I read about this place on WOMOW so I thought we'd check it out with the kids one night. I'm not sure what everyone is raving about to be honest. Yes the food is pretty cheap but you get what you pay for. Essentially you can choose from Pizza, Pasta or deep-fried anything else e.g schnitzel, calamari etc. Not much different to a La Porchetta

Approximate cost: $15

We needed our office windows tinted so I called up and spoke to Rick (the owner) and he quickly organised someone to come out and install the tinting. The guy was very professional and was in and out in about 2 hours.

Approximate cost: $1100

We went with some friends to have Yum Cha this morning. We are not big Yum Cha eaters but they go here all the time. The food was very impressive and it came thick and fast. Great prawn dumplings, seaweed salad, calamari the list goes on. We had 5 kids between our families and even though it's a well presented restaurant they didn't mind our kids creating a bit of a ruckus.

Approximate cost: $25 per person

We were recommended this place by a neighbour. It's a small italian/pizza place but the food is quite good and the prices are reasonable. The meat lovers pizza is worth a try, and I tried the Eye fillet steak recently and it was well cooked and very tasty. The restaurant is small but it's kid friendly.

Approximate cost: $15

We had read all the good ratings on WOMOW and decided to check it out ourselves. The restaurant is very non-descript and don't expect any fancy decor.

We thought we would order a large range of different dishes between the 4 of us to get a real feel for it. I have to say that every single dish we ordered was delicious!! We had Sushi, Sashimi and California rolls (these are not like the dry boring ones you get at a shopping centre). We then had Tempura Prawns (yum) followed by a beef salad with sesame dressing that was extremely tasty. We then had some Gyu Don (beef) and Teriyaki Don (chicken).

We had definitely over-ordered but we ate every last bit because it was so nice, and the food worked out to less than $20 per head - amazing! Then they offered us some free (that's right free!) vanilla and green-tea ice-cream, some seasonal fruit and a bowl of lollies. Such a rare thing to be given something for free these days.

More restaurants should learn from these guys, that a lot of goodwill can be gained by giving something that doesn't cost you much away for free. We will be taking our kids back with us next time cos it seems to be very family friendly. You would be wise to book because it was practically full on a Wednesday night.

Approximate cost: $10

We had Lee paint the rear paling fence of our property. He came out and quoted within a couple of days and was able to do the job the following week. He and his offsider were very pleasant at all times and did a fast and professional job at a good price.

Approximate cost: $350

I needed a roadworthy for my car I was selling and I found ADM on WOMOW. I contacted them and they booked me in for the next day. Roadworthy was a very smooth process with no items needing fixing (car was only 5 years old but some mechanics will still try to hit you up for a new windscreen or something).

Approximate cost: $80

Rossini is a great little Italian Restaurant with great food. We had dinner with some friends and all of our kids, I think it was family hour because there were kids at every table. The decor in the front section slightly lets this place down but the food makes up for it. The meals are slightly on the expensive side but Pizza's are good value.

Approximate cost: $20

We have just sold our house through this Woodards office. We asked agents from a number of different companies to come and see us. Michael Zakhem from Woodards came out and met with us and came across as being very genuine, whereas most of the agents from competing companies were real "sales people". I was unsure whether we should go with a more pushy agent but I'm glad we went with Woodards.

Michael kept us very informed during the 4 week campaign explaining who the interested parties were and what their concerns were. When auction day came, we probably got the best result we could have given the sluggish market in Melbourne right now.

At all times during our dealings with Woodards Bentleigh, they were very professional and I would highly recommend deailing with them.

A few of our ridge capping tiles came loose after the recent high winds in Melbourne. After booking Jims Roofing and waiting for them on 3 separate days (didn't show up on any of them) I decided to call Bay Roofing. Lyell was on a job on the other side of town yet he made an effort to drop in to our place on his way home.

He was initially only going to check it out and come back the next day to fix it (was starting to get dark) but he decided to fix it on the spot. Jims had quoted anywhere from $100 - $180 over the phone and Lyell did it for $40!!

Whilst he was up there he noticed the cement used by the builder wasn't mixed properly which was why the tiles have come loose. Another issue for us to take up with our builder!!

Approximate cost: $40
