Since it's been renovated it's a great spot to catch up with friends and have lovely coffee and cakes. Loved the look of the menu so will definitely be going back for lunch and soon to be open for dinner - really look forward to that. You can sit outdoors which really makes it a village atmosphere.

Approximate cost: $20

Went there on weekend and boy it has gone downhill. The restaurant only had 4 tables occupied yet the service was poor. Meals came out at different times and one of the meals served was incorrect. The waiter took it back to the chef who said it was correct and that is how it is served. How rude and unobliging. We ordered papardelle ragu - I think we all know what ragu sauce is - this came with meatballs on top and when we queried it the chef said "that is ragu". We ordered a different pasta and it was tasteless and partially cooked. The eggplant in the dish was awful and rubbery. The prices are not exactly cheap so they definitely need to pull their finger out. They are lucky they are still in business considering most of the other places have closed down.

Approximate cost: $28

Just completing a free one week trial. I must say I've been really impressed, haven't been to a gym in 25 years. Looks very clean, equipment is great and plenty of it, classes I have tried are really great and the instructors very friendly. Classes are very popular which is also a good sign.

Went to the cafe downstairs for lunch. Atmosphere is quite good, cafe was busy, menu looked quite good although small. The meals we had sounded better than they looked or tasted. My friend had the beef bourgignon pie with salad, she said it was a bit dry but the salad was tasteless, although they say they use dressing - they def need to improve on it as she left most of it. I ordered the grilled veg salad with feta and chick peas, the taste was fairly good but the portion was on the small side, so think they could give you a little more.

Sam is the most honest tradie I've met. He was upfront with all his costs, very friendly and did an excellent job. He itemised everything he was doing and advised the cost beforehand. I would highly recommend his services - good to see there are still honest people in the trade who don't want to overcharge! He also doesn't charge a callout fee.

Great for a local supermarket as they have a good range and the items are never past their use by which can happen in smaller places. Good fresh fruit and veg although fairly expensive. The deli section is great with a lovely fresh selection and many specials which are tempting. A great range of gourmet and GF breads also!

Love going to this shop, always something yummy to try on their counter either hot or cold. The staff are very knowledgeable and really helpful. I must say the selection of herbal teas makes it difficult to choose - it's huge! I've now gone from buying boring tea bags in the supermarket to enjoying loose leaf tea in a teapot - a much nicer taste and more natural!

This review is for The Salon For Hair, Turramurra NSW

Used to go to this salon, service is very good and the quality of their colour/cut is excellent. It's fairly expensive as I recall paying $100 for a hair cut, but I know there are many salons this end of the north shore that charge $$$. My only criticism is if I book with a certain hairdresser I want them to also blow dry my hair, not give that job to somebody else less experienced as I have very wavy thick hair.

Approximate cost: $100

This review is for Pizzacutters, Wahroonga NSW

Pretty good, well compared to pizza hut or similar. They have an extensive menu and GF options which is great. The prices are fairly pricey but happy to pay that for better quality. You can also ring ahead to order which def saves time!

We used to come to this restaurant often and the food was really lovely. In the past few years I think the management has changed a couple times and seems to be going downhill. The food was really average and not very hot. The girls are friendly but could do with a bit more training. This place really needs a kick up the b** - in such a great trading position they need to lift their game

Approximate cost: $27
