I went here with my then fiance to have a nice meal out to celebrate a special date to us. We had checked the restaurants menu out prior and thought it looked good. However when we went to dine there we came away very dissapointed. We had been sitting down for a little while when right next to us people started smoking. Coming from Qld we thought it was outlawed, but apparently not in W.A. So then we being non smokers and for me personally quite affected by the smoke we asked to move. The restaurant had numerous tables free because there was only about 3-4 parties dining there that night, but this request was met with coldness and insolence. We were forced to physically move our own crockery and cutlery over to another table. For a fine dining restaurant charging over $30 a meal this attitude was not on. I even remember years ago sizzler had a smoking and non smoking section and didn't expect non smokers to sit half a metre from people smoking. We were treated like we were in a pub and had to accept it.

The meal was also a dissapointment the quality jus wasn't there. In the end we scoffed a bit down and got out of there because we were feeling quite uncomfortable at that point. The woman serving us didn't seem to understand why we weren't staying for dessert and coffee???

Approximate cost: $30+

This review is for Zanders At Cable Beach, Cable Beach WA

This cafe is situated right at the top of cable beach and has great beach views. They have a reasonable varied menu with fairly average pricing. I ate there several times and found the service up and down. Sometimes it was very good-quick and friendly and other times it could be quite bad-slow and getting orders wrong. I believe this is due to staff being very transient.

We had been into Coles to buy some fresh fruit and vege and were dissappointing to find it was rather less then fresh so we gave this fruit and vege shop a go. We found great fresh produce at a much better price then the supermarkets. They also stock some more unique products like the Barambah organic diary range which is great. We now buy things here every fortnight and haven't bought fruit or vege from a supermarket since discovering this type of place.

malcolm's is situated in a gorgeous area with a beautiful view. The waiter we had was very attentive and aimed to please, but I'd have to say we were quite dissappointed with the food quality. I ordered a good quality piece of beef (eye fillet I believe) and it was chewy and the other diner I dined with foudn their mal lacked in taste.

I've dined here numerous times for ordinary lunches, for a function and I was even proposed to here. Each time I've found the food, ambience and service great.

On winter evenings they light a fireplace in the centre of the restaurant which is very romantic. In the day you experience views of peaceful green pastures as it sits up on a rise.

There is a cute little church directly across the road so it would a good venue for christenings, weddings etc. I attened a christening like this and the food and atmosphere was good for both adults and children alike.

The food is modern Australian and the staff always try and make sure that you are enjoying your meal and experience.

I have visited this restaurant many times over the years.

I like the menu because it varies season to season. The food choices are good quality, but not too out there. It is a good choice for an event because it will suit a lot of people.

I once attended a melbourne cup lunch there and the food and entertainment was good.

If you like getting your photo in the paper it is a venue the local papers visit-I was once photographed here.

When dining on ordinary occassions the service is quite personalised.

The price of lunch is very similar to cafe prices, but you get to sit in more of a fine dining atmosphere.

This review is for Cafe Carlotta, Broome WA

This was our favourite restaurant whilst living in Broome recently. The food was great quality and could rival any city Italian restaurent. We appreciated the natural fresh ingrediants.

Being a small town, we always got great personalised service even when they were busy which was often.

If your visiting Broome and feel like Italian this restaurant is certainly worth a try.

Approximate cost: $18-$30

This review is for Willie Creek Pearl Chinatown, Broome WA

I ended up buying two pearl pieces whislt living in Broome recently, both came from Willie Creek Pearls. They were very good at providing you with information about pearls and their quality so that you could make a well thought out purchase. They sold good quality pearls for less then the top two most well known brands. They had a great variety of the products I was looking for which were a pendant and earrings.

I throughly recommend buying your pearls in Broome and from Willie Creek pearls because they are some of the best quality in the world and cheaper then buying them in metrpolitan city stores.

This is the salon my husband and I used to get our hair cut at whilst living in Broome recently. We were happy with the quality of cuts and price. The staff listened to what I wanted to achieve with my hair and gave me tips in how to treat it leading up to my wedding.

This review is for Bali Hai Resort Day Spa, Broome WA

This was one of my favourite places to spend a few hours in broome. The Kimberley Hot stone therapy was my favourite, but passion of the pearl and other services like pedicures are good also. The staff are friendly and really try to help you relax. The facilities are great. When you have a treatment like Passion of the pearl you have time to relax in a gorgeous outdoor bathroom with stone shower and hydrotherapy spa. They also offer little extras like a cup of herbal tea to relax with. I once had strated to have a disagreement with them over what I'd booked in for and them saying what I wanted wouldn't fit into my time slot, but when I explained that I had tried to book in correctly and that the treatment was for a special occassion they fit me in and offered a small discount for the confusion. So they try to ensure the customer leaves happy.
