i tried so many caterers, these guys were the first that said, yes we can do that, and actually got back to us! They also took on our requirements/wants, and got what we meant by real, and quality food. My now husband and i cook a lot, dine out a lot, and simply like good food. The menu was exceptional, canapes, then based on italian slow cooked family meal, with slow cooked pork with cider and bacon, lamb with pesto and roasted tomatoes, potatoes with dill, beetroot with, then petit fours and wedding cake.. amazing! All served on banquet platters, and the service, also amazing! They were on to it, positive and just got in and did. we had many international guests, and everyone commented on the high quality of both food and service. they also provided us with bar service, and did all dishes etc at a venue with minimal kitchen/oven-fridge-kitchen space not really even worth talking about. Highly recommend these guys for there friendly, nothing is to hard attitude/service and delicious food. i have already recommended to several people i know getting married, and will continue to do so. DO NOT HESITATE TO USE/CONTACT. They were also exceptionally good value. They could definately be charging more, but dont seem to do the "your getting married, lets hike up the prices". Use them for onsite, or offsite catering. We went for canapes, mains, petit fours, wedding cake and bar service, but you can tailor to your needs.

This review is for Head To Toe Body Care Centre For Men & Women, Ascot Vale VIC

I bought a online voucher for this company for 3 microdermabrasion treatments. 2 locations brunswick and ascot vale. first appointment i went to the brunswick location, and felt the equipment was not up to previous experiences elsewhere, was not sure if it would be a good experience for skin, so the next time i went to the ascot vale one. terrible! she went so deep that i had wounds on my face/2 on my forehead and at the side of my nose when i left. Open abrasions, so scraped with pus (i know it doesnt sound very nice!) i should have followed up with them/done something about it, but didnt. my face healed, and i now go to another microdermabrasion person for monthly visit, but i do still have faint scars from this experience. the girl from ascot vale seemed nice enough, i just dont think from what she said that her training was of high enough level. I did not use 3rd coupon/voucher.

Great menu, almost really good food. we have been here 3 times now, and agree that every time, almost really hits the mark, and if Melbourne didnt have such great choices, this place would be a winner... last time had the crispy pancetta with eggs and rosti, great tastes, but rosti just not cooked enough. coffee not the best. they are soooo almost there.. but not quite.

Approximate cost: $14.

Surprising not to bad value. great food. have been there x 2 now. first time a special occasion and we shared a slow cooked leg of lamb, carcutierre plate and sides. was AMAZING! the 2nd time we just popped in for sharing plate and bloody marys, perfect, we sat at the counter by the kitchen, so had a great view, were fabulously looked after with gorgeous complimentary bread included. would thoroughly recommend. only downside is that you cannot book, so choose your times.

Approximate cost: $35

Really friendly and prompt staff. complimentary drink/green tea. clean and well presented environment. tasty lunch for $7.80. they have a range of lunches at this price, I had malaysian chicken satay with rice, and my friend had the pad thai with prawns. not huge, but not small, and for this price, fantastic. would definitely recommend. they have a great range of food, including fish banquet. average price of non lunch special seems to be around $12. Seems popular, there always seems to be people in there. you know when a place just seems to deserve to do well... thats this place.

Approximate cost: $7.80

This review is for Our Deal, Sydney NSW

I bought an ourdeal offer. it sounded great, the only problem is, it did not arrive within the 2 weeks, i contacted ourdeal, and received a automatic we will get back to you email. I tried to contact the company that the product was from, this company does not exist, a similar company does, but not connected, they tracked down the company details-through a license no. (as they were sick of getting phone calls about a deal that had nothing to do with them), which i then forwarded onto ourdeal, automatic response. it has now been 3 weeks and i have still not heard back from ourdeal, i have sent more emails, and just keep getting the automatic response that they will get back to me within 4 days. So, company for product does not exist, and Ourdeal does not seem to care. Very bad customer service, i cannot locate any phone no. for them, and upon speaking to friends, it seems i am not alone in not getting any customer service from them.

Approximate cost: $79
