Town Square is vibrant, fun and central so an excellent start. The Cella Door is a funky place to stop for a drink or snack but also a great place for a meal. We often have our pre-dinner drinks here and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable. I love that local brews are served.

I have had a number of admissions to Mitcham Private for various reasons over the past 19 years (the most recent being this year) and have had pleasant experiences every single time. I have also been to other hospitals but the staff at Mitcham win hands down. They are friendly, supportive and so caring. The food is good and the kitchen staff will go out of their way for you. The parking is not great but not as bad as many other hospitals in the area.

The food here is excellent. The quality is very high, the flavours are spot on and there is a good mix of modern and traditional asian fusion on the menu. The service is second to none and the hostess is one of the funniest, friendliest people I've been served by.

Natalie is fabulous. I walked in feeling really unhappy with my hair and I walked out a new person! Natalie listened and spent time getting to know me and my hair and I left feeling like I'd had the best cut and colour ever. Three weeks later and I still feel the same, I couldn't be happier. Can't wait for my next appointment.

The food is usually good and they have gluten free options but if they're busy the service is slow.
