For such a swanky venue the food here is surprisingly cheap although the drinks aren't. It has a great outdoor area for drinks after work. Everyone is in suits and ties and it is already buzzing mid afternoon on a Friday.

I would rate these guys much higher if it wasn't so expensive. I got charged way over $100/hr for labour. And then you have to add cost of parts etc on top of that. They have great service though as go out of their way to get things done when u need them and are flexible.

This place does have good food and most options come with dipping sauce which is great. As I love sauce. The salt and pepper prawns were amazing but you can't go too wrong with deep fried food. The chicken in the yellow curry was very chunky and I would have liked some veggies but it still tasted good. The chicken and prawn pancakes were in fact a rice paper roll and were quite nice too. Parking is not easy and expect to have to wait for a table. We had to wait 30 mins on a Tues night so I would hate to think what it is like on fri or the weekend but the food comes out very fast once you order which is good as you will not be wanting to sit and relax for too long on the little plastic stools.

I am absolutely in love with the beef lasagna supplied by this place. It is soooo buttery..yum! You definitely need to grill or toast and crisp up the top though as it tastes a bit funny if it is just warmed up. Massive slices and I don't think it is diet food but soo yum. They also have a large range of pastries and fritattas as well and there is a vegetarian lasagna which looks just as decadent but I am yet to try it as having something than the beef with me is not an option

My dad still raves about the ribs here...they just melt in your mouth! Alhough I am pretty sure most ribs do that.. well ribs at somewhere with a decent chef anyway. IT seems as though the menu is based a bit around the whole head to toe philosophy of food (although not quite as much as the four in hand) as there is quite a lot of offal on offer which may put off some people (ie me) but I guess it is also good for others. Each to their own!

This place has a massive collection of sweets so you are sure to find your favourite. We got a box of 5 to share between a few of us. I did not get to choose so my judgement may be slightly inaccurate because the cakes and pastries chosen were not what I would have selected but I found they were really were all a bit too sweet. The ricotta cheesecake had a very gingery taste and there was not enough caramel in the banoffie pie. All i got was the base and cream. The base tasted very good though!

There is a good range of pre prepared pastas if you are not keen on cooking but it is certainly not cheap and lets be honest pasta and sauce is not exactly hard and lengthy to make at home. I do like the fact that you can mix and match ie have 2 or 3 flavours in the same takehome tub. The lasagnas are not the best but they are better than those in a supermarket! They serve decent coffee too which is good.

This library does not charge for you to use the internet which is great when all you want to do is print something. I hate when I have to pay by the hr to use the computer when all i need is a few seconds to access the document to print. There is not many computers though so could be a prob if busy but I have never had to wait. Printing is also only 20c a page. Limited opening hrs though which can be annoying as they are not the same each day either.
Approximate cost: $20c
After searching the whole of Bondi Junction for some brown boots I could not find any that I liked. Even the really expensive styles were just not quite right. I usually don't shop in Double Bay as it is so expensive but these are all genuine italian shoes and the pretty much the same price as you would find at all the big chain stores and cheaper than some too. They had more of a range than the whole of Bondi Junction and the whole store was 30% off. You can also browse all their shoes online on the website.
Approximate cost: $271
I usually head down to Chemist Warehouse in Rosebay although it is further from my house to purchase tablets as everything seems to be cheaper at Chemist Warehouse but I was in a hurry so thought I would duck in here as a once off. To my surprise they had a generic brand of the medication so it was cheaper than chemist warehouse and I got served straight away! There is always a wait at Chemist Warehouse.
