My partner and I recently planned to go here for our 10 Year anniversary and sample the produce before ordering for our anniversary party. When we arrived, they didn't have HALF the produce they boast on the website. When we inquired about what we were after, we were rudely and abruptly told, "We only make them on Saturdays!" (This should be advertised on the website, or at least in store) Both the server and the owner were incredibly rude, and we were made to feel like A) They didn't NEED our business, and B) They didn't WANT our business.

You know what they say, first impressions last. The impression they gave us talked them out of roughly $2k worth of business, and we were incredibly disappointed with all aspects of our visit!

Recently stayed here for my partner and I's anniversary, and couldn't of been any happier! Everything was amazing, from the Valet, to the concierge, to the room service. Everyone was extremely polite, helpful, friendly and professional.

The rooms are amazing to say the least, we stayed in a corner balcony suite, with awesome views of Hindmarsh Square and the Adelaide Hills. It's literally a stones throw away from Rundle Mall aswell, so when you want to hit the shops, it's a matter of a 3 minute walk!

The restuarant was a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Meals were terrific.

And just to top it all off, a couple of days later, they sent us a letter congratulating us on our Anniversary! THATS customer service!

Approximate cost: $Frm $299 p/n

This review is for Supplement Empire, Summer Hill NSW

I bought from these guys on eBay, and couldn't believe how much cheaper they were than my local supplement supplier. It was cheaper to buy from these guys and have the product sent all the way from NSW to Adelaide, SA, than it was to walk to the end of my street and buy it in person! You can either buy on eBay ( ID supplementempire) on their website or go to the store in person. Customer service was amazing, (the best I've received on eBay) and their range was massive too. All the big brands from BSN to MuscleTech, and everything from Protein Powder to Bars.

Would DEFINITELY recommend these guys to everyone.

Spent $90 on protein powder on eBay, thinking I was getting a bargain. The seller sent via Couriers Please - EXPRESS- to Adelaide from Melbourne. This took 11 days, and when I finally received the powder, they'd been so rough with it, not only had it worn through the plastic bag, but they'd smashed the lid, so now I had powder going everywhere. Being a consumable product, I no longer could use it. When I rang to lodge a complaint, they were about as much help as a blind seeing-eye dog.

Approximate cost: $90

This review is for Australian Computer Doctors, Wollongong NSW

I recently encountered an INCREDIBLY annoying and frustrating virus on my Laptop. I couldn't do anything, even open a program or turn the thing off properly! I made a few inquiries to a couple of businesses, and ACD was by far the cheapest, and were knocking at my door within 24 hours. The technician that arrived was very friendly, and great at explaining what the virus had done, where I could of got it from, and how to avoid getting another. He even put an Anti-Virus on there for free! The service was pricey, but they were cheaper than most, the Tech arrived 10 minutes early, and was finished within the hour! Would recommend these guys to anyone.

Approximate cost: $179

Awesome, awesome food. Great range of Tapas, as well as cafe style pizzas, and licensed. Great, friendly service, warm atmosphere & great value. My partner & I got 2 Tapas dishes, a glass of wine, a premium beer and a large pizza for under $50! (if you buy a large pizza, you get a free beer or wine!) You can sit inside or out, but the decking outside is beautiful! I'll definately be a regular here, and would HIGHLY recommend this place to all.

Approximate cost: $8-$20

This review is for Jarvis Subaru Kensington, Marryatville SA

verified email - 14 May 2010

I recently took my Subaru here for a service, and couldn't be happier. The service itself was $40 cheaper than another authorized Subaru service centre I looked at. The service only took 4 hours, and when I picked my car up, I was greeted by the friendly staff, and given a full run down on what had been done, and what needed to be done in the future. They have a very comfortable lounge area to wait in, with a tv and complimentary drinks fridge. They had also detailed my car in and out, which I wasn't expecting. All in all, I would say a positive experience, with very professional service, yet competitive pricing.

Approximate cost: $274

This review is for New mantra indian cuisine , Greenacres SA

Unbelievably good food!! I've eaten at so many Indian restaurants, but this one by far is the best! They have a really great selection on the menu, so much to choose from. The service is very friendly and welcoming, and very fast. We didn't have to wait long at all for our meals to come out. The staff were very willing to accommodate with special orders. (I always get extra chilli) Would definitely recommend to all!

Approximate cost: $15-$20

I'll start with the positives. Food is AMAZING! I've eaten here for months take away, but recently had the opportunity to dine in. Could not fault the food at all. Decent size servings, and the price is a little high, but the restaurant is in North Adelaide.

Now the negative. We only had a small group on the night, 5-6 people. 4 people were served, and the last 2 weren't served for 30 minutes after the first meals came out. It took 20 minutes and me having to ask 3 different waitresses when my drink was coming out. Oh, and a waiter came and took our wine glasses before we could even order. When we asked why he was taking them, he responded "if you want wine glasses you'll have to order a bottle". Nice.

Approximate cost: $18-$25

Really good quality workmanship. Was very happy with the exhaust system. Reasonably quick too, twin exhaust from the cat back on my car only took a couple hours. BUT.... if you get a quote from these guys, get it in writing! I was originally quoted $450, only to get a phone call an hour later telling me a mistake had been made, and the cost was now $700!!
