I used to eat here a lot when I lived in the area but haven't eaten here for years. I was most impressed recently when we called in for some take away. The service was outstanding...really friendly and our order was delivered to our car (by the owner I think) where we were waiting (as we had a puppy with us and couldn't wait in the restaurant). The food was as good as ever...I remember it as one of the first Chinese restaurants that did not use MSG in the 80's, something that was important to me. The prices are comparable to the area and I have never been disappointed with the food, which is more than I can say with other restaurants in the area. Even though I live a fair distance, I will definitely be returning.

Approximate cost: $18.00

Beautiful location and one of the best massages I have had in years. I had the aromatherapy/relaxation massage (1 hour) and came out feeling like I was floating. Nadine is lovely, friendly and a fabulous masseuse. The venue is gorgeous. You can relax in their beautiful lounge with a cup of herbal tea after your massage. I just didn't want to leave. Will definitely be coming back.

Approximate cost: $90.00 for an hour

This place offers so many wonderful experiences...crystals, books, angel cards, etc. in the shop; workshops and classes in reiki, belly dancing, drumming; or concerts - Divine Dancing. I have attended the last 3 concerts with my friends and have loved every one of them. You can watch the performers while having a glass of champagne and a food platter, take part in the dancing and learn some new steps and even have a reading while you are there. Fantastic concept. Women only (sorry guys, you miss out!)

Approximate cost: $10

I had been wanting to try this place for so long, but had never been able to get a table as they are always so busy. Finally had the opportunity to eat there midweek. Still busy but only had to wait half an hour for a table. I was disappointed with my sticky toffee pudding which was a bit dry. My friends however loved their devonshire teas. The tea was weak and made with tea bags and served in plain white coffee cups. Service was poor. It's a shame that Miss Marple's doesn't live up to its decor and reputation.

I found this restaurant a refreshing change from the usual pretentious and overpriced French restaurants around Melbourne. Good authentic French food, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere contribute to make this a restaurant I definitely wnt to revisit.

I used to eat here a lot but hadn't been for a while. Went there for a friend's birthday recently and was very impressed. Food was amazing (particularly the Peking Duck), and the service was excellent. We hadn't organised a cake but they brought out a little cup cake with sparklers without our even asking. Excellent!!!

Haven't had much experience with Chinese medicine but am very impressed. Saw a skin specialist for an annoying cyst on my finger who recommended surgery. Thought I would try Chinese medicine first. Dr Cao used Chinese herbs to burn the cyst off. Very reasonable cost and much better option than surgery.
Update 2nd October 2012
Just wanted to update this review....my cyst is now completely gone! I am very happy as the skin specialist told me I would have to have surgery. I am definitely going to turn to Chinese Medicine if ever I have something wrong with me!!!

Approximate cost: $35

Great new restaurant/cafe at Clayton Campus. Stylish and sophisticated ambience, great service, great coffee, great food! Love it! As this place has only just opened, they don't yet have a liquor license.

Approximate cost: $18

Was getting a bit annoyed with Fishpond, but they have redeemed themselves. Still a tad difficult to communicate with but they have in the end, resolved my queries and responded to me. I notice they have apologised on their site for not answering emails. Seems they have had a few technical difficulties. Will continue to use them.

Very, very happy! I am totally impressed with Paul's work. I spilt some red wine on my cream carpet and Paul meticulously worked at the stain until the carpet was restored. Paul was friendly and extremely conscientious, unlike previous carpet cleaners I have had in the past who really did not seem to care and left the carpet with as many stains as before they started. Will definitely be using Paul again!!!
