I had an eye test at Fairbanks today. It was the most amazingly thorough eye test I've ever had!
All the usual stuff was done, but Peter also had me catching and throwing balls, walking up the hallway and closing my eyes for a vision/sound test.
If you have kids that need an eye test (as they all should) please make an appointment at Fairbanks. You will not be disappointed.
There was no pressure to buy "his" glasses either.
Honestly if I could take out a billboard praising this service I would!

A girlfriend and I had our nails done at this salon a couple of years ago.

The nails were great - just what we wanted.

However the service was quite disappointing. The technician was friendly enough but we could hear a couple of the other staff talking about other customers negatively. And they certainly weren't hiding the fact that they were doing it. Really put a downer on the day.

Given that they done a great job of the nails I decided to give it another go and went to the salon to make an appointment for a cut and colour. The employee that I spoke to was beyond rude. Not welcoming at all. And laughed when I asked for an appointment the following week. She said she couldn't fit me in for "weeks". I won't be returning...

We have dined at the new Lazy Moes two times since its Ballarat opening a couple of weeks ago.

The first time we took the family for a weekend breaky. The service was great, meals exceptionally reasonably priced and possibly the largest serves I have ever seen of pancakes and ice-cream.

The second time was dinner. They were busy but forgot to take our meal orders until we prompted them some time later, and then 1 of the meals was the wrong dish when served. They did rectify it pretty quickly though. And I can honestly say it was the largest parma I have ever seen.

Often with these sort of restaurants its quantity over quality - but the quality of meals on both times was pretty good. A good place to take the kids. You are made to feel very welcome and its a great environment.

The do fabulous coffee as well - including take away which is well needed for this end of town.

Approximate cost: $15ish

We ordered our wedding cake from Mark's. It was divine. Couldn't fault the service or quality. And the price was really reasonable. Much cheaper than many other wedding cake businesses that we looked at.

Looovvveee their coffee and friendly service! About time Stockland has somewhere with decent food and coffee.

Shame this kiosk style business doesn't actually have walls to block out the rest of the shoppng centre.

I haven't been to a chiropractor previously and after trying traditional medical treatment for an ailment unsuccessfully I thought what have I got to lose.
My experience was fantastic. Completely professional service. I wasn't rushed through the door. My chiropractor was patient and so very thorough. Very empathetic and explained everything in detail. There was also no pain involved at all.
I will certainly be returning - and by the look of the waiting room when I left - they must be doing something right.
If all else has failed for you, give it a go. You have nothing to lose.

Approximate cost: $50

As a handbag addict i love this place! While the selection isn't huge - it is stylish and fabulous! Incredibly reasonably priced as well

A nice selection of jewelery, gifts and homewares too. Its the kind of place where you find the perfect gift for your best friend.

Service is great - not pushy, but helpful and friendly.

The shop doesn't look like much from the outside but is well worth a look.

The best bbq chicken in town! The food is always fresh and delicious. Salads are so fresh. We often get the family pack - chicken and vegies.

The service is friendly. If the owner is there - its super friendly. Service can be a bit slow sometimes when they are busy, but its worth the wait.

The place is super clean as well.

I rented through this company a few years ago.

Very slack with repairs and to top it off after I had given notice that I was leaving Geoff turned up unannounced with a prospective new tenant and her small children for an inspection. She had driven from Geelong to look at the property so it really left me in a bit of a spot. If she had of been local I would have told him they weren't coming in and to give me notice of same (as required by law). We had packing boxes and stuff everywhere.

As a home owner, I would not recommend that anyone use them to either sell or lease their property.

We went to Golden City a couple of weeks ago on a busy Saturday night.

Previously I haven't been overly impressed with the service or quality of food. But on this particular night all meals ordered by our table were fabulous! Possibly the best meal I've had in Ballarat for a long time.

The service was impeccable and friendly.

The place is always noisy and perhaps a little cramped, but given the quality of meals we will def return again in the near future.
