I wish I could tick more stars that available in the rating system!
Wandin Vet is the place to take your vets in the local area for appropriate, considerate and well priced advice. I have taken my dog here since he was 7 weeks old, attended pre-puppy school and regularly attended the vet for advice without being treated other than being a very caring owner. My dog is a large breed, and can be intimidating due to size and breed (and let not forget that there are other dogs in the waiting room that he wants to play with!) however Naresh and his staff show true understanding and ggenuine care for my dog that cannot be faulted.

Approximate cost: $50+ per visit

After phoning over 15 sunglasses stockist across Melbbourne in search of a paarticular code/style of Ray Bans, I called these guys and spoke with Emily. She was bright and attentative and although they did not have this model in stock she quickly offered to order them in for me; not one other stockist had evn offered! After providing my details, while I was on the phone she also checked the Ray Ban website and described the ones I was after to double check,
5 minutes after completing the call Emily phoned back to let me know that when ordering them in she had noticed that there were 2 different sizes but not to worry she would order both in for me (at no cost) and I could decide when I came to see them and collect.
On collection the transaction was smooth and Emily was lovely to deal with.. Would certainly go back there again for similar products.`

Approximate cost: $300

Made an appointment for Grand Final Sat morning, wasn't an issue for the boys to complete fit, balance and align with tyres I provided. The manager did provide some advice which was appreciated regarding the aftermarket rims and tyres I had chosen but did not try to up-sell for other products.

Approximate cost: $20 per tyre

Regular user of their service for both of our vehicles. Find all the workers and manager/owner to be lovely and trust worthy. Excellent work and always willing to go the extra mile. Their rewards program is great. Hghly recommend during busy Christmas shopping times to try them out - at least you will have a car park!

Approximate cost: $30-60

Dined here on a Monday night, looking for an alternative to Hog's breath style food. Place was quiet although there were probably about 25 people dining at the time. The waitress was very attentative including taking our drinks order promptly and not minding when we asked for a couple more miuntes to check out the extensive menu. Lots of different steaks to choose from which is great although can then become confusing. Enjoyed Chilli Con Carne and Bush peppered Calamari for entree; both dishes were amazing in taste and size then we had a chicken parma and steak both of which were so good that we couldn't eat the accompanying chips and salad! Next time maybe just go for mains!

Approximate cost: $25-35

Visit to this detnist was the first time in 10 years. I don't normally have an issue with dentists however a previous trip caused me to be a little wary hence the length of time between visits. Found these guys via a web search and needed someting close to work. They are extremely upfront about cost which is something that you don't normally find and there seemed to be no hidden costs. Full check up incl. multiple x-rays = $95 (after health insurance rebate, $178 before) which is a reasonable cost.
On arrival felt like i was at home and the receptionist was very calming and friendly.
Once in the chair the lovely Maryam gave my mouth a thorough looking over and then took the time to ask questions and discuss options available. The options were certainly not outrageous, in fact were on the conservative side rather than over treating. Have previously had a quote to complete works that exceeded $4K and would have the potential of causing issues down the track!!
Very happy to discuss exact costs of the treatment and happily booked in for 2 more appointments on departure.
They are also open 7 days a week with long ours which makes it easier to accomodate an appointment for those who work.
Im actually looking forward to heading back and having the much required treatment and preventative work completed to one of our body's greatest assets!

Approximate cost: $95

Went to this place for lunch on a weekday, whilst the only space was in the upstairs (mezzanine type area) it was a nice spot. We got there just as the lunch rush was ending and were tending to by some lovely wait staff who looked happy with genuine smiles on their faces! Had a chicken salad and a glass of wine and then a coffee. All were excellent in taste and I thought very reasonably priced considering Port Melb is an area which can be quite expensive. They were also happy to accomodate my lunch date who has dietary requirements. Will happily return there as a half way meeting place.

Excellent service with top quality repair work. A busy work shop that prides itself on delivering the goods its says it will. Nothing was too difficult and the cost quoted was reasonable, after it was explained the extent of what was actually required to repair vehicle.

The meals at Platinum were lovely although it was let down by the service. I had previously been to this restaurant before it re-opened and in the past had a bit more of an upmarket feel...the young girl who served us was polite and cheery however i felt that she needed more support to understand excellent customer service delivery. That said i will definitely go back again

Great hairdressing salon with a great vibe! Reasonable pricing. Always full of locals getting their hair tended to and this has to say something given that there are multiple options in the local vacinity
