We have used WHK Day Neilson for over a year and have found them to be helpful, accurate and attentive. Their account leads are always happy to visit and discuss your accounts and provide a valued opinion. We use them for personal and business accounting services and have nothing but praise for their work.

This review is for Brown Cow, Hampton VIC

The seating inside is cramped but cosy next to the real fire in the Winter. The seating outside is what sets the place apart with a large, decked, covered area with plently of seating within a short walk from Hampton Beach. The food is generic, but well prepared and the service is rapid and friendly.

Approximate cost: $20

A regular lunchtime haunt for our family for both take out and eat in Noodles and Rice dishes. The Nasi Goreng is perfect, the best I have had outside of Malaysia. The "Hot Wok" Noodle dish is served with soft flat rice noodles and has a mouth watering spicy taste. A great joint

This review is for Volcano Joes, Burwood VIC

verified email - 06 Mar 2008

We have visited Volcano Joes buffet restaurant on five occasions. The children love the games room and the adults love that the children love the games room. It's a glass walled area with several PCs which the children play on with headphones. As a result there are lots of very content parents eating from the high quality and well stocked buffet stations. Most recently we hosted a families party there for ~45 people. The group was easily catered for and all those who came swore they would return. Five Stars for a great value family night out!

We have used VBS about 15 times so far and have always found them to be professional, friendly and highly competent. We have never had any complaint and the rates are very good. We even have our own regular who bought our children Christmas presents !

This review is for Telstra BigPond, Sydney NSW

We have a 30Mbps 60GB Cable Extreme account with BigPond and have been highly impressed with the speed and availability since it was connected. The service has had three brief outages, two of which were apparently random, and an engineer was on-site within 24 hours to rectify the fault.

The Jazz on a Sunday is a great accompaniment to the eclectic menu. Well worth a visit and we recommend the quieter comfy sofa tables around the side.

This review is for Automatic Cafe, Southbank VIC

We have been here about six times in the last year. It's a great place to grab a bite and a beer before an evening out or to take the kids at lunchtime. The pizza's are pretty good and the rest of the menu is pretty staple but well prepared.

This review is for Greco European Grill, Southbank VIC

verified email - 06 Mar 2008

While this place seems to get most of its traffic from cake lovers, the restaurant is always a buzz with clients. Which is surprising given the staff's total lack of interest in serving anyone. 30 minutes to order a drink once seated outside, a further 45 minutes to get the entrées and a further 30 minutes for the main course. The steaks were mediocre at best and not what we had been led to expect from this place. Not a great first impression.

This review is for Madras Banyan Tree, Hampton East VIC

verified email - 06 Mar 2008

We attended this place after visiting several in the area and had just about given up on getting a decent Indian curry. I was impressed by the general standard of the dishes, but the Thali's were excellent. The quality of the spices used was well above par and the flavours they managed to conjour up took me by surprise.The best I have had since the Ravi Shankar in Drummond Street, London. If you like your curry hot, which you should, then just ask (seems to be the trick here) and they will do as you wish.

Approximate cost: $15
