This review is for Paint Drop, Oakleigh VIC

appears to be a new business. delivers paint to your door, easy to use and delivered what was ordered on time
good value, with some neat features on the website
better than standing in a queue at the paint store I think!

This review is for Rivoli Cinema, Hawthorn East VIC

verified email - 25 May 2008

the renovation managed to retain the old feel of the rivoli with much more added. it's a state of the art multiplex type cinema and great for choice
the only issue i have is the lack of "savoury/non fattening" snacks etc...it's the same old diet of maltesers, coke, popcorn as it is elsewhere, would be good if they could think outside the box more...but maybe that's what comes with the chain ownership?

This review is for Camberwell Antique Centre, Camberwell VIC

such a lot to see in this (i presume) converted old cinema on cookson street
it's a great place to get someone a gift that is unusual (something old, rare, interesting). the only issue is it's not always easy to get info on items there as there are many cabinets there where the goods are being sold on behalf of the person renting the cabinet
a good place to while away a sat afternoon though if you want an alternative to the footie or yet another cafe latte

This review is for George's Restaurant Bar Cafe, Camberwell VIC

it's hard for georges as it is a cavernous place that lacks intimacy and clearly is catering for numbers, but it has stiff competition in camberwell and just doesn't have that much to recommend it versus some other places.
i think it keeps pulling people in because there's not much wrong with it and it is so well knowns and unmissable

This review is for Safeway, Camberwell VIC

verified email - 25 May 2008

its a large safeway with a large range. recently revamped to look nicer and be easier to shop. easy to park underneath, so there's a lot going for it, but it is costly. trips to other supermarkets in other suburbs suggest this one is one of the most expensive....which if you live in camberwell is irritating as it suggests price hikes to squeeze the most dollars out of the seemingly local well heeled residents...which is misleading as many residents of camberwell are not "rich" at all

good range of stuff you wont often find elsewhere. not that cheap, but it's not pretending to be a discounter. cafe is good. service is sometimes a bit offhand though (at the cafe). it would also be good if they had a more meaningful customer loyalty scheme

This review is for Aussie Farmers Direct, Richmond VIC

verified email - 25 May 2008

when this service started we thought (as a family with 2 kids)...great, at last milk etc delivered to the door and the money going to the farmers, not to pump up the profits of a big supermarket firm. but after repeatedly having milk delivered at 2am on a sunday and despite asking for a time change (as they'd wake our dog up and then the whole house was pandemonium) we had to say stop delivering to us. they were not at all flexible over delivery and we very disappointed

This review is for Intermarque Automotive, Collingwood VIC

don't let the fact that there are often some exotic cars inside scare you, these guys are very down to earth and open. i have been using them for years and have never had any issues. it's a small place, but they're very knowledgeable....used to do a lot of the work for duttons I think

This review is for Tandoori Den, Camberwell VIC

good range of dishes, good quality food and the service is always great
has to be one of the best curry houses in melbourne
also has an interesting set up where you can see some of the food prep from the dining room downstairs

This review is for Choclatte, Camberwell VIC

heaven! (if you like amazing chocolate drinks etc)
there is a really good choice of drinks and the decor etc are pretty good...the service is really friendly too...and no traffic fumes if you sit outside as it is down an alleyway off burke road
