I lvoe the retreat for lunch or an after work drink in Summer - the Beer Garden is lovely. They have great cheap meals and some great cider on tap too!
LOVE costco. A lot of people think it's not great value for a single person like myself, but I certainly find I get good bang for my buck here. You very quickly get your membership back - it works out to $5 a month. I save that when I buy one bag of their rasberries - something I get every time. Sure as a single some of the things are just in too large packages, but there are many things I can get and use. Great for stocking up the freezer with things like chicken breasts and fish.
I like the feel of this place - love the exposed brick and the interesting historical prints on the walls. It has a good range of pies, pastries, cakes etc in the windows and lots else you can order off the menu. It's not outstanding, but provides pretty consistenly good cafe food.
When I first started pilates, I came here believing that a physiotherapy studio would provide the attention I needed for my back (I have had back surgery and ongoing issues). The first physio I saw here who did my assessment and individual sessions was great. I was then ready to move into a class. The guy who runs these is useless. I often complained of pain and he would tell me I just needed to get used to it. I would pull up sore after sessions and he would attribute it to having worked muscles I hadn't used for a while. I am aware of the difference between delayed onset muscle soreness and muscles that feel pulled or pinched. The last straw though was that I couldn't bear to listen to this guy. He believed he knew everything about every subject and just liked to sit on a ball for the entire class and talk. He even had advice on how I should do my job in a completely unrelated field in which he admitted he had no experince or training. I finally switched to a different place and then realised what clinical pilates should be!
A regular lunch spot for me - friendly service and reliable good food. A welcome addition to the many places on Sydney Rd and it offers something different than what was there previously. It's a nice space too - with interesting wall art and tables.
Yummy Pizza and great service - Sammy is a character! They also have some pretty good specials at Lunch. I've never eatern there for dinner, but we get large pizza orders from them for work functions across the road at the town happ and they've been very helpful.
I think the Nova is one of the best cinemas in melbourne. They have a great range of movies, both blockbuster and more arthouse and intenational. The cinemas are comfortable and have great sound.
Was reffered to this clinic after I had mixed responses to other physios. I have had better results with this clinic, but do find it quite pricey.
a lovely little collective of screen printers that sell unique clothing, homegoods and jewellry at very reasonable prices.
A great GP clinic. I mainly see Dr Ennis here, but have seen several other drs over the years. When I moved out of the area, I desperately tried to find a replacement service but couldn't. I have now decided it is worth driving 30 mins to a good GP. The also have a nurse on site. My only complaint is that they often run late. Having said this, I never feel rushed in my appointment and the Dr's take the time required to treat you, I just wished they allowed a little more for this with their bookings.
