This review is for Black Lime Restaurant & Lounge, Ringwood VIC

verified email - 25 Jan 2012

Was really excited to try this place and was very disappointed. food was very average, took a long time to come out (the place wasn't even a quarter full) and the staff were average. I have heard similar from other friends who have tried it too with no better experiences to report. I like to give places a second chance but with other lovely restaurants in the area 'doing it right', I know where I want to spend my hard earned dollar on a meal - anywhere but Black Lime.

This review is for Lindos, Ringwood VIC

A favorite restaurant for myself and my husband. Has changed hands many times but usually seems the same each time we go. Food is consistently good and well priced. Only complaint is the noise levels - not sure if it's the building or people just talking loudly but it's hard to have a conversation with your table every time.

This review is for IKEA, Springvale VIC

The Springvale store is sooooo much better than the Richmond one. The store is less crowded, parking is free and it's very easy to find a park. We live about the same distance from both stores and I will never be going back to the Richmond one again. Big fan of Ikea products and this new store. Bought a new dining table and chairs - looks great and was a great price!

Approximate cost: $630

This review is for Silver Spit Roast, Montrose VIC

We had Silver Spit Roast cater our Engagement party. From start to finish they were fantastic. We could not fault them or their accommodating and friendly staff. We had a lovely time and all of our family were able to enjoy the night as everything was taken care of for us - clean up included. The meat was fantastic - done to perfection! I have had other spit roast meals and nothing compares to the tenderness of a Silver Spit Roast! The crackle and the cous cous salad was a favorite among our guests - some still talk about the food from that night! I also thought the price was also very reasonable for such a great service. I would certainly recommend Silver Spit Roast for any special function.

This review is for Croydon Pet Hospital, Croydon VIC

Moving into the area 2 years ago I was very wary of changing my cats vet but Croydon Pet Hospital have been great. Unfortunately, we spend a lot of time and money there with our special 3 cats and their ill health but CPH do all they can to manage their symptoms and monitor their health. A special mention to Sarah who has been wonderful at giving advice over the phone, doing all that she can to fit us in with appointments at the last minute and getting medication to us quickly. CPH you have a great staff member in Sarah.

This review is for Facelifts for Kitchens, Bayswater VIC

verified email - 12 Jan 2012

We have just given our kitchen a facelift using Facelifts For Kitchens. I cannot fault their work or tradesmen but as mentioned in other reviews for this business the communication and follow up is lacking. I would be happy to use them again as they have done the job well (most important thing) and our kitchen looks great.

Approximate cost: $10,000

This review is for Sandton Hair Gallery, Warrandyte VIC

verified email - 12 Jan 2012

I have bought products from Sandton and have had my hair done for a special occasion and on both accounts they have been fantastic. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they go to great lengths to make sure you are happy. I have a hairdresser friend who cuts and colours my hair but if I even need a back up salon then there's no question as to where I go - Standton!

This review is for Sacred Art, Doncaster VIC

verified email - 09 Dec 2011

Adele at Sacred Art did an amazing job with our wedding invitations! We had so many compliments from our guests and even strangers! Adele accommodated my every request and even made our place card settings, menus, seating chart and well wishing cards. Everything was of great quality and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for original and quality stationery for any occasion.

This review is for Azza's Plumbing And Gasfitting, Ferntree Gully VIC

I cannot recommend Aaron and his business highly enough. He has been out to our place a few times now and he has proven himself to be very knowledgeable and experienced. He has solved a few plumbing issues for us and always charges fairly and has lots of common sense advice to give. He likes to fully explain what your issue is and how he can fix it and makes sure you understand (which is great for women and non trades people). We will be sure to call Aaron again soon when our next plumbing issue arises.

Great cosy place to have a meal in the colder months- open fires are fantstic and give a warm atmosphere! Breakfasts are great and staff are friendly.
