I was pleasantly surprised coming here! I was grabbing something to eat before a movie and this place was the only one open. Even though we were running late we stayed and ate in as it was so pretty and the ambience was great. Food was nice also. We have big appetites and servings were on the smaller side but I would come here again!

Approximate cost: $24

The first couple of times I came here I was really impressed. I love my ice cream and the man serving was always really friendly and was very generous with the scoops. I have come in 3 times after that (yeah I know...waistline!!) but unfortunately he hasnt been there and I have been served by a lady who gives me half the size that I am used to. I am taking a break as last time I went in for a free birthday scoop she made me buy 1 to qualify...I will come back, I notice different staff but for now I will embrace the treadmill or take up a healthier snack. Yeah, right!

Approximate cost: $7

This review is for Beauty On Kings, Kings Beach QLD

I'm from Melbourne and very picky about who I choose as a beauty therapist. Away from my local beauty therapists I felt anxious, I take my upkeep seriously! I hovered over reviews, visited the most reviewed salons and was disappointed with the pricing and the fact that no one had medical grade microdermabrasions. Normal facials I can do at home myself without the price tag. Imagine my sheer joy when on the way to pick up tissues from IGA to wipe away the tears of disappointment I walked by a pink sign that promised 2 micros for $90 !! I pay over 100 for one so I promptly booked myself in. I am overjoyed at the results and services provided by the lovely,warm, foxy and appropriately named Casi Fox. She is a breath of fresh air and very experienced in what she does. No trainee doing my waxes thanks! I encourage everyone in the area to visit this magician to look and feel great !! Casi you are a lifesaver !!

I was dabbling in voucher deals from 'ourdeal' and purchased one for here. I wasn't expecting much for $29 for 2 people with wine,main course and entrée. I was assuming bad service. I was wrong! We were warmly greeted to a reserved table by the window. We ordered a bottle of shiraz and it was lovely. The waitress was attentive and everything was brought out quickly. I loved the ambience. Candles on the table and gorgeous décor. However the service was outstanding! Ordered steaks and the food was average but I am very picky. There was a lot of fat on my steak but everything else was great. Will be back for sure, they even shook our hands on the way out....brilliant people!!

This review is for LivingSocial, Sydney NSW

I have learnt an expensive lesson. Do not dabble in professional services listed by these people.
Bought a voucher for gardening from Diamond building maintenance. The company was very dodgy, kept rescheduling and failed to show up, not once but twice. The director is a very young girl which responds to emails with love hearts and smileys. Alarm bells should have rung but I got sucked in. Further research tells me they only use voucher sites. Not sure if they have a valid abn or are real as such.
Anyway they didn't provide and I lost over a hundred dollars as livingsocial doesn't take any responsibility. In fact this is how they profit. Unused vouchers and dodgy busineses. The customer 'service' was rude and illiterate. Always spoke to a different person and sent a generic email. Had to find them through Facebook to be acknowledged. Stress and anxiety overload as it is very difficult communicating with a party that doesn't care. Went through consumer affairs and they couldn't even get a response. Next step is paying more via VCAT. Ugh...horrendous!!!

Approximate cost: $100

This review is for The Quarter, Melbourne VIC

I always pass these outdoor cafes and think they look too busy for my liking but I have to review this one as it seems I keep popping in whenever I am in the CBD.
My first visit was late at night after birthday drinks. Famished I was not expecting much but my pasta was delicious (and I usually avoid pasta!)...serving was great and I left content and full thankfully staying in a nearby hotel to sleep off my food coma.
I went back in there today with fond memories, hoping to make new ones. Again they did not disappoint. Opting for something healthier and lighter I went with 'morroccon chicken' and my partner 'braised lamb' ...I must admit I practically ate both of them! My chicken had pistachios, dukkah,spinach and other flavours that made sweet music on my taste buds. I don't even usually eat spinach leaving that to fictional Popeye characters or health nuts but I cleaned up my plate!
My partner smacked me away from his but I did manage to sneak a few bites. The lamb was sweet and slow cooked so melted in my mouth.
Staff are friendly but being busy and cramped you don't really get bothered by them.

Approximate cost: $19

I really love pancakes and enjoyed my meal here. Serving was larger then my usual at my local franchise which was great (but my waist did not agree) Will be back!

Lisa is a professional talented woman who loves what she does-and it shows! I was lucky enough to be a model for her services and I was amazed at the results! I especially love her skills at creating the perfect eye makeup...from subtle to dark and glam...will definitely look her up again, she also does hair so she's the one to pick for your wedding or any event you want to look your best in!

This review is for Quay West Suites, Brisbane QLD

stayed here for my Birthday weekend. It did not disappoint. I loved the pool area, truly immaculate and the view from the balcony onto the adjacent parkland's was superb! Great facilities but spent most my days by the pool or unfortunately on the desk - working...but boy there could not have been a better place. Everything is close by as well which really helped as we had dinner out all nights!
Great staff, great place recommended to all my friends and family!
Will definitely be back once I move to Queensland for our weekends away!
