This is a terrible target compared to other stores. Its product range is so very small compared to other targets. In particular the childrens clothes.

These guys are always so very helpful. We bought almost all our baby gear from here - we had no idea as we were first time parents but they never made us feel stupid or snigger at our questions. It seems like a small store but they cram a lot of stuff in there. The guys out the back are also excellent, helping you get things into your car.

They are often very busy but they never rush you - it is good to have a little patience to wait your turn as it will pay off.

There is a car park out the back which is much easier than parking on Burke road.

The staff were very stand offish and were not very helpful at all. There are not as many products or options as I thought there would be for a store of this size.

This is a great website for little hints and information, plus they have great competitions. I would never have thought to visit a product site for general baby/toddler information.

I have now used a couple of doctors at this clinic and they have all been friendly, professional and take the time to listen. Dr Carloyn Royse is now my doctor of choice. She is very thorough and makes you feel at ease and cared for.

The food we had for lunch was standard pub menu but it was a step above and everyone liked their dishes. The service was very friendly and accommodating.

We had a number of small children and prams with us. There was heaps of room for the kids to roam outside and for the babies to be put on blankets on the floor.

You can eat inside or out. It was a very hot day but it was lovely and cool inside. There is a huge fireplace which would be excellent in winter. We ended up sitting around all afternoon and did not feel pressured to move on.

Approximate cost: $20

Overall the experience was average.
The front of house customer service was friendly. However it took a very very long time for our meals to come and the tables meals did not come together. The restaurant was only half full.
The pizzas and garlic bread were quite good. The pasta was average. Something was very salty as I then had drink vast amounts of water later that night. Unfortunately we didn't get to try dessert as by the time the mains had come we had had enough of the night and left.

It was also very very noisey, it was hard to hear what the person sitting opposite you was saying.

Approximate cost: $15

We went for a work lunch (24 people) so had a set menu to choose from (4 of each course). The food was of a high quality and tasty however the chef was not prepared to cook the steaks the way people requested, all had to be medium. Given there was only 4 other people in the restaurant I felt that was quite lazy of the chef.

The service was ok, however the waitress was not very familiar with the dishes or drinks and constantly leaned over people to reach to the table.

The location is great however it is a bit on the expensive side.

Approximate cost: $25-$30

This review is for Straits Cafe, Wantirna South VIC

We went for lunch on a Sunday, it was booked out and the tables were being turned over quite quickly (although we were never pressured to move on).

It is basic in decor and furniture however the food was great. The menu had the usual Malaysian suspects and a couple more that you don't always see. The dishes were fresh and a decent size.

The service was pretty attentive given how busy it was. It is BYO with only soft drinks available in the restaurant.

Approximate cost: $10-$12

Six of us went for dinner on a week night. The service was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. We asked for dishes to be spicier and they were.
The food was very tasty and fresh - only one of the dishes had meat that was a little fatty for my liking.
The decor was very nice. The only downside was when a group booking came in right next to us. It became very noisy (they were 12 women though!) until they started eating.

Approximate cost: $25-30
