My 2 boys love their swimming lessons here (Swordy tots & one level up). The instructors make the lessons fun & the kids love them. Both went from 6 months & the lessons are appropriate & teach water safety. All other staff are friendly & helpful. Fees are reasonable & what you'd pay anywhere else. They do themed weeks & lessons & hold events. Plus if you pay your fees early they have a prize draw (free lessons etc) and if you recommend a friend & they take up lessons, you both get a discount off that term!

Ate here for the first time this week and I will be back! Great food - so much to choose from and every dish that came out of the kitchen looked yummy. I had the BBQ pork in XO sauce & it was delicious. Big portion sizes too. Great prices (my main course was $12!). Service was good, friendly & no problem if you ask questions. The venue is a good size, clean, light with open kitchen. Easy to park out the front & in the rear car park.

Approximate cost: $12 - 17

Our vet of choice in the area for general check ups & when there is a problem. We've been using them for 3 yrs and each vet we see is thorough & friendly. They have fit us in for an emergency & post us reminders & newsletters.

Have used a few times now & every time my 2 dogs come back smelling lovely & exactly how I wanted their fur cut. Drop off service & she can usually fit us in within a few days. Slight discount for 2 dogs too. Would definitely recommend.

Great Thai restaurant. Have tried it a few times and will definitely be back there soon. Good size restaurant (does get busy so book ahead). Food has always been delicious & the service always good. We took our toddler one night straight from work & they had a high chair and were happy to accommodate him too (it wasn't that busy as it was early).

We tried this place a few weeks ago on a Thursday night. It's a small place & was busy (every table was taken). Decor is very old (wooden panels covered in posters) but the food was good (and good value). We had the special - dips were great (lots of bread). Main was nice. Service however was lacking - one waitress for the whole place (it's small but did have about 50 people in it!) so getting her attention was difficult and even when she was free she wasn't coming over to check if everything was OK. I'd go again for a cheap & cheapfull meal but will probably find other places to go before this one...........

This review is for Shavan's Tandoori Indian Restaurant, Patterson Lakes VIC

One of the best Indian restaurants I've been to (& I've been to a lot) and definitely the best in the area. Food is divine & great friendly service. It is always busy so book in advance, especially for Fri/Sat nights. Good for takeaway too. Looking forward to trying them in their new location (finally!).

Cheap & cheerful. Have used for pedicure, nails & waxing. The owner is an Aussie (and nice to chat to) but all the staff over from overseas & do lack a lot of English! Pedicure & nails for me were good (mainly because there was no talking due to the language barrier) so no idle chit chat. Waxing is a little room out the back and does the job but wouldn't be my first choice of places to go for a wax.

LOVE this hairdressers. Repeat customer for 7.5 years and followed them from Southbank to Richmond. Experimented leaving once which was a disastrous experience (see my other hairdresser review!) and now I'm back. I have never walked away from this Salon not loving my hair. Every time I leave I feel a million dollars, and have loved the experience. They know their stuff & are so polite and friendly. Rose looked after me for 7 years before leaving to have a baby & Eva did an amazing job sorting out my disastrous hair (and not just getting it looking OK but fabulous and something I loved!) & I'm booked back in to see her again. (I only left to try & find something more local to me as I moved an hours drive away).

This review is for My Dream Cake, Hallam VIC

I have used this shop twice now for cake supplies (and planning another trip there!). The owner Michael & his family are super helpful and very knowledgeable. They make cakes as well as sell all the bits & pieces you could possibly need to make your own wonderful creations. I like to make my own cakes so have used them for shopping only but have browsed through their cake book and all their cakes look fantastic. For shopping they have a great range, everything I need (and very helpful with suggestions & finding things for a novice like me who just likes to play at making cakes!). Some of the items are a little more pricey than you'd find online (mainly overseas) - however for the whole range of products they have & to support a local business I don't mind for a few items (and most of it is well priced).
