The very small minority of intelligent, enthusiastic, dedicated & passionate about excellent health seem to be compulsive of organic food benefits. The foundation of health can only be constructed with pure, uncontaminated nutrients found exclusively in organically grown fruits & vegetables. Therefore, all of the juices made with typical, run of the mill, poisoned with pesticides produce are merely liquid pollutants. It's no wonder that too few are able to enrich their lives in the flawed Raw Juice Therapy using conventionally poison treated produce. So after discovering that the majority of the 'healthy' juice bars fail to use organics, we came online to find 'organic juice bars' and discover, "O-zone The Organic Juice Bar Mosman - Health Food Stores ...
Sydney's only Certified Organic Juice Bar uses 100% organic fruit & vegetables to create delicious cold-pressed 'living' juices packed with nutrients, vitamins ..." is not open on Saturdays & Sundays! So back to Google to fine out if, indeed, there might be an uncertified organic juice bar. Sure enough, after 10 minutes of scanning, we find, "Contact us - Urge4 health
urge4health.com.au/pages/contact-us
Home - Urge4 health Potts Point Sydney Organic Cold Press Juice Bar and Health ... Shop 1, 1a Elizabeth Bay Rd (also known as Barncleuth Square), Sydney, ..." [http://urge4health.com.au/pages/contact-usU4] The words "Kings Cross Police Station" were not immediately prominent so we spent about 2 hours from Sydney Central Rail Station to find the most gratifying location in the entire Sydney region! Asking the bus driver as we disembarked near Kings Cross for Elizabeth Bay Drive was the 1st mistake. Another 30 minutes & a consultation at Vibe Rushcutters Hotel desk, another map & a hike back up the hill got us toward the Police Station, where 40 yards away we finally saw the white, green & pink signage of 'U4'! The welcome sight was like a mirage! After stepping up to the beautiful staff & congratulating ourselves in the quest, we reviewed our errors of failing to comprehend 'Kingsley Hall' & realized how 'Elizabeth Bay Road' was so insignificant compared to 'Darlinghurst Road' & the 'Kings Cross police station and fountain.'!! So it's with extreme pleasure to report that the couple across the counter were much more than just 'present' on a Saturday afternoon. They were eager to listen to our difficulties & displayed genuine service with a smile & provided exquisite resources for an exceptionally splendid product. The lines around the corner are missing merely because too many fail to appreciate the value of organic juice. The customers at U4 can be spotted a mile away as beautiful, lean, healthy machines. Ya just know 'heavy duty' & her chubby kids ain't stoppin. Thank you U4! We LOVE you for providing the opportunity to be healthy!

Approximate cost: $cheap at twice the price

The wide varieties of generic products & the absolute lowest prices we've found keep us returning to this specific location. The absence of bells, buttons & whistles evidently keeps the value unbeatable. Thanks for being convenient & less expensive than the others, consistently!

Approximate cost: $very reasonable

This review is for Steve's Keys, Port Macquarie NSW

Our experience with 'Steve's Keys' has been ongoing for more than ten [10] years as a result of the initial wrist watch battery replacement, then expert personal engraving, general shoe maintenance & occasional watchband & battery replacements.
The consistent display of good cheer, helpfulness and economy has provided plenty of the highest qualities of service found in Port Macquarie. Thanks Mr. Patterson!!

Seems like most refer to the lunch buffet without ambiance or table cloths. We decided a week in advance to celebrate the birthday at 360 Dining & went so far as to attempt a pre-order reservation from the PDF online menu without success. But before we left the 4th floor on the way up, the incident of poorly orchestrated reception resulted in a very unpleasant exchange with a small group separated from their main group. The staff directing elevator traffic seemed exceptionally overdressed & under skilled to conduct an organized assent. Okay, we shrugged it off as another fly in the ointment typically encountered while striving to remain unscathed or thwarted. Unfortunately, the smear of the window washers failed to bolster our hopes. While placing our diner order, remembering exorbitant prices & menu options of the aforementioned PDF menus, we immediately notice a price increase of $10 each! We were handed the Friday Menu on Thursday. The insulting disregard of the reservation pre-order resonated with stark recognition of much more extra effort needed to remain undaunted. The next reminder came moments later when we realized our 2 hour allotted time was already 20 minutes old.
The 'gourmet' appearance of sparse food on a plate decorated with swirls of eyewash failed to convey the richness of the Duck & Angus. The fries with rosemary salt & buttered seasonal greens rounded out the meal but with less than an hour to ingest, we were presented with the 'not a take-away' policy when asking for a container. Sure, desert was fine with an added sample fun size brownie served on a chocolate swirl of eyewash "Happy Birthday" but certainly it will never happen again at the Sydney Tower! The good news is the bill was 'only' $218 for two but that's alot of fish n chips, huh?! Oh well...should we mention that it took 2 efforts on line & six days to make the reservation?

Approximate cost: $much too much
