It's pretty bog standard traditional Italian. In an area with so many choices, this place doesn't particularly stand out and the service is a bit all over the place. Everything arrived fine and we got what we ordered but the staff weren't very friendly and later in the night, there was a big argument in the kitchen which reverberated through the nearly empty restaurant... didn't make for good atmosphere.

Very good food but the surrounds lack style or atmosphere. But a good choice if you're after some Shanghai specialties done right.

This is the best cinema in Sydney- great variety in the programming, stunning art deco surrounds and cheap popcorn. Turns going to the movies into a real night out.

Had a nice meal here. Buzzy atmosphere even early on a weeknight- this place seems popular. Nice-looking place- not slick or expensive looking but has character and atmospheric lighting. Great variety on menu. Had a set meal combo which had miso, salad, mini-udon, sushi, wagyu beef and ice-cream for $25. Great value!

Got a great haircut at a discount because they had reduced prices at certain times. Nice looking salon. They followed up with further discounts via email. The guy who cut my hair asked me a few questions and then seemed to know eactly what to do- then did a great job.

If you have private dental cover, they will do almost any service at no cost to you which is great but I found the dentist wasn't a great communicator and the cleaning was a bit rough- it hurt sometimes. Also they didn't seem to make any notes about my teeth- just had a look and did a clean and said to come back in 12 months. It's a no-frills operation for sure- think they're ok but probably wouldn't go back myself.

Quick service. Good food. Decent portions. Lots of variety. Good atmosphere. Something a bit different. Only drawback is that the space if quite small and gets warm in summer.

Do not deal with these people!!! Had a booking- I called and reconfirmed it the day before because it was for a bond clean. They didn't turn up, they didn't call, I tried ringing them and couldn't get through for over an hour. When I finally did, they couldn't find my booking, then said my booking was for tomorrow. I told them again it was for today and that I'd been waiting around all day for them to call me with a time and/or turn up! Asked to speak to the manager- was told he was in a meeting but he would call me back. Asked to speak to the cleaner direct (as it was afternoon by this stage) and was told they contact him via email! I waited for the manager to ring me. Noone called again. I called them and this time got the answering machine! The next day, called again and was told sorry, can't do anything until the next available appointment in 4 weeks. When I complained and asked for the manager again, was told he was unavailable but he would call me. Aaarrrgh!!!!
