This is a great winery, which is beautiful on a sunny day. There is a great outdoor area and also a covered in piazza area. There is also a restaurant which I haven't been to but I have heard is very nice. The food is lovely and the cellar door people are really friendly. They have really nice wines and nice olive oil tastings.

I generally don't need much dental work done so my requirements are very basic, but I have always found him to do a great job and a really friendly person as well.

This review is for Sew Quick, Hampton VIC

I'm not much good at sewing so any alterations or mending that I have I take here. They do a great job and have a quick turnaround. The cost is reasonable as well. The staff are very friendly as well. Usually easy to get a park as they are in the Hampton Village.

This review is for Ferrari Wedding Gown Cleaners, Moorabbin VIC

I have never had a wedding dress cleaned here, however they do other types of dry cleaning as well. I always get my nice 'dressy' dresses cleaned here and they do an exceptional job. It costs about $45 for a dress which sounds expensive but it is worth paying that much as they really look after the garment and manage to get any marks/stains out without runing the fabric. Plus if the dress is worth hundreds of dollars then it is not really too much to pay. They also do a good job of your everyday dry cleaning.

This review is for Arco Cafe Restaurant & Bar, Heatherton VIC

This is situated near my work and we often go there at lunchtime for a quick lunch in the cafe section or the restaurant section at the back does more upmarket meals. The restaurant section also has a great deal at lunchtime of 2 courses plus a drink for $25. This place is a bit diffcult to find and probably best suited to people who work in the area. Also does takeaway meals as well.

This review is for Thai Saffron, Brighton VIC

verified email - 02 Jul 2007

The food here is sensational, the best Thai I have found. The food is reasonably priced and works out to be very reasonable if you go as a group and share a few dishes. It can get very crowded with not a lot of room to move and tables tend to be very close together. If you can get a table upstairs then there is a bit more room and it is also less noisy upstairs. I would recommend booking to ensure you get a table.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Barbalu's Pizza & Pasta, Sandringham VIC

This is more take away than a restaurant. There are couple of tables inside and on the footpath where you can eat, but I have only ever had take away. Reasonably priced and nice food. They have a range of gourmet pizzas as well as your standard pizzas. They also have a good range of pasta dishes as well. The takeaway service is pretty quick, generally I phone the order through and then go and pick it up.

Lee is a great hairdresser, she is not expensive and does a great job. Having lived interstate before I know how hard it is to find a good hairdresser and I was happy when I came back knowing I could come here again and know what to expect.

Approximate cost: $120

This review is for Il Forno Pizza & Pasta, Hampton VIC

Really nice meals. The menu doesn't change much, but they do have daily specials. Really nice pasta and pizza and also a great range of other non-Italian dishes as well. Really good service and the affogato for dessert is the best I've ever had! Not open Mondays.

Approximate cost: $20
