This review is for Einstein's Bar-Bistro, Burwood VIC

The quality of the food is great and it's really good value but the vibe is lacking. They don't really have anything to attract students in. It's a real shame as the place has potential. The staff are great and really friendly. Dusa members also receive a discount of 10% when they present their card. They've got a fairly good selection of spirits. It's just a shame the vibe is non existent. It has no atmosphere

Approximate cost: $12-15

This review is for The Sage Restaurant, Burwood VIC

verified email - 10 Jan 2013

I was impressed with this restaurant. Well cooked steak, tasty salads, reasonable choice of wine (for a university). This one is tucked right to the very back of the campus behind Caffeine. It's a nice setting. Nothing too flash but the highest quality of food by a long shot, on campus. I have and will recommend this further and will certainly be back.

Approximate cost: $15-20

This review is for Shu Valu, Maroochydore QLD

I have shopped here since I was a child (25 years). I remember purchasing gumboots as a toddler from here, school shoes and then work shoes. The same staff have been there for years and its a family run business with many members of the same family working there. Huge range of school, work, sport, dance, dress and casual shoes. Their specialty is work shoes and school shoes. Reasonably priced, great service, great business.

I purchased my car here in 2010. A black Mitsubishi Aspire. We planned to buy a ute but had received unsatisfactory service from both Holden and ford. My husband (then fionce) decided to stop at Mitsubishi to show me the kind of cars we'd buy once we had a family. He showed me the aspire and all of a sudden the salesman had us going for a test drive. The car drove beautifully, looked great, sounded great and the tip tonic feature was a winner. It also had built in GPS, leather seats, chrome handles, a true luxury vehicle. We looked at the price sticker and it was beyond our finances and we were sold on the ute. We through a figure out (35k) that was far below the sticker price expecting him to give up. Instead, he went and spoke to his manager. The sticker read 42k, he offered us 39 at first, we refused. He dropped the price 500 at a time and just when we were about to leave offered it to us for $36500. We were sold. The sale took a long time and we'd been in the office for five hours by the time we left.
We received a welcome pack with our car with a rewards book, 5 years cover for Australia wide on-road service acquet,racv ect)as well as a discount booklet and a few other bonuses.
The car is running beautifully and it was very lucky we didn't get the ute as twelve months later we had a baby :) a family car was certainly necessary.

Approximate cost: $36500

This review is for Hog's Breath Cafe, Wantirna South VIC

verified email - 10 Jan 2013

I haven't been impressed with this Hogs Breath. I've been here twice now and both times weren't satisfactory and I felt disgruntled when it came to paying the very high bill. The steak wasn't cooked to my request and I got a very bad iced of meat. The waitress was hopeless and I felt like she was hiding from me after I complained about the steak. There really is no value here and the restaurant atmosphere is lacking, unlike other hogs breath cafes

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for Myer, Knoxfield VIC

I really love this Myer. It's not one of the largest or flashest stores but it has a great range.

I tend to shop in Cue and Review in ladies fashion. The review concesion staff are always friendly.

For my son, I frequent their children's fashion. Unfortunately je's moving up from baby sizing and it's now mpre difficult to buy as they don't stock much past size two in boys. Their baby section is large however.

I also keep an eye on sales upstairs in homewares. They can have some great sales and in this section, I find there to be the very best and most helpful staff.

I used to purchase all my make-up and skin care products from myer but it has become far too costly. I just can't fathom paying double the price, despite the service being great. I now buy these things online as I know my colours.

This review is for Forever New, Ringwood VIC

verified email - 10 Jan 2013

I truly love Forever New. They have beautiful in season fashions at reasonable prices. Ringwoods store isn't as big and flashy as some others, but the staff are nice and they have a great range of sizes in their sale section (which I frequent).

They also cater to sizes 4-16 and usually have plenty of 4's left over. The styles suit all different frames and a wide variety of ages.

This review is for Caffeine, Burwood VIC

verified email - 10 Jan 2013

Caffeine is just aboit the top spot on Campus. It has a well equipped computer lab stretching back meaning you can study and drink coffee/have lunch during break periods with ease. The staff are also extremely friendly. The coffees are the best you'll find on campus but still nothing fantastic. The food is also average. Tje stuff in the cabinets is best avoided. If you're going to eat, order something from the back. The grilled chicken salad has been my meal of choice

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for McMahons Restaurant, Brisbane QLD

We came here on a voucher for High tea. We enjoyed a g'ass pf wine each, sandwiches, scones, quiches and delicious dessert with a choice of tea's. There wasn't a huge range of tea's on tje menu and certainly nothing exotic. It wasn't the nicest high tea I've been too but still very respectable. I would certainly recommend it

This review is for Pashas, Collingwood VIC

We came here after purchasing a voucher and were pleasantly surprised. It was a huge banquet plus wine. There was meant to be a choice but we forgot to ask and were given a bit of a mix of our mains.

beautiful dips, turkish bread, mezze platter and lots more. We also got a dessert platter with turkish delight, baklava, turkish coffee and some beautiful turkish fairy floss.
