My usual hairdresser was great and then she went on maternity leave. Had another girl do my hair. I wanted to go from blonde to dark blonde with no copper or red tones. I ended up getting dark BROWN with red copper tones!!!! She also didnt put the colour properly and had to put a semi permanent over it and a toner. What a disaster. She did not acknowledge her mistake, told me that it looked beautiful and I did pay full price for a service I was not happy with. I cannot rate it based on just this hairdressers bad work, as my first regular hairdresser that I was going to for 2 years was great. However I will not go back there now.

We had my husbands 30th birthday here. Had the outdoor summer bbq for 40 people. Everything was magnificent, the fresh food, the atmosphere, the friendly and always topping up our glasses staff. The staff did everything they could to make our event as smooth as possible. Everyone loved it and had a ball. They have an outdoor marquee set up and it was so beautiful.
Stopped in here for a quick lunch, thought the menu looked ok with a large variety and the place was packed with people. When we got the food, I dont know how so many people still go to this place. The servings are large and the quality is horrid. I got the grilled vegie pizza but there was way too many toppings and it doesnt look appetizing. It actually looked like someone vomited on the pizza.
I would never go back!
Great pizza, possibly one of the best in Melbourne, nice funky interior decor. Service was ok, good have been quicker, but the good food makes up for it.
I have not actually tried the cafe yet, but if you are after a Nursery which stocks an awesome variety of plants that are extremely healthy and you want sound advice to go with it, then this is the place for you.
It also stocks some amazing sculptures and a beautiful gift shop with homewares among other things.
It may be more expensive than other places, but I think you get what you pay for at this place. I loved it and wanted to buy everything!
Definetly a much needed Chinese take out. The place looks modern, clean and funky. Polite service and alot of range to choose from. They do deliver if you live 5kms from Greenvale.
The food is always cooked fresh, not sitting around in a warm room. Cheap but fresh.
Mostly come here for the pizza but they also do authentic Italian starters and the best home made Tiramisu going around! The pizza has a good base, nice amount of toppings and great quality. Its also woodfired. I dont think its overpriced because you get what you pay for. There is also alot of different pizza options and a good amount of vegetarian options. Its a must try!
I have purchased fresh organic fruit and vegetables from them for years. They supply good quality and very fresh all the time. Recently I have been using their online service. I buy the Mixed box, which is handpicked seasonal fruit/vege. I order the small box which costs $40. There is plenty of good produce in here, enough for 2 for a week. Its gets delivered to my door, cant get any easier than that. So happy with this service.
My experience here is a bit of a mixed reaction. I came here for a business dinner with my husband and 2 other couples. We ate at the Chefs Table and it was $250 a head without wine.
I was expecting the food to be French cuisine. But personally I wouldnt call it that. I would call it Experimental food with French influences.
We had 10 courses and even though the meals are small, looks are decieving and you get really full by the end.
Im a very fussy eater so some of the dishes made me feel sick because of the weird textures. For example, mushroom gnocchi with grated truffles. The truffles were awesome, but the gnocchi were not traditional gnocchi. Imagine grey slimy worms, then cut one in the middle and grey juice oozes out. Didnt look very appetising to me.
I also rated the service highly, because they were great in what they did. I just didnt like how everyone looked so serious and no one had a friendly smile. Trying to be posh too hard.
And I do go to top quality restarants regularly, though this one for me would be a once off.
OUt of the six of us, half loved the food and half didnt. I think its an experience thats a must try for yourself.

This is the sister restaurant of The Press Club, but it is more of a traditional Greek food and more of a funky, casual experience. Most of the menu is designed to be shared by the table.
Our waitress was amazing, she was Greek heritage and knew what everything on the menu was and could describe in detail and also give suggestions of what we might enjoy.
We got for starters, marinated olives, tzakitki dip with wood fired bread, saganaki cheese with caramelized spiced figs, and some plain rye bread they give to every table at the start. This was plenty for a starter for two.
For main I had grilled prawns, in which you can choose how many you like as it is $3.50 per prawn. They had a wonderful lemon/Herb marinade on them. My husband had the special lamb spit which comes with fantastic wood fired potato chips - very very good!
Everything is cooked on the grill and all very fresh tasting. There is heaps to choose from and good choices for vegetarians.
For dessert we shared a plate of the Greek donuts with honey, pistachios and cinnamon - definitely recommend! And one plate was enough for two.Yum. Also had a few glasses of wine and it came to about $60 each. We were so full at the end and were rolling out of there very happy.
