This review is for Degani Bakery Cafe, Frankston VIC

verified email - 05 Jun 2010

I have had lunch and/or cake and tea/coffee maybe 4 times in the last year and have really enjoyed it. The service is quite fast so your tea/coffee doesn't get cold while you wait on your food. Also as a tea drinker I love to get a proper little teapot and cup! Location is great - lovely to look out over the "bridge" and see people walking by doing their shopping. This Degani Cafe is miles better than the Degani Cafe at Karingal - stay away from that one - very poor service and very noisy. 9/10 for the Degani Cafe at Franskton.

I ordered Shutters from Vista Frankston and paid our deposit on 8 Feb 2010. The Sales person was very good - patient and informative. The shutters were supposed to have taken approx 6 weeks but when 6 weeks came and went, and there was no phone call, I chased up our order at the Franskton office. The customer service I experienced there was cheery but incredibly vague - and that was when my phone call was actually returned! I paintently waited for the shutters to arrive (we got a great price and I didn't want to go elsewhere) and now they are here! Just installed today. 4 months was a long time to wait but the wait was worth it - the shutters are fabulous. Gold star to Audi, the guy who measured up the windows and installed them. I would certainely recommend shutters from Vista as long as the price was right and they promised you that Audi would measure and install.

This review is for Flakey Jake's Fish & Chips, Frankston VIC

I know Flakey Jakes are under new management but I am not sure when that happened - all I know is that I have gotten fish and chips there a number of times since October 2009 and they are always gorgeous! Nothing better after a tiring day of renovation! The guys (all brothers) work there day and night and provide great service. The food is consistently good. I only ever get chips and king george whiting which is crumbed and grilled.

Approximate cost: $8

This review is for Specsavers, Frankston VIC

I was looking for a pair of glasses for months and getting so fed up because I couldn't find a pair I liked. I went into Specsavers out of desperation (I have been avoiding the budget glasses shops after being told of really bad service at OPSM) and found a pair I actually liked. I decided not to go with the 2 for 1 option and my single pair of glasses came to only $185 - way cheaper than other glasses I have bought over the years, and with my health insurance they were only $65!! They were ready for collection in only 3 days and the staff were nice and patient, double checking that the lenses were the same as the prescription, fitting correctly etc.
I will definitely be going back then I need new glasses again. Budget price but still with excellent service.

Approximate cost: $65 - after heath insurance for 1 pair.

This review is for Curry Town, Carrum Downs VIC

This Indian restaurant is well worth the drive from Frankston, where I live. I have eaten there 3 times and had food delivered 3 times in the past year and the food is consistently good. The service when eating in is wonderful and has definately become a little faster in the last few months, as it was a little slow in the beginning.
