Answered phone promptly when I rang up. Great service here, they checked my old battery to make sure it was on the way out before they installed a new one, at a reasonably cost. Did the job within minutes, and soon had me on my way.

Can be a little noisy at times especially around the bar and pokie areas , try and get into restaurant area. Staff friendly and helpful with menu. I felt that the vegies I had with salmon, were cooked all week, but the salmon itself was lovely. Plenty on the menu to pick from. Open from breakfast to late.

Attended a ball here, and they have a great function room upstairs. 3 course meal was very nice, and considering the size of the crowd, it was hot when served. Nice size servings and the staff were friendly , and head girl kept a eye on everything, to make sure things were running smoothly. Bar staff did there job well too. Also available down stairs are meals and snacks, and the pokies. Parking pretty well at the door.

Good meals at a reasonable price, seniors meals as well as lunch specials ($9.90). Pretty quick service, and I like the way that the Kids meals are brought out very quick and not making them wait. Great playground for the kids and pokies for the rest.

A little family business, They always explain what had to be fixed on car, and what needs to be done on next service, any emergency troubles with your car and they try to fit you in as soon as possible. A great reliable business that doesnt ripe you off. And no greasy fingerprints left on car or seat.

This review is for Providore Cafe, Lake Gardens VIC

verified email - 29 May 2013

A handy little cafe in the middle of a housing estate, great for a all day breakfast, lunch, or a takeaway tea. Great pies , pasties,and cakes, baked on the premises I think. You can pick up your newspapers here to. Not far from the Lake, and plenty of parking out front. Hot drinks at about usual prices and service with a smile and pretty quick.

This Thai resturant has very delicious and fresh food, plenty of choices on the menu, from curry's , stirfries to noodles, and soup or duck dishes. Open for lunch and dinner, dine in or takeaway, and fully licensed. Staff are very friendly, and as soon as you arrive and are seated , glasses of water are served and filled up during the meal.Meals served quit quick, but that proberly depends on the time of day., and in very central part of town. Nice quiet background music.

What a great combination, bike shop and coffee shop. A lot of old memories in here, from old bike bits and pieces to old newspapers from the forty's and fifty's, to the most modern bike. Great drinks and light food at a good price, with parking right at the door

Alway good hot and cold drinks here, slices are nice and a good size, staff reasonably friendly and quick..Sign on wall advertizing fruit loaf at 50 cents a slice(BUT in very SMALL writing states before 10.30am) a bit of a take. Also the leather lounges and chairs are well past there use by date.
