This review is for Central Fresh Fruit & Grocer, Braybrook VIC

verified email - 14 Mar 2016

This green grocer is a little gem inside of central west. We have been coming here since moving into the area. They not only stock fresh Fruit and vegetables in a nice selection (including a good selection of herbs) they also have a great selection of continential groceries as well. Especially Turkish! No where outside of Brunswick in Melbourne have I been able to get so many turkish products. Pomegranite Molasses, Cheese, Yuvka and Burek pastry. Plus many other groceries from Oils, to Small Goods, to Herbs to Nuts to juices. Including my beloved Hungarian cherry juice. I love this shop.

I come here quite often. I started when it opened as it's quite close to my house and very convenient because its a bulk billing practice. They have podiatrists, Psychologists and Dietitians on staff. Plus the normal GPs and Technicians.

It's not brilliant, and I used to be able to come in without an appointment. Lately though, I've had to make appointments and even havent been able to get in on a particular day because they are booked out. Which is irritating. But overall, when you do have an appointment I dont have to wait a very long time, and when you make an appointment you have a pretty good chance of getting the day and time you want or a near approximation to it. The Doctors are friendly and knowledgeable, they are very willing to help you.

Compared to some of my previous GP's these guys are good and I'll continue to take my family there.

This review is for Bowery to Williamsburg, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 12 Mar 2016

We came with a relative for Sunday Brunch and had to wait nearly 30 mins to be seated. When we were seated it was at a tiny table near the coffee machine on little stools. We had a baby with us and they have no high chairs. They're not really very kid friendly, especially the 'No Booking of Tables'.

The menu had some great Breakfasts, I had the mexican eggs and my partner had another breakfast. Both were delicious. The coffees were fine. The service was brusque, and very hipster. Which is guess is great for a place called Bowery to Williamsburg. I saw they have Mac and Cheese plus Chicken and Waffles on the menu. Being a big Archer fan I am keen to go back to try the chicken and waffles. I also like a good Reuben and theirs look very authentic. Also on the menu was southern fried chicken and a biscuit.

The desserts looked deliciouc but I couldnt fit on in. They had Key Lime Pie and pecan pie. I am super keen to try Key Lime Pie.

So the foods great but the attitude stinks. I really cant stand the hipster attitude.

This review is for Fancy Hank's BBQ Joint, Melbourne VIC

We eat here regularly, sadly they dont have high chairs for the little ones, but the food is great. My favourite is the Beef Brisket and the Kansas City Pork Ribs. I'm not much a fan of the Andouille Sausage or the Beer Can Chicken. But the brisket is near perfection every time. Moist, Flavourful.... Mmm Mmm Mmmmm!.

Amongst the extras the Hush Puppies are great for the kids, as is the Mac N Cheese. The Collard greens are also delicious.

The only downside to this place is they dont start taking orders for food until 12pm, so if you're looking for an early lunch at the markets it's not a great option. But the good thing is, if you order early your food doesnt take long to be served.

Approximate cost: $66

This review is for Go Go Sushi, Melbourne VIC

What's important in a Sushi Train is really fresh ingredients. A nice selection and reasonably priced plates.
This little unassuming Sushi Train in the middle of Swanston St ticks all three of these boxes.

Plates on the train are all 3.50, The selection includes Oysters, Kingfish Sushi, Tuna and Salmon Sashimi. Inside out rolls and great edamame. Plus many more types. Other types of sushi and small dishes are also available on request from the menu.

Sake and Beer are available to drink along with the usual suspects in a sushi bar.

The Staff are friendly, and they have high chairs available for the little ones. Which is important to us. The Prices are reasonable.

The chef here was trained at the Tokyo School of Cooking and he knows his stuff. This is one of the best kept secrets in swanston st, I've never been in here and it be crowded.

Approximate cost: $35

This review is for 400 Gradi, Brunswick VIC

Went for Sunday lunch, turned up at 12.45pm, they open at 12. Was able to get a table easily. They have high chairs too and are very friendly to the little ones.

We ordered a 4 Cheese (Quattro Formaggio) and Capricosa. Both were the best pizzas hands down, we've ever had. In Melbourne, Australia, The world. It's easy to see why they were given the best pizza in the world award. The crust is amazing, the sauce is delicious and the cheese and toppings is oh so good. We inhaled the two pizzas. Our Daughter enjoyed it too. I also ordered dessert, Creme Brulee, which was quite large and also extremely good. Served with cream and strawberries.

I wouldnt hesitate to go back, I was watching what was coming out to diners around us and the anti pasto platter also looks fantastic, but I'll certainly be returning for more pizza.

This review is for Dr Magdalena M.Tabatabian Dental Surgeon, Footscray VIC

verified email - 12 Feb 2016

I came to Magdalena for a clean and check up. She is very friendly and personable and honest. Her surgery is very clean and her assistant is also very friendly and personable. Her prices are reasonable although not the cheapest around. She is not trying to sell you anything but gives you the best advice for your teeth. I would have no hesitation recommending her.

Approximate cost: $145

This review is for Health Insurance Comparison, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 12 Feb 2016

I entered a competition and saw the offer for these guys to give you a call to compare your health insurance. I've been saying no to all this stuff but I thought "Why Not?"
They sent me an email quite soon after telling me they'd be calling and what to ask and the sort of information to have on hand when they called. They called soon after and the lady I spoke to was very personable. She took my details, brought up my plan and ran through it asking what was important to me and what was not. When she found that she could not find a better plan she asked to put me on hold and confirmed with her senior colleagues. Her honesty was refreshing and I appreciated the time she took with me and her willingness to let me know i was on the best plan already.

This review is for Access Auto Care, Sunshine VIC

I was referred to Anthony by a friend, I called him one evening and he was able to book me in quite quickly. He is a mobile mechanic which i have not had experience with before but, I have since found that it is far more convenient than dropping my car and having to come back to it. I had asked him to do a 220K service, throughout the time he was working on my car he explained everything he did and everything he was going to do. There were a few little niggling cosmetic issues i had not gotten around to fixing and anthony fixed them without me even mentioning them. My car is running great and the cost was actually cheaper than taking it to a garage. I will be using Anthony again for all my services I was really happy.

This review is for 8 Bit burger, Footscray VIC

Thank goodness a great burger joint has come to footscray!
I've been here a number of times, each time the line is out the door!
The burgers are made fresh, they are so tasty and delicious. The chips are thick and delicious and come in a number of combinations. The Chilli Cheese fries are my favourite, the way the cheese melts over them and the chilli .... so good!

They use great ingredients, like sriracha chilli sauce and american yellow mustard.

I love the retro video game theme too. The prices are reasonable for the quality and even when theres a line up it doesnt take long to get your order, they have a great production line going and enough staff to manage.

The only thing I'd improve is the seating. This place is so popular there needs to be more and it would be great if they had high chairs as well, as the manager encouraged my family to come as often was we could because they are baby friendly (and they are).

If you want a change from Pho then come to this place.

Approximate cost: $8.00
