This is my favorite place for lunch in North Melbourne. Very good variety. I love the fresh juices. They will make any combination that you want.

Now, the food is the star here. Good quality, good sized portions and very well priced. They have good selection of specials as well. I love the Andalusian eggs and the calamari is done very well.

Coffee is ok.

Approximate cost: $17

This is my regular stop for a coffee on the way to work. If you are after a good coffee, this is one of the best places in Melbourne. Very consistent and the service is great as well. It can be a bit of a wait in the morning as a long line of people wait for their coffee, but it's worth the wait. The food is good as well. Love the eggs benedict!

If you have not tried it, pop in for a visit.

I went in to Berkowitz with my wife and kids today as we are looking for a dining set. As my wife walked around, the kids and I decided to sit down on a sofa. The store was manned by 3 guys who were not helpful at all. One came up and did not look too pleased that I was sitting on the sofa.

As we were pondering over a table, another sales person came up. We asked a few questions which he answered, but he seemed rather irritated that we needed more time. I opened up the extension to see how large it was but he seemed annoyed that we open it up. How are we supposed to know what the table is like if we do not open it? At this point, I walked out even though my wife was interested in the dining table.

The service in the other stores in the centre were so much better. I will not be going back to this Berkowitz outlet for sure.

After very frustrating experiences with 2 other cleaners for our office, we wondered if we would ever find a reliable cleaner. I searched on WOMO and gave GSR a call. The owner came out the same day and gave us a quote which was on par with the previous cleaners we were using. They have now been cleaning our office for the last 4 weeks and the work is excellent. I walked into the office early this morning to find 2 of the cleaners hard at work. Our office has not been this clean for some time.

I would highly recommend them for any office cleaning.

I was going to bid on a house at auction and got Joe to do a pre purchase inspection. We could not get access to the property until 2 days before auction. He called me the day after to give me a quick summary of the inspection and followed up with a very thorough written report. I found his work very detailed and it helped me establish a price for the house that I was comfortable with and pointed out issues that needed attention. I would recommend Joe highly.

Approximate cost: $680

Food is always good and the service fast and friendly. My favorite is the minced pork noodle. Tasty and spicy. Highly recommended.

We have tried other dishes as well. Not a fan of the thai noodles but the rice dishes are good.

Approximate cost: $11

We were looking to buy a property and got confused as to what was good value and how to navigate the whole auction process. We met with 3 different buyers advocates and decided to go with Hugh. He was very knowledgeable, professional and helped remove the emotion out of the decision.

At auction, we set a strategy and followed through which resulted in us buying the property at a good price. For anyone in a similar situation, I recommend having a chat with Hugh.

Had my small lawn mowed and clean up of the backyard. Used the directory and got in touch with Brad in Oakleigh. He came over and got the job done in a timely manner. I would recommend them anytime.

Approximate cost: $50

I joined while I was waiting for my flight at the airport. Of the 2 deliveries I have had so far, most of the wines are very good. Decent value for money and some of the selection is not readily available in retail outlets. I like the ability to try different wines from different regions and they have a range of different packs that give you options.

They advertise a money back gurantee for wines which you do not like. Had a bottle in the recent shipment that was just not to my liking. I rang the customer service line and the gave me a refund. With options and service like this, its defenitley worth giving it a try.

Went for dinner on a Saturday night and the place was packed. But even with it being pretty full, service was good. Took a while to get the food, but that was ok seeing how busy they were.

Food quality is pretty good. The noodles were good, the beef on rice and the sukiyaki was delicious, but the sushi's were pretty average. I would go again, but not bother with the sushi.

Approximate cost: $25
