This review is for Sun Theatre, Yarraville VIC

verified email - 02 May 2012

I really like the Sun Theatre. Good range of films and the atmosphere is great - I love how it's old school, right down to the seats! All that said, I'll never see another 3D film there again. The boys and I went to see Thor there in 3D and none of the glasses we had worked. I grabbed another 6 pairs from the cart outside (there were 3 of us and I was trying to increase my chances of finding some that worked), but to no avail, so we had to watch the movie and just put up with the blurriness. When I Mentioned it to the staff however they were very apologetic and immediately offered us free tickets, which restored a lot of my faith. So even though I still avoid it for 3D, I prefer to see my 2D films at this unique and excellent theatre.

This review is for Love It Furniture, Williamstown VIC

This is a really great store. They sell everything from artwork (mostly by Anna Blatman) to furniture (which can get pretty expensive but then the quality of it is excellent) to little knick-knacky things that make awesome quirky gifts. I've purchased a lot of things from Love it, from art to salt and pepper grinders to book ends. Always happy with the product and the service provided. The girls in the store always bend over backwards to assist. If you are looking for a shop that offers a great range then Love it is for you.

This review is for Williamstown Books, Williamstown VIC

Great little bookstore. Well laid out and with a surprisingly good selection. And cheap! Most books are $10 with some priced at $5. Whenever I walk in I always walk out with at least 1 book.

Approximate cost: $10

Best fish and chips in Williamstown bar none. Top quality fish and reasonable prices. Never had a problem with the staff - they are young but always courteous. Worth the effort to get to.

This review is for Bopha Devi, Yarraville VIC

The downside to Bopha Devi is the lack of space inside. But that's it. Everything else about it is fantastic. If you've never had cambodian then you need to get to yarravile and go to this restaurant. If you have had Cambodian before, you still need to get to this restaurant. I've been to Cambodia and the food there was delicious, and Bopha Devi is at least as good as that. 10 out of 10 for taste!

This review is for Qorraj Hairdressing, Williamstown VIC

You are guaranteed to get a great hair cut at Qorraj. The girls there are consummate professionals and take great care and pride in what they do. My wife put me onto them and now my whole family goes there to get their hair done. I've never been disappointed with a cut that I've received there.

This review is for Odd Spot Cafe, Newport VIC

The Odd Spot is a great local cafe. Seating is tight, even with on street seating, but the atmosphere is warm and the staff are very friendly. The coffee is good (and the milkshakes are awesome!), and the breakfasts there are generous in their portion sizes. A great place to spend some time with good friends!

This review is for Malt And Vine, Newport VIC

This tiny bottle store is jam packed with a great selection of wines and an even better selection of boutique beers. The staff are friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the products they sell. The prices are reasonable and the service is good. It's a great place to buy your beer and wine.

This review is for Minotaur, Melbourne VIC

This store is my nerdvana. Their range of scifi and fantasy books is excellent, as are their comics and collectables. The store layout isn't great and the staff can sometimes be helpful, and sometimes not, and the prices of their graphic novels and figurines and stuff can be on the wrong side of expensive (books are generally the same price as other booksellers though), but if you are after an unusual gift, or just want to do what I do a lot of the time and just go in and bask in the glory of all things geeky, then this is definitely the place for you.

This review is for Newport Bakery Cafe, Newport VIC

verified email - 30 Apr 2012

I'm a big fan of this bakery, mainly because of their pies! I love my pies and these are some of the best I've ever had. The pastry is a yellow flaky variety which just adds to the taste. Try the beef and cheese - its my favourite. The rest of the food on offer is basic but tasty. Best of all it's very competitively priced.
