Rubbish. I walked in here with the sole purpose of buying my 5 year old a bike. Two sales assistants in the store who looked to be in the process of servicing bikes. I asked for a specific brand that had been recommended to me but when advised they didn't stock it I asked for their recommendations. The sales assistant told me of the two options, pushing one of them that I was not convinced was the best one, and not really giving me the information I felt I needed to make a decision. My gut feeling was that the sale of a $200 bike was unworthy of his effort. I left without purchasing but lo and behold went elsewhere and ended up buying his bike, a bike for myself, tandem fitting for my 3 year old, helmet and car bracket. Looks like Trak missed out on a valuable sale.

Had a pedi and facial here. One hour facial only went for 45 minutes and pedi didn't seem to last as long as those as those I get from other places. Not sure I'll go back.

New gelati bar opened in Norwood. Definitely a cheaper option that the Cold Rock up the road. Lovely flavours. Service not fabulous - struggled to find out which were gluten free from the disinterested sales assistant.

Great products - tick! Reasonable pricing - tick! Good customer service - big fat cross! Delivery time - woeful! I have ordered twice from this company and on both occasions it would appear that delivery is not arranged until question about when delivery will occur is raised a week after order. Won't be using them again.

Had breakfast with the kiddies and it was fabulous! Waiter was great with the kids. Bacon was crispy perfect, unlike most places nowadays, and the eggs spot on. We will be back.

This hole in the wall, cramped little restaurant serves authentic chinese and it is amazing. No wonder you have to line up to get in! The iconic broadbean and bean curd dish is amazing, and salt and pepper eggplant delish! Red pepper beef was also great, as was the chicken dish (can't remember what it was). Fried rice was a bit bland, but not too great a disappointment. Amazing prices and service, whilst not overly friendly, is quick and efficient. Will continue to go back over and over and over again.

I visited for lunch with a group. We pre-ordered and service was very quick, however the lamb that I ordered was a bit tough. The caramelised filled pudding accompanying it was divine, however! Everyone else was happy with their meals so perhaps it was just bad luck. Was also disappointed that the view was blocked by a parked tourist van.

Had lunch here on Grand Final day and perhaps that was the problem! Staff looked like they didn't want to be there! It appears the chef was too busy watching the footy to take care with the food, so my pasta was flavourless and my friend's duck was overcooked. Service at the bar was extremely slow and inefficient. Disappointing.

Wow! Love this place. Have been meaning to try it out for ages and finally did. The place is barely recognisable as the old
Manse. Groovy décor and friendly, relaxed service. We arrived at around 7pm on a Friday night and had a 45 minute wait. Gave us time to go to the pub for a drink and to buy some wine as we were thrilled to see corkage was only $12. Food was amazing, especially the eggplant pasta, the salmon carpaccio special and the polenta. Lots of options for dietary requirements (we had vegetarian and gluten free) and great for sharing. Service could have been more prompt at times but they were incredibly busy and nothing was too much trouble when asked. jAnd the price?? We had five sharing plates, two desserts, four coffees and two corkages - $160!! Will definitely be back.

I buy my smallgoods from here every week. Very fresh, great range, excellent service. My kids love the twiggy sticks and their bacon is yummy. Great with the kids.
