This review is for Capri Blinds & Drapes, Dandenong VIC

Absolutely appalling experience with this company. Ordered blinds under the agreement that they would be delivered on the day before we moved house. The day before they were due to install they rang to say there was a fault in the material and the blinds would not be ready. They offered to produce 2 samples of different blinds in an attempt to convince us they looked better in a different style of blind than the one we ordered. Both were terrible quality and were not fitted properly either. We cancelled the order and the first response we got was a threatening letter from their solicitor. Makes you wonder how many times this has happened before if they don't even have a complaints resolution process. It's an ongoing nightmare. Extremely stressful situation which we did not need on top of moving.

Love this place! Had lunch there this week, the service was amazing, the waiter came and opened the door for us and was very attentive throughout our lunch. It was busy but plenty of room to sit in the back area which is very kid friendly. Excellent variety on the menu. The food came out quickly, I had the chicken caesar salad which was delicious. Very impressed.

My family have been going to Stardust for 5 years or so. Jackie cuts my little boys hair and always makes him look funky, he loves it. Adam, the owner, is a great bloke, does a fantastic cut and style, and always has good suggestions. Such a comfortable, friendly place with genuine. conversation.

Marie was fantastic from the minute we made the booking for our sons birthday party. It was a cowboy party so our son was dressed as Woody from Toy Story and Marie called the Pony 'Bullseye'. Our son proudly rode him down the driveway, the look on his face was absolutely priceless. Marie was great with all the kids and they loved having a ride and helping groom the pony. The pony itself was nicely kept and very well behaved.

Brilliant cafe for a mid week lunch. Beautiful fresh baguettes, focaccias, salads... I am partial to the chicken and avocado baguette. Michael, the owner makes such an effort to say Hi and make everyone feel welcome and all the staff are super friendly. They also do great catering for business lunches.

This review is for Bliss Dentistry, Hawthorn East VIC

I've been seeing Dr.Bliss - yes, there is actually a Dentist called Bliss!! - for 7 years. He has such a calming personality, extremely professional yet friendly, whistles and hums through the treatment... he actually makes the annual trip to the Dentist enjoyable. I first went to him for a 2nd opinion after I'd been advised by a different practice that I needed lots of dental work. Turns out I didn't need hardly anything done. My husband had a similar experience. I've also seen Dr. Winter in the practice and he was lovely too. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

This review is for Melbourne Sports Tours, Melbourne VIC

The Horses, Wine and Beer tour is a fantastic day out. We booked it as a family treat and I really enjoyed it. Visiting the champion horses at Living Legends is amazing and was followed by a delicious lunch at a winery and then a trip to Holgate Brewery for beer tasting. It was such a fun day and good value. We've also booked visiting relatives into the Melbourne Sports Tour and they've all loved it. The tour guide Simon is an absolute star and definitely knows his stuff.

Approximate cost: $100-$130

This review is for The Brewers Den, Boronia VIC

Recently visited the shop looking for a starters kit for home brewing for a fathers day gift. I really needed help as I had no idea what I was doing and I found the service to be fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. They are experts in the brewing business, so a great place to start a new hobby.

This review is for Dinnerland Fish Shop, Boronia VIC

verified email - 18 Sep 2012

Dinnerland has now edged infront to be the best Fish and Chip shop in Boronia. The reason for this is their "proper chips" - ones that look like they have been hand cut from potatoes, not the frozen processed variety you get in some chip shops. Always friendly service and if you phone order it's usually "10 minnies".

Approximate cost: $6

This review is for Madeline's At Jells, Wheelers Hill VIC

verified email - 17 Sep 2012

Great for either breakfast or lunch. The cafe is quite spacious so they are happy to accommodate prams etc. If you need to make a large booking on a weekend you will need to pay a $10 per person deposit which turns into a cancellation fee for no shows. The food is delicious though and lots of room for the kids to run around the park after.

Approximate cost: $15-20
