This review is for Back in Motion, Braybrook VIC

I've been coming here for the last two years since I moved to West Footscray. Ian, Tara, Georgina, Bianca and the rest of the staff are all extremely thorough, professional and hard working.

I've had excellent results from pregnancy pilates classes, general physiotherapy for back pain and now I'm doing pilates for post pregnancy.

Both myself and my partner come here and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this team to anyone who was needing physiotherapy in the West Footscray and Braybrook area.

We have been here a number of times, most recently yesterday with a group for friends for lunch and a catch up. We were able to book the table online and ask for a high chair and room enough for our stroller and we arrived to find this was all set up for us. The service was excellent, the waitresses often came to check on us to ensure everything was alright, they were knowledgeable about the menu and could offer good advice on dishes. We stayed for about 5 hours and enjoyed the atmosphere. The bar has a number of Australian Beers on tap and nice wines. The food is a little pricey but the portions match the price, the only thing we'd say is that the ribs were a little burnt on the bottom. The Parma is massive and my steak, which I asked for rare, was rare and quite delicious. I have no issue coming here again and again and there is a deal with a parking station in flinders lane for 4 dollar all day weekend parking. I'd recommend it for families and medium sized groups.

I have been here three times for a haircut. The price is cheap and I do not usually need to book or wait too long. The staff are friendly generally and if there is a long wait they will suggest I go do some shopping or get a coffee. I have had the same lady cut my hair each time, and she is very amenable to being shown a picture of what you want, which is what I do, she will adapt to your hair. Basically i was very happy with what I got and I'll keep returning til I'm not!

This review is for Peter's Sharpening, Melbourne VIC

Called Peter up on a Tuesday to get some knives sharpened, he was able to fit me in the very next day, he came to our house and sharpened 5 knives for us. All these knives were blunt and now they have very sharp edges, it's like they are brand new! The whole process took under 10 minutes, I will be using him again for certain

Came here for my birthday dinner this week, the decor and ambience is very relaxed and unpretentious. The wait staff are friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Our dishes came as they were ready and we promptly taken away when we were done. The flavours are fresh and imaginative but using traditional japanese ingredients. Stand outs are the Kaki Oysters, the Wagyu Beef Ball, the Yake Yake plate of grilled delights, the Sashimi plate and the Soba Noodle Salad. They even offered to give us an additional oyster on our Kaki entre so there were no arguments over the last oyster. We will come back here for sure.

This review is for Lok Lok Dumpling Bar, Melbourne VIC

We came here for lunch after going to the Markets across the road. We were seated quickly, we got good service and the food was pretty good and cheap. They have a good selection of dumplings, including my favourite Xiao Long Bao (With broth inside) which are OK (not fantastic). I would come and eat here again.

This review is for Japas, Melbourne VIC

I will state upfront that i LOVE Sushi Trains. I think they are sadly lacking in Victoria though. NSW does them far better. In Victoria they are overpriced. Japas is no exception. Yes, it's a sushi train, one of 3 in the city, but each course is on average 5 dollars. Yes they are nice, but 3 bits of Sushi is not 5 dollars worth. I had 3 courses at a lunch and it came to 27 dollars. Not value in my opinion, regardless of how nice the dishes are.

I was referred here by my company who have an agreement with them to provide counselling for it's employees. Initially the counsellor I spoke to over the phone for the initial consultation was very judgemental and I didnt like him. I dont think counsellors are supposed to be judgemental. But Tony, with whom I had my second consultation was quite good and the hour I had with him flew by, he was able to give me some good thinking strategies for the the problem I was going through. OK, I couldnt afford to come back to him and one session is probably not enough to cure anxiety, but I certainly felt better for seeing him.

I've come here many many times, it's always full and the service is brisk. The food is cheap and filling, the Pho is fantastic, especially Number 17, the house special. The Three Coloured drink is also wonderful. It is clean and the customer turn over is frequent. If you are after a cheap delicious bowl of Pho that is the closest you will find to vietnam then here is your best bet. If you want a leisurely intimate meal then perhaps go elsewhere.

Also, it does help your service if you speak a bit of vietnamese, although a few of the waitresses dont understand my poor vietnamese, other times when I have ordered in vietnamese and my colleagues in english I have got my order and theirs was forgotten (it was only a 3 coloured drink so not a huge deal).

I will keep going back because the Pho it the best I have tasted in Melbourne.

Approximate cost: $8 - 9 dollars

Came here for dinner with Fiance and Father, was looking for a greek restaurant that served more than just the usual. Had seen this place driving past and it looked nice, the reviews were good as well. After eating here I can say they were all correct. The food was AMAZING! The servings were huge and the specials board is where the magic is at. My fiance and I had the Roast baby goat and we couldnt finish it. The entres were Zuchinni flowers and meatballs and something else in a tomato sauce and all of it was delicious. The Wine menu has a lovely selection of Greek wines, organic as well and they are delicious too. I would eat here again at the drop of a hat. The food was so good, and I saw a number of greek diners so I can only guess that they feel the same. The waiters all speak greek and are knowledgeable about the menu and wines, it's really nice atmosphere and family orientated. Its cosy and it's a good spot to watch the life along mt alexander road. I was really wow'd by this dining experience.
