This review is for The Burger Bistro, Leederville WA

verified email - 26 May 2011

This casual style restaurant is one of te many up-market burger places around. I found the atmosphere of this place enjoyable (we sat in the alfresco area on Oxford St).Lots of fun burger names and plenty of types to choose from. The burger I ordered was the Lamburgini, which was packed with lamb, salad and a tasty beetroot aioli (needed a few napkins to clean myself up). The quality of the food and service was great and I will definitely return. For $12 - 18 the burgers are pretty well priced for a filling meal.

Approximate cost: $15

We regularly order food to be delivered from this restaurant (delivery is free to local areas). The restaurant itself is very tired and drab, but the food is amazing. Their website offers a interactive look at the menu with photos as you click on each item. You can then create an order list which gives you the amount of your order. You still need to ring up to order but the website helps you to plan and decide! Delivery is quick and always much faster than what they say on the phone. My favourite is the Thai Green Chicken Curry - I know it's a common dish, but they way they cook it is so tasty. Recommended for delivery only unless you don't mind sitting in a dimly lit room with old decor.

This review is for Brighton Fish and Chips Supply, Innaloo WA

This is the best fish and chips shop in our local area. The food is never overcooked or soggy and if you order ahead, they usually have your order ready in the time they said they would on the phone (which means no waiting around in the shop). The cost is also much cheaper than some of the other fish and chips shops around. What more can I say - recommended if you are in the area.

This review is for Phi Yen, Northbridge WA

I have been to this restaurant a few times to catch up with friends and family. The atmosphere is casual, the decor is a bit dated, but fun with a Vietnamese flavour. Service is always friendly, but when the restaurant is busy you can wait a while to be served and for your food, which isn't a problem for us as we don't go when we are in a rush. The food and the value is what have caused us to return again and again. There are so so many dishes to choose from but I have always incorporated the stirfried chicken with chilli, lemongrass and garlic into our order. The spring rolls are also delicious. This really is a great place to go and try out some new dishes. The staff are always happy to recommend something.

This review is for Boulevard Hotel, Floreat WA

verified email - 25 May 2011

Since the owners of the Brisbane Hotel took over this business (formerly the Floreat Hotel) the atmosphere, service and food have improved dramatically. I have been here a few times on different days of the week and enjoyed some great tapas out in the beer garden. The decor and furnishings work really well and the way they have enclosed the outdoor area makes it much more private and suitable for dining. The staff we encountered were all really friendly and happy to help with recommendations from the menu. A great place to catch up with friends after work. Though weekend nights tend to be a lot busier and more suitable for drinks as opposed to dining.

This review is for Vivisen Teahouse, Fremantle WA

I have been here on a number of occasions and this would have to be one of my favourite places to eat in Fremantle. Vivisen offers organic food and drink including their special Goji health tea. We always order the Dim Sum to share and choose about 4 types which suits 2 people. I haven't ordered anything that I haven't loved and you are also served 4 pots of sauces to mix together and create your own sauce to taste. My favourite so far would be the crispy prawn and chicken wontons. The peking duck spring rolls are also lovely. The service from staff there is genuine, friendly and fast. There is also a private dining room if you are planning on taking a few friends along. When ordering the dim sum the cost represents great value for money - including tea we usually pay about $35 for two people. Highly recommended!!

This review is for The Grandhouse York, York WA

We stayed here as an escape to relax for a few days following our wedding. This bed and breakfast is run by a lovely couple who were happy to chat with us in the mornings while they served us breakfast. The accommodation consisted of a country styled bedroom and en suite which were very neat and tidy, a private spa room and common lounge with books, games, videos etc. It was a very peaceful experience, just what we were after on this occasion. The atmosphere was very homely and we would stay there again.

This review is for Karden's Rubbish Removal, Noranda WA

We currently use this business and it is especially handy in Summer when the grass is growing quickly or when you are pruning the garden. Kardens provides you with a hessian collection bin (metal framed) and you can put all of your green waste inside for collection. We have ours emptied every 8 weeks but you can choose fortnightly or monthly. The business is easy to deal with and very convenient for collecting green waste that would not normally fit into our garbage bin.

This review is for Tradewinds Hotel, East Fremantle WA

This hotel is located in a fantastic spot on the Swan River and has gorgeous views both from the lower and upper levels of the hotel. I have been to this hotel for many different reasons and have never been disappointed with my experience. I would highly recommend the pizzas which are a good size to share. My favourite so far is the nachos pizza which has plenty of toppings! A mix of bar tables, couches and chairs at tables means there is a range of seating to suit your occasion and on a warm day, the outdoor area has a great atmosphere. We also had our wedding reception here and the quality of the service we received was great. This is definitely a place I would recommend to someone looking for a place to meet friends for a drink and bite to eat on a warm Summer's day.

This review is for Takes the Cake, Alfred Cove WA

We employed Sarah from 'Takes the Cake' to make our wedding cup cakes after seeing her work at another friend's wedding. Sarah works from home but is completely professional in her work and has a passion for cake decorating. In comparison to the quotes we obtained from other businesses, Sarah was able to provide samples and a fantastic price, saving us a lot of money and not compromising on the quality of the product. In total we ordered 170 styled cupcakes and a cake topper. Everything was made to our order and her attention to detail was amazing. You can see from her website, the vast array of designs and styles she is capable of. We received plenty of great feedback from our friends on the cakes, which were delicious! The cakes were delivered and set up in our venue with no problems. We would highly recommend this business (and have done so many times to our friends).
