When I asked my daughter where she wanted to go for her 12th birthday it was "that place we took Grandpa for his birthday". All you can eat buffet is sooo appealing to a 12 year old and you can be she took advantage of the all you can eat! The food is replenished regularly and of pretty good standard. No complaints from me!

We've had many a ladies night at Cocomo's, the staff are very accommodating and friendly. There is always a great selection of food from woodfired pizzas to modern Australian dishes. Last time we went they had a special on a selection of parma's which were more than we could eat. We're back there on Friday for yet another ladies might, good atmosphere to catch up with great friends.

This is the second year I have gone here to have my tax return completed and have never been so rudely treated as a customer, I got 2 different story's from 2 staff members. I employ an accountant to act in my best financial interest and they most certainly did not, in fact acted to my detriment, I will not be back.

It would be very easy to walk past this place and not give it a second thought.DIM SIMS to die for, not your average shape but extremely delicious. The spring rolls were pretty yummy as well, lots of flavour. I'm still curious as to what the fried wontons were I received ..flat fried square pieces of pastry, but you can't win the, all. Wouldn't bother eating in but definitely worth a snack attack fix! We buy the dim sims frozen and take them home for later enjoyment!

This review is for The Tyre Factory Ferntree Gully, Ferntree Gully VIC

A german shepherd lying on a mat in the front didn't even lift his head when we walked in, Just like the staff, we wandered around and even waited at the service desk for some assistance. There were no other customers, but one staff member idly chatting on the phone with his feet up and coffee in hand did not even acknowledge us. Disgusted at the lack of service we left, as we got into the car the coffee drinking phone chatter came running out after us, then another 2 staff members appeared from nowhere! There are more than enough tire places situated on a 2k stretch of Burwood Highway keen to attract business and offer good customer service. We wouldn't bother going back.

Every time one of my animals gets sick or injured its out of business hours! I googled 7 day a week vets and found this to be the closest open on a Sunday. They stayed open until I got there, efficiently looked after my beloved adventurous dog who had fallen through a skylight! They were very informative, and helpful, no major damage to my dog and we walked away satisfied with this vet. I don't think it matters where you go petcare is expensive.

I recently purchased an inverter for my car for a trip to QLD. It never worked, I returned it as a warranty claim and told they will contact me to let me know whether they will replace or refund if the goods are faulty. It was a month later that I realised I had not been contacted so I rang them and was told I could get a replacement or refund! Would they have called me ?? I think not, very poor return service when you have to chase it up yourself!

This review is for Shiraaz Indian Restaurant, Upper Ferntree Gully VIC

Not a bad little restaurant but a bit slow on providing meals even though they were not booked out. I ordered a gin and tonic (I'm sure they had to run to Maxifoods for the tonic water it took that long) The gin and tonic was in the smallest glass I've ever been served in a restaurant and was full of ice and lemon, not sure if there was even gin in it!. The food was ok, the spinach chicken was so swamped in spinach I struggled to find the actual chicken. I came away full and satisfied but I've had much better Indian.

This review is for Luna Park Melbourne, St Kilda VIC

Come on Luna Park, time to get with the times! After visiting all the worlds in Queensland Luna Park is totally disappointing, outdated, tired and expensive for what they offer. How about some real thrill rides? Its a little bit sad that Melbourne's "premier" amusement park is so antiquated.

This review is for Benson's Cafe & Foodstore, Belgrave VIC

We went to Benson's for lunch today. It wasn't overly busy and the waitress seated us promptly and took our order for meal and drinks. The drinks came and we waited and waited for our meal. Second round of drinks came before the meal. One waitress with the cafe to about half capacity. When our meals finally came out they had obviously been sitting in the kitchen for some time. Everything was room temperature. When the manager cleared out plates he asked how the food was and we mentioned it was tasty but would have been good it it was hot. In all fairness he did offer us a free coffee or cake in compensation and the coffee was not too bad at all. I would say to management cut costs on staff and the quality of your food suffers. A bit disappointing all up!

Approximate cost: $15
