We tried this pizza restaurant for the first time after noticing it and were very impressed with the quality.

For starters it was very handy they deliver to neighbouring suburbs which was helpful and I was able to pay via credit card over the phone when i called the restaurant.

we ordered a couple of pizzas for our family and found them to be excellent quality.

the base is very thin which is exactly what i love. the toppings were generous and vary from pizza to pizza.

there are a good selection of gourmet ones as well as traditional pizzas.

i ordered one with potatoe, bacon, mozzarella and olives which was very light and delicious. sorry can't recall the name.

other meal options are available including pastas, meat dishes, salads and entrees.

i found the pizzas to be delicious and I look forward to ordering again from this restaurant and in future dining in and trying other lovely italian meals on the menu

We have been to this medical centre on a couple of occasions as our usual doctor from another clinic was unavailable.

I heard good things about this clinic from friends who live locally.

One time I arrived without an appointment, but the receptionist was obliging to fit me in. I only waited about 20 minutes to be seen by a doctor.

The receptionist had a pleasant manner in greeting me and asking me to fill in registration form.

The doctors who we have consulted were friendly and professional in their mannerism towards me.

The clinic does offer bulk billing too.

I received a recommendation from a friend about this local physio after
being in pain. I rang up in the morning and pleaded for an urgent
appointment with the polite receptionist saying due to my pregnancy my
lower back was very sore. I was so happy to get an appointment the same
day. ..

I have seen different physiotherapists on each occasion (depends on
availability of when i made the appointment). Each person was
professional, and friendly in their consultation.

the reception staff are lovely, very friendly ladies who i enjoy seeing
each time i attend for a visit.

you can claim your consultation via your health insurance if you are
entitled to do so.

lots of parking available as its situated in the carpark of Epping Plaza
shopping centre

Approximate cost: $80

we were in the area on a Sunday and found this cozy cafe via entertainment book with the voucher you get 25% off the bill.

As soon as we arrived the friendly waitress was very efficient to offer us table water and asked if we wanted a coffee to start with ... needless to say hubby and i obliged as we were much needing a coffee hit.

of particular note the decaf coffee blend was absolutely divine as it was smooth and rich in flavour which certainly did not feel like i was drinking decaf

we got a big breakfast which was very generous portioned, 2 pieces sour dough toast, bacon rashes, spinach, pork & fennell sausage (which is absolutely beautiful), grilled tomatoe and eggs. Menu states its poached but the waitress was very obliging to have them made scrambled for me

a very satisfying breakfast which was freshly cooked and we hardly waited at all for it.

very friendly staff which made the experience even more enjoyable!

happy to recommend

We had sunday morning breakfast at this restaurant so to make use of the entertainment book voucher.

we ordered the big breakfast which was certainly not an exaggeration! very tasty and delicious though
2 thick slices of toast, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, baked beans (which were in a lovely tomato sauce but tasted under cooked to me), chorizo sausage.

gosh we struggled to it ......

coffees were good not sure of the brand

nice location by the water! my only complaint is that diners are allowed to smoke outside at the tables!

Approximate cost: $20

First time we dined here and were very impressed. on arrival its a very elegant restaurant, being a sat night a band was playing live music in the front lounge.

we were seated by a friendly waitress who was very attentive to our needs and ensured our dietary requirements were met.

we ordered to share entree of beef croquettes which were exquisite filled with tender beef

for mains we had steak which were cooked to perfection. i asked for well done .. and it certainly was, some places burn the outside of the meat but the chef certainly did not do this

the side dishes cost extra $10 each .. hot chips in a generous size bowl and carrots.

beautiful meal very delicious and worth the expense! yes its pricey but entertainment card gave us 25% off the bill which was great.

Approximate cost: $35

I absolutely love this place!! its an Italian restaurant outlet situated on the upper level food court in Emporium.

this is my go to place when i want authentic italian pizza .... where its a generous size and pastry is thin as its meant to be.
importantly the toppings are fresh and delicious and gourmet

i had gnocchi with a cream sauce & mushrooms and it was divine, i wish my plate was double portion as it was creamy tasting and the chopped mushrooms gave it a nice flavour.

credit cards are accepted.

staff are friendly and patient while you take your time deciding what to have.

Approximate cost: $15

A few days my friend/work colleague and I dined here for lunch on our work lunch break. Being a relatively new restaurant we were keen to try it out.

there was a $15 lunch special for pizza or pasta which we found to be very good value. (saving a few dollars from regular prices)

My friend had lasagna which she truly enjoyed. i tried a bite and was delicious .... not quite good as my mum would make but very good quality!

i had a pizza with roasted vegies and i asked for italian sausage to be added. it was a very generous serve and i struggled to finish it ... well i did not eat the crust hahaha

very fresh and delicious we did not wait too long to have our meals brought to us by the friendly wait staff.

authentic italian food and pizzas served by italian speaking waiters which makes it an enjoyable dining experience!

We came here for a girls lunch on weekday and absolutely loved. we sat outside in the winter sunshine and were warmly greeted by the friendly waitress.

we ordered the lunch specials of $15 each which included a soft drink or glass wine or fruit punch with a main. we ordered nandos to share and enchiladas with beef.

absolutely delicious and full of flavour. best of all the plates were piping hot, i was worried for the waitress not burning herself!!

portions were good size

definitely going back again!!

I tried this restaurant for the first time the other day as I was keen for Thai cuisine. Unfortunately my first impressions of a lovely modern cafe/restaurant left me a bit disappointed after my meal

i ordered a red curry chicken with steamed rice $11.50 which was reasonable priced.

the curry itself was sweet, little spicy and thick with the chicken pieces as i would describe as PROCESSED CHICKEN LOAF EQUIVALENT!!! i was absolutely surprised to find this in my meal ... to me it was not real pieces of chicken as the texture and taste was something out of a deli and not chicken thigh or breast.

there was a few vegies thrown in too which were okay

Its a modern thai restaurant and I hope management take notice to improve their quality of chicken

sorry i am not going back again!
