I've been driving past Main Street for months and months and it's always full. Based on this, as well as the positive reviews on WOMO, I had to try the place out.

I made a booking in advance (just in case there were no tables when we arrived) and the staff were happy to add another seat when our party numbers changed at the last minute.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Even though the place was very busy, we didn't have much trouble getting their attention.

I had a salad with grilled chicken, my sister-in-law had an omelette and my husband had toast with bacon and hash browns on the side. None of us disliked our meals but I personally felt that, for $19.00, my salad was a little on the small side, it was overly dressed and oily, and the grilled chicken portion was really small.

In terms of drinks, I had a yoghurt smoothie which I didn't really like that much (too sour) and my husband thought that his Toblerone hot chocolate was way too sweet. We did have coffee afterwards that we all liked.

We also couldn't go past the cake cabinet, which was filled with delicious looking goodies. I had a mini carrot cake and my sister-in-law had a mini macadamia cheesecake. They were both quite tasty.

All in all, it was a bit hit and miss. Maybe my expectations were just way too high or maybe we were just unlucky. I would give them another go if I had a particular reason to go back but I am disappointed that it wasn't as great as I hoped it would be.

I've been looking for some new Eastern European restaurants in Melbourne for my husband and I to try. I did a search on WOMO and found Kluska. Based on the great reviews, we decided to trek to Dandenong to give it a go.

We arrived for our booking, were seated promptly and given lemon water and menus. The restaurant is clean and homely.

The menu isn't long but, for the first time diner, it makes it a bit easier to choose. We ordered the spinach and ricotta Pierogi and beef Pyzy for entree and the Golabki (cabbage rolls filled with beef/pork mince) and Zrazy (beef rolls stuffed with carrot and cucumber in a peppery sauce) for mains.

The Pierogi and Pyzy took quite a while to get to our table. We were a little worried at first that we had been forgotten but when we received the dishes we understood. These generous servings are made from scratch and come out piping hot (so expect a little bit of a wait time.) They were both absolutely delicious! We especially loved the Pyzy; they are moist and soft, but don't fall apart when you cut into them. We were intrigued as to how they were made.

Our mains came out shortly after. My Golabki serving was HUGE!!! and I had to ask to have half of it put in a doggy bag to take home because I just couldn't finish it (it was delicious and very reminiscent of a similar dish my Bulgarian grandmother used to cook.) My husband's Zrazy was also HUGE!!! and came with potatoes, cauliflower and beet relish. He thought it was delicious.

Even though we were stuffed to the brim, we still managed to squeeze in some dessert. I had the Makowiec (poppy seed cake) and my husband had the Paczek (traditional Polish doughnuts) with coffee. They were a nice, not overly sweet ending to the meal.

The service was friendly but not fast (this may be preferable to those who wish to have a long, lingering meal.) You don't get a sense of being hurried out the door, which is definitely a positive thing. I should also mention that the restaurant is B.Y.O.

Friendly people, nice atmosphere, delicious food and great value for money. We would definitely go back!

After Borders closed down in Australia I found it very difficult to find Moleskine diaries and notebooks. I did a search and found LarryPOST, who sell products from a range of premium brands (including Moleskine) with really cheap postage costs.

I ordered a Moleskine diary and it was shipped within 24 hours. I received it a couple of days later in the post - well packaged and fabulously fast!

Another really cute feature of the LarryPOST site (which I haven't used yet but will certainly consider in the future) is the ability to send surprise gifts - not just to friends, but to complete strangers!!! What a lovely idea!

Highly recommended!

I visited TheIconic.com.au for the first time after a recommendation from a friend. I saw a lovely pair of shoes that was discounted from $110 down to $55, and they actually had my size (the often difficult to find size 10!) That, along with the free shipping/free returns policy, persuaded me to snap them up quick smart! They arrived in the post a few days later; much less hassle than going to a shopping centre. Would definitely purchase from this website again!

