Booked a party of 18 kids and they only catered for 16. The "meals" consisted of two chicken strips and one cookie. The kids were absolutely starving leaving me no choice but to provide my own food. Overpriced for what was provided. Difficult to get in contact with them and they didn't bother to respond to emails. Staff were completely unhelpful and inflexible. Don't ever book a party here.

Approximate cost: $26

This restaurant is under new management and I'm glad we tried it. Really enjoyed dining here, the staff were attentive and friendly and food was beyond our expectations.
Generous servings and delicious food. I will definitely be back and recommending this place to friends and family.
Highly recommend the lamb cutlets and crab spaghetti.

Went here for a ladies wash, style cut and blowwave and I was in and out within 30 minutes. That alone should tell you how much effort they put into haircuts (just to be clear- hardly any!)
I asked for a simple bob. All the hairdresser did was hack away at the ends and I ended up walking out with the exact same messy style I walked in with- just shorter. So disappointed.
if you want a super speedy messy look haircut this place is ideal because thats what they achieve by co-incidence but avoid if you are looking for a sleek, neat or stylish cut. Really surprised they are still in business considering my haircut.

Food was decent. Prices were higher than I expected for smaller servings than other mexican restaurants I have been to. Service was quite slow but we did enjoy our meals enough that they dont deserve a low rating.

Went here for lunch and ordered off the "express" menu. There was nothing express about it. After waiting a ridiculously long time we were served our meals and our souvlaki was served with stale meat that they clearly re-used from a previous day. The meat was so bad it left a bad taste in my mouth long after we had left. We sent the food back to the chef as it was inedible and left hungry. Neither the chef nor any staff even apologised or gave any explanation as to why we were served such a meal. Most definitely would not return or recommend to others

Food is reasonable. Prices are not.
Prices are the most expensive I have seen in the area and the food is not even close to nice enough to warrant it.
The only reason I have bought here is because it is convenient but each time I do I don't feel that I am getting any value for my money.

Shockingly awful. I am a big fan of "cupping" and had this and a massage done here for the first and last time with disastrous results. I have had it done in other places many times so I know what to expect. I really think they forgot all about me because they left the cups on so long that it was extremely painful and left me in pain so bad that I couldn't sleep on my back and even the tshirt rubbing on the bruises caused pain. I had to call out to beg for someone to remove them after so much time had passed. I will never ever go back and would absolutely warn anyone away from having cupping done here by these obviously untrained/inexperienced staff.

The menu is good and the specials are always varied and interesting. The food quality is on par with what you expect for these family/pub style places.

Desserts were pretty dismal but mains were tasty and we all walked away happy with our meals.

Really happy with the kids area, our group had kids from 1 to 7 years old and they all had a ball in there.

We will be returning for another night out there again.

Approximate cost: $28

This review is for Crown Metropol, Southbank VIC

We had a really great experience at Crown Metropol. The valet staff were incredibly helpful and polite, rooms were spacious and well kept.
There is access directly to the casino which is great.

Room service menu is pricey and servings are ridiculously small for what you would expect but the food is faultless in quality and taste.

The spas are separated into male and female as they are in the toilets which we didnt like as it meant I didnt get to relax in the spa with my partner, also the pool area seemed very open, the staff counter was right next to the pools and the staff were so bored they were practically staring at us the whole time which was kind of creepy.

Cleaning staff were just lovely and helpful and clearly work hard to get the rooms spotless.

Will definitely stay there again, in fact we have already booked our next stay and cant wait

Approximate cost: $400

This review is for Viva Pizzeria E Caffe, Croydon South VIC

This was the worst pizza I have ever had in my life. The base was like eating a floppy rubber tasted awful. We couldnt even finish a small pizza between two people it was that disgusting.

The chips were foul even my four year old refused to eat them they use some awful seasoning on the chips which tasted stale yet undercooked at the same time, quite a talent to achieve that lol

They also charge extra for tomato sauce for the chips but then give you about 2 tblsp of sauce.
So overpriced and really bad bad food, I would never go back
