Entree was enough for two. Main meal of baileys chicken had so much flavour - yum! Interesting atmosphere like a place you'd just hang out in almost like something you'd find down the alleyways of Melbourne. Very rustic. They showcase local talent so you get to hear different styles of music while eating, but if you're after somewhere quiet and romantic this is not the place.

I saw Rosemary for acupuncture. I had nerve damage after breaking my toe. The sessions were relaxing and not painful. The room was comfortable and warm. At the end of the sessions Rosemary would burn a moxsa stick over the body which felt warm and relaxing. Eight years after treatment I have never had any problem with my toe.

The staff here are so friendly - always interested in having a chat. Susie has always given me the colour I was after and a great cut. If just going in for a cut a shampoo has to be asked for and costs extra.

Prompt, reliable service. They are available to come to your house or business from 7am to 7pm, 7 days a week. They offer a variety of massages but I have only had the relaxation and felt like I was floating afterwards. They will even bring their own relaxation music if you wish.

Little salon tucked away in the main Georgetown retail strip. Staff are friendly. The haircut was a good cut and didn't take long at all. A shampoo was not included in the price but a quick blow dry was.

I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. Theo has a passion for cars and will keep your car in the best condition you can afford. He offers a car pick up and drop off service, but parking is always a problem around this area.

Lot's of variety on their menu. Good size meals that taste good and specials changed regularly. A bonus is if you go to their website you can print out a voucher for a discount on the main meal if you make a booking (e.g buy one main meal get 2nd main for $5 - as at 02/05/10). Staff may forget that you ordered an entree and a main though and bring it all out at once.

The last two times I have been there for dinner the meal has been fantastic. The time before that was for lunch and the vegetables were still basically raw. The last time there was for a birthday party and everything was timed to come out together and everyone enjoyed their meals. Staff were friendly and attentive even though the room was packed.

Brigitte can work wonders. She takes the time to listen about your body's problems. She is very friendly and understands a lot about physiology. I have been going for Bowen Therapy for my back and have had great results - am feeling much stronger.

Approximate cost: $70/hr for Bowen

Went in for a couples indian head massage. The room was extremely clean, warm and comfortable with soft lighting and music. The massage was catered to the amount of pressure I preferred and was very relaxing.
