My friend and I stopped here for some morning tea. It was quite busy, so that kind of showed it must be pretty popular and worth the wait. And It was, they had a huge cabinet with loads of mouth watering cakes and slices to choose from. They have really soft bread that doesn't become stale the next day. Prices were pretty standard. Haven't tried any of their pastry items, but plenty of customers seemed to be ordering meat pies.

The people here are really friendly. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They do great takeaway also and we didn't find ourselves waiting very long either. They even checked that our meals were to our liking whilst we were eating. their chef does a great job of both the traditional chinese and vietnamese meals.It is BYO. They are pretty reasonable on price too, and their lunch menu is fantastic value-you can get something really good for less than $10.

I go there regularly. I get a good sized meal for really cheap. Usually I have trouble fitting it all in. It's good quality food and the staff are friendly. There's always heaps to choose from on the menu. I love their Chicken Schnitzel meal-it's huge-includes huge chicken schnitzel, nice chunky chips with a salad. Nice big bacon and egg meal too.

My usual Dentist was on holidays, so I don't normally go to this one. As with all dental work, it was expensive. I did feel a little nervous, which I don't normally feel at my usual Dentist. I guess they were professional enough, but it just didn't seem to have that friendly family atmosphere that I am used to with my own Dentist. I would still go there if my usual Dentist was unavailable.

Had to stop here and eat with my friend, as she recommended it. To me it looked a bit expensive for fish and chips, and there was a lot of people there and I was really hesitant about hanging around waiting for too long, but my friend assured me it was worth it. So we did wait quite a bit for our fish and chips, but they turned out to be well worth it. They were just fresh cooked and loads of flavour.

They are always friendly in here and their prices are much cheaper than the Woolworths next door. I have noticed my shopping bill lately, as I have had to buy my fruit and veg at the supermarket closer to home, so I really must make the effort to get there again, as their prices are a lot cheaper.

I asked the florist if they had any orange roses, as I have a relative who was recovering from surgery and explained that she loved the orange. She said she didn't have any large ones made up, but said she could do one by the afternoon. It cost $55, but it was just beautiful.

Have been here a few times over the last few years, and it is a lovely atmosphere. It is great for a romantic place to dine. Not cheap but there's no place quite like it and they always serve lovely meals. So I am happy once in a while to pay a little extra for such a luxury place to eat.

This was my worst experience in French Food Restaurants. It didn't even feel like I was eating french food. And it seemed rather poor quality food for the prices paid. Definitely not French cuisine, really disappointing, things might change if they had a new chef perhaps.

Awesome bunch of staff and very helpful when I had a few questions about what some of the meals were like. It's really nice here in the summer months as you can dine outdoors. Their food is the best Indian I have ever tasted and a great variety too.
