I went here with a friend who had been here many times before and raved about it. Needless to say, she was as disappointed as I was. It was about 45 minutes before they arrived with a wine cooler for my BYO white wine, and by that stage it was quite warm. We were seated like sardines in a can, with barely enough walk room between tables - we were seated in a corner behind a wall, where getting waitstaff's attention was quite difficult.
The mixed entrees we ordered had dry and char-grilled chicken, and the curry puff was a mushroom puff, with no curry flavour and packed with mushrooms.
The mains were just as bad, with mushrooms as the main vegetable (was there a special this week?????) and only a scattering of other vegies. My curry had a MASSIVE chunk of potato that would have required knives to chop up. Not a very plesant experience.

New place in Cronulla, looked busy so we gave it a try. My char-grilled octopus was VERY burnt and basically inedible. The salad was drenched in oil and that was about it. It was very bland. Hubby's chicken parma was average and my sister-in-law's fish and chips quite a small serve. Seating area is very squashy.
Their cocktails are nice but a bit pricey. They need to do something about the aucoustics in this place as it is very noisy. There are much nicer places to eat in Cronulla.

This review is for Nata Forte, Sydney NSW

Nata sung at our wedding in September 2010. Her voice was beautiful and she knew many songs that I wanted. The booking experience was professional and Nata is willing to sing lines of songs over the phone and suggests songs that may suit.

Unfortunately (due to the situation), I had to ask Nata two months later to sing at my aunt's funeral. Again, Nata was professional over the phone and sung lines of songs that may suit each moment. Her voice again was amazing.

I will definitely choose Nata again if I need a singer and will gladly suggest her to anyone who needs one.

I know some people who rave about this butcher. After spending about 15 minutes trying to get a park behind the store when there was no on-street parking, I was disappointed that this place didn't live up to the hype.
The New York Steak for $10.99 was good value but I found the chicken breast and bacon at average price. The have a limited range in the window and because it was so busy it was hard to see what products were on offer. I went out of my way to come here and probably won't come again because of the parking situation.

This is such a cute little book store tucked away in a corner of Caringbah. It has a great range of children's books and staff are friendly. They will order items if you request it. Definitely one to remember!

Came here for a function. Staff were very organised and helpful. Antipasto was delicious, especially the olives and squid. Pizzas and pastas can do with a bit more flavour. Pastas were lukewarm.

This place is huge! They stock a lot of items. They are a bit of a mix with prices - sometimes they are good value and other times quite expensive. Their aquarium plants are a great price. It is often hard to find staff to help you.

I have been here a couple of times to buy chicks and chicken food. The chicks were healthy and the staff were helpful in getting us set up. They even help you take your items to your car - definitely old fashioned customer service!
Some products are cheaper online - I buy my chicken feed online and select pick up at the store.

Every time I come here the fish do not look very healthy and the tanks unkept. Service needs improving. This place is quite expensive compared to other places.

We love getting our aquarium plants from here as they have some of the best prices in Sydney. Good little aquarium. Always busy so be prepared to wait for service. All the tanks are clean with healthy fish. They even stock tropical fish and coral.
