This tyre fitter is amazing. Top customer service. Have been a handful of times and the owner has always looked after us and is very honest, you definitely feel you have received value for money. Keep up the great work!

What a lovely find! I always go to Juverna Beauty Salon next door and this cafe used to be a Fish n Chip take away well now it's a gorgeous cafe! It reminds of cafes in Brunswick or Fitzroy and now we can experience it in the hills! Lovely food at a very reasonable price and the ladies who serve you are so friendly and courteous. I had a croissant and Choc milkshake and they also serve homemade lasagne, Turkish focaccias with various fillings, homemade cakes and a small breakfast menu. I noticed organic coffee and yummy looking cupcakes! Definitely worth a stop if you're looking for lunch on the run or to sit in and relax. Cash only at the moment however, they have only opened so will probably get Eftpos soon. Well done ladies and keep up the great work and beautiful food.

A great family pub. Food is nice, staff are friendly and helpful. Always busy, a good sign. Have great deals during the working week. New bar area in sports bar allows for seating outside and is popular with the tradies for after work drinks and food especially in Summer.

This review is for Curves, Ferntree Gully VIC

A fun place to exercise in a relaxed atmosphere for ladies only. It's a small gym but that's all that's required for the Curves workout stations. Lovely helpful staff who play great tunes to keep you motivated. Price is reasonable and is around what you would pay per week at another gym. Opening times are great.

Approximate cost: $80 per month

Lovely quality Chinese food. It is more expensive than you can get elsewhere for takeaway. The owners are very friendly and get to know you. Always busy if you eat in and they have great lunch specials.

This review is for Seamus O'Toole Irish Pub, Wantirna South VIC

This pub needs to be pressure washed and sanitised inside. The floor, walls, ceiling, tables and chairs are sticky from alcohol and goodness knows what else. The only thing I feel they excel at is their Parmas and they have a great deal on a pot and Parma. The service is good at the bar but needs to improve on the tables and you can be waiting awhile for your meal. Have been there a few times but because its dirty inside, this does put you off eating there.

This review is for Micawber Tavern, Belgrave VIC

A nice old looking pub with lots of memorabilia. Even the car park is nice because there is a stream that runs alongside the pub. The food is not bad, I've had a lot better at other pubs. Good selection of beer and cider on tap. They were playing some great 80's music when we went. All in all a nice pub.

A great old looking pub with a nice atmosphere. The food is okay but nothing too exciting. If you're after traditional "pub grub with a modern twist" this place is for you. I probably wouldn't return. The bill arrives in a children's golden book which is a bit of fun and I will never forget this.

This review is for Miss Marple's Tea Room, Sassafras VIC

verified email - 19 May 2013

A very busy, touristy attraction in the quaint town of Sassafras in Mt. Dandenong. A gorgeous little house that gets very full especially for lunch at any day of the week and a nice place to vist at anytime of year because its cosy and a great atmosphere. I feel the food is overpriced for what it is however it is very nice and the staff are attentive and meet all your needs. You may have to put your name down on a list at the front desk if they are busy as there will be a wait and there are only about two long seats/pews to sit on or you will have to stand outside so get in early for lunch!

This review is for Rokk Ebony, Glen Waverley VIC

I've been here on about six occasions and received a great cut from Anna. It costs $77 for a cut, blow dry, wash and condition plus a glorious head massage in a massage chair. If you decide to get a colour done, it can be quite expensive. A very cool hairdressing salon that plays great tunes and they make you feel like you're the only customer there, the experience is about you and they listen well to what you want to achieve with your hair and give you great tips on products and styling.

Approximate cost: $77
