I was very pleased to take up a free 3 day trial with the gym. I found the equipment and all amenities to be top rate. Also the reception, marketing and gym training staff were all terrific. But it is expensive. However, such a good impression did they make, that this is where I will join as soon as money permits

Approximate cost: $a lot

This review is for Infusion Cafe, Wantirna South VIC

I have had a few very enjoyable coffees over many months at Infusion but this morning I had one of the best breakfasts ever. A simple scrambled eggs on toast was presented and tasted just beautiful. And they give you a dollar off an accompanying coffee. Too Good!

This review is for Quickflix, North Sydney NSW

Quickflix are one of many online DVD rental websites. The free trial I was offered all seemed great. The movies came and were good quality and there is an efficient way of sending them back. As long as they have enough movies you haven't seen this is a good service. However, what I have found is that they have charged my credit card during the free period. Their customer service are quite smug about too, claiming somehow I made the mistake. Unlikely I would misunderstand a free offer. So very disappointing to see such unscrupulous marketing with a really good product.

Approximate cost: $20/mth

I love these guys. Sometimes you have sound problems. I really needed help. They were great. They took back all my faulty leads and replaced them with top quality ones for just the cost of the difference even though I bought the leads last December. I really appreciate that sort of customer service and value. Top marks!!

This review is for Madeline's At Jells, Wheelers Hill VIC

What a lovely venue inside Jells Park. The waitress and host was just lovely and the meal came quickly with pleasant smiles abounding. I thought the food was above average for quality and certainly out meals were good value although I felt generally the menu looked expensive. Very peaceful looking out to the lake.

Approximate cost: $10-15

This review is for Village Cinema (Knox Gold Class), Wantirna South VIC

My wife and I attended Gold Class to watch Salt. Great movie, great seats, good service but we thought the food was just very average for the over inflated prices charged. There were 4 desserts all about $15 each. My dessert was just ok. A bit bland. My chai latte tasted nice but was so small. Overall we just don't think Gold class is worth what they are asking. We felt a bit ripped off!!

I am only really commenting about their clothing repair service. I have taken a number of items to be altered or repaired and I can report that on every occasion the work was completed quickly and well. This has been a cheap way of getting more life from the clothes I have.

This review is for Donvale Flower Gallery, Doncaster East VIC

This is a lovely experience just to enter this florist. It has a feel of absolute elegance. The flowers and the silk arrangements and accessories are all top class. And of course the prices reflect that quality. The people who serve you all seem to have excellent taste and just know how to sell their products. If the event is special then this is the place to go

Approximate cost: $60-90

This review is for Salsa's, Doncaster VIC

This food court mexican take-away makes a terrific Baja Steak bowl. The quality, freshness and flavours are exceptional. All Doncaster food court places are bit more pricey than other places in my opinion. One good thing about Salsa's is that for some unknown reason to me it is not nearly as busy as other shops so you get served quickly and the food generally comes with in a few minutes of ordering. This is truly great Fresh Tex food.

Approximate cost: $9.95

This review is for Grill'd, Doncaster VIC

verified email - 04 Sep 2010

I have eaten a Grills several times. I think the thick chips and herb mayo is exceptional. I also think the burgers are much better than you average burger. However, having taken my 9 year old daughter, she much preferred a Macca's burger because even the simplest Grilled burger was too rick for her and messy. It is expensive but very very nice

Approximate cost: $10.90
