I wouldn't even consider leaving my cat "Pikelet" anywhere else. Although this is an hours drive it is the most amazing place for him. The staff are wonderful and treat your pet as though they are their own. Pikelet came back looking and smelling wonderful. Cannot thank them enough.

The past two times my family have eaten here our meals have been terrible. The last time I ordered the chicken schnitzel it was raw! When I took it up to the counter the lady was very rude and said "didn't you order it rare?". My reply was simply "it's chicken". There is a nice bar there though but as a family diner I won't visit again. Also don't like all the outside area being reserved for smokers.

Approximate cost: $17.00

This local chicken shop could be wonderful. Unfortunately it falls short when it comes to their service and chickens. I find their service to be rude and rushed and their chicken's lack flavor and are always dry. Their gravy is gluggy and artificial to taste. Good salad selection though. If you order a chicken roll, you need to tell them you want breast only otherwise they use all the bad bits on your roll.

I've been to Inferno Cafe a few times with little problems however on my last visit I ordered the salt and pepper calamari with salad. I got half way through my main and found a dead bug in my salad. I can forgive this although it's not acceptable. The Manager ordered me a replacement. When my replacement arrived the lettuce was bone dry, and I found a LIVE bug crawling on my plate. Shocking! Clearly the cook didn't wash the lettuce again. I would not go back. The Manager gave us our soft drinks for free and removed my meal from the bill, but this doesn't change what happened. Order salad here with caution!

This is one of the best pizza and pasta restaurants in the area. The food is always mouth watering and consistent regardless of the day. Pizza's are loaded with toppings and are not greasy or heavy to digest.

Wonderful atmosphere, great food and friendly service staff. Food portions are probably a bit on the small side, however their banquet menu is well worth the money if you have a group of four or more people.
