We had been looking for an outdoor setting but couldn't find what we wanted in our price range. By chance, we were in the nursery looking at pots and came across the ideal setting. The only one they had was on display. They would be getting more in but not for a 'little while'. To meet our needs, they offered a marginally reduced price on the display stock and would have it delivered the same day.
Their service exceeded expectations. We are naturally regular visitors

Dined as a group of 4. It wasn't the easiest to find, being behind locked gates. Missed the gateway twice. Entrance to the restaurant wasn't easy as the car park was dark and signage unclear. Once inside, the premises was welcoming, well lit and set out. We had a window table and were hoping for a view over the water. Unfortunately it was unlit. During the day, it would be beautiful scenery. Service was good, with the table regularly attended. It wasn't a busy night and things may have been different if otherwise. The food was excellent with big serves provided. Linguine marinara was very tasty. The grilled flounder was also said to be nicely cooked. Don't over order appetisers as they are large in size. The chef urged us to have a dessert with a liqueur to finish off. We were quite 'stuffed' but indulged anyway. We weren't disappointed. The restaurant accepts Entertainment Book cards. Worth a visit.

Business was referred by a colleague after someone clipped my car and drove off leaving bumper damage to my XR6. It was heartbreaking. Jason travelled to Evanston Park and did a quality job on a rear bumper. Matched colour perfectly and you can't tell there was a graze. Job was completed quickly and at a better than fair price. Highly recommended

Went to the Thebbie last night for the Roger Hodgson performance. Haven't been there for decades and settled for seats in the stalls. The acoustics were good and the concert was outstanding. There was a crush at intermission with everyone heading to the toilets. Ladies even resorted to the Mens due to the long lines. Bars appeared plentiful (maybe this was the problem). With regards to the seating in the stalls, the rows were far too close together with little or no leg room between the rows for patrons to squeeze through. I would recommend trying to avoid the stalls if possible or resort to aisle seats if possible

Took friends for a Sunday lunch and have been back twice since. Found Lou and his family to be excellent hosts. They are warm and enthusiastic about their family business. The Pinot Grigio is crisp and the shiraz warming with both complimenting the meal, which is ample in size. Follow Lou's recommendation of wine and food - you won't be disappointed. The venue has a quaint ambiance and it was an excellent experience. The only downside is that the long lazy Sunday lunch needs to be over by about 3pm - when you feel like settling in for the afternoon. Still worth the trip

This review is for Uzit, Richmond SA

We have had built in robes installed in 3 rooms of our last two homes by Uzit 10 years apart. The quality was excellent and design spacious. We didn't feel special dealing with the sales person and the initial quote was beaten by a competitor. However, when we went back, the deal was bettered. We were happy with the quality the first time, hence the desire to use Uzit again. Happy to recommend them but suggest negotiation on the price as it appears there is room to move. We saved a few hundred dollars.

First visit. Was the only one in store so got served without waiting. Chicken roll was tasty, chips were perfect and I couldn't complain about the service. Price was acceptable. Will go again

Working in the area, dropped in for lunch. I was surprised at how busy it was. The staff were under pressure but were doing their best. Unfortunately one gentleman(?) took umbrage at having to wait and became a little too aggressive. The staff member apologised and looked to do all he could. Waiting time was reasonable and if it wasn't for Mr Impatient, the experience would have been fine

I dropped in for a quick lunch and I had a very pleasant experience. The service was quick and friendly and I felt like I was important. The restaurant was clean. The serving was ample in size and value for money. I will certainly drop in again

Very busy coffee shop, just changed hands. The girls have remained and they are excellent at there job. They keep business moving. The range of coffee excellent and it will take you a while to work through them all! Value for money as the coffee is first class. The small cakes are a bit pricey but fine for a treat every now and then.
