It was really pleasant walking into this medical centre. The reception staff are super friendly. After only having been in once I had to get a tetanus injection and the nursing staff were wonderful, they told me to come in straight away and they'd fit me in (even though there was a 3 day waiting list) A modern day practice with great values.

This review is for Tri-alliance, Melbourne VIC

If you're thinking of doing a triathlon, Tri-alliance are the team to train with. They are experienced, friendly and give hands on instructions on how to improve your technique in the transitions and in each discipline

It's great value for money so try them even if you just want a group of people to train with. For $25 per week you can attend 3 sessions or for $35 you can attend as many sessions as you want. They have a morning and evening sessions each day of the week. Just pick a time and location that suits you.

Approximate cost: $25 per week

This review is for La Camera, Southbank VIC

Their Lunch time special on Mon - Thurs is fantastic. We had a "fun" start when they seated half our party at a booth on one side of the restaurant and the rest of us who arrived later were seated at a table on the opposite of the restaurant.

Once we joined the booth, it took a long time for our order to be taken, but our food came out quickly, was really tasty and great value for money. I ordered a parmigiana which on the lunch special comes with a complimentary glass of wine or post-mix for $15 and I couldn't finish it.

Approximate cost: $15

From the time they start their grills for lunch the amazing aroma of grilling steak wafts across the road tempting you to go in. The quality and taste of the food more than lives up to the expectation.

You can either eat in the dining room and order from the full menu (a bit exxy but well worth it) otherwise at lunch you can order from the bar menu at around $10 - $18

My colleagues and I regularly have their bar specials for lunch and enjoy their happy hour, half price drinks from 5 - 6pm.

Their bar staff is really friendly and make the most delicious cocktails.

Approximate cost: $25 - $50

This review is for Gharana Indian & Pakistani Restaurant, Albert Park VIC

The waiter was really friendly, and the food was the best Indian I have had since moving to Melbourne. The ambiance and decor make you feel like you're in India.

We had a lovely evening.

The staff are really friendly and helpful and Harold is always good at answering my questions and explaining.

I swapped to Contacts 10 months ago and it took several tries to find a brand that fitted just right. Harold saw me 4 or 5 times until we found the right brand and prescription.

Approximate cost: $150

This review is for Waves On The Beach, Frankston VIC

verified email - 26 May 2010

This restaurant is aptly named as it "Waves on the Beach" As it is literally on the beach. Fantastic location with great views.

The service is somewhat hit & miss and the food is alright, so for a reasonable priced evening with a great atmosphere head down to Waves.

Approximate cost: $18

They massage the muscles in your back and do adjustments if required. They recommend exercises to help strengthen the weaker areas.

I always walk away feeling renewed.

This review is for Think Chiropractic, Melbourne VIC

Think Chiropractic practices the Gonstead Chiropractic technique. Before manipulating any bones they took a full back X-Ray and reviewed my case history. Each time I go in, they check and feel my whole back before making adjustments to the affected areas.

Approximate cost: $45

This review is for Chumba Concept Salon, Windsor VIC

verified email - 26 May 2010

From the moment I walk through the door I get star treatment. The stylist spends time finding out what I want then I'm whisked away for a relaxing wash and head rub before the styling begins.

The cut is really great and the style lasts for ages.

Approximate cost: $70 - 100
