We go here quite often and the food is consistently good. Love their fish and chip dinners. Good sized portions and competent, friendly staff. Very busy shop so its best to order ahead by phone.

We booked the Romantic Package which costs $470 midweek and $520 for a weekend for a couple. For that, you get 2 nights accommodation, the MOST AMAZING 3 course breakfast each morning, cocktails and canapes each evening, a 3 course french dinner and a 30 minute massage each. The owners Aki and Miyuki are very friendly and welcoming and very talented. Aki's cooking is first class and has to be seen to be believed. It is exactly as it looks on the website and tastes brilliant. The guesthouse accommodates 3-4 couples and everyone dines together in the evening. The rooms are very clean but not very private as you can hear the other guests through the walls, just as you would in your own home. We had never stayed in a bed and breakfast before so perhaps this is normal. This would be an excellent place to go for a weekend with a group of friends or for a party or small wedding.

This takeaway is very reasonably priced but they really need to train their staff. Went there a couple of years ago, asked for an egg and lettuce sandwich and the american staff member had to mash the eggs. I was impressed when she washed the masher but my stomach turned when she dried it on her polar fleece cardigan which was covered in her own hair. I left the shop without the sandwich. They have refurbished the shop since then, but the staff still do not practice good hygiene. The food area was extremely untidy, and while I was waiting I watched one of the cooks eat her own lunch, lick her fingers clean and carry on cooking. Needless to say, I left again without ordering.

Excellent restaurant and takeaway. Good service, beautiful food and very good value. BYO with no corkage charges. They also deliver. HUGE portions. The Meal for One definitely easily feeds two people and at $20 it is very good value. Definitely worth a visit.

Approximate cost: $10

We always passed this Chinese by because it looks a bit old and tired but a friend recommended it so we gave it a try. Very glad we did. Fantastic food and very reasonably priced. Would definitely go here again. Only word of warning would be bring cash. They don't have EFTPOS.

Definitely one of the best buffets in Brisbane. Stunning range of food with choices to please everyone, excellent seafood and free flowing champagne. It is expensive but well worth it. If you want to impress a special someone, this is the place to take them.

This review is for Cork 'n Fork Winery Tours, Tamborine Mountain QLD

This is an absolute MUST DO on Tamborine Mountain. Judi and Peter are a couple that really love their job and Mount Tamborine. Judi picked us up from our Gold Coast hotel and gave us a truly special day to remember. It was so much more than a wine tour, she told us the history of the mountain, took us to the most scenic places and passed on a love of Mount Tamborine that has kept us coming back again and again. Without doing this tour, we would never have realised how much there was to do on the Mountain and what a special part of the world it is. The meal included in the package was fantastic, the wines we tasted were all outstanding and as we had never been to the Mountain before, Judi even took us to the Distillery, the Cheese Factory and showed us the best parking places for the market! We didn't feel like we were on a tour, but rather a day out with a long time friend. Thank you so much for an amazing and terrific experience.

Fantastic place to meet friends and share a bottle of Jojo's champagne. Jojos has a great atmosphere and the staff are always friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. The food is ok, there's a really good choice with something for everyone, but it's not gourmet dining. Love the style and location of Jojos/ Great place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Avoid, avoid, avoid. Dreadful service from uninterested staff. We had four people at our table and two were served 20 minutes before the other couple. Food was stone cold when it finally did arrive and very poor quality. Couldn't help noticing that every meal served while we were there was returned to the kitchen. Restrooms were filthy, floors sticky and dirty. We will never go back.

Approximate cost: $24-$28

Fantastic experience, very friendly professional staff who make you feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed. This salon definitely has the WOW factor. Very clean, private changing areas, lockers are provided for your personal items and all the equipment is state of the art, including a stunning tanning booth. Waxing was the best I have ever had, great spray tan too. Came out feeling completely rejuvenated. I will defintely be back again and again.
