A very good vet. They have a range of vets available and all off them are very good. They really care about animals and are very good with them.
One of our dogs had a life threatening emergency and they dealt with him fantastically. They give you advice, but don't pressure you to pick any course of action. When my little dog was deathly ill, the vet wasn't afraid to advise us of the best course of action, but she still gave us our other options.
Fairly expensive, but then again, most things in Darwin are, so the price is comparable.
We took our dog in in an emergency as she was throwing up blood. This vet didn't seem to care about animals. he barely looked at the dog, let alone touched her, just sent us on our way. We thought we'd try him because he was close to home, but walked out and took the dog straight to the other vet where he actually treated her. A very disappointing experience.
I was very disappointed with the demeanor of the vet. Whilst her advice was fine, and she knew what she was doing, she was very curt with me and treated me like an idiot. I did not feel comfortable here and never went back.
They specialise in breakfast, doing an all day breakfast with a huge range of options, but also do a good lunch menu. The produce is top quality and the meals are great. The menu is really creative, offering some great alternatives to the average cafe brekky.
The ambience is not the best and you might have a little trouble finding it, but you won't be disappointed if you make the effort.
Approximate cost: $12
As the other reviewers have said, this place has the best Chinese food in the Sutherland Shire. Even though it doesn't look the best, the food is fantastic. It more than matchwes what you can buy in Chinatown.
Approximate cost: $10
Good pizza, especially for an area with very few Italians. Lots o good quality toppings and generous sizes.
The service is quite fast, but we have had problems getting them to answer the phone. Have actually had to go down and order in person which is a pain, because then we have to hang around waiting for the pizza to cook.
Approximate cost: $12
I have generally had great experience with this place and they were one of my favourite places to pick up a quick meal when I lived in Sutherland, but the management seems to have changed and the food is not what it once was. I haven't seen "the Noodle Man" or Mrs Noodle Man for quite some time.
The last few times I have called to order, they had run out of everything I wanted. The last time it was only 6pm so I must assume they are just not offering these dishes but have not yet changed the menu. They have been a Sutherland institution for years, but now are just a bog standard noodle shop which is very disappointing. If they do have new management, I'd advise that they try to keep the standards and variety up to the levels of the old owners.
Approximate cost: $9
The Chinese dishes are good quality for a local Chinese restaurant, but the Thai dishes leave a lot to be desired. The green curry appears to be thickened with cornflour rather than coconut milk. Their Thai food does not resemble any Thai I have ever eaten.
However, as I said, the Chinese food is very good, and we are regular visitors for that reason.

We just moved out of Melbourne and I miss this place dearly. Their food is great and the serving sizes are mind blowing, be prepared for leftovers. They have a great variety of dishes, so there's something for everybody. love! Love! Love!
Approximate cost: $16.00
They have both a sushi train and an a la carte menu. I'm not a big fan of sushi, so I have stuck with the a la carte. Their udon is wonderful as is their sashimi. They even provide real seasoning for the udon which is a rarity. You can order any of the sushi train dishes made to order as well. The few we have had have been great.
