This is where I shop now for my lingerie because they have a great customer rewards program. Every 3 months they send you a voucher which is a % of the spend you've made over that time. They sell premium international and local lingerie brands like Simone Pérèle, Berlei and Triumph as well as sleepwear, maternity garments, active wear, hosiery, support garments and swimwear.

They have excellent service and very experienced in-house fitters. They also carry a range of breast forms and prosthetic garments. They even do modifications for special requirements.

I give it 5 * because I love their happy, professional service and great range and a very good customer rewards program. Much better than the big department stores!

This review is for Beach Box Cafe, Inverloch VIC

We love it here. It's our place to go when we are in Inverloch. Cheaper than other cafe's but food just as great. When it's a long weekend there is a wait on coffee and food but fine if you're not in a hurry and you need to get in early for a table, it's not big. We love the muffins baked fresh every morning and the smoothies and juices are great. Great food and drinks for the kids too.

Yes five stars because the quality really is great, Service value too. Our 3rd visit here and it's consistantly good. They've extended into another shop and it's not surprising. We ordered .. again the Butter Chicken, the mild beef vindaloo and curried veg, (prob the weakest dish). Rotti was excellent and rice was fluffy. They are licenced too which is convenient. Such good value and our young waitress Georgie was outstanding. Fun, chatty but not too much and knew the dishes. Love it when a waitress loves her job and it shows and added to the overall great dining experience. So going back on our next Inverloch holiday.

There is a new chef. Started last December and he's great. We've been here a number of times and we love the food. I ordered the Procuitto wrapped chicken filled with camembert. Presented beautifully and tasted yumm. A friend ordered the Steak which was excellent tho sauce was a let down by the addition of (I think Gravox). Hubby ordered Atlantic Salmon, equal or above most good melbourne restaurant salmon dishes. Great country service. Love it when the owner is the waitress and asks how the meal was. The setting is great, opposite the beach. It's not big and has a great vibe. We will go back again and again. Service is terrific also the bar staff. Definately need to book on a long weekend or a Fri / Sat night.

This cafe changed hands in the past year and happily it has not lost any of the quality of food nor service although I miss the regular waiters they used to have with the previous owners. That aside I think the menu may even be better and more extensive than before. Always always love the food here, the ambiance and of course coffee are also great.

Adam has serviced our cars for a few years now and we have referred several friends who are also really happy with him. Adam is honest, reliable, reasonably priced but most of all we trust him. When replacing one of our cars we discussed models with him and he even checked out 2 we were looking at buying. Luckily as 1 of them was a lemon but the other was perfect and 3 years later still is. Excellent service. Would not go anywhere else.

This review is for Hu Tong Dumpling Bar, Prahran VIC

We just love Hu Tong. Both Prahran and city restaurants though the city loc'n seems to have menu items the Prahran restaurant doesn't have. We love how the waiter orders for us and listens to what we love. Service is great though once had a waiter with a touch of attitude. Dumplings are excellent bar none. Peking duck is delicious. Have taken a japanese family visiting from Osaka and they said it was by far the best Chinese restaurant they'd ever been to. Love the sharing plates. Can't wait to go again.

A friend suggested we should try this place. I checked out the urbane spoon reviews and decided to book. As the reviews noted, even with a booking you still may have to wait and so we did but we were warned so no problems. Was so worth the wait. I've had good pizza but this is place is a definate standout. Loved everything we ate and value was great too. Atmosphere was also terrific. My new fav dining place. Just be prepared to wait and good luck with parking.

This review is for Spot Caffeteria, Caulfield North VIC

Had been a regular every saturday morning some years ago with a group after gym. Had breakfast here recently and was surprised/dissapointed at how much the standards had dropped. Ordered cinamon toast with ricotta cream similar to what I'd ordered years before. Was very average. Hubby's scrambled eggs were average and bacon was bland. How do you get bland flavoured bacon?? Son's pancakes were also very average. Was dissapointed and surprised at how it was all so lacking in flavour. Would think at least one meal was a winner but was not the case. Although they were quiet service was very slow. Coffee though, was great. So many excellent cafe's in this area so shame The Spot is not up to the others standards.
