I can't say I was overly thrilled with this restaurant. My friend had told me it was hid favourite but I couldn't find much on the menu to my liking. We went for my son's birthday. All he wanted was a steak and they didn't have steak on the menu. He ended up getting lamb shanks which he quite liked but the rest of the family struggled to find anything nice and we were greatly disappointed. The prices were very expensive, which I wouldn't mind had the menu been a bit more extensive.

I would say I am pretty easy to please, but there wasn't much nice I could say about this place. The staff were run off their feet so they found it hard to give good service. The plates (yes several not just one) were chipped and still still in service. I'm pretty sure that's a health violation right there. I took photos of the plate chips but never ended up doing anything about it. The food wasn't even worth waiting for. I'd say stay home and open a can of baked beans rather than waste your money on this place.

Quite trendy and upmarket hair salon. None of your blue rinses here. This is not a budget salon but having said that the prices are listed on their website and they are not over the top either. The thing you have to remember is that they are good at what they do VERY good. This is the only salon my three teenage children will trust with their hair. I totally agree they do an excellent job too.
This place is cheap and unpretentious but boy is the food good here. This has been my favourite chinese restaurant for a long long time. The food doesn't go gluggy or gelatinous after it's been sitting for a while like in some other chinese restaurants. Seems low on MSG to me too, as that has an affect on my son's behaviour but he's fine after eating here. The service is good and staff always serve you with a smile. No need to dress up but a really great inexpensive dining experience

The guy that runs this place doesn't just care about your teeth, he cares about your entire physical wellbeing as well as making the experience as pleasant as humanly possible. I don't know anyone that likes going to the dentist but if you have to go I highly recommend seeing this dentist. He does everything safely and keeps up to date with the best techniques for long term health and safely of you and your teeth. No mercury or detrimental health practices here!
This place is hidden away where you would never expect to find such a wonderful restaurant. It's a bit of a trek out there but it is well worth the effort. The chef is very very talented and the menu is mainly of European influence. I went with my mother and she's really hard to please. She absolutely loved the place - which is rare. It has a natural Australian bush outlook and is very peaceful and relaxing while you enjoy some of the best food you can find anywhere in the state. Next door is the cellar door where you can purchase some beautiful wines which you can take next door and share with your meal. Meals are not expensive either, it's definitely a win/win situation here.

Really great simple food. I have never had anything form the menu that wasn't great. If you go during the warmer weather it's a real treat to sit outside Al Fresco and enjoy the sunshine, the passers by and a glass of wine (or juice if you prefer!) For the cooler weather there are clears and heaters or simply sit inside. It's BYO only. They do a mean banana bread with cream if you just want a coffee and dessert. Very reasonable prices.

Recently opened cafe style restaurant where bookings not needed most nights. They have a bain marie style set up to choose from for take away (or delivery). Seated patrons food comes straight from the kitchen and has such fantastic authentic taste. The prices are exceptionally low overall for an Indian restaurant which makes the value hard to beat. My only criticism would be that it took me several visits for them to actually get the food hot enough (spice wise) for my liking. Eventually "as hot as you can make it" did the trick.

If you like good Indian food then this is the place for you. BYO and licensed. Seating available indoor or outdoor. The staff are friendly and quick to serve your every need. Dishes are available from mild to hot and anywhere in between. The taste is sensational!
Approximate cost: $20
The food here is second to none. Fully licensed or BYO, your choice! I like to take my wine but just have a pre dinner mixed drink from their bar first. I highly recommend the La Cucina salad which is nice on its own or with chicken as either an entree or main meal. The specials menu has some fantastic options and the entire menu is exceptional. Don't leave without some scrumptious dessert! Staff are very professional and yet very friendly making sure everyone receives first rate attention. If you are in the area give them a try, you won't be sorry.
