We went for a xmas party in a small group of 6. There were 12 of us all together at the table. 8 of us ordered chicken schnitzel. 2 of us waited 45 mins and had to ask 3 times for our food. We finally got our meal as everyone else was getting there deserts. The food was really disappointing, the schnitzels were microwaved and the entree didn't even exist! When booking you recieve a copy of the menu sent out which stated starters and a 3 course meal, this did not happen! The prices of drinks are significantly higher than stated on the website.

The atmosphere of the place is great. Really entertaining and keeps you laughing all night.

Service is really slow, unfortunately the performers are also the waiters and bartenders, so if you order a drink then they need to go on stage you wait for your drink. We waited half hr and asked 4 times before we finally got the drinks we had ordered and paid for!

I think they need to employ people purely as waiters.

Good night, just disappointed with the $65 microwaved meal and sara lee choc cake for desert.

Approximate cost: $65

We dined in for lunch for my husbands birthday with our 2 small children. We were the 2nd group of people in the restaurant. Slowly the tables filled but we were served after many of them. Our main meals came out before our kids, so they were whingy and wanting their lunch as we had been waiting for over an hr at this point. I ordered off the special board a meal that I thought was costing $14 when infact the price had been written in the wrong spot and it was infact $32. I was still hungry after this $32 meal and 2 of the ingredients listed weren't even in the salad. Yep! A salad for $32! We weren't once asked if we would like more drinks and felt like we weren't welcome at all. I don't plan on going back!

Approximate cost: $30

Fantastic experience! From the minute we visited Greg & Karen to view their cars we felt very welcome. On the day Greg was so helpful, such a gentlemen and made my day one to remember! The car was beautiful! Everything was perfect.

Fantastic, well priced made to order cakes. Everything I have tried from here has always tasted great and really fresh. Nice coffee, friendly staff. Everyone was very impressed with the birthday cakes I have bought from Krust.

This review is for Accent Blinds, Wallsend NSW

We ordered 9 blinds in total in early May 2009. We were happy with the quote, etc and left a deposit for the blinds to begin production. We were told they would be installed in 4-5 weeks. Towards the end of May I recieved a phonecall saying the timber we had ordered wasn't in stock and would be now looking at having them installed towards the end of June. Although annoyed it took so long to tell me this I decided I would still go ahead rather than chase more quotes, get a refund etc. In early July there was still no word so I phoned to check on the order to be told they were still out of stock and they didn't know when it would arrive, that they would check with someone else and get back to me. I got no call back. I rang again the next day to be told the same thing. I said I wasn't happy with that as I was told I would have my call returned the day before and it didn't happen. The lady assured me she would call back. She did call me back within half an hour to my surprise to tell me that the timber was stuck in customs and wouldn't be released for another 10 days, then we could expect our blinds in 3 weeks. 3 weeks later I rang back again to be told no, they still aren't in stock. My husband then called and the woman I spoke to told him she never told me anything about them being in customs. We then asked for a refund of our deposit as we would need to order blinds through someone else. Now, 2 weeks later we are still waiting on that refund (despite 3 phonecalls to them) In the meantime we are sitting in a freezing cold house with no blinds, sick children and very disappointed to say the least!
