We have become regulars to this family business. Their food is homemade and Joe and Laura are extremely friendly. I love their homemade creme caramel! The restaurant is simple but big on food. I always leave full and completely satisfied. So many have become regulars to this place. Totally recommend it if you are big on homemade food!

This review is for Chilli Obsession, Olinda VIC

This store is amazing and not to be missed for Chilli lovers or even those wishing to experience a unique taste. The store is filled with wonderful products and you can even sample them. Almost all of the chilli products had a rating on their degree of hotness which for those willing or brave enough could put to the test. Eg. Try the 'RIP' chilli sauce or 'Mega' chilli sauce which had my friend in tears and my husband sweating! I loved the chilli chocolate!

Cliff the owner was extremely helpful and always had time to answer our questions. We loved this place for its products as well as the experience that Cliff provided.

This review is for Toby's Estate, Brunswick VIC

Being a coffee lover I am always on the lookout for great coffee. I had heard about Toby's Estate coffee but never had the chance to try it so I went on the search to find it. I was glad to hear that there was a Toby's Estate cafe in Brunswick. I went on a Sunday afternoon and was not disappointed.

I ordered a soy flat white and a berry muffin. The coffee was creamy and delicious and the muffin not only looked yummy but was very tasty. The gentleman that served me was very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be going back again.

This review is for Dr Michael Togias Dental Surgery, Brunswick VIC

I needed to see a dentist after moving into this area. I came on WOW and found this dentist. I couldn't be more happier with the service of Dr. Fallen and them at this survey. I had my yearly check up and had some minor work done which was quick, painless and the team was really friendly and professional. The price of their service was also affordable. I'd highly recommend this surgery!

This review is for Adorable Limousines, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 26 Feb 2010

We decided to hire a 10 seater limousine for our wedding as it made sense for convenience and affordability when transporting people around for photo shoots in between the ceremony and reception. We found this limousine business on the internet but as soon as we spoke and met with Victor, we couldn't be more happier with choosing Adorable Limousine.

Victor was very friendly, flexible and accommodating to our needs. Nothing could have made this part of the wedding plans easier. Victor was professional and even let us see and sit in the limousine that we were hiring for the day.

Our wedding day was on the Footy Grand finals day which was cold, windy and very wet. Victor couldn't have been more helpful to us and our wedding party. He provided us with umbrellas and made sure that we were kept out of the rain when getting in and out of the limousine. Victor even allowed us to eat our mini lunch in the limousine along with our drinks as it was too wet to eat outdoors.

But the most impressive and most generous offer that Victor gave us that night was an act of kindness. At the end of the night, we had quite a few stranded guests without taxis due to the shortage of them on Grand final night. Without complaint and still a smile on his face, Victor took our stranded guests and drove each of them home. It took him about two hours before he was done.

I would highly recommend Victor and Adorable Limousines. They are very affordable, professional and their customer service is beyond anything that I have experienced. I'd use them again.

This review is for Desiren Wedding Photographer, Northcote VIC

verified email - 26 Feb 2010

After looking around for a suitable photographer for our wedding, we found Desiren. Not only was Sash professional and affordable he is very talented. We booked a time to see him and his work and we were not disappointed. We liked his style and he was very flexible and accommodating to meet our needs.

What made Desiren stand out from other photographers was he did not have set packages but rather options that we could build on to make our own package to meet our needs and budget.

During our meeting, we discussed locations of where we wanted to have our photos taken which were all outdoors. A few days before our wedding, there was a big possibility of rain on the day. Sash called us two days before the day to discuss back up locations in case the weather did not hold up. He was very helpful and provided great suggestions of undercover outdoor locations. Just as well he did as our wedding day was cold, windy and full of heavy rain. With our back up locations in place, all went without a hitch and without time wasted!!! We enjoyed the photo shoots along with our bridal party as Sash made it enjoyable, relaxed and so natural.

We loved how our photos turned out as there were plenty of posing but all so natural. He definitely caught our personalities in our photos!!! Desiren also makes the photos available online 2-3 days after the event so we could take a sneak preview. This was great for our family members overseas that could not make the journey.

We definitely recommend Sash and the team at Desiren! Once we have our own little family, we are looking forward to Sash taking our family photo!

Thanks Desiren for capturing a piece of our history!!!

This review is for Vitality, Middle Park VIC

I have been going to Vitality on and off for a number of years and the team are always professional and friendly. I have even moved out of the area but find myself making the extra trip as I enjoy what this practice has to offer. I initially started going as my back, posture and shoulders were dis-aligned and very noticeably. After my treatment, the results spoke for themselves and I felt great. They look at the whole picture and provide great advice. I highly recommend the team at Vitality.

Approximate cost: $50
