We signed up with this business for home delivery of milk and bread when it was just starting out. Once a week Aussie Farmers delivered our goods to our front door before we were up in the morning in their supplied cooler bag. We even added on a delivery of eggs and cream to alternate fortnightly with our milk and bread order. All dealings we had with this company were excellent. The quality of the food was excellent. When we stopped using them they were also branching out to incude fresh fruit and veg delivery. Sadly being a house of two we found we were having trouble getting through our weekly order as our work schedule can be busy and we occasionally eat out. For a family this would be great and I would definately use again in the future and recommend to others.

We like to call Natalies our place for special occasions, though there is no specific requirement for the night to be special - anytime is fine! We find the service to be outstanding and the staff friendly. On Friday and Saturday nights they have a pianist which makes for a great atmosphere. Love the complimentary warm loaf of bread and butter - so think twice about ordering garlic bread to start. It's just a really nice dining experience. The food is good and if you have an 'Enterainment Guide' you can get buy-one-get-one-free. Good idea to book a table so you don't miss out.

Coco Lounge used to be our favorite breakfast place. We feel the service and quality of food has somewhat gone downhill though in recent times. The menu is great, affordable, excellent atmosphere - big fan of the stool seats at the window. Great place to read the paper and kick back on the weekends. In recent visits we feel the service has declined and we have waited some time for our food and to make an order. The food portions have also gotten smaller and the quality of food on our last visit was not the best given the 'extras' on the breaky menu can be pricey. Still a great venue for coffee - the cakes look good as well. Not a lot of seats and i'm not aware they take bookings so be prepared to wait or get in early for meals. What started out as a great regular experience has left us a bit sad really.

My boyfriend and brother are obsessed with Trampoline so I go there a lot. Having tried other flavours I have resolved to keep getting the vanilla bean and strawberry which I find excellent. I think the vanilla has won awards? It's good gelato and the smallest of the cup sizes is deceptively filling. I am a regular at Vegie Bar and this particular Trampoline is virtually across the road so that covers dessert!

Ok, I have not adopted a cat from Ingrid yet because I am renting, but as soon as I am a home-owner I will be there! Ingrid has huge support from people across Australia who have adopted her cats/kittens and from sponsors who help her keep doing the great job she does. I found Ingrid via an article in a magazine and went straight to the web. After reading all I could I jumped on the bandwagon, sponsored a cat and I am now trying as much as I can to help her cause. Anyone who is an animal lover, especially in this case of cats, could only be inspired by her.

All her cats/kittens are desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and flea treated. Ingrid lives with the cats and knowing their personalities can help them find the most suitable home to fit in with your lifestyle. Better and more personal than any pet store I can think of.

I am still renting but recently convinced our landlord to grant us permission to adopt a cat. Finally! Ingrid and the Haven were outstanding. The cats are so lucky to have her and we are grateful every day for our new family member (couldn't imagine a life without him now). I have never met a more inspirational or compassionate woman as Ingrid and the Haven is second to none.

Timeout is in a good spot and has a good menu and good food and coffee but on the 3-4 times I have visited I found the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. On more than one occasion I have not got my glass of water when others have ordered for paying drinks. The staff are unaccommodating to requests. Service in general, to me, just isn't up to scratch which I find off-putting. We also had breakfast with a group once - definately not one of the better breakfasts I've had. Cakes though are nice.

Really poor experience with this place recently. Granted I have only had one visit, but I would not go back. Great idea - cheap burgers, good location. Customer service was terrible - when I asked for a glass of water (rather than paying for a beer or other) it seemed like an awful effort for them. HUGE wait for our food. Whilst waiting for our own order others were being told the wait would be up to 40 minutes at one point - this was AFTER the customers were paying. For a take-away burger I find that insane. And rather than the staff apologising for the wait they simply said their burgers were the best and they had a lot of love to put in them or something. They do have a restaurant/grill on the other side which may have been holding up the take-away but that's no excuse. Great prices, but not worth the wait, I have had better from a burger van. I wouldn't recommend and I wont go back.

Excellent experience with this place - I have had more fillings than I care to share! Chris Hem is a really nice guy who makes you feel completely at ease. Sarina, the receptionist, is also super friendly, she always remembers you and asks how things are going. No complaints about the quality - never a pleasure to go to the Dentist but great customer service and a gentle hand make the visit a lot easier. Prices are ok - I haven't been to many dentists to compare, but if I found cheaper, I would not change anyway.

We have been to Eddie Wongs 3-4 times. Can't go past the 'Mr. Wong noodles' (which they will also make vegetarian on request). Lots of kinds of noodles mixed with all kinds of vegies and meat. It's fantastic - I wish it were closer to home. Their menu also covers appetisers, rice, soup and curry dishes.

Best burgers ever. Grill'd has locations across Melbourne so look them up for one close to home. We were very excited when they opened at Knox having previously travelled to Hawthorn to eat there. They have a great selection of burgers - I am so obsessed with the 'Garden Goodness' (plus egg) I have never tried anything else. Alas I do not go alone and everyone I have been with who have sampled much of the menu also agree about the quality and choice of burgers. The chips are honestly the BEST (snack size feeds two of us). Prices are great too. We go here a lot, I love it.
