Where do I start? Firstly I never received the quote and then they decided to just turn up with paint and ladders the day before they were supposed to start work without me giving them the go ahead. I then agreed to a CASH price.
The painter turned up and prepped the area said it will need an hour to dry so he left to go get a coffee. After many of phone calls to the boss Fred the worker returned 4 hours later. Done a quick paint job one coat only in 1.5 hours. Also touched up a few ceiling spots we had then I realised he had the wrong colour! So I only paid 80% so the boss could come during the day to check his dodgy job and fix the fix ups. Well the boss turned up late at night (looked drunk or drugged) with his girlfriend, ready to threaten me for not paying. He came back the next day to fix the touch ups with the paint I had supplied but he didn't cover the area the previous painter did so looks worse. They also dropped paint all over the carpet, they were messy and pee'd on the floor in the bathroom.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

We attend this road side strawberry farm a lot during the summer months. It is a good little drive through Warrandyte. The staff are friendly and the frozen strawberry yoghurt and home made ice cream is to die for. They have smoothies and you can buy fresh strawberries. Also a bonus for the kids there is goats and sheep in the paddock next door that will come over and what you eat :-)

Approximate cost: $8

We visited this restaurant mid week. It was good as they are open all day and we booked for 5:30 as we have young kids so they eat early. So it was good, they also accommodated for toddler with a high chair. Wasn't very busy but it was mid week. It is a very nice clean place inside and it is worth the drive to Warrandyte.
Meals were great, I thought it might be like pub food but the presentation was great & cooked just right!
Great service & great price can't ask for much more!

Must visit this place

I have mixed emotions about this salon. I took my toddler here and couldn't be more then happy with the result.
However I decided I would try them, I got in on time and my colour was put in, the buzzer went off and I sat there for another 40 minutes waiting for the hairdresser to finish on another client. During this time my head got very itchy, a few days after the skin where the dye was so all around my face started to peel like sunburn, it was terrible.
I did connect with the hairdresser but she was clearly over booked. I didn't have time for a hair cut as I had to leave.

Approximate cost: $90

Went here as friends recommended it. Checked their website out as have small kids, said it was kid friendly. However they only had one highchair that was being used. Therefore I could not have breakfast as had a kid on my knee, so didn't get to taste the food. Coffees got mixed up so I didn't get mine for a while and the baby chino was more like a small hot chocolate. It was very squishy inside so if your lucky to get a seat and enjoy your meal then good luck. Wouldn't go here with small kids.

I don't know where to start here. I went here to just get a colour fill. My roots and a cut and dry. The hair dresser didn't smile once, she didn't talk. (Although some people might like that) she started putting the colour in my hair and was pushing my head to where she wanted it, could have asked.. she then flicked the dye in my eye! Then continued and didn't realize, I had to stop her cause it hurt so much and I could not see. She then blamed my hair for it. What the!
She then did the rest of my colour with my head in the basin and then left me while it set with me leaning back over the hard basin... I had massive bruise on the back of my neck for days not to mention the headache. I was also quoted $160ish cost me $190. I was going to write a letter but they don't take notice these days.

Approximate cost: $190

We went here on fathers day so was expecting it to be busy, we could not book which wasn't good. However walked in and got a seat with a highchair straight away. We waited and waited and then thought maybe it wasn't table service so my partner went to order only to be told someone will be with you soon. Waited and waited. Finally orded Food & Coffee at same time. Coffee's came all out sepratly one by one and the baby chino was last (so imagine his face when everyone else was drinking but him!) - they were all just warm.

Food was very tasty but not worth the price. Took forever to come out, if they were smart enough should have taken another coffee order.

We travelled to go here as someone recommended it, wasnt worth the drive.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Spice Temple, Southbank VIC

The food here was amazing! We had the set menu. It was a little spicy but that's the whole point i think.. hence the name.. and I love spicy food. The service just kept coming and waiting on us. We were a large group and probably a bit loud at times but we were accepted. The place has a low light so if you sweat while you eat the hot food no one will see! It is a little on the pricey side, but even though the meals were small as they come out but there was alot of small meals that filled you up. Everyone should experience this place.

Approximate cost: $75

I have only been here a hand full of times, which means I'm fixed! I got in quickly they understood the pain I may have been in and fitted me in. Cracked & massaged put my back & neck back in walked out a new person. Some people don't believe in this but I was quickly diagnosed fix and told only come back if I need to. No scans, ultrasounds, expensive consultation one after another. Will certainly go back in future if I need to. Dr Bruce knows his stuff!

Ovi came out & gave us a quote, which was very reasonable. He gave us a time frame to do all our bits & pieces of electrical works. When we called & accepted the quote he fitted us in came on time. Finished earlier then timeframe & therefore price dropped. He knows his stuff & was polite. He took his shoes off when he entered the house had respect for our things unlike other tradies.

Approximate cost: $500
