One of my go to lunch places, especially for hot pho in the Winter. Good value as serves are large and prices are low. Just be aggressive in getting the attention of the staff because they really don't care less whether you order or not, but this is the norm in Asian noodle places (and having spent time in Asia it's the norm there too).

Approximate cost: $9

I've been here many times and I LOVE the food, especially the soups and stir fries. Prices are reasonable, but unfortunately service can be slow. I've been going here for about 2 years and it used to be my partner and I's go to restaurant for a nice dinner until they messed us around with our reservation on our anniversary resulting in us waiting for a table for 30 mins then to be placed on a a 'makeshift' table they pulled out and put in front of the toilets. If you have patience, or maybe if you get take away it would be perfect.

This review is for Sandy Beach Cafe, Sandringham VIC

Great coffee and food in a very relaxed atmosphere. It's basically Beach Hut/Hawaian Surfer style decor but the food is great and it's just near the beach (although not right on it as some google reviews suggested). It's great for a weekend brunch before hitting the beach.

I bought a scoppon for a 'spa pedicure' to try this place out. The manager was very friendly, but the girl actually doing the pedicure really didn't want to be there. Also the service was NOT good.The 'spa pedicure' took all of about 20 mins and the polish application was terrible. I could have done a better job myself and I'm not that good at it, which is why I was looking for a place to regularly get it done close to work. They don't use anything to dry the polish faster (like dry n shine, a lamp or hair spray) so even after an hour afterwards wearing my thongs when I had to put my shoes on and go to my afternoon shift the polish went everywhere. Redid my polish at home myself. I'm so glad I didn't pay full price for it.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Vitruvius Divine Cosmetic Clinics Melbourne, Melbourne VIC

I used a groupon for anti-wrinkle injections here. Staff were very knowledgable and professional and spent a lot of time talking with me about the procedure. They didn't just treat me like a 'groupon' customer if you know what I mean. It's very clean and nice, the only downside is that when I booked I was told I'd get a discount on additional services on the day because I had a groupon but when it came time to pay I was charged full price.

This review is for Aqua Spa Retreat, Essendon VIC

I wonder if this place has changed hands. About 2 years ago visited Aqua Spa Retreat for a flower infused facial and found it to be a very professional and relaxing environment. A few months ago I went again and it was completely different. Staff seemed overwhelmed and disinterested and '45 min' facial only went for about half an hour. Won't be returning.

Approximate cost: $90

This review is for Pimento, Glen Iris VIC

This place is well priced for the area and does decent Thai food. Love the duck stir fry. Free delivery when spending more than $25.
Not many options for vegetarians though, which is a shame as my flatmate is vegetarian.

Both take away and dine in experiences are pretty good. You do get much larger portions with take out, and it seems to be the more popular option.

Approximate cost: $13
