I believe this video store has recently changed hands. Regardless I have always found the staff to be very courteous and helpful. Sometimes I feel the DVD's stay too long under new release but otherwise a great video store.

Approximate cost: $5

I have had mixed experiences at Brew. The food in the cabinets is brought in run of the mill stuff (nothing special). I have enjoyed most of the food I have ordered (mostly breakfast) but made the mistake of booking on a very busy day (mother's day) last year. Basically our order got lost and we ended up waiting approx 2 hrs and when the food finally arrived it was extemely bad and just slapped together. We weren't given any compensation for the one of the worst breakfasts I have ever eaten out and still charged approx $50. I have not been able to bring myself to go back there since. If the owner had apologised and taken off a coupe of the meals I would have forgiven this but he did not handle it well at all. Also previous to this I had found the service to be very hit and miss anyway.

This review is for Zests Pizza, Murrumbeena VIC

Honestly I can't rave about the pizza at Zests like the other reviews but here is my honest opinion. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The pizza however I have only found to be average. It has lots of that cheap ham (I guess depending on what you order). Have ordered a few pizza's which were extremely greasy also. It is not the worst pizza I have ordered but not really anything to write home about.

Approximate cost: $20

Great neighborhood restaurant with great dishes and friendly staff. It is a bit noisy due to the acoustics but overall a great restaurant.

Great curries and always polite and happy to deliver. I think they are made in bulk and reheated???? but still they taste great. Starters are very hit and miss and dipping sauce is just yuck.

Approximate cost: $12

Great for kids as they have free entertainment on Friday and Saturday night but can get really mad with kids everywhere. Food is a bit hit and miss, the roast can be good and then other times very bad. Only go here for the kids it certainly isn't fine dining.

This review is for Red Poppy Bakery, Hughesdale VIC

I love to support local businesses but only if they are worth supporting. The food in this bakery can by old and very overpriced. The white loaf does not taste nice and the service can be shocking. Went to buy a bagette and the lady made 4 coffees for the person in front of me which took approximately 10 minutes and did not even acknowledge me standing there. (There is a younger lady with long hair who wears it in a ponytail however who is very friendly). The food is also quite pricey for what it is and a friend brought some banana cake which had mould in it so you take your chances how fresh it is going to be.
