A small Coles supermarket in the Brisbane CBD... it does the job, but the range isn't as large as some suburban stores. Also, I may be wrong, but the prices seemed slightly higher, as it was a 'Coles Central', not just a Coles.
Ordered a Sausage and Egg McMuffin prior to boarding a train, and at least they use fresh eggs... as mine had a bit of shell in it!! But, other than that, this Maccas was as-expected.
Went here on Saturday around lunchtime. They had their standard burger on special, so I decided to give it a go! The burger was excellent, and whilst the toppings were basic (as it was the standard burger), it was very tasty and money well spent.
Approximate cost: $12.90
I've been using MJ Business Solutions since their inception in 2010. They provide excellent service for all my taxation needs, and I've never had an issue with them. Turn-around times are very quick, too.
In 2007, I had an Impco LPG kit installed by Ray at Parkmore, and it has barely missed a beat. Ray is very professional and down-to-earth, and will tell you whatever you need to do to look after things with your car.
Since having the LPG kit installed, I have used Ray as my mechanic for half-yearly servicing, and find that his prices are more-than reasonable. He's always got regulars coming back, which is a credit to the way he operates.
Attended here with my girlfriend a while back, just never got to submitting my review!
We stopped here on a Friday night for ice cream, and I really enjoyed it here! They have great variety of flavours, and are well-priced, too. Definitely worth a stop if you need to cool-down from the tropical heat!
Attended here with the aid of a voucher, however, this does not excuse our experience encountered.
We arrived at 7:00pm. Other tables arrived at 7:05pm, 7:10pm, 7:15pm, and 7:20pm, all using the same deal. By 7:30pm, all four of these latter arrivals had received their Antipasto Platter. It took until 7:46pm until we received ours. When we asked to speak to the manager he checked with the kitchen, and was advised it was an 'honest mistake' and our platter had gone to the wrong table. When we asked what he'd do by way of recompense, he offered us 'a coffee each'. Not coffee and cake, of a free beer or something of decent value. A paltry coffee. Woeful.
Eventually, our mains arrived. They were OK. Not earth-shatteringly good, just OK. They, by the way, arrived by 7:57pm, which was 26 minutes later than the next table had received theirs by.
At no point were we offered the opportunity to order/purchase more drinks, or anything else.
The entire experience was appalling, and I don't intend to go back to this place, voucher or not. Also, my wine glass did not appear entirely clean.
Attended here with the usage of a Scoopon, for a 6-course degustation. Normally, this sort of thing wouldn't be my cup of tea, but I was pleasantly surprised... no, actually, I was shocked at how much I enjoyed the evening.
The food was remarkable, and the wine matching was lovely. And, the ambience was also beautiful in the early evening (before all the hipsters show up).
We had Oysters, Kingfish Crudo, Dark Ale damper with fetta and pear chutney, Manchego and Chorizo croquettes with a tomato relish, Pepper and Salt Crusted Quail, Pomegranate Glazed Pork Belly, and the highlight, the Slow Braised Lamb Shoulder.
Would I go back? Definitely. And I'm a parma and chips man normally.
Max Brenner is expensive, and you often have to queue for a little while to get served. But, once you have your drinks, it is quite good. I last had a White Hot Chocolate, and it was fantastic.
Approximate cost: $6
Went here for a late brekky on a Sunday morning. The welcome was warm, and the staff were friendly, happy to help with any requests that we had. The Big Breakfasts were... big! And tasty, too. Well priced, good service, good quality, you can't ask for anything more than that!
Approximate cost: $15
