A very long time ago when we were in another house we selected tiles from here for our bathroom renovations. I went back here as one of my first visits and was very disappointed. The selection of tiles had reduced and was not anything out of the ordinary. The staff completely ignored me and really a probably could have found something with their assistance but due to the lack of interest I found something better elsewhere. It seemed a bit on the pricey side especially since they were not offering anything too out the the ordinary.

We have just got some tiles from here and have been very impressed with the service and products they offer. Great range of tiles - some absolutely gorgeous tiles that would be stunning no matter what style your house would be. Some are hand made in Spain and just individual and gorgeous. Pricing seems reasonable in comparison to other stores especially considering they have some that are so different than all the rest. Delivery time quoted was quoted spot on and they were easy to work with in deciding what tile might be the best for us.

Great food here, high quality Japanese food. The sushi boat was delish as a shared entree, I never had scallop sashimi before but would go again just for that. The only thing that distracted from this is the place was very uncomfortable seating arrangements and I was well and truly ready to leave by the time we had finished. You sit on a hard bench will no back and I was not the only one very uncomfortable. Good to go with a group as you can share your meals and get to taste more dishes than if you were just two or so people.

I just attended a scoopon voucher class here for animal prints on cupcakes. The usual teacher was away sick but they had a good replacement with one of the cake decorators for that store. I was happy with the format and the teaching. I enjoyed it more than I had expected to and very happy with the results. They had it all set out when I arrived and we all got three cupcakes to decorate (that they had precooked and supplied). We even got a methods printout to takeaway and a certificate stating that we had done the course. I will attend a class here again when the opportunity again rises. There was a small sales push but nothing out of the ordinary and the store seemed quite well stocked.

I have been here twice now. The first time was reasonable and the food was ok. The second was terrible and I probably wont go back again. The parking is very difficult around that area and I must admit it is a busy joint despite being not easy to find. We arrived at around 1:30 for coffee and cake and was told very aggressively that the kitchen closes at 2pm and we must order now. We didn't need anything cooked so this was not a problem for us but the staff bustled around us and appeared desperate to pack up and leave. They were also extremely rude to the follow customers that arrived and none of the staff were nice to any of the customers. The place was not very clean and the whole experience was far from relaxing. Unfortunate as they have done a good job in setting this up in an old railway carriage it has such potential. As mentioned it is tucked away and not easy to find but I wouldn't bother there are so many other places to go to in Adelaide.

Had dinner here Friday night. The place was packed! Actually was hard getting a park so definetly worth booking if having dinner here. We ate in the bristo section. The service was excellent and the food was good quality and cooked well. Bit of a limited menu in terms of choice. We ordered a fattoush salad that came out a bit unusual not at all like a have seen, eaten and read up on in the past. The seats were terrible - so uncomfortable that by the time we finished dinner we couldn't wait to get up and out. We may have stayed for desert if it wasn't so bad. Prices were ok maybe a bit on the pricey side - $30-$36 for a steak. A very large mix in types of people and age. Not a bad place to go for a good meal just not a long lesiurely one.

Tried this with my daughter last week. A play gym or otherwise known as kindergym set up seperate in a building out the back of the marion fitness centre. A large room set up for a gymnastic club - not bad facitlities with padded floors through. Not too many kids there on the day but being the first week back it sounded as though it was a slow week. Casual visits on $7 for the hour and I think cheaper if you buy a number of visit passes at once. Quite a distance from the main gym right at the back of the carpark, long way for little ones to go considering you have to go right up the front to pay. The teacher for this class was good very enthusiastic, young and energetic. The age guideline is 3-5 years old, my daughter being only just turned 3 almost seemed a bit too young for the equipment set up but she still had a ball.

Approximate cost: $7/class

We went to a party here over christmas time. It was a boys 6th birthday. The party was enjoyed by all but I must say my kids are not big on lego and so they seemed a little lost. The staff did make an effort to help those in that situation. They managed the big group of kids well. They have a huge array of lego that they have full access to but as a mum of real girly girls I would have liked to see a few more pieces available that are a bit more girl orientated. Most of the girls seemed to go fine I just thought for such a huge array that it would be nice to see. Not huge amount of food was supplied but the kids were busy constructing anyway.

My 6yr old daughter did her first class here the other night. She had a ball and is very keen to go back again. The set up is quite impressive with a huge array of equipment to be utilised. The staff to kid ratio was really good also and they were all so tolerant and positive with the kids. My daughter has done a small amount of gymnastics in the past and has spent most of the time lining up waiting for her turn on the limited equipment. This is not cheap for about $21/lesson for her age grp (6-8 yr olds) but considering for the full hour she is hands on most of the time and alot of staff available to help technique it is probably worth it.

Approximate cost: $21/lesson

My daughter did gymnastics here last year for a term. She is 6 years old and so was in a general beginners class. I was very disappointed with the majority of the instructors that took the girls through the lesson. They were very young which in itself is not a problems but the majority did not know how to run a class or 5 and 6 years olds and often the girls (including my daughter) were confused as to what they were supposed to do and they didn't even seem to notice. My daughter didn't progress at all and you could see over the weeks a huge decline in numbers. Very little imagination in the class set up and week to week they did very similar things. I did kindergym here for a short time with my daughter also which initially was ok until they lost the staff member that ran it and put it a lady that didn't know any songs etc and looked to the mothers to run and decide on songs and sing them etc. Not much has changed all these years later.
