The chips are almost always crisp and the fish is usually very good.

Sometimes they get it wrong with the fish and tgerevare bones but otherwise it is very good.

I have had the souva and the burger and they are nothing special. Domains are often overcooked. Potatoe cakes perfect.

It may depend likevI don't Luke them but I do. Fish and chips is what they do well, particularily the chips.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Forever Young Lomi Lomi Massage, Oakleigh VIC

verified email - 17 Dec 2012

The only thing that surprised me about this place is that I went back and gave them a second chance. Maybe it is the Limo Limo technique or maybe it was their technique but I left both times no more relaxed than when I went in. No delayed effect the next day either which can sometimes happen.

The layout is poor with one room huge and the other room I was placed in so small that I could hardly turn around.

Approximate cost: $60

I always go here off peak and early bird. It is amazing hot relaxed you are after an hour or two in the hot spring pools and the view at the top of the hill is well worth the climb.

Our two year old girl loves it too. It is a pity most pools are too hot for her but she has a ball anyway.

My wife has also had a massage here and still for a on about how great it was.

The only down side is we have to travel for 80 min to get there.

Approximate cost: $20

Had one massage here and it was pretty good.

You are welcomed in and asked to wait in a quiet peaceful part of the shop.

I was asked to leave my shoes and wear their sandles which made me a bit nervous - particularly when I found them a bit slippery on the stairs.

The massage room was quiet and the massage was very good. I came out very relaxed and that is what you want from a massage.

It is out of my way but I hope to return soon.

Approximate cost: $70

This review is for 57 Cafe Bar Restaurant, Mount Waverley VIC

Having been here once before we set to return. We were not blown away on the forts visit but the food was reasonable for the price and we thought we would go with a place where we knew what to expect.

Unfortunetly my heavily pregnant wife arrived first and was ignored for two minutes before being passed over and seeing another group that had freshly arrived seated ahead of her.

It was not acceptable and has put thus place on our avoid list.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Enzo's, Glen Waverley VIC

My wife found Enzo's and they managed to fit the group in on short notice.

We had ignored this place in the past thinking that it was too pricey. Now I know that the extra price goes on exceptional service.

The attention given would not be out of place in any top restaurant. The floor manager. Treated us like family more than customers and the food was very good.

It is fantastic to fine a place that holds such high standards in the suburbs. We will definitely be back.

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for Sunstainable, Coburg North VIC

verified email - 14 Dec 2012

I got several quotes for my 3kW system. Sunstainable were not the cheapest, but they were offering quality products with a longer sustained performance and they would work with my schedule rather than me having to work with theirs.

Installation was smooth. The two guys that came out were polite and kept the promises they made in terms of timeframes and outcomes.

After installation I got a call to ensure that I had submitted the paperwork for the premium feed in tarrif. There was nothing in it for them to do this and I thought it was a nice touch.

I have had two systems installed at two properties. One by sunstainable and one by a cheaper company. I would pay a bit more for these guys because you get what you want and they are much simpler to deal with.

18 months in and there has not been a problem with the system and it us performing as well as it did on day one.

This review is for Modern Roof Restoration, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 12 Dec 2012

I got quotes from Modern roof restoration when I needed to get the points on our house redone.

Modern originally quotes higher than the rest but after deeper investigation I found others were not following industry safety standards or were using suspect techniques.

Modern were up front on the item that they had in their qoute, had a warranty for their work and were a well established local business.

The workmen were punctual and courteous. They cleaned up after themselves and did a top job that still looks good.

I was also allowed to pay in interest free installments which reduced the financial stress on us.

I don't expect I will need them for a couple of decades and I wouldbrecommend them to anyone that needs the roof restored.

Approximate cost: $4200

My wife and I buy almost all our jewelry here. They look after us each time without pushy sales pressure.

My favourite occasion was when we went shopping for my wifes engagement ring. I took my wife there to look at what they had and to see of there was anything she liked. One ring stood out but it would be a month before I could return. I must point out that this had been my first visit to this store.

I returned a month later and got the same staff member. He remembered me and the ring I was looking at. He also pointed out that it had been on sale the week before (he was able to show me the catalogue) but he gave it to me at nearly the same price which was a considerable saving.

We have come back to get it cleaned with no hassle and always have been greeted warmly.

We really like their products and whilst this salesman has moved to another store, we have found the others to ne just as polite and helpful to us even when we have stated that we were just browsing and would not be buying.

This review is for Wow Sight And Sound, Underwood QLD

verified email - 12 Dec 2012

I ordered a DVD for my niece in Ireland. In ignorance I did not know about regions. My brother told me that the DVD would need to be region 2 or they would not be able to play it. I called emailed Wow sight and sound a couple if days after my order and explained the situation.

They told me they only had region 4 dvds for the item I wanted and offered me a full refund.

I took the refund very gratefully.

With the great prices they offer and courteous service like this I will be back very soon.

Approximate cost: $14
