We celebrated my daughter's birthday here. The meals were very tasty and filling, typical Mexican offerings-Enchiladas, Tacos and more. Service was good, there was a problem with my daughter's soft drink but it was replaced quickly and pleasantly. I really enjoyed my Irish Coffee at the end of the meal. We were pleased we had booked a table for 6.30p.m. as the restaurant and carpark were packed by the time we left.

both enjoyed our My daughter and I have had lunch here a couple of times when I have visited Tas. We enjoyed the food on both occasions. Service was pleasant, food was tasty and reasonably priced. Huge servings! Sea food is probably the best option, but other choices are OK too. Good view if you are facing the beach.The toilets are good as they have a handrail. Helpful to those of us who have knee problems!

4 of us met here for a weekday lunch. The food was great, obviously freshly cooked to order as it took an hour to arrive! Worth waiting for if you are planning on a leisurely lunch but not practical if you are on a short lunch break. The waiters were pleasant and brought water to our table as soon as we arrived. The cafe has not been open very long so hopefully the food service will speed up a bit in time. I asked for orange juice but the closed they could offer was banana and mango, which I though was a bit odd. The stools weren't very comfortable to sit on tho there were a few chairs as well.

This review is for Archer Locksmiths Pty Ltd, Chatswood NSW

We have had to call out Archer Locksmiths twice recently. The first time was for a problem with our back door and the second time because the lock on our front security door wouldn't work. On both occasions the trades people came out promptly. They were courteous and helpful and in both cases fixed the problems quickly and efficiently.

The cost was reasonable and we would certainly use this firm again if necessary.

I visited this cafe for lunch with my daughter and her boyfriend. Seats were comfortable, service was good and the place was airy and bright. The food was mostly Greek but there was plenty of choice. I had a very tasty lamb souvlaki, my daughter had mousaka and the friend had fish and chips. The servings were huge!

This review is for Easy Buffet Restaurant, North Ryde NSW

We visited this newly opened "All you can eat" buffet restaurant for lunch. The selection of food was disappointing, the food was cold and my husband's orange juice [already paid for] didn't arrive until I asked about it halfway through the meal. To be fair we were given an extra free orange juice and many apologies. When we were asked how the meal was I said the food was cold, the waitperson offered to warm it up in the microwave. I think they need a bit more time to improve their service and buffet selection. I believe they are soon going to offer A la carte menu as well. Cheap and cheerful probably describes it at present. We may give it another try in a few months time. The chairs are very comfortable! There have been better buffet restaurants on this site in the past.

We used to visit this place when it was Lane Cove River Steak House. It has now been totally renovated and the menu upgraded with a lot more choice. Of course the prices have gone up a bit as well but the food was very good and the service was great although there was only one waiter and he was a bit rushed ! [This was a Monday lunch time]. Our shared entree of dips and bread was generous, interesting and very tasty. Main courses were fine though the lamb in my burger was a tiny bit chewy. We will visit again as this restaurant has only recently reopened and needs a little time to settle in.

I took my TV in to be repaired as it suddenly stopped working. I was charged a non-refundable fee of $66 for the TV to be examined. That money would be deducted from the repair cost if I had the TV fixed. I took my TV in on a Friday and they called me on the Tuesday to say it had been fixed. Pretty prompt service! It only cost another $20 on top of what I had already paid so that was quite reasonable. They would have rung to check before going ahead with repairs if the cost was going to be more than about $120. There is plenty of free parking just outside the door. So far the TV [and attached DVD player] seem to be working fine since the repairs!

My daughter and I had lunch here. We had been given a $50 gift voucher for this restaurant, which just about covered half of the bill for lunch for 2 people! [To be fair we knew it would be expensive as we had checked their website before we went]. Service was impeccable, the food was very tasty though the servings were not over generous.[Maybe we should have also ordered a salad ]. I had confit of pork and my daughter had the salmon. The desserts were reasonably priced and there was a good selection of dishes. My Irish coffee was disappointing, it didn't taste as though it had much whisky in it. This would be a good place to go for a celebration meal.

My daughter and I had afternoon tea here. My pot of tea was strong and tasty, as was my daughter's coffee and lemon meringue slice. Prices are reasonable and the lunch menu looked interesting and cheap. Service was good. This is a small cafe in a new retirement complex. There is an enclosed outdoor children's playground next to the cafe. The cafe is also handy for people visiting the library or living in the the retirement units.

Approximate cost: $12
