This was the worst place I have ever eaten and I was so sick afterwards. I ordered a chicken and avocado creamy pasta that came out at first with no avocado and with oil floating through it. And a few bites confirmed that it was disgusting. I would have taken it back to the counter, except the manager was shouting at the cooking staff, so I resolved to go hungry. My partner ordered a curry dish on the menu, that had no flavour or spice. When the waiter came around to check on us, we explained the problem with the dish and he offered to make us another one, when I said I would rather not, he insisted. The next dish came out with a heap of avocado but it still had oil floating in the cream sauce. I ate a few more bites, but it wasnt any better. Those few bites were enough to give me food poisoning however. There are many better options in the area and worth avoiding.

We stumbled across this pub when driving through the Dandenongs one day looking for a place for lunch. It was good value for money and I had the spinach crepes which were surprisingly delicious! Well worth a stop off if you are in the area.

I was so disapointed when we visited here. My partner and I had both spent time as kids visiting this pub and always enjoyed eating on the balcony outside where birds would come up to you. Unfortunately, they decided to close the balcony in, so while you can see outside and look directly onto puffing billy, the birds are gone. The food was expensive for what it was - $18 for a sweet potato salad that was all mushy and gross although my partner was more impressed with his chicken dish. It is just a shame what theyve done to the place - it used to be a great place to eat and look out onto the dandenongs.

Great value here, as you can pick up a cake or snacks for afternoon tea quite cheaply. I got a traditional jam roll for $4 that served 5 of us well. They are friendly, make great looking treats and most importantly - they taste delicious! My only wish is that they made more allergy sensitive options as I am lactose intolerant.

While the services and medicines offered can be expensive, they are very keen here to find out what is making you sick. I visited for medical reasons, and they sent me off for blood tests and put me on a special diet to start me feeling better. They discovered a few things my GP hadnt, and while I am not 100% better yet, I am feeling a lot healthier.

Good salon - it offers all the usual waxing services and is reasonably priced. My only complaint perhaps is that she wasnt as thorough doing my eyebrows as I would have liked. Didn't do the usual "check" with the client before finishing. But it is in an easily accessible location, well priced and they are friendly so I will return - just will know to ask to see next time.

Great salon with very reasonable prices. I see Megan there, but all of the girls working there are very good. They can do a range of cuts and colours, and are honest in telling you the best look for you.

The food was good and decently priced, but nothing spectacular. You can get a good parma, bowl of pasta and a glass of wine to match. You will need to sign in, however, before entering the bistro. Getting a table to eat there also shouldn't be an issue - the two times we have eaten there the restaurant was only half full.

Approximate cost: $26
