Really delicious food. Not a great amount of seating available if you have a big group, and kind of awkward with a pram because you are blocking the pedestrian walk, but if you are wanting some yummy lunch, or somewhere nice to catch up with a few friends for a coffee it is definitely a great options.
Only issue was that it did take a little while for our order to arrive, but it was the lunchtime rush so I think to a point that is to be expected.

Was driving through Townsville on a road trip and stopped to have lunch with a friend who lives there. We were wandering down the street trying to find somewhere to eat, and having noone in the group willing to make a decision, went in to this Indian restaurant.
My friend mentioned that in 10 years of living in Townsville, he had never been there, which caused a little bit of concern, but we decided to give it a try anyway.
Best decision ever. There was noone there except us, service was quick and friendly and the food was absolutely beautiful. Could no complain about a single thing at all. Will be heading back there next time I go to Townsville, for certain.

This review is for Rochedale Dentist Group, Rochedale South QLD

Dr Nathan Barnes at Rochedale Dental Group has been my dentist for about 10 years now, and I have no intention of changing.
This is a really good clinic, with informed, helpful and friendly staff. They send appointment reminders two weeks in advance so that when (I say when because that is honest of me) you forget, you have plenty of time time to reschedule.
When you have your check up, if work needs to be done, they sit down and go through the costs and requirements thoroughly with you, and help work out how it will be managable for you.
Cannot recommend this dental group highly enough.

Big fan of this Fish and Chip shop. In 3 years living in the area, this is our favourite place to go for fish and chips. Been to most of them and this is our winner.
Best part is, you can order online. This way, you choose what you want, check how long until it will be available and leave in time to get it. As it is about a 10 minute drive from us, this is incredibly handy. We have never had any mistakes or problems with our orders at all. Staff are friendly and helpful. Parking lot is a bit of a pain though.

I have only been here a couple of times, unfortunately the service has never encouraged me back with any great enthusiasm.
The food is good, I have always enjoyed my order, but tend to end up getting served by people who have very little idea what is going on. On two occasions I placed my order, was told how long till it would be ready, sat down to wait, and then when I went back to collect my order was told "oh, sorry, we don't have any more of the fish you ordered, what would you like instead?" I get running out of fish, really I do. It's annoying for me, but it happens. What I had an issue with was that the staff member didn't know at the point of sale to make sure I would have what I wanted.

As per most childrens photography businesses, these guys set up in shops and try to grab you as you are going by. No issue with this. My mum handed my son over while I was busy in another store so I went along with the "free sitting/free print" thing to keep her happy. When I went in to view the images, they were ok, and, as I'm sure would be the case with most parents, they were of my child so I was swayed into purchasing them, on a payment plan as I couldn't afford them at the time. Everything to this point was fine. The staff were friendly, not pushy and well informed. My only issue was one of the photography staff smelt incredibly strongly of cigarette smoke and that made me a bit uncomfortable, but what can you do?
When I had enough money, after tax return time, I called up and made the full payment so that I could get my 10 images and USB of all 20 images they decided were the best of the bunch. Again, to this point, no issue. I was told the parcel of my purchase would be sent as soon as the payment cleared.
This is where my issue began... Firstly, 12 business days later nothing had arrived. I called up, to be told that "it was all posted yesterday". Really? Not good enough. But ok, I figured at least I was getting them.
When my package finally arrived, huge issue. They had sent the USB, but somehow managed not to send the 10 prints. A problem for me when I had arranged for people who wanted the prints to come round and collect them (based on the tracking information from Australia Post). Another call to the company. Basically get told, whoops, don't know how that happened. We will fix it. Please tell us the images you wanted again, because we have lost the information. Wonderful. So, I email them my selection, with a request to confirm that they received this email with my selection. Do not get any such reply. At this point, I'm a little annoyed, so I decide to look up their complaints policy. It says, along the lines of, we try to provide excellent service, please let us know any issues and we will begin investigating immediately. Well, all I can say is, this may be the case, but if it is, they won't inform you of it at any point. I submitted my complains, as per their preferred method, and a month later, had heard absolutely nothing from them. Not an apology, acknowledgement of the complaint, nothing at all.
A week after I advised my selection the photos arrived and that is it.
Whilst the photos themselves are acceptable and the service provided by the people with whom I did speak was always friendly, I will never have anything to do with this company again now that I know how lightly they take genuine feedback.

Approximate cost: $590

Kind of ended up going here by accident, but turned out to be a happy accident.
Was out grabbing some shopping and walked by at the same time as I was in the middle of grumbling about my horrible hair, so ducked in to see if they could fit me in, and happily they could.
My favourite element was that I told the hairdresser that I had no idea what I wanted, just needed it fixed, and rather than shooting a bunch of annoying questions at me to see if they could get me to answer and tell them what I wanted, she just got an idea and ran with it.
Ended up with something I totally never would have asked for in a million years, but LOVE it, which is fabulous. Yay for hairdressers that trust their skill enough to not panic about customer complaints.
Quite expensive, but I think that is kind of a standard for decent hairdressers, sadly.

Approximate cost: $150

This review is for Fasta Pasta, Springwood QLD

I love Fasta Pasta Springwood.
They have great food, and it is, as the title would suggest, fast.
Staff are very friendly and professional.
Of late I have been getting takeout, easy to call up and order, they give you an estimated time to pick up and it is almost always ready at that time. Packaging is great and servings are pretty much the same as in store.
Restaurant when you eat in is clean, tables well spaced so you don't feel like you are listening in on other people all the time.

Approximate cost: $15

I have been here a couple of times now, to grab takeaway fish and chips to sit and eat whilst checking out the beautiful scenery close by.
The food in my experience has always been quite delicious - cant really complain. They have a decent menu with fish and chip selections as well as a range of burgers (which I haven't tried). They also have heaps of drinks and icecreams.
You can dine in if you want, it has never really appealed it me, the space is not overly gorgeous, particularly when by comparison you can sit on a picnic blanket in the sun and stare out at the beautiful water.
The only issue I have with this place is their speed. The staff who take orders are nice and friendly, but for whatever reason, very easily distracted. They start taking the order, but end up in a discussion with someone else for a minute or two and then get back to you eventually. Very odd. The food also takes quite a bit of time to be done - like from when you ordered til when your number is called you are looking quite genuinely at 25+ minutes. Not the worst in the world I guess, but I do think that is a touch long for takeaway fish and chips.
Despite this however, I will keep going back because it is not badly priced and in a good position for some sun by the water.

Love this restaurant. If you go, request to sit outside (in warmer weather!), it is truly beautiful.
I really enjoyed my experience dining here - had a discount voucher which made things somewhat cheaper (prices are kinda high), and encouraged us to go, and really glad we did.
We had lovely staff serve us, happy to help and answer any questions, take photos to commemorate the event and the like.
Food was delicious, I almost rolled out of there after eating far too much good food. I always struggle to stop eating when I am full when I have good food that costs a lot - this was a wonderful case in point.
Everything about the place was just lovely, worth the money absolutely.
