Fantastic food, family friendly, top eat.

Cafe style- order meals from the bar. Quite a large bistro with kids indoor & outdoor play area. Live entertainment on weekends.

Delicious food and good service. Large meals around $17-20. Also kids & seniors menu.

Haven't been here in ages and was really surprised at the renovations and family friendly bistro. Will definitely visit again.

Approximate cost: $18

This review is for Costa's Mitre 10, Werribee VIC

Placed an order over a year ago and we still haven't been notified of it coming in. Enquired about the order 3 times only to be told the order had been deleted... twice!

Happened to be passing through the store on the third visit & FOUND the exact stock on the shelf. Again, our order had been deleted and we had not been contacted even though the stock was in.

Our sale would have been worth around $350 to them, but their service and communication is absolutely dreadful. And they didn't seem that interested in helping us.

PS There is a happy ending... ordered the stock from Mitre 10 Brooklyn and were contacted and picked up the items within 9 weeks, Yey!!!

This review is for Anaconda, Belmont VIC

They sell everything for the outdoor adventurer; camping, fishing, water sports, cycling, rock climbing, etc.
We have recently bought a camper trailer & have found Anaconda our one stop camping shop! Tents, sleeping bags, cooking, clothing, lighting, just about everything!
Sign up as an 'Adventure Club' member (free) & they send catalogues, vouchers & invitations to member sales... excellent sales... fantastic savings... definitely worth joining!!!

This review is for Warehouse Toy Clearance, Hoppers Crossing VIC

verified email - 16 Nov 2007

Really good prices & good variety of toys including indoor, outdoor, baby, games, stationery, kits & more. Some licenced products such as bratz, bob, thomas, wiggles, hot wheels, etc. Cheaper than regular chain store prices.
Customer service lets them down, but it's a great shop for finding birthday & christmas presents at good prices. I really want to give them 3+ 1/2 stars!

This review is for B 24 Liberator Restoration Aviation Museum, Werribee VIC

verified email - 13 Nov 2007

A MUST for anyone interested in WWII or Australian aviation history. This is the only remaining B-24 Liberator in the southern hemisphere, and is one of only eight still existent in the world.

Took my "loves-anything-transport" son to see the B-24 Liberator bomber today & I was really surprised. Surprised we have this fantastic unique museum & I haven't been before.
The tour guide was excellent. Obviously has a strong passion for the project. The volunteers show amazing dedication & enthusiasm.
There was a small plane for my son to ride in & many original WWII artefacts & models to look at. It was quite noisy as it is a working museum & they continue restoring the plane during visiting hours.
There's a small gift shop with books, toys, souveneirs & info of the B-24.

A fantastic insight into WWII and Australia's aviation involvement.

This review is for Three In One Pine, Werribee VIC

A favourite stop for any wooden furniture. We have purchased a coffee table, bar stools, bed head, kids table & chairs, etc.
A large warehouse, selling direct to public; you can buy as is or have it stained first. Large selection of timber goods. Good prices. Pick up or delivered to you.
They also have a couple of big sales a year (usually advertised in local papers) where you can pick up some SUPER bargains!!!

A family member recommended these guys. They were great.
We had a large pergola area concreted in the 'slate look'. Price included excavating, concreting, reinforcement, slate impression, colour & sealer.
Very professional. Work was completed promptly & we're very happy with the result.

Approximate cost: $4000

This review is for Water Pro's, Hoppers Crossing VIC

verified email - 13 Nov 2007

Water Pro's helped us set up our water tanks and plan a watering system.
We took in a sketch of our garden and they designed a plan which incorporates different types of sprinklers and dripper hose. It has also been set up to use either tank or mains water.
We chose to use their plan but install it ourselves & they had everything we needed in stock & were very helpful in answering questions & providing advice.
At their shop, they stock sprinklers, pipes & fittings, controllers, garden lighting, water features & pumps and turf & lawn seed. They have everything WATER!

This review is for Victory Curtains & Blinds, Noble Park VIC

verified email - 13 Nov 2007

We had 'cafe blinds' installed on our outdoor pergola area. These are the heavy clear PVC blinds you see at outdoor areas of cafes & restaurants.
We got a few quotes but Victory were the only company who could make blinds large enough for our area. They are roll up blinds on a zip and pulley system.
Found them to be quite expensive; but they are excellent commercial quality blinds. Haven't had any problems with them at all.