Approximate cost: $55

I had my wedding dress cleaned at Syndal's Bridal Dry Cleaners after my wedding in January 2011. My dress got pretty dirty (it poured with rain all day!!! in the middle of Summer!!!) but they managed to clean the dress really well. They were very gentle with the delicate silk fabric to ensure that it wasn't damaged in the cleaning process. I was asked to come in and view my dress after the cleaning was complete and then picked it up the following week in a custom-made storage box.

All in all, I thought it was reasonably good value for money considering the condition of my dress.

Something to note is that you can only pay by cash or bank deposit. I found this to be fairly inconvenient and probably would have looked to other speciality dry-cleaning businesses if the dress didn't need to be cleaned so urgently.

Approximate cost: $450 for the service and storage box

We went to Mrs Parmas a few weeks ago for a quick dinner. The staff were quick to attend to us and our orders also came out pretty quickly. There is a HUGE range of different parmas to choose from, from your standard parma to some really interesting varieties. The parmas are pretty big, and come with chips and salad, so make sure you leave room for them before you go! The venue has a nice, relaxed atmosphere and friendly service.

My husband and I had a quick dinner here recently. The location is great, which makes it an easy place to catch up. He had a pizza and I had the "Imperial Parma". The waiter warned me that it was big but I dismissed his comment and ordered it anyway (I figured that it was just something you say.) When they brought out a MASSIVE platter with what looked like a parma made from a whole chicken, I couldn't believe it (I had to take a photo, it was amazing!) It certainly explained the $25 price tag. It was freshly cooked, tasted absolutely delicious, and I just could not finish it all.
My husband told me that the Imperial used to have a political theme, with pizzas named after politicians and caricatures on the walls. They've obviously done away with this in recent times, which I think is a shame. With so many places to eat in the city (including a number of pubs) it's valuable to have a differentiating factor (and with such a perfect spot opposite Parliament House, that particular theme is ideal.) I have been to several politically-themed pubs throughout the world and have always found them to be charming and fun, giving interesting cultural insights into the political landscape of that particular place. While the atmosphere of the Imperial is quite lovely, being quiet and subdued, I think that they would do well to bring back the political theme!

Approximate cost: $Mains between $15-30

After the last couple of negative experiences I've had with nail salons (see my other reviews for details) I decided to use WOMO to find a good place to get my nails done. I'm so glad that I've now found La Boheme in Bentleigh because they're close to where I live and work, they have convenient opening hours and they are so friendly and provide great service!

I called up a couple of weeks ago and asked them about their pricing ($42 for a pedicure and manicure - bargain!) and opening hours. They managed to fit me in that very evening even though it was a spur of the moment call. The lady on the phone was really friendly too.

I was welcomed into the salon and looked after straight away. The overall quality of the mani and pedi was very good. The ladies were very chatty and friendly throughout the treatment as well. They even helped me with my bag and held open the door as I was leaving so that I wouldn't spoil the nail polish by knocking my nails on something.

Overall, I was really happy with the quality and service provided. I would happily go back again! (In fact, I will be going back next week and this time I'm going to try shellac nails.)

Approximate cost: $42 for a mani and pedi

Very disappointed with our experience at The Coffee Club in Chelsea today. I went there with some relatives for coffee and cake. The staff were very slow to take our order at the counter and then messed up our coffees. Not sure how you can mix up two cappuccinos and a skim latte (they brought us a full cream cappuccino, a skim cappuccino and a full cream latte??) The girl did offer to bring us the right ones but we had waited so long to get them in the first place that we told her not to bother. The cakes that we ordered tasted stale. The cheesecake and vanilla slice both tasted rubbery. The carrot cake was the best of the three but still pretty average. We also found that the mug-size coffees were quite weak (perhaps they only use one shot of espresso?) The place is pricey and we had an overall disappointing experience.

Approximate cost: $30 for three coffees and three pieces of cake

My husband and I tried the Ringer Reef rose at a restaurant in Bright over the long weekend. We enjoyed it so much that we thought we'd pop into the winery on our way home. Even though they weren't open yet, they still welcomed us in and let us try some of their wines. The staff were brilliant, really friendly and knowledgeable. The prices were really good too. We walked out with two bottles of rose and a bottle of chardonnay (we probably would have bought more but had already bought so much on our trip!) We look forward to buying more wine from them in the future!
