This review is for Mini Maestros, Glen Waverley VIC

verified email - 01 Feb 2013

My little girl has been going to Mini Maestros in Glen Waverley for more than a year now.

Jeanette has been running the classes there for more than 15 years now and has a real understanding of keeping kids entertained. My daughter loves Tue singing and dancing and in the off weeks between classes asks when Tue next class is.

It is also flexible and if you kiss one class you can go to a different one in that week. Price is a bit high for Tue really little opined AA the class is reqlly short but it is worth it to see the smiles on Tue little ones faces.

I went here to get a medical certificate for a bad back and the doctor did everything but call me a fake. He could not diagnose the issue so his conclusion was there was nothing wrong even though I could not walk without assistance and gasped in pain as he ran his tests.

An NEO recommended by a more competent Dr elsewhere diagnosed arthritis in my back.

I can only assume I got the bad doctor and the other ones there as more competent but I will not be returning

My wife regularly visits here for lunch and loves the coffee.
Our little daughter goes too and loves donuts. Even though the don't usually stock them they get one in when they know my wife and daughter are comming.

Really friendly service that makes you feel valued is why they get our repeat business.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Nu Energy, Heidelberg Heights VIC

I went with Ni Energy for 1.5 kw solar power at my old place because they were cheaper than all else.

They used cheap Chinese panels but the business and supplier had been going for a while and it was all approved by the green energy council.

The aerosharp inverted supplied was crap however. It is noisy, does not last long and has a low conversion rate.

The call centre used a satelite photo of my roof to say it would fit. The insrallers nearly walked away when they saw I had solar hot water that was installed after the satelite shot. I had explained this over the phone but I guess the consultant just wanted the sale. I was able to convince the installers that the system could be installed on to parts of the roof that face the same way. They did it reluctantly and the system worked fine. A friend was not so fortunate and his system was put on a east nacing roof rather than the north face. My understanding is they pay minimum wage and the contractors don't want to do the extra work.

Having said all that the system did work and I got reasonable value from it. I moved out after a couple of years and the system definitely did not work as well on the second year

I would not recommend them because of all the hassle I had getting the system but if you don't mind this and want a cheap working system then these guys will work out fine for you.

Approximate cost: $2000

We were a bit worried to see a warning on the table saying the restaurant was new the staff may make errors

With the unique ordering (you write menu items on a pad, buzz the staff and they pick it up) it was hard for them to make many mistakes.

I ordered the bread with curry chicken and a biryani rice main. It was a bit much for me and was very nice.

My friends ordered the special drinks but were not impressed.

Overall it was a good experience and a little different but I would favour the traditional food cooked with more care taken

Approximate cost: $25

It is always quiet here for lunch which suits me as their mini pizzas are very good.

They take a while to come out but that could be because I have always been in a large group when we ordered.

The beers on tap are a bit limited but it us the food I come for.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Precinct Hotel, Richmond VIC

A good place to come and have few before heading down to the sports precinct.

Fat Yak on tap is my choice. Get there early and bulk order because the crowd gets thick just before start time. The beer does not get to warm and there are live games to watch ad you chat with your mates.

Approximate cost: $7

This review is for Belgian Beer Cafe Melbourne, Southbank VIC

It has all the same beers of the st molds rd one and similar service with the clean washed glass and all but it lacks the atmosphere and bluestone walls of the other one.

Food is heavy and greasy as well as a bit pricey. I would recommend you eat elsewhere but the beers are worth the trip if you cannot get down to the other one.

I have visited here a couple of times for company farewells. The bar is a good size and the shoesteinf fries are nice although very heavily salted.

Bar service can be slow for a bar this size but that us a function of its popularity. It is not as bad as many others.

Atmosphere is relaxed and as a venue it is ok but I think there are better around.

Popped in here for the friday after work drinks. Right up to the rooftop bar. They had a good selection of microbrews available and it was not too crowded.

Chose the Holgate and was not disapointed.

Will return for a couple more in future.

Approximate cost: $8
