A nice little cafe to pop into during the day. The food is all very yummy if you're after a hearty meal, although there isn't anything healthy on the menu. The service is good too, better than I expected from a shopping centre cafe. The staff will always seem to remember me too.

When we first went we couldn't believe the prices! It was so cheap! And BYO too which is excellent as usually drinks blow out the cost of dinner (and you can take what you like). And when we got our meals the food was absolutely fantastic. As an Italian, it was as good as what we make at home. There are no cheap substitutes here. The service was also excellent considering every table was packed. We decided to use them for our engagement party because of the value for money we have at dinner, and it was just as good. There was so much food per head and the service was good considering 25 people were going to eat all at once (which would not be easy for the kitchen). Everyone raved about the food and wished their stomachs could have fit more in! We are very happy with the place and go over and over.
One of the tastiest Italian places I have been to. The food is just so yummy and comes is a generous portion too - don't worry about entrees here! Highly recommended!
It's a fantastic weight loss website. Firstly, it's free which makes a big differenc as you know they aren't after you for money. It lets you choose your own foods, you don't have to follow a plan, so it's very flexible and easier to follow on the long term. It has a "university" where it has online lessons on food, nutrition, exercise and lifestyle for 12 weeks which is good too - something they should teach all Australians. They have a forum which is excellent for support and also blogs too that other users often read and help motivate you. It's more of a community than just a weight loss site.

I have been a member for a while now and it's excellent when purchasing anything big (as you know you will be getting a quality product) and there's some smaller things such as the shampoos survey which are really interesting. It's unbiased so you know that they are being honest. They are also always campaining for better consumer rights too which is another plus and will help you if you need it.
There are lots of users and it's better than the Quokka as you can see photos of what you are buying, so you don't have to travel around and see everything. It's free to advertise too so there are more things on there than on other websites.
I thought it was an originally good idea, but then realised how the lack of privacy can backfire. We had an intimate event on, and we didn't invite all of our friends/family to keep numbers down, and one of our friends put photos up and tagged us to we could see them. Family and friends who weren't invited saw them and got very upset they weren't invited and couldn't see why it couldn't be bigger and include them, and there are still people not talking to us. Remember - most people's settings are set to wider than "Friends only" so even if you or they post something, more people can see it than you want. Privacy is out the window...
Excellent idea! You can go on the website to find the cheapest price if you know what you are after and it's such an easy way to save money. I use it all the time.

The card is excellent, great rewards, good value for money (I get it free through my professional organisation), but it's unfortunate it can't be used everywhere. A visa or mastercard is really needed with it for places that don't accept it. But it's worth having the card for the rewards as the rate is higher than with Visa or Mastercards.

Excellent service as a buyer as the protection is always behind you. However, the fees are a bit expensive as a seller, especially in conjunction with the eBay fees. But the added security is beneficial, and is safer than using a credit card.
