Slow. 25 mins from ordering to receiving my meal and the cafe was not even half full. I have tried time and time again with this place but the staff and quality of product don't seem to improve. The prices are high and the quality of food does not match. Staff stand around chatting and ignoring their customers and there is just a general lack of service.

Approximate cost: $22

I went to Red Bennies becuase I found a voucher on one of those sites. It was about $15 for entry for 2 ppl and a drink each so really cheap. The drinks menu was awesome with some fab cocktails and friendly bar staff that would make anything you wanted. One guy even made me a special drink! I told him what I wanted in one just for fun and he gave some suggestions as to what might compliment the flavours aswell and it tasted so good! The show was average unfortunetly. The host "Saffira", was a great MC but pretty much the other performers all looked middle aged and awkward. I felt like I was watching a woman trying to spice up her sex life by doing a little strip teese for her husband but she wasn't quite sure of herself. Bit awkward to watch. Also, Burlesaue performers are meant to be curvy, beautiful women with real figures. The only woman like that was Saffira. The rest of the performers were pretty but it didn't live up to the typical picture of burlesque which was what I wanted to see. I would go again but would want to take a large group as thats the only time you can book a table apparently because I wore heels and had to stand up for the 3 odd hours I was there. And make sure there are better performers.All in all it was okay and I would go back but make a few changes.

Sofia's is gross!!!!! It is loud and noisy and dirty. All the wait staff are rude and dressed inappropietly for work in short skirts ect. I did not recieve one smile when I was there. Their servings are massive and cheap but just think of the quality of what your putting in your body. Not good! I had a vegitraian pizza and got violent food poisening. The kiosk isn't bad if your after some quick deep fried goodness to complete your day at the beach but do not! go in for a meal!!!! terrible service and possable food poisening!. Such a disappointment that there are only 2 resturants on the Frankston forshore and one is such a let down.

Pretty good. I took my boyfriend to Witches in Britches as part of his birthday celebrations and we both really liked it. We have both been to Dracula's in the past and I think witches is just as good. Definatly go again. We also got a 2 for 1 deal which was fab!!! Meal was good and the show was funny.

Approximate cost: $65

I am a regular at Dracs and love the place. I have been with many different groups of people and everyone always comes out with positive reviews. The last time I went (back in about July) was a bit of a let down. It was the second time I had seen this particular show and it was still good and the food was better than the previous time but it had lost some of the atmosphere. They no longer do photos with the cast but infront of a green screen and the wait staff were all in a sort of uniform rather than the usual full out costumes and make up which complete the experience. I will still return to Dracs because I think it will always be great but I hope they return to how they were.

Approximate cost: $70 plus drinks

OMG! This place has made my life so much easier and less stressfull! Found when my boyfriend was sick of me talking about ill fitting bras. He did a quick google and we were there within a half hour. As soon as I saw the store I was excited and not worrying. Having HH sized boobs makes it a bit hard to find bras let alone nice, pretty ones!!!!We both went around the store picking out pretty stuff and I got trying. Alice was my fitter and she instantly told me what would work and what wouldn't and she got about 20 different bras for me to try which was great as usually I am lucky if there is one ugly Grandma one in my size. She was young and fun not one of these awkward middle aged women with A cups who just make you feel weird and try to sell you bras that don't fit. She was truthfull and wouldn't let me buy anything that didn't fit. Also, we picked out some sexy corsets and stuff and whenever Alice and i both agreed that something looked good she was very abliging to let my boyfriend in to look. The quality is fantastic and the stuff is actually nice and sexy!!!!!!!! Underwire that goes to where it's meant to and cups that hold up your boobs and no tiny little straps that don't do anything or really awkward thick ones that are hard to hide. I used to cry everytime I went bra shopping becuase no one could find anything to fit and would presure me into things and just make me feel like a freak. Now I am so excited to go back!!!! Prices and around the $80-$130 mark but with big boobs thats pretty normal. I

Approximate cost: $80-$130

This review is for City Garden Hotel, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 30 Sep 2012

My boyfriend and I stay up in the city frequently and try to not spend too much as he is a student and I am saving. I booked 2 nights at the City Garden Hotel through lastminute.com and paid just over $100 per night for a studio room with a courtyard view.
Well...my courtyad view was a window in the bathroom that had to be held open with a piece of string and the courtyard itself was just a rectangular gap between rooms with bird poo and cobwebs everywhere. The window also looked straight into other guests bedrooms and bathrooms. The only other window was back in the main room but was above our heads. The bathroom was new but the shower was so dirty and digusting that we went and purchased bleech so we wouldn't catch anything. The paint in the bathroom was also peeling off and there were about 100 large mould spots behind the door. The bed was as hard as a rock but not the worst part of the room. The tv was smaller than the average computer screen with cords hanging everywhere and did not have HD channels. The walls were very thin and you could hear other people talking very clearly. We also heard someone having rather loud relations which just topped off our stay. Being young people it seemed to scary to confront the manager to ask for our money back and, not to seem racist, but the reception workers we encounted were both Asains and they do have a stigma around them for being greedy. I didn't want us to be stranded without a place to stay and possably without a refund. I will never ever stay here again and will definalty take action if I happen across another place like this. Also the room was quoted to be between 30 and 40 square meters. We would have been lucky if it were 15 square meters.

Approximate cost: $100 per night
