite difficult to get parking at peak times.

Amazing range of elegant giftware and artworks which always impress. I love just wondering around and looking at the pieces. Staff are professional and courteous and the store is always busy.

A good range of wedding dresses at the back of the store and a nice selection of bridesmaids dresses. The service varied between the three visits I made. Twice I was served by an older woman who was very helpful and attentive, and was able to suggest other dresses I might like to try on. The second occasion I was there a younger woman was serving me and just handed me the dress and walked off. I had to call my sister into the change room to help me with the dress as I got it stuck over my head and I also needed her to tie up the back of the dress.

Approximate cost: $2000

I went to the Brunswick store and found the range of dresses staggering. The staff were professional and courteous - I was also served by Carmela who was just lovely. They also had a great range of accessories that you could try on with your dress to get the full impact. I found the veils to be quite expensive though. I went to the store on three occasions and each time though I had an appointment I was kept waiting. Once you are being served however, you have the complete and undivided attention of your sales assistant.

Approximate cost: $2000
