they have good or reasonable quality clothes and reasonable/affordable prices...t- shirts, hoods, singlets and any kind of casual wear that is really comfortable at the same time...i browse there regularly to see what new items they have and always find something that i need...staff are really polite as well and they are not pushy at all (meaning not forcing you to choose something instantly or to buy something that you don't need)...

Approximate cost: $25-$50

This review is for The Atlantic Restaurant, Southbank VIC

one of the premium restaurants in melbourne located at southbank side of crown casino...it has spectacular view and nice atmosphere...waiter's service is reasonably good...liked dessert (fig cake i had last time), but they can do much better with main meal that costs approx. $45...my beef shnitzell wasn't the best in the world, not jucy and properly fried (for this price)...it costs around $150 for full course dinner per person(including salad and potato ) which we didn't know at the time, but later on decided to stay because of spectacular view...once was enough for me...

an amazing venue with a lot of shops, bars, restaurants to choose from..always busy and crowded...my most favourite venues in crown are: palms in crown with all events that they have, emporio della pasta restaurant with really yummy pasta choices and delicious panna cotta desert (pasta around $20 and dessert around $12) and bit more expensive restaurant that goes out on the southbank is Atlantic (it has the best view in the evenings, and best desserts-i tried some fig cake last time). atlantic is bit more pricey as full course dinner for 1 person costs around $150, but it is premium restaurant...always going back to crown...

Approximate cost: $20-$150

This review is for Michael Hill Jewellers, Dandenong VIC

value of jewellery and design is good, although some pieces can be very pricey in comparison to other global jewellery shops (like zamels, goldmark, bevilles)...i didn't like the idea of buying something that i don't like as some of the staff are bit pushy in order to sell the products...they do not offer members rewards, but do offer limited insurance for free and lifetime insurance at cost around $80 depending on type of jewellery...pieces are from $1200 when on sale...i was customer there for few years but not anymore, as customers are not appreciated as in Bevilles...often i felt like i am buying for them not for myself, as they always suggested to buy something that they like, not me, although i explicitly suggested what item i like...it is like they are trying to get some of the items sold, more than the others..

Approximate cost: $1200

service here is really good as staff are really helpful...i bought few items here (on sales) and staff do offer affordable promotions when you buy more items...prices reasonable (as in any plaza jewellery shops)...nice medium rings that cost around $1200 on sale are half price...otherwise they do not have members card, but recently jewellery comes with certificate, cleaning services and replacements within warranty period...i never needed replacement or had any problems with their jewellery...last time i bought one ring but size wasn't right for my fingers (too big)...they politely accepted my explanation and ordered in store right size for me...ring came within 3 days in store and they sent me message that i can pick it up...that was lovely...

Approximate cost: $600 for a ring on sale

staff are really polite and helpfull as they assist you to chose right bra and size for yourself...they have vast range of lingerie, bras, sleepwear and swimwear too, to choose from...any design, size or colour that you need or like...affordable too as it can be ($60 for good quality bra) and on sales even more affordable...they also have reward cards when you purchase more items and points go towards your next purchase...my favourite is Playboy range as it shapes well and they have great range of designs...last time shop assistant was so helpful and really assisted me patiently to try on 5-6 bras, until finally i found right one for me...

Approximate cost: $60
