Very friendly busy place. Started getting coffee here for years before we managed to stop for a meal. The food is beautifully presented and tastes fresh. I usually have the Parmesan crusted garfish which is so amazing or last time the almond crusted barramundi. Both fresh and well cooked. The children's meals are lovely and usually arrive at the table before the adult meals to give time to organise them before your meal comes. Very thoughtful. Have been many times and really want to try the breakfast menu. If you want to go, book it's busy even in the middle if the week and impossible to get into on the weekend without calling first.

The atmosphere in this mountain top restaurant is warm and welcoming. There is a pile of blankets next to the door for people who need just a little for than the open fire can provide, a nice touch. I had the Salmon special of the day. The meal was faultless. Cooked to perfection, however a little small for the price. It was only just enough for me, for a male I think it's very small. Coffee was great, lots of toys for children and the owner is very approachable and interacted with us regularly. Very friendly. Would go back no problems.

Approximate cost: $40.0

Disgraceful! Charged $59.00 to my mother in law to change her recently deceased husbands phone into her name. No other company does that. She supplied a death certificate which should have been enough to change the Mr R to Mrs D. Only 2 digits needed changing. Not good enough.

This is my 2nd review for Universal Body Day Spa and their service and treatments are still highest quality I have found. The staff are highly trained and always make you feel so special. The aroma when you climb the stairs is instantly relaxing and afterwards you float down in a cloud. This spa is a treasure in the city and thankfully it's in MY city!

This review is for Soto's Fish Shop, Semaphore SA

This is a great fish and chip shop. You can phone through an order no problem. It is always busy which shows how good they are. The chips are hand cut so all different shapes but very yummy. The crumbed fish was nice and not very greasy. The hamburgers are big and a little greasy but the patty is very tasty. Service is great, parking however is tricky as this is a busy street so bring a friend to double park while you run in.

This shop is easy to get to with plenty of parking. When I arrived it was so quiet I thought I should get back in the car and go somewhere else as it wasn't a good sign. I should have. The service is friendly and quick. I asked if the fish was Australian and was told yes, but for the huge size of each piece and at $4 each its not possible. The fish was so greasy I had to soak it up with paper towel. The chips are average not what you would expect from a fish and chip shop. I was disappointed as there isn't any where you can get good fish in this area. You can ring through orders which would be handy and they have a large range on the menu, I wouldn't go back though. After the good reviews I couldn't wait to try them but did not have anywhere near an experience as the other reviewers.

Probably your average petrol station. Staff are always friendly and will help if needed. There is a new car wash which I haven't used yet. There is a good range of stock in the store and plenty of hot and snack food which looks fresh. It's a busy station as there are not many around this area.

I have been to this vet a couple of times now. Firstly to have some stitches removed from our new kitten. They are very friendly and made a big fuss over her. No charge. The second was for a vaccination for our new puppy. They went through a whole heap of information with us which was useful. Again made a fuss of her and she loved the attention there. I rang around before I went and the pricing was pretty much the same as in this area. Will be taking her there again for desexing next month and quite happy to leave her in their capable hands.

This is the place to eat if you want to experience german food and beer. The menu is large with lots to pick from. I had a kransky with potato salad, pretzel and sauerkraut. I authentic beer to wash it down and I was super satisfied. It is very busy, there is seating inside and wooden tables and benches line the road. The waitresses wear dirndls which adds to the atmosphere. It did take awhile for our meal to come but they are really busy. The kids ordered a cheese burger that was huge, the size of a large bread roll and inch thick spicy patty. Out of the 4 kids we ordered for non of them ate it, sadly. Next time we will order the schnitzel. Only thing missing for me was the music. There isn't any music outside sadly, would have really topped my lunch off perfectly. Will definitely be going back soon, I loved it.

What a beautiful setting this winery and restaurant is in. We went in a group to the restaurant and had the devastation menu. The decor is clean and well presented. The food is sensational and each course was served with a wine to match. The wines are superb and with the food made a perfect match. I can't wait to go back again and wouldn't hesitate to have the detestation menu again. The restaurant was very busy and is easy to see why. Between our courses we quickly sneaked into the tasting bar for a few extra little samples and the staff are more than happy to accommodate us. Only little complaint was with each course we had a different wine, some glasses were filled more than others, they should have been exactly the same. Staff are great and good sensational.

Approximate cost: $90.00
