I come here often to purchase groceries - lots of variety! The service is fantastic, they are always friendly and willing to offer assistance. The cash register staff are always very quick and friendly. The value for money for their products are mostly cheaper than the other stores I've been to, but sometimes you have to becareful with the expiry date. I have a few times purchased items / seen items on the shelf that are out of date. If I notice expired items that I've gone home with, I will bring it back and they will always give me a refund.

fantastic products for all your pets - dogs, cats, snakes, fish etc. the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. They even offer free testing of your fish tank's water. The prices can be a bit dear, but for premium pet food.. it is what you would expect. When the store goes on sale, I will stock up on the goodies!

fantastic store. lots of variety, the lowest prices are just the beginning...... great service. you get a "hello" from the lady as you enter the store. Every bunnings sals person you walk pass, you get a hello. Help is always offered for noobies and trying DIY projects. Free coffee available, free "ladies night" for DIY advice etc.... i love this place.

I came here with a few friends with a booking. We had to wait about 10 minutes which was fine. When our table was ready, we got sat down and looked at the menu, ordered drinks and mains. We also ordered two entrees to share between four people. The first entree came out, then 10 minutes the second entree came out. Then 1 minute later, they brought four small plates for our entrees.. a bit late, but that's OK.. The waitress who took our order had a bit of an attitude, She walked up to us and butted into our conversation asking if we were ready to order - I wouldve expected "excuse me, are you ready to order?", she knocked the back of my chair three times and only apologised once. The food was extremely nice (entree and main). When we got our main, they forgot our side of handcut chips. We asked one of the waiters who said he would check on it for us. 10 minutes later, the chips were brought out (I had finished my main already) and they did not even apologise for forgetting or for it coming out so late. Service was disappointing but food was extremely good. I may come here again..

i came here with a group of girlfriends. it was a week night but seemed busy. We took our time deciding what to eat so asked for a few more minutes when they said asked if we were ready to order. About 15 minutes later one of the waiters finally saw us waving. The service was a bit slow, but the food was pretty good. I ordered a pasta but it was a bit too chilly for my liking. The serving size was huge, i had left over which I took away for lunch the next day - they provided take away box. The chips were very nice, the wine was quite a small glass so was disappointing. The atmosphere is lovely, I think they had recently renovated. Overall it was a good experience.

This little clinic used to be on gouger st just opposite the central market. They have now moved to a side st off gouger st. It sells Chinese herbal teas, pills, ointments, raw herbs, powders... You name it. You can walk in and tell the your problem and they will tell what to take. Or you can sit down with the practitioner and she will make up some herbs specific for your condition. I was recommended here by a friend who was unable to conceive for many years. She had a baby after visiting dr anna chan for a few months! I was shocked how quickly my dermatitis healed!

I take my two dogs here for their health maintenance. My maltese x chihuahua hates getting his nails done, and even we have trouble getting him to relax. Nigel, one of the vets there is able to do the nails for my dog in such a relaxed manner. I really don't know how he does it! Thank you Nigel!

I came here for raisin toast and soy latte. Maybe I was hungry when I ordered the toast, but it was DELICIOUS, nice, thick, and hot, the butter was placed on the side so you could decide how much butter to spread - I don't like too much butter. The soy latte could have been warmer. But they use BONSOY which is the most expensive type of soy milk out there, and for 60c extra, you have soy milk in your latter... why would I go anywhere else?

great cupcakes, fantastic coffee - nice and hot! The cupcakes have a really sweet layer of icing on the top - it's too much for me, but would suit someone with a sweet tooth. The service is fantastic, the staff area always friendly and approachable. I would come here again.
