This review is for Your Gym, Surrey Hills VIC

verified email - 03 Aug 2014

This is a good little facility but it gets too busy and the staff are normally either distracted on the computer or getting coffee downstairs. It's hard to get on a piece of equipment at peak hour and the small weights area is dominated by guys flexing their muscles in front of the mirror. The classes are great but the back room can get a little heated in summer when groups are large. Probably a good option if you work out early morning or during the day.

This review is for The Palace Hotel, South Melbourne VIC

Definitely one of the best pubs around. It's been redone recently with the owners of Great Northern Hotel in North Carlton taking over. It feels like a local with an informal dining area, a fire in winter and Thursday night trivia. The best part is the amount of craft beer options on tap, so many options that I find myself coming back here every other week to sample a new one. Great place just a stone's throw from the CBD.

This is a great little pizza place. Call them up and it will be ready in 10 minutes. The pizza is yum and very cheap - a medium margherita will only set you back $11! There is even a gluten free option. Would definitely recommend this place.

Love this place! I've been coming here every month for nearly four years now. The staff are super friendly, knowledgable and driven by delivering a beautiful end to end customer experience. As soon as you walk in they will offer you a cup of tea or hot chocolate in winter. The rooms are relaxing and very private with soft music and a beautiful aroma. For my eyebrows they over twenty minutes waxing, plucking and measuring to ensure that everything is perfect. It's an amazing little salon (just don't expect to find parking).

The staff here are extremely rude, the prices are way too expensive and options are very limited. Would not come back here again unless there was an emergency of some sort.

This review is for The Italian Waiters Club, Melbourne VIC

One of Melbourne's hidden gems. The Waiter's Club is a great place for lunch or dinner and you will always get value for money.

The portions are huge, the wine is served in tumblers and the decor is right out of the 1970s. Very unassuming, it's one of Melbourne's best Italian options.

Be sure to try out the Porsini risotto.

This review is for Patricia Coffee Brewers, Melbourne VIC

Patricia Coffee Brewers is an old legal office that has been transformed into one of the best coffee places in the city. Standing room only, you will find knowledgable baristas on one side of the bar and suits on the other. The coffee is absolutely exquisite and the choices are simple: black or white coffee. Perfect for a walking meeting.
