Wow what a yummy take away Thai! We ordered satay skewers, pad thai, roti and sweet and sour pork. Overall the meal was good. My husband did not enjoy his pork ( i did not eat any) he said it was quite dry, but I thoroughly enjoyed all of my meal!

My sister and I took our Mum here for her birthday this year. We found it to be a very disappointing experience. Firstly we were only offered the option of one table (apparently you have to reserve a particular table these days!!??) The service was very ordinary, we were not offered desserts and no one came back around to offer coffees either. When my dessert did arrive it looked as though a child had taken a big bite out of the side of the tart. Drinks were only asked once, for the entire lunch and even then we had to wait 10 mins for them to arrive at the table.
At the time we were there, there was no water in the entire facility and no apologies were made, I under stand this was out of their control, but no attempt was made to even put a sign on the toilets!

We took the kids here last weekend for a family play swim. The pool was very clean, and it was not too busy considering it was on a Sunday. Prices are not too bad, and the kids pool is really good. When the fountains come on all the kids get really excited!

My husband was heading off to Germany for a couple of weeks and we decided to try this little cafe that is quite close to us (as time was short, and 2 noisy kids in tow) for some lunch before he headed off. Typed in cafe, in womow and this little gem popped up!
I booked just to be sure, lucky I did as they were quite busy for a Saturday lunch.
The coffee was the best I have ever had (working out my next visit to there already!) and the roast pumpkin sandwich was delish!
Great big table in the back which would be ideal if you were meeting several mates. Otherwise a nice little cafe, with good service and great coffee.
PS Easy to get a pram in and around!

Approximate cost: $14 for sandwich

This review is for Sandton Hair Gallery, Warrandyte VIC

I phoned this salon to make a follow up hair appointment since my last visit. This time however I was very disappointed.
I never got any further than the phone call, as I was left feeling very disheartened.
I phoned to see the possibility of an appointment on a Saturday and as they were fully booked they suggested the waiting list. I thought this was a great idea in case something did come up. However, when I tried to ask to make an alternate appointment (just in case nothing came up from the waiting list) the staff member just... hung up on me. (After saying goodbye as I kept interrupting)
I was left stuttering and still chatting to no-one on the other end of the line.

Customer service is imperative in such a work environment like hairdressing. I have never known a salon to only offer a waiting list spot without trying to ensure and secure an actual appointment.
I have never found anyone else' phone manner to be as rude as hers in all of my experiences (telemarketers included!)

After my first positive experience I suggested this salon to a friend who phoned up straight away to have her hair coloured. As I, she too was charged more than what was said on the phone to her and the colour she asked for came out wrong. Fortunately they did spend the time to correct it for her.
Perhaps these guys are getting too busy with all of this positive feedback to help their customers 100 %.

I have had many lunches here when I travel here for work. The food is great and quick to come out. They do scrumptious sandwiches, extremely filling, and great milkshakes too! You can enjoy your meal inside or outside in the sun. Try the chicken caesar, it wont disappoint!

Approximate cost: $@$15

This is one of my favorite cafe/bakeries! Nothing better than on a good day driving up to Marysville and enjoying a delish lunch! They have a HUGE range, including all your pastries and cakes, breakfast menu and lunch too! There are plenty of seats to sit and enjoy what the gorgeous town has to offer! They survived the fires and could really do with your business!

We stopped here for a cuppa and really enjoyed it. My daughter enjoyed a milkshake too! They have a great range of gluten free and vegetarian foods too!

This review is for Dr Shahriyar Khosrowpanah, Forest Hill VIC

verified email - 23 Jul 2010

Dr Panah was there for my second child's arrival. I found him to be very friendly and polite, although I was not so confident in him when he checked over my child and repeated himself several times. This left me feeling confused and unsure over the consultation.
However, he did come back and check on my baby, and I appreciated the follow up.

Approximate cost: $100 Gap

This review is for Dr Nia Ehsani, Forest Hill VIC

Nia delivered my second baby at Mitcham Private, when my OB was on annual leave. I found her to be friendly upon this first meeting, she was encouraging, optimistic and gave me strength and confidence.
Although we only met on delivery, I would definitely consider any subsequent pregnancy's with her upon another consultation.
