Nicole specialises in conception and fertility and we starting receiving treatment from her after recommendations from two friends. In addition to providing holistic treatment, Nicole is a fountain of knowledge in these areas and provided far better information and advice than I had received from any of the medical practitioners I had been seeing. My partner has a scientific background and was a little sceptical before our visit, but came away impressed, reassured and confident in Nicole.
If you've got a pain or an ache or need a remedial massage and you're in Melbourne city, I always recommend this business. I've had adjustments to my back a couple of times. It's not day-spa so just simple beds separated by curtains.
To be honest, I didn't hold out any great hopes for a hairdresser while holidaying on the Gold Coast, but was referred to Tim Millar at Gilston Four, ex-Melbourne and from such well known salons as Shibui and Efbee. The salon is gorgeous and I had one of the best cuts I've had in ages. Plus Tim was an excellent conversationalist (not the usual 'so what are you doing this weekend'). Highly recommended.

We required some PR for a female vocalist and some assistance with setting up performances in Queensland. Blackbook connected us with the right people for the performances, local media representation and even some advice on local designers.
The agency seems nimble and has great connections in the music and fashion industry.
The cost was also reasonable and we more than recovered our investment.
Never thought I'd review a dentist but after years of trying to find a good one, very pleased to have found Chris. The practice is very professional and they are very understanding if you have any phobias.
Consistently great restaurant with lovely ambience (a bit of a rarity on Acland St). The homemade pasta is always great and the wine list is fantastic. My partner loves the oven roasted chicken. The back bar has some good cocktails and appetisers.

I've been going here for years and every facial is still a special experience. Fantastic staff, well trained, lovely products, great ambience. My face always glows after their signature facial.
Approximate cost: $100
Fantastic coffee while you drool over the handmade chocolates. My partner loves the pastries and he is French and fussy! Lovely sandwiches, quiches and danishes.
Approximate cost: $9
This is one of my favourite breakfast haunts. Great eggs and coffee. Excellent trashy mags. And friendly service. I love the fact this is directly on the tramline for morning takeaways!
Approximate cost: $13
Sorry but I have to disagree. My last two dining experiences here were really bad after previously being a regular.
The service was non-existent and my meal was tasteless with the avocado close to being off.
Such a shame because I love Mexican and there is not much on offer in St Kilda.
