This review is for National Pharmacies - Croydon, Croydon VIC

verified email - 09 Dec 2011

This is my favorite pharmacy in the Croydon area and even though I have another pharmacy closer and more convenient to my home I still trek up to this one for all my pharmacy needs. The staff are fantastic and one (don't know her name) remembers that I had issues with my blood pressure and always asks how it's going. They always give helpful advice and fantastic personalised service. Love the small gifts section they have too - i buy lots of presents for family and friends here too.

The wait times are ridiculous most of the time but that's what you get for a bulk billing clinic I suppose. Some of the doctors are good but some are so so (especially the ones that don't speak English very well)- it's luck of the draw really. The reception staff are some of the worst I have seen with NO customer service skills what so ever. I don't like going here at all and avoid it at all costs but it's free and the hours are convenient. If there was another good alternative in the area I would go there for sure.

This review is for Sweet Chilli Thai Restaurant, Heathmont VIC

The best coconut rice and roti bread around! Have not been able to find better anywhere so far. Lovely staff but the restaurant at peak times can be very loud so don't go there if you want to chat intimately with someone. Had my Mum's 50th birthday there a few years ago and I cannot praise the staff's organisation and attention to detail on the night any higher. Fantastic - go there and try the food for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

Love this place. Food is great and take away is always quick to be cooked, no matter how busy the restaurant is. Eat in is also a treat. Great coconut rice and green Thai curry (I always order the same as I can't go past those dishes). Love the new shop front make-over too - makes the place look really classy. Keep up the great work.

This review is for Casalinga Italian and Swiss Restaurant, Croydon VIC

I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant. It has real potential but I think they are trying to cram too many people into the restaurant and hence not having enough time and staff to look after their customers. After we sat down were asked to get up again so they could re-arrange the tables to fit more people in. Then it took over an hour to receive our meals and the second round of drinks we ordered never arrived and they tried to charge us for them. They removed the drinks once we kicked up a fuss but it would have never happened if they had of had less customers or more staff on. Food was average - I liked my pasta meal but the girls I was with thought their meals were rather average. I might try Casalinga again one day to see if there has been any improvement but for now I cannot recommend them to anyone over any other restaurant in the area.

The amount of positive reviews on LPC is amazing - need I say more??! This is a fantastic service. I have used them twice now and the lovely Kaye has looked after our cats so well. Between their various medications, diets and naughty behavior she did extremely well at looking after them all. I came home to happy, content and well cats. If I had of put them into the cattery again they would have been a mess when we got home and I enjoyed our holidays much more not worrying about them. Cannot recommend this business highly enough. Great price too - beats any cattery hands (or paws) down!

This review is for Le Beaute Salon, Croydon North VIC

I went to this salon for multiple treatments prior to my wedding in May. They were great with advice and didn't try to get me to spend more money than I had to. Justine was my favorite therapist - she does the best spray tans! Nails for my wedding day were not to my liking (can't remember the girl who did them but she needed a little more training) but I am pretty fussy! The facials were good but there is a lot of noise from the other clients rooms that kind of wreck it for a relaxation point of view. Perhaps a bigger salon would be a good idea with more space between treatment rooms? I also had a Brazilian wax - the girl did a great job at waxing and making me feel comfortable (as comfortable as you can be having a wax down there! ;p) Great place to go at a good price.

Never pay full price again for your cosmetics! Great site that i hope will encourage retailers to take a long hard look at their inflated prices. Orders are sent out super quick and love the discounts you get for subsequent purchases and orders.

This review is for Realistic Roof Tiling Service, Kilsyth VIC

We called Kevin about two leaking skylights during the week and he was out first thing on Saturday and fixed them up. We had a bit of rain that weekend and noticed one was still leaking a tiny bit. Kevin was straight back out and fixed it up and we have had no problems since - even in that huge storm we had last month. Price to fix this problem was great too - very surprised it was so little. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Realistic Roof Tiling Service at all.

Approximate cost: $90.00

This review is for Debbie O'Neill Freelance Design, Croydon Hills VIC

If you live in the Eastern Suburbs and need flowers for your wedding I wouldn't bother looking any further - you have found the best in Debbie O'Neill! The flowers she did for my wedding were stunning. I had a guest at my wedding who had worked in a couple of florist shops say they were the most stunning flowers she had ever seen! She worked to my theme (autumn) so well and given some room to do her own thing Debbie surprised me at how well she knows her stuff. I also got her to decorate my reception and the chapel, it looked better than I could have ever imagined. Give Debbie a call now and book her in as she is very busy (understandably)! My only small gripe was that she is just so busy that you have to wait a little to have her return emails and phone calls but a small price to pay to have the most amazing flowers for your wedding day.

Approximate cost: $1,600
