We booked with a voucher. We attempted to book about five times, and each time there is no availability at nights or on weekends.

When we showed up the lady was rude to me. We should have left then. The girls were rude and talked loudly, laughing to each other throughout. The carpet is stained and hasn't been cleaned, it wasn't great to put your bare feet on.

They don't respect your privacy and leave the flimsy curtains open, so be ready for everyone to be able to see you.

Then they cut us short on time also. We were 5 minutes late so I expected it to be 55 mins, instead of the 60, but it was actually 40 minutes. I didn't complain as I wanted to get out of that awful place with rude staff.

Don't pay full price, don't even go with a voucher. I went to a beauty salon the previous day which included a delightful head massage and my experience was 300 times better.

Buyer beware.

Spanish tapas is becoming very IT and this is the place to do them. They do absolutely superb tapas and there is a real warm ambiance about this whole restaurant.

I have been here twice now and the service has been fantastic and the food phenomenal.

The olives are fantastic and last time I went they had octopus on the specials board - delish! Highly recommend! Great for a light dinner before of after the movies at the Barracks.

I used these photographers for my wedding because they were reasonably priced and I liked their photography style. I was looking for a particular style, which was hard to find. We briefed them on the natural style that we wanted and they delivered.

Our package was reasonably priced and while we did buy some extra pages, we didn't feel like we were pressured to do so. Highly recommended.

I love this gorgeous little cafe in West End. They have some fantastic bands and I find nothing better than ordering one of their massive and cheap antipasto platters and kicking back and listening to the fantastic bands. I haven't eaten mains there, but I love the atmosphere and the bands here, and their food is very reasonably priced. From the antipasto and nibblies I have had, I'd have no problem trying the mains!

This is a great little suburban cafe. Well located on Blackwood Street and a really casual ambiance. Last time I went I had a yummy steak sandwich for lunch. One of my friends bought her baby along also and they were more than accommodating. Great little local business!

The location of this place is amazing. Right on the river. Each time I have eaten here I've had a fantastic experience. The appetizers are fantastic to just have something with a bottle of wine and the main meals are also great.

Yummy food and what really makes this restaurant is the view! Fantastic!

This review is for The Stafford Tavern, Stafford QLD

The Stafford Tavern has been around for years and is a reasonably good place to go for a drink if you are going local. It has been renovated so is quite modern. My husband particularly likes the TAB facilities in this tavern. They have quite a big set up.

Reasonably priced drinks, friendly service and a restaurant as well. The food in the restaurant is ok too, and prices are fair.

Approximate cost: $15

I absolutely LOVE this place! The decor is just so amazing. Every time I go I find something new to look at. We have had nothing but amazing experiences here. When we first started going what surprised us the most was that the staff were so approachable and friendly, not stuck up as you would expect.

If you go on a Saturday night though - expect to wait... and wait you will! Cocktails seem to be THE must have drink here and so getting served takes an extraordinary amount of time, but through the day for lunch or afternoon, we've never had a problem.

The drink prices are surprisingly quite reasonable for this type of bar also.

We have LOVED the food though. LOVE IT! The chef is excellent and each time we have eaten there is has been fabulous food. Yummy rissottos, yummy appetizers, all of it has been superb. Again surprisingly is has been really afforable for the quality of food that you get also.

Approximate cost: $25

I love the Queens Arms (QA) Hotel. It's great for a drink and also for a meal. There are great meal specials on regularly which are really good value. The food has always been simple but really good.

Drink prices are reasonable for this part of town.

We have been to this cafe sooo many times, for breakfast, lunch and dinner and we just love it. It is a small cafe which has a really good feel to it. We have had excellent service each time and the food is fantastic.

Will continue to go back to this little cafe - great food, great value and friendly service!
