They price themselves as a high end salon but the quality doesn't quite match. They do an okay job, but nothing special. Their customer service is friendly but none of the staff told me their names and I was passed from person to person. They are quite accommodating with appointment times.

This review is for Toowong Optometrists, Toowong QLD

verified email - 12 Sep 2010

These guys provide a level of service far beyond my expectations. They picked up that I had been mis-diagnosed by the previous chain optometrist I had visited. They take time with you in your consultation and are very thorough. They also have a great range of unique frames, as well as the basics everyone else has. Some of those imported frames are more expensive, but there is no pressure to buy them. I found myself being steered towards the cheaper end even though I'd fallen in love with an expensive pair. I also like that their consultation rooms are spacious. Overall they offer excellent professional service.

This review is for Primary Medical & Dental Centre, Browns Plains QLD

This is a busy practice and there is usually a wait of one - two hours. They bulk bill. The no appointments system is great in that you can always see a doctor on the day you need to, but the downfall is that it is very difficult to see the same doctor each time. Some of the reception staff are unfriendly. The x-ray centre, pharmacy and treatment room on site are very handy. At busier times I have found that some doctors rush my consultation. I have generally felt that the GPs are focused on my presenting issue and no-one has the big picture/preventative view of my health that I have experienced in a more traditional practice.

This review is for Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon, Browns Plains QLD

I find this particular restaurant to be quite inconsistent in quality as compared to other Lonestar locations. On some visits it has been fine, other times I have had food served cold after an excessive wait. The kids eat free promotion improves the value if you are able to visit at the right times. Otherwise it's true to its American steakhouse theme with generous portions and steak usually served as you ordered it.

This review is for Fasta Pasta, Browns Plains QLD

These guys are fast, clean and friendly. No surprises in the food if you've been to Fasta Pasta anywhere else - they perform as expected. Pretty good food for pretty good value.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Runcorn Tavern Restaurant & Function Centre, Runcorn QLD

There's nothing outstanding here. The food is standard pub fair and comes out of the kitchen within appropriate timeframes. The salad/vege bar is a nice touch, but not particularly well executed. They have a small play area with video games. I would return for a family meal if I didn't feel like cooking, but not for a special occasion.

This review is for The Point Bistro Bar, South Brisbane QLD

This place is fantastic, I can't fault it. Their food is modern without being too clever, but very very delicious. Staff are well trained, accommodating and friendly. The menu is quite flexible so it's easy to go in for a light snack, coffee and sweets after a movie, or a full 3 course meal. They do fantastic breakfasts too.

This review is for Logan Diggers, Woodridge QLD

The food is okay, not brilliant but certainly palatable. It is quite good value, particularly if you take advantage of the specials. Staff are friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is relaxed. What really makes this club is the playroom, which is supervised and very well managed. It is lovely to be able to enjoy time with my friends while the kids are having a great time downstairs.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for All Purpose Removals & Storage, Berrinba QLD

verified email - 02 Sep 2010

I started using this company years ago when I rang around and found them to be the cheapest hourly rate of the professional moving companies. I'm not sure if that's true anymore, but they still offer excellent value and I have always been happy with the service. They are happy for you to help out as much or as little as you want. The only issue I've had is that the phone staff have given me different advice than the staff on the day about emptying my filing cabinet, but they moved it anyway so it wasn't a big deal.

This review is for MiniMovers, Rocklea QLD

I tried Minimovers hoping that they would be more efficient or somehow better than cheaper services. I was disappointed. They made a big deal out of having a no damage guarantee then tore the arm cushion off my sofa but did not mention it at all. I found the damage after they had left, by which time it was too late as I had already signed so say there was no damage. At the end of the day I just ended up paying more for the same service, so will return to my previous company next move.
