I stumbled across this place whilst I was in the area and had time to kill before picking my dog from the groomer across the road.
I ordered a latte and a bacon and egg sandwhich.
Both were extremely tasty and of very high quality.
I also love the crockery they use.
No doubt I will be back and have recommended this place to my friends and family.
I can't wait to go back until my dog gets groomed again so I'm gonna have to pop in again soon.

I was looking for a new groomer in my area for my dog who is a straight haired cavoodle.

This seemed quite stresseful as I had her booked in else where and they all of a sudden called the day before to cancel,
so I was desperately in need for a new groomer
I asked my friend who knows alot about the pet industry if she heard of this groomer and she said she had and since she heard nothing bad it should be ok to send my dog there.
I called up and I was able to get an appointment for my dog within a week.

The day of the appointment we got to the shop it was difficult to find a park in the area that was outside the shop so I parked up the sreet, not a problem parking around here, unless you park at the supermarket parking is limited to an hour.

When we arrived we were greeted nicely by the owner
The lady on the phone (the owner) was lovely and seemed to really care about animals etc so I set an appointment for my dog which I was relieved finally to find someone who I felt my dog was being left in good hands .

I asked them if they could do a certain haircut and they said they would do their best to replicate it.

They told me she would be an hour and half. She was ready when I arrived to pick her up.
She looked really great and smelled so beautiful and I had a good chat with the owner.
They said she was really behaved and they'd be happy to have her there again.
I am extremely happy with this groomer in every way.
I have booked my dog in for her next appointment already.

Very disappointed with this groomer they have lost me as a customer. Their customer service is very poor. The haircuts they give the dogs are also the worst haircuts my dogs have ever had. I do not recommend this groomer.

I have been here to dine in and have take away maybe say half a dozen or more times. The quality,menu is fairly average for a chinese restaurant so nothing unique just your regular asian fare.
The alcoholic beverages are cheaper than your average western restaurant.

What annoyed me tonight was that they got my order wrong and I didn't know until I got home and opened the container, this wouldn't have happened if the repeated my order back to me which I think is what should happen anytime you order something anywhere.
The lemon chicken was very disappointing dry and overcooked.
The icecream they use for fried ice cream is of low quality.
Overall they need improving but it's probably the same as your average suburbian chinese restaurant.

I heard about this new Aussie made dog/cat food through the shop I buy my dog food at the dogs tasted it and loved it.
So when I heard about a seminar on dog food at my groomer by this brand I went along.
Eager to meet and talk to the creator and take home some of the yummy products she makes.

She explained why she makes the food she does,what a dogs/cats diet needs to consist of and allergies that your pet may have and why the diet they eat may be causing them
thses allergies.

Indeed she uses high quality human grade ingredients with all the nutrition they need for anyone's much loved pooch or kitty.

My dogs are very keen on the dehydrated food she sells and no doubt I will be buying alot more of it as well as visiting her at her shop in Glenhuntly Rd as well as recommending her product to anyone who has a pet.

The first time I went here I came to get some pistaschio kulfi (icecream) which they make themselves. The kulfi was ok but nothing I'd return for. It suffered from freezer burn and was overly sweet and very hard.

The next time I came was for lunch I'm not very keen on spicy food but saw the $10 lunch deal and thought I give it a go.
The deal consisted of 1 or 2 curries of your choice,rice and naan bread.
I chose the lamb korma,vegie korma the vegie korma was extremely sweet and the lamb was too spicy for me but nice.
The rice and the naan were both the standouts as the naan was freshly made on the spot and the rice was tasty and cooked well.
Overall I'm not a fan of Indian cuisine so I would only return for the rice and Naan bread.

One of the best cafes I have been to. Highly recommend to all

This review is for St Katherines, Kew VIC

I have been wanting to come here for some time now and my friends birthday was coming up so we decided St Katherines would be where we celebrate and enjoy dinner together.

I was expecting it to be more formal than what it was,It was ultra casual, cuttlery in cans,bread in paper bags,chips in paper buckets.
The food and service were both good but we made the mistake of ordering the feed me menu which sounded great at the time but we would have been better off ordering a la carte.
soundouts were the salmon,ancient grain salad,patates,lamb dumplings.

Next time I'll be coming back to try the sticky pork ribs,pork belly on the spit,Slow Roasted Lamb Shoulder,patates with tarama butter,taramosalata dip, kfc,moussaka & some of their delicious desserts.
I'll be back

Birthday's in our family have become an extremely important celebration.
To celebrate we like to go out to an expensive, Fine dining retsaurant that really has the wow factor and order the degustation for everyone. (prefferably a hatted one) and this restaurant fitted the category.
After reading and seeing pictures on people's food blogs all about this retsaurant, I was really keen to recommend this place for my brother to choose as for his birthday celebration even there there was no menu on the website.

I called them up to book and to check weather or not they could cater to my mother's dietry requirments which they happily obliged to.
Because she had dietry requirments we had to pre choose the amount of courses we would be having so they could cater to her needs.
We chose 10 courses.
When we arrived we were greeted by a friendly Maitre'd and shown to our table.
Our menus were on the tables for us I was expecting my mother just to get her own catered for menu and my brother and I would get a different menu but we all had the same menu which was better than them not catering to my mother at all so we just accepted it even though because of this my brother and I's experience wasn't as amazing because elements of some dishes were missing.

Overall out of the 10 courses the first (which was the chef's signature Meli of vegetables and the 2 desserts were really amazing and blew us away there was one dish that let us down and that was the roast chicken and aligot mashed potatoes which I had heard rave reviews about the chicken was fine for a home cooked meal but nothing special and the aligot I felt wasn't the right texture or flavour.
Overall we had a very nice evening and hope to be back at some point.

I really like this frozen yoghurt place and it is very conveniently located at the Southland shopping centre near Mcdonalds,San churros,The movies, but it is too expensive.
It's great because they are low in sugar and fat.
But they taste deliciously smooth and very creamy you can add toppings or flavours to mix into it there are a big list of flavours you can mix into it which is made from some sort of syrup.
Overall it's a great but expensive summer treat.
