I would give this place an "OK". There is plenty of variety here, but I ordered a pizza which had basically no topping, was overcooked and generally disappointing. Our meals (there were 10 of us) were very mixed, with some having amazing meals and others finding that their steak was chewy, fatty and overcooked. Those who ordered fish seemed to have a good experience and also one of the party who ordered pasta was very happy. I would say that this place is part pot-luck. I would try it again, but not with high hopes!

I have been here a few times now. The food is always amazing and the serves are quite generous. However, the service can be slow, even for drinks. The prices are what you would expect to pay in the City for a decent meal and are fairly average. I enjoy going to this restaurant when I have the chance and try to go there every second Friday night with work colleagues for drinks and nibbles.

This is one of the best places in Proserpine to eat lunch. They have great daily lunch specials at a really great prices. I was super impressed with this place when I visited Proserpine and would recommend it to anyone. The regular meals were not cheap, but given the quality of the specials, would imagine that they probably worth it!

This place used to be really great, hadn't been for a while and the food ordering system has changed and now it's more expensive with less choice. Was really disappointed with the quality of the food and with the service. The signs said "new service staff, new chef and new menu". I say, bring back the friendly service staff, who listened when you requested chips with your meal instead of veg, the old chef that knows that one giant crouton in a caesar salad is not really ideal and the old menu. All round, a disappointing experience for the four of us that went there.

This review is for The Plantation, Gumdale QLD

This is a great place to go for an entire day. I have been here a couple of times and my kids love it. My only concern is that I couldn't see many lifeguards around on duty and it can be hard to keep an eye on little kids as the area is quite vast. There is a small wading pool for toddlers with a small slide and a larger activities pool for older kids as well as a regular pool. You can also hire a pergola, and they have BBQ facilities. I haven't ever used either of those though and usually just bring my own sandwiches and poppers. This is a great day out.

I take my kids here for a swim when the weather is warm. There are 2 kiddie pools (one is very shallow for toddlers and the other one is about a metre deep with water features and slides) as well as a standard swimming pool. Entry for under 4 is free, and it costs about $20 for a whole family to go. There is a snack bar here too, but the prices for that are quite high. I am very happy going here and the only complaint that I have is the fact that there could be more shade.

This review is for Cafe Da Vinci, Manly QLD

I went here recently with a friend for lunch. As I was not overly hungry, I just ordered a serve of banana bread and a coffee. They brought out her lunch and completely forgot my food order. When I queried, it finally arrived and was burnt. I didn't want to send it back, so ate part of it. The coffee was good though. However, the service and value for $ isn't there. I would try it again on a less busy day to see if the service improved because the food looked great.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Dr Rozeena Musa, Sunnybank QLD

Dr Musa is a gynae and obstetrician. I went about a non-pregnancy related matter and she was very well informed. She listened to what I wanted and recommended a course of action based upon this. I ended up having 2 surgeries with her by my choice and I had no out of pocket expenses from her for either one. She only charges slightly above the Medicare fee and I feel that she is not calling people in for unnecessary consults in order to make $. I was very impressed with the service she provided and would recommend her to anyone experiencing gynecological issues.

This review is for Bartons Holden, Wynnum QLD

My dad bought a new car from here a few years ago and was really impressed, so when it was time for me to purchase a car last month, I went straight here. I bought a second-hand car from here and was thoroughly impressed with the service and quality of the vehicle. The staff were all friendly and helpful and not at all pushy and were very patient whilst I tested several cars that they had. They even helped me put my car sear in for my toddler so he could come on the test drive too. Great experience and will definitely be buying my next car from these guys.

This review is for Cactus Republic, South Brisbane QLD

This is definitely not a restaurant that you sit and take your time in. It is a "fast food" version of Mexican, but much better than other chain competitors. The service, taste and value are unbeatable. The burritos are capped at $15, so no matter what fillings you want, you know that you won't be paying too much. I like going here on Friday nights before wandering around the markets at Southbank. It makes for an enjoyable, inexpensive dining experience that is quick and easy and child friendly.

Approximate cost: $5-15
