This place has recently been revamped and has only been open for a couple of weeks. It looks fantastic. Great for people who appreciate good craft beer such as Little Creatures, Rogers, Stone & Wood etc. They don't stock your average beer like tooheys/hahn.

We went for dinner in a group of six. The entree's were a good size. I tried the potato croquets and chorizo & squid skewers which was presented on a wooden board. For the main I had the salad with grilled haloumi, pickled beetroot and honey sweet potato - tasted great and it was filling too.

Staff are still learning so service is a little slow but I imagine this place will be kicking on well in a few more weeks. Highly recommended.

Average price for beer is $8 and meals $15

What a wonderful little cafe in the heart of McLaren Vale. I grew up in this area but never visited. After living in Brisbane for five years, I went down for a visit on my last trip to Adelaide and caught up with a friend who suggested this place.

The food was amazing. You could tell it was super fresh and they are a small cafe which I think prides itself on using fresh and local ingredients. We also bought a couple of cheeses from the massive selection they have. The triple cream brie was to die for. Best we have ever had.

Service was great too and I will definitely make sure I come down for a visit on my next trip to Adelaide.

I have been taking my dogs to Castelan since 2009, after they were recommended by a friend who left her dogs there for three weeks whilst moving house. I wouldn't consider leaving my dogs any where else.

My female staffy has skin problems and Helen was happy for me to leave my own food to feed her, and they are also accommodating if pets are on medication.

When I dropped my dogs off last visit, I was there a little earlier than opening time. One of the staff members came walking down the drive way and my female staffy went nuts when she saw her! Little bugger doesn't even get that excited when she sees me!

I feel very comfortable leaving my two staffies here, and they always smell good when I pick them up! Highly recommend Helen, Lance and the team at Castelan :)

Approximate cost: $25 per day

I've come here a few times now for breakfast. It's a comfy cafe which also allows dogs in it's outside area.
Service is ok, not the best but the food is brought out pretty quick and tastes great. I love the bircher muesli and will be going back to try the breakfast bruschetta. I would say the pricing is average, what you would normally expect to pay at a cafe. It's a nice cafe in a good location.

Had a very quick response from Gill regarding pricing options for tinting the windows on our Calais.
They unfortunately had to cancel on the day as their window tinter was sick, but fitted us in the following day and provided my partner with a courtesy car so he could get to work.
Car looks great and my partner was really happy with the service :)

This review is for Grill'd, Camp Hill QLD

Terrible Service!! My partner and I came here for a quick burger for lunch.
As we were trying to order one of the girls kept coming up behind the server and distracting him! It only takes couple minutes to order 2 burgers so very annoying she couldn't leave her flirting until after we had ordered. As a result or her distracting him, he stuffed up our order and my partner ended up asking for a refund.
Have to say mine was a nice burger however we won't be going back to Camp Hill Grill'd. Complained to head office and didn't get much of a response.

Love this place! It's a vegan restaurant so no dairy is used in their dishes. I have tried three dishes and they have all been amazing, especially the Laksa. You would not even know the dishes were vegan, they are very tasty. I took my partner here the other day (he's a chef) and he loved it! Will definitely keep going there for a healthy dinner fix.

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for Bel Cibo, Woolloongabba QLD

Went there for breakfast. Was greeted with a "Are you right there?" ( No, I am not right, I want to order!). I ordered 3 meals and 3 drinks, asked for a medium mocha and hard poached eggs with two of the meals, she gave me no eye contact during the order and I felt like she wasn't listening to me properly - I soon found out I was right.

The mocha came out as a small, and when we questioned and asked for a medium as this is what I thought I had paid for she came back and said "oh we don't do medium, only small or large" (Couldn't she tell me this while I was ordering?!)

The meals came out about ten mins after this, The eggs were runnier than my glass of water. I gave it back to her and asked for a refund. She gave the refund with not one apology for any of their mistakes. Will definitely not be going back there again. There is a good reason the other cafes in this area have a line out the door and Bel Cibo doesn't.

Approximate cost: $15.00

This review is for The Sakura Hut, Coorparoo QLD

My partner and I dined here on a Wednesday night. There was only one waitress on so service was a bit slow. We had the Karaage and steamed dumplings for our entree. The karaage was very nice, however the dumplings were not. They came out cold and almost soggy. We still ate anyway, the flavour was nice - just would have been a lot better if they were warm.
For main I had the Sakura Chicken and my partner had the Sizzling Wagyu. We were both very happy with our mains.
Definitely not a fine dining restaurant but a nice place to go for cheapish japanese food.

Approximate cost: $20

I organised for Darren to come round about a year ago after another company did a no-show. I would not consider using anyone else. Darren is extremely friendly and always does a great job. I have him round every 3-4 months just before our rental inspection. He is always on time and I would highly recommend him.
