This review is for Point Hotel, Pyrmont NSW

A great little pub in Pyrmont. As a "non-local", it was fairly easy to find and had a great atmosphere.

They are happy to book the upstairs for functions. There is a balcony section (for smokers) and an inside section.

The staff are lovely and they shake a mean Cosmopolitan.

This review is for Passello Restaurant, Sydney NSW

After an early morning flight, we were looking forward to a nice brunch. This was certainly not the place to go!!!

Our wait staff were very disinterested and unhelpful.

Food we had not ordered was served to us. We then proceded to watch this croissant do the rounds of the restaurant....back to the kitchen...out to the tables...back to the kitchen (times 10!!)

The food was fair, but needed to be warmer. Perhaps it too had done the rounds of the restaurant.

Service was VERY slow and it was near impossible to catch wait staff's attention to find out what was going on with our food.

Very poor!

This review is for Jordons Seafood Restaurant, Darling Harbour NT

Wonderful seafood restaurant on Darling Harbour.

Their seafood platter was AMAZING in both taste and value. The menu said "for 2", but there was plenty for 3 hungry diners. In fact, I would suggest one between 4 and perhaps order some of their scrummy looking entrees!

The staff were helpful, kind, smiling and very helpful. Service of food and drinks was prompt.

Overall a wonderful dining experience!

This review is for Holiday Inn (Darling Harbour), Sydney NSW

A group of us stayed here for one night recently. We were greeted courteously at the door, the doorman offerred to carry ort (very tiny) bags inside and the atmosphere from the moment we arrived at their front door was amazing!

Inside, the staff were smiling, cheerful and eager to please. When one of our party fell ill, they called a doctor, extended out check out time (FREE OF CHARGE!!) and were very concerned. The front desk staff even allowed us to borrow their computer to check in for our flight!!

Unbeleivably excellent service. Way above 5 star rating....I'd say 10!

This review is for GIO Insurance, Sydney NSW

Easy to deal with when making a claim or when after basic information. I have found their premiums to be competitive. I was disappointed in a large increase for my premium, but after some ringing around they were happy to match my best price.

Staff are usually very helpful. I was impressed with their customer care.

This review is for Montrose Panel Beating, Lilydale VIC

A fantastic panel beater. Professional and very easy to deal with. I was given a very accurate quote and had the information conveyed to me in layman's terms.

As well as fixing my car, they vacuumed and cleaned the car and also blacked the tyres!!!

What more could you ask for???

This review is for Pizza Fever, Vermont VIC

A nice pizza place. Don't be fooled by the crappy shopfront and inside. An older building and old fittings don't instill much confidence, however the pizza is really good.

Not the best pizza place I have found, but one of the better ones in the neighbourhood.

This review is for Nikos Tavern, Ringwood East VIC

A fantastic culinary experience. A wide variety of dishes for entrees and mains. The saganaki was fantastic. If you are into haloumi cheeses then you should definetly order this!

The night we visited all customers were crammed into a small area. A little bizarre as if is quite a large restaurant. A little more space between fellow diners was needed.

This review is for La Porchetta, Heathmont VIC

verified email - 22 Oct 2007

The La Porchetta chain offers fairly good quality pasta and pizza for a reasonable price. The Heathmont store is no different.

However an area that they really need to improve upon is their service. Young members of staff are not knowledgeable and appear disinterested in accomodating customers.

This review is for Heathmont Florist Artistic Flowers, Heathmont VIC

A nice little florist located in the main set of shops in Heathmont.

They have a fair range of flowers and arrangements for sale. The staff are friendly and cheerful and are very accommodating.

A good florist.
