I like to get a French polish done here every now and then. They do a fantastic job and it is very cheap ($15). The customer service leaves a lot to be desired but I don't mind as it is quick and cheap.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Endota Spa, Hampton VIC

I had a remedial massage here after reading a few reviews on Womow. I was after a very firm massage as I was feeling really tight. My masseur, Sharon was great. She was very firm, which is what I requested, but kept checking with me that it wasn't too firm.

It is a very relaxing environment and the minute I walked in there I felt calm. They offer you a water or herbal tea on arrival which is a nice touch

I left there feeling very relaxed.

Approximate cost: $70

This review is for Hoyts Melbourne Central (Directors Suite), Melbourne VIC

I went to Hoyts at Melbourne Central to see a movie in their Director's Suite, which is a similar concept to Gold Class. The seats recline and are very comfortable, there is a bar where you can order food and drinks to be delivered to you at any stage during the movie. Overall an enjoyable movie experience, although you wouldn't go to Director's Suite all the time as it is costly (about $35 I think).

This review is for Botanica Of Brighton Floral Design, Brighton VIC

I have received flowers from here as a gift and i also just recently purchased some to give to someone else. The flowers I received as a gift lasted a really long time, which is always a good sign.

The flowers are presented so well and wrapped really nicely, they make a great gift to give. There is also a little cafe as part of the florist as well. The cost seemed reasonable to me.

Approximate cost: $30

Beck has great range of silver jewellery for any occasion or for just everyday wear. Beck has a great eye for what looks good and has some really great suggestions. Her range is great, and she does have a few things that aren't silver. Her stuff is very reasonably priced and looks great.

Approximate cost: $Varied

This review is for Borsch, Vodka & Tears, Prahran VIC

I caught up with a few friends here for dinner and a few drinks. The food was really nice, there are so many tapas type dishes to choose from, we only had a tiny selection of the overall menu. We had a few dishes and shared them and this was a good option to choose. Would defintely like to go back there and try some other dishes.

We were there on a Friday night and it was very busy, you will need to book. It is also very noisy but that didn't bother us. Service was really good too.

Didn't actually sample any vodka - will have to do that next time!

This review is for The Greek Deli & Taverna, South Yarra VIC

The Greek Deli is a really nice authentic Greek restaurant on Chapel Street. The food is not cheap but the meals are pretty big and you always leave here feeling very full! It has a nice atmosphere and the staff are vey friendly. I have been for lunch and dinner and both have been pleasant experiences.

This review is for Parkdale Cafe, Mentone VIC

I recently tried this cafe out after seeing it on Womow. I drive past it on Beach Road regularly but never even knew it was there! We had a beatiful Tapas plate for lunch which was really nice and there was enough for two. We also had quite a few coffess and just sat back and relaxed. The atmosphere is great, there are great views of the bay, although we weren't sitting near the window. Also has a nice outdoor area as well.

This review is for Misty's 1950's Diner, Prahran VIC

Eating at Misty's made me feel like I was in America. All the food is very authentically American. Misty came to our table and chatted to us like long lost friends, she even threw in free dessert for us.

This review is for Malt, Beaumaris VIC

Nice little cafe that is always busy. I have been for breakfast and lunch and they do both very well. My pick is the pancakes for breakfast and the BLT wrap for lunch - very yummy! Good value for money and friendly staff.
