Joel did a number of jobs for me, including hanging some doors, building a step & hand rails on my deck, building a bath hob & leveling my bathroom walls. He was able to come by at short notice when I really needed help. He is very affordable and does a good job. I will definitely be using his services again.

I have been to this café many times. Each time the food & service was fantastic. The quality of the food is great and I love the coffee. The food is a couple of dollars more expensive than what you'd pay at other cafes for similar meals but I personally think it's worth it. I love the music they play, usually blues or very relaxing stuff.

Lucas was quick to reply to my email & came round the next day to give a quote for fixing a couple of garden taps. No fuss & was reasonably priced.

I had lunch here on the weekend with family for my birthday. The food was delicious. I ordered the chicken breast & could only eat half it was so filling. I was so full after lunch I didn't feel like having dinner. It's not cheap but not super expensive. I'd say the price is about right for the quality of the food. The staff were friendly. They seemed to appear just at the right time to take orders & clear plates away. I'd definitely choose this restaurant for special occassions again.

Approximate cost: $30

I've been here a couple of times & each time the food was delicious. The meals are huge & reasonably priced. The Black Lime breakfast in particular was great. The seating is comfy & the music not too loud. I was saddened to hear the business has been sold. Hopefully the new owners don't change the menu & keep up the quality of the food.

Approximate cost: $17

I just needed some washing machine taps installed & Michael was recommeded to me. He was quite busy so it took several days to fit me in. He finished the job quickly with no fuss & charged me less than what he originally quoted, which was great.

Approximate cost: $270

I have taken many of my dogs here over the years & the level of service is always fantastic. All the staff are very friendly & knowledgeable. I'd recommend them to anyone. The only time I take my dogs elsewhere is if I can't get a last minute appointment.

This review is for All-Vic Bin Hire, Melbourne VIC

I hired 6m skip from these guys who I chose as they were the cheapest I could find. Big mistake! They said they would drop the bin off at 8am, didn't turn up until 10am. After confirming on 3 separate occasions that the bin would be collected on saturday, they then picked it up a day early when no-one was home.

Not only had I not finished filling the bin, but I had paid extra to put building waste in it i.e. concrete & bricks. I'm now left with a huge pile of bricks & concrete sitting in the middle of my bedroom that I don't know what to do with.

They were extremely rude when I called to ask them why they had picked it up a day early. They basically said that it wasn't their problem that I hadn't finished with the bin.

I would NEVER use these scumbags again & definitely do not recommend them. If I could give them 0 stars I would.

Approximate cost: $280

This review is for Bear Bottom Building and Pest Inspections, Highett VIC

I needed a last minute building inspection of a house in Ferntree Gully the day of the auction and Edward was able to help.

Because it was last minute, there wasn't enough time to write up a report before the auction so he went through all the problems one by one going through the house. The level of detail was amazing, especially compared to other building inspectors we have used in the past.

Edward promply emailed the report the next morning. We didn't end up getting the house but it was useful to see the amount of detail in the written report & it was definitely money well spent. It opened our eyes to the amount of work which was needed on the house & prevented us paying more than it was worth.

We will definitely be using his services again when we find the right house.

I can't recommend Bear Bottom Inspections enough!

Approximate cost: $359

I went for dinner with family & the food & service was fantastic. They are doing an opening special of $29.95 for all you can eat.

We tried almost everything on the menu & there wasn't one thing I didn't like. My favourites were probably the grilled beef with creamy mushroom sauce, Nama Shii Hotate & for dessert I liked the Yaki Daifuku.

I will definitely be going back again, even when they stop running the special.
