We've popped in here for a drink on a number of occasions, but finally got the chance to eat here on the weekend. They are know for their mussels and that's what I was coming to try. Mussels in white wine.... very average. There was so much liquid, no bread, not a lot of flavour - sure the white wine and garlic was super prominent, but that was it. The chips were presented beautifully, but were soft and luke warm. Pretty disappointed.

Approximate cost: $29

It's really tough to write this as I enjoyed my meal thoroughly and my husband absolutely did not. I had the chicken saltimbocca and the rocket and pear salad - absolutely delicious. Not a very big portion, but it left room for the sublime tiramisu. Not too sweet - just perfect. Hubby had the pork cutlets - they were tiny, the salsa was cold, the side of potatoes didn't arrive until he'd finished which we sent back. The table service was brilliant. I would recommend this restaurant - just don't have the pork!

Graham is someone who really cares about this clients. He's easy to deal with, friendly and does what I need him to do - work on my terrible back. I get relief with his help. Would recommend.

A friend and I tried this new place yesterday. Yum! We shared the Fungi which had delicious swiss mushrooms, caramelised onion and sour cream with the beef patty etc. Also the Porky P - tender pulled pork, pineapple... yum. There are also bun choices - I can recommend both the sesame seed and brioche. The burgers are not big, but they are satisfying. Also great were the unusually cut fresh crunchy chips. Can't wait to take my husband there.

Relatively new greek restaurant that has received good reviews in the paper. We were very much looking forward to trying this and took the opportunity on Valentine's Day. Not disappointed. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was generous and delicious. Standouts for me were the skordalia made with pecans - OMG this was amazing and the Spetzofai - greek sausage with capsicum, onion & chilli (barely noticed that) in a rich tomato sauce. Pure heaven. I found the sauce on the prawns saganaki quite overpowering.... but that's my personal taste. They have a very basic spirit menu which was a little disappointing. Will be returning.

Unfortunately it cost over $1800 to find out that these guys don't really care about the customer. They didn't fix the fridge that we were charged for and they charged us from 8am-2pm (for example), even though he didn't turn up until 8.20am, spent an hour outside or sitting in his van on the phone and then left at 1.50pm. At a ridiculous hourly rate, these extra "minutes" certainly add up. Felt very taken advantage of - would not recommend.

Went with a group so ordered a number of dishes to share. We ordered the banquet plus a lamb masaman which was delicious. There was a seafood dish which had a very strong fish sauce smell which was quite overpowering, however tasted very nice. My favourite dishes were the crispy spring rolls and pad thai. Service was average - asked for no coriander on anything and yet 3 dishes came out with coriander. The chairs are quite uncomfortable too.

There are 2 chiropractors here - I've seen Gerrard on a few occasions. I had a bruised rib and my neck was out. He was really thorough spending around 45mins with me at my initial consultation. Have been to a few chiros over the years and he is hands down the best. Seems a lot more in tune with what's going on in the body and was able to manipulate and stretch my back and neck. Another thing I really liked is after a few appointments only days apart, and some exercises to do at home, he didn't try and book me in for regular appointments. Said time would heal my rib and if I had any more problems to come back and see him. So many others want to book you in weekly or fortnightly just to milk us a bit more. He didn't. I like that. After initial consult, only $20 gap each time.

Although Piers and his wife are just lovely, unfortunately he doesn't do much in the way of hands on manipulation. Strength is lacking for proper "back cracking". There are different types of chiropractors and this one just wasn't for me.

This is a disappointing bakery. The pastry on their pies is awful, their cakes are uninteresting and their breads are the worst. I bought a sourdough recently which was really just a loaf of horrible white bread. They are friendly but many of the products are a waste of money.
