Jamaca Blue is a great cafe with amazing coffee and all day breakfast. Offers a variety of hot and cold food, including cakes. The customer service has been varied but most of the time they are great. They only made a mistake once with giving my table number to another customer as well and our meals were given to wrong table. The food is in my opinion pretty expensive for the serving sizes. I expected double the amount on my plate and had to order another meal with the main meal price. I only go for breakfast and coffee or cake cause their prices on the hot food is outrageous. The location of cafe is sometimes annoying with Best n Less having loud speaker sales people talking (not at any fault of cafe but annoying)

This review is for Fairfield Pizza, Fairfield VIC

This pizza joint is great in value but expect the cheaper side of pizza as average. The crust is usually thin and the sides are very crunchy. Seeing that the base is so thin they are not so generous with the topping but suits the type of pizza you get. The garlic bread is quite nice and better than most places. 2 Large Pizza pick up $19 - way cheaper if you pick up. Customer service could improve immensely as the guy who served me didn't even look me in the eye. I order early in the night as I have small children so it wasn't because they were busy. He actually looked a bit grumpy. If your looking for cheap pizza this is the place, looking for really nice pizza go somewhere else.

I really love this place, in summer you have a great big beer garden to relax in with shade sails and trees around the the fence line, winter a nice warm fire to keep you warm with nice big comfy chairs. Wednesday night is trivia night for those who like quizzes, a pool table to just chill out around with your mates, big screens to watch any important sport game on and a nice quiet area at the front for a more private eating area. The meals have always been great and the prices are reasonable. There is an atm at this location making it a one stop place after work without needing to go to the bank.

Been here a few times, the service was ok, the food was great but the place just seems overcrowded every time I have been here. The toilets are something you don't really want to go in either. The balcony section usually gets so crowded with smokers that people who want to just get some fresh air don't get it. Seen a few fights break out at the front of this place but always felt safe having security on the door.

This review is for Northcote Plaza Veterinary Clinic, Northcote VIC

I have been taking my furry little friends to this vet for 5 years. The vet is quite small and if there are a few people in waiting room and can become very squishy. Especially if a big dog is also waiting which there always seems to be when I am in there. The staff are great here and seem to love what they are doing. My dogs walk right in to this vet (others they have freeze right at door) so this always a great sign that my dogs are comfortable. Waiting times are usually less than 10 minutes with only 1 time waiting for a while, however I do not think it was so much their fault as I think an emergency case came in. I really like coming to this vet.

This review is for PINCHme, Rushcutters Bay NSW

I loved PinchMe at the start, who wouldn't when you could claim a sample every day because they had samples up everyday however with the website being so popular something had to give and eventually their supply of samples has dwindled, however once a week is still great, we are after all talking about a free sampling website wih no cost to the customer at all. I have been lucky enough to try so many products through PinchMe some I have loved nd some were just meh, but a good way to get new or old products in peoples faces. I do think however that their facebook page is full of people complaining which is a huge turn off to communicate with them through this venue. I think good job.

Discovering this website has made my decisions on places easier to make. My husband and I love to try new places and with this great website been able to find new places to try and some to avoid, not only that I have been able to put my opinion of places out there, which I love cause when a business does me wrong/or given me great service I love to rave on. I think sometimes my friends think I am a salesperson for places sometimes.

This review is for Casa Bella Cafe & Restaurant, Preston VIC

It all depends with this place, but even if the place is not packed the service is average. I have witnessed food sitting there waiting for a waiter to collect to serve to costumers for a long time. The food is so so and nothing to rave on about. If the prices were lower then the value would match the food. I have also been in there while a band was playing and could hardly hear myself think not to mention the people I was with. Also noted that the table for 2 people to sit at are quite small and there is not enough table space for 2 plates and drinks. They should seriously invent in bigger tables so customers can feel more relaxed and less squishy.

This review is for Melbourne Zoo, Parkville VIC

verified email - 06 Sep 2013

I would only say that the value of this zoo is 4 stars is because I have a membership which allows me entry to 3 zoos, and allows my son to be on it for free. Otherwise the zoo is quite expensive. However getting the the zoo has always been easy with either going by car or train (which is just at the door step of the zoo) With parking only costing $2 for 5 hours this is great value and shows they are not willing to overcharge on parking. The staff here are great and personable. The elephant enclosures are great displaying 3 sections to have a look from. The zoo is currently under maintenance (August 2013) which made the zoo not as fun to get round or sitting down for lunch (with noisy tools) The last 3 times I have gone the hippos have always been laying down in the far distance, would be nice if there was a way to see these animals better (especially when Master 3 is dying to see certain animals) Some of the walking tracks isn't really pram friendly, with the wheels sometimes getting caught in holes etc. As a member I would like more information delivered to my email about activities going on at the zoo. Or even a suggestion of a schedule of events so we don't miss out on feeding times etc.

This review is for Ivanhoe Medical Clinic, Ivanhoe VIC

This has been my local doctors for 7 years. This clinic does not bulk bill unless you have a health care card so expect to be charged for your visit. Depending on the doctor you see will depend on how long you wait past your scheduled appointment time, however most doctors in this clinic only will run a max 10 minutes behind. All doctors in this clinic are very professional and make you feel comfortable. The waiting area is big and spacious with only a small amount for a child to play with. They have a pathology section within this clinic so needing to go elsewhere for tests is unnecessary. Fees are about the same as other clinics. This clinic also has a wide variety of specialists visiting on selected days during the week so you are able to see a specialist within your own clinic. However the specialist is not part of the clinic and will incur a fee much higher than the clinic rates. There is a number you can call 24/7 for medical attention, I have never needed this service so unsure on the quality of this service.
