Staff are not particularly friendly at this store, I find.
The store is always fairly clean and tidy, and they have some great products.
I think they must get quite a few shoplifters, as when you look at all of the staff on the floor, they all look as though they are watching the customers out of the corner of their eye, and often go and chat to other workers as if they are sussing customers out. Just an observation, but it makes for a bit of an uncomfortable shopping experience!

Absolutely love Target at Forest Hill. I just about live there.
The workers are friendly and genuine, especially Kim at layby.
They have much better quality clothing than Kmart and Big W, at least for kids in my opinion.
I love how low they go on their clearance stock... $1.86 each for boys long sleeved tops currently!
I will continue to do the majority of my clothing / toy shopping here.

Great Aldi store in an unexpected location. Never had an issue at this store.
I don't really like coming to the mall as there isn't much else there of interest, but I have dropped into Aldi here, and IGA sells cheap cans of cold Coca Cola.

Never had to much of an issue here, maybe a bit of a wait on food...
Nice atmosphere, love the tv with music... good outdoor sitting area.
Great parking, and other shops nearby.

Have been a patient here since I was a baby, nearly 30 years. However I can now state that as of this year, I am no longer a patient.
I have to completely agree with another reviewer, they have turned into an absolute in and out factory, building a patient base, they are unbelievably busy and are always so booked up. The waiting room is as busy as Bourke Street these days.
Doctors come and go, and they charge for new patients - even for me to bring my own baby as a patient, with me having been a long term 'customer', they asked me to pay around $50 to add bub to their books. I flatly refused, and at this point searched for another surgery.
Sorry Doctor Demaio, but it seems to be all about getting bigger and bigger, bringing in more and more money... The friendly local feel has gone.

We get pup's nails done here every few months as they are the only ones who can handle him well enough to get it down, without putting him under. They also do it at an affordable price.
Have to mention that another positive is the young male vet surgeon is quite gorgeous, oh, and he does his job well.
Will continue to attend this vet centre!

Have to say straight up - VERY expensive. Even the cocktails.
Didn't think the food was amazing enough to justify the price, I think you pay more for the atmosphere and 'coolness' of where you are dining.
Staff are very much on the ball, coming over to ask if you need this and that - maybe a little too over the top.
$18.95 for a long island iced tea...
Very noisy on a busy night... wouldn't make a habit of dining here.

A fantastic range, great since the renovations have been made. Burwood ONE is a great place to shop now.
Love the fact that they are 24 hours.

Very very busy surgery.
The doctors are reasonable, Dr Malek is thorough and I would recommend her.
Fantastic for the asian community with most doctors being from China, suits the area well.
I have been coming here for a few years but it is getting too busy, and the wait times can be up to an hour, even with an appointment. Looking at changing to a different service.

The owners are very friendly, although maybe a little fake with the conversation.
They make great coffee there though, I have to say. I prefer it over the Coffee Club around the corner.
I don't dare order the food/snacks, they are extremely overpriced in my opinion.
Currently it is $4.20 for a regular coffee, which is getting a bit pricey. The loyalty card you have to get 9 punch holes before getting a freebie, I really do think it should be 5, either that or they should drop their prices.
Either way, this is where I grab a coffee at Forest Hill... If the prices increase again, I may venture elsewhere within the centre.
