There are many businesses on womow who have multiple excellent reviews all within a very short time from reviewers with no trust rating . It is very obvious these businesses are writing these reviews themselves but womow does nothing about it, some are even members of the happy customers program. I was trying to find a good hairdresser and noticed it and also while looking for a removal service I noticed that one of their reviews was exactly the same as the ad on their web site!

We used these guys for my sons 6th birthday party with 30 kids and they were amazing. We had a disco with lights/ smoke machine/ every balloon creation possible/ face painting/ party games etc etc. The price was very reasonable and the two entertainers were pleasant, fun and really went out of their way to please the kids. My son reckons it was the best best party ever!

Fantastic food, great value, such attentive staff. I like everyone else feel that the decor isn't quiet right. I think they are aiming for a modern minimalistic look but instead its stark and uninviting. Its still one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been to.

Nothing good to report about the experience except the staff were lovely. The decor is boring, food terrible and very small servings. Really you would have a similar but better experience if you grabbed something from the foodcourt nearby.

The restaurant is down an Alleyway in what looks like an old bakery and has a nice rustic feel. However we were seated in a room off the main room which wasn't quiet as cozy as the main one. The one thing that I really disliked was that they don't have menus and I had to stand in front of someone else's table to read the board as I couldn't read it from my seat..very annoying and makes it difficult to decide and remember what to order. I didn't really like my food but my husband was impressed with his so guess it depends on what you order. The service was very good, the waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable. Overall a very average experience and I regretted going there when there are so many other better restaurants in Melbourne City and wouldn't go back.

Amazing food mainly specialise in quality/ wagu/ dry aged beef. Not a great choice for vegetarians but they do offer to speak to the chef if there is something you would like. Service was perfect. The decor is quiet simple, contemporary with mood lighting (actually seems quiet dark when you first walk in) One of the top restaurants in Melbourne.

Approximate cost: $50-60

Nice outdoor seating area, inside pretty average, food and coffee was probably above average but the service was terrible. There were two waitresses on duty who were either over worked and stressed or just miserable people. I felt as though we were just a pain and extra work that they didn't want and it was actually a relief to get out of there.

This review is for AMAX Removals & Storage, Carrum Downs VIC

I rang around and Amax provided the best per hr rate for the large truck we required. They arrived on time and worked extremely hard and I don't think it would have been possible to pack up the house and unpack it any faster. Nothing was damaged and they were very polite and helpful and asked me where I wanted boxes and furniture placed. Really the move went as smoothly as could be expected and I would use them again.

We attended the Emergency Dept early in the morning with my 2 yo. The Dept was pretty empty and we didn't have to wait long which was a relief. however I found the staff uncaring and dismissive. The triage nurse was grumpy and not at all friendly. The Dr.s appeared tired and not interested. When we were brought into the actual dept. not one member of nursing staff came near us. We had to wait to see a consultant as the other Dr.s were unable to make a diagnosis. At least he was cheerful, energetic and helpful but I could tell he was only guessing what the diagnosis was. We saw a private consultant afterward and the difference was amazing. He knew exactly what the problem was and prescribed the correct treatment. Our sons situation was urgent as he was in a lot of pain and it was rapidly getting worse but I wouldnt attend their Ed again unless it was literally a matter of life or death.

Approximate cost: $free

Love that u can book appts on line and usually easy to get one.I had highlights which I was really happy with and they lasted really well and didnt look orange/dirty within a week which usually happens. The hairdresser took a lot of time to listen to what I wanted and even rang me up after to see how my hair was doing .And the cost was very reasonable.
