This review is for Parea Greek Tavern, Kogarah NSW

verified email - 03 Apr 2011

Between 6 of us we had the Set Menu at $36. I think the serves were a little on the skimpy side although the Greek Salad was quite generous. No complaints about the food though (baked haloumi, char grilled octopus, chicken & lamb - very tender). Waiters were quite attentive but not overly so. The Airconditioning seemed to be directed straight onto our table which made us freezing - so we mentioned it to the waiter who was adamant the aircon was not on and shut the window next to us - then admitted "Oh yes it is on" and very kindly turned it off. The booth style seat along the wall is impossibly low and could do with being at least another 20mm higher - and that's coming from all the guys in our party who had to sit on that side.

We recently had a great night here with friends and the waiters were very attentive and created a fun convivial atmosphere which made it very enjoyable. The food recommendations were all spot on.

This review is for Manion Wiseman & Munk, Brighton Le Sands NSW

I have had a 13-year association with this family medical practice and I feel the doctors are very caring and seem to remember who you are from visit to visit including the reception staff. It helps that the same reception staff have worked here for the duration of my association and longer. All staff are very much on top of all the issues and if the doctor is in the slightest way concerned about an issue, will call the patient at home or work to discuss and make a special appointment. They also bulk bill when appropriate. I hope to have a much longer association with this practice in years to come.

Approximate cost: $60-90

This review is for St Mount's Trattoria, Blackheath NSW

This is a great quaint little place on a coolish evening in Spring and most likely a very warming place on a cold winter's night. We were here at the end of winter and were really happy to get in the door into the warmth. The atmosphere was very lively, warm and cosy. We had wonderful attentive waiters (not overly-attentive), the food was great and arrived at the right time. Very reasonably priced.

Approximate cost: $22

This review is for Huskisson Bakery & Cafe, Huskisson NSW

Lovely cakes, pastries, pies etc but a little bit expensive. I love the concept of being able to visit a bakery & have a coffee at the same time. This bakery has a lovely little veranda at the side where you can sit and have your coffee & cake amongst the hustle and bustle of not only Huskisson but the bakery itself. There has never been a time that I have visited this place when there have been less than 10 customers at a time.

What a wonderful little place this is. A picture theatre where you can buy a glass of wine and take it into the movie with you. This place attracts a very relaxed, educated crowd. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I go to this restaurant quite a lot and the food is always fabulous. We only have to order a couple of dishes between us and we are quite full. I can especially recommend the Goat Curry. Our bill at the end of the night is always reasonable (about $25 each). The atmosphere in this place is always as though there's a huge party going on. I am going there again in less than 2 weeks and can't wait.

Approximate cost: $8

This review is for Gambino Hair, Sydney NSW

verified email - 01 Dec 2009

Each time I go to Gambino Warwick knows exactly who I am and takes up where we left off when it comes to my hairstyle. He approaches it as though it is a work in progress with direction. Always does a great job at cutting and finishing off and the price is great considering it is in the city.

Approximate cost: $75

This review is for Beanbah Espresso, Sydney NSW

I only have to walk up the steps into this cafe and the barista already has my coffee on. I have no idea how he remembers what I am having with so many regular customers but he makes a great cappuccino and is very generous with the chocolate sprinkles.

This review is for Gloria Jeans, Rockdale NSW

The guys who run Gloria Jeans in the Plaza always have a smile and deliver your coffee to you by name making you feel like one of the regulars. Whenever I am at the plaza I always make a point of getting my coffee at Gloria Jeans especially for this experience. Thanks Guys
