If your looking for a relaxed, fine dinning experience, Caesar's is a great place to go, particularly for lunch as the atmosphere of the restaurant during the day is light and laid back. They have a great lunch deal were you can get a main and glass of wine for $21.00. The waiters are friendly and attentive, happy to strike up a conversation with you. The food is delicious and is delivered to the table at a perfect pace. Be prepared to spend a bit more if you plan to choose off the rest of the menu, as the prices are in the higher price category, but I view Caesar's as upmarket and a venue for that special occasion. I've always enjoyed my experience at this restaurant which is consistently great!

After shopping around at a few pizza places in the local area, I found that this one is labest overall. They have an extensive menu with their own unique touch, which makes them differ from the usual ingredients you find on a pizza menu. The gourmet pizza selection choice is mouth watering, but expect to pay a higher price for the quality ingredients (L $19.00). Prices overall on the menu are consistent with the cost of buying pizza/pasta these days of this quality, but still only a tad above the most average pizza place (S $10.00 / L$13.00). For the few extra $$$ it's money well spent. Take a bite and see for yourself. I use labest for take-away pizza, but they have dine in facilities also which I'm yet to try. There is enough choice on this menu to allow me to keep indulging in something different every time. My mouth is watering thinking about it!

One thing I love about Soy is the decor, which makes dining in a pleasant experience. It's colourful and unique compared to most Chinese restaurants and tops the ambience list. Having said that, the quality of their food does not put them at the top of my list, however, one exception to the rule is their Salt & Pepper Calamari... OMG! This is one of the only reasons I go there... seriously it gets no better. Their banana fritters are pretty damn good also. Other Chinese restaurants leave their fried rice for dead. Servings are on the larger size, but so is the pricing. They have a great bar, with a huge selection to choose from. Plenty of seating, but booking is required to secure a spot. Option to eat out on the balcony in the warmer months.

This cafe has a great selection of food to suit many occasions, whether you choose an all day breakfast, pick off the lunch menu or just want coffee and cake, it caters for an all day experience. There is plenty of seating inside, with a few allocated tables on the side walk. Prices are middle of the road, but the food came out quickly and large in portion size. They have a unique kid's menu which was appealing and presented well. I will return to try something different next time.

Venue 42 is the place to go if you want to have a low key drink with family or friends and share an array of the most delicious, quality tapas I have ever eaten. Pork Belly lovers alert! The menu is vast, so you find yourself trying something different every time, but of course, return to the true winners time and again. It is a licensed venue, with a cool bar atmosphere, lounge style setting and decor with an open fire place. The cocktails are over priced, however, most other drink prices are comparative to the area. The tapas are priced well given that the quality is exceptional. Some serves are more generous than others, but you will figure that out along the way. The staff are friendly and attentive and the service is quick. I've never had to wait long before the food starts rolling out, however, depending on the night is can be a full house or a more intimate setting. Friday night sippers!

If you are looking for competitive pricing for your waxing service, Itan and Beautify offers this in a personalised, no fuss setting.

I have been attending this clinic as a chiropractic patient since the day the doors first opened many years ago and have witnessed it transform into so much more. Offering a range of different natural health alternatives, most of my heath and well being needs are met under one roof. The team are welcoming, friendly and experienced in their fields and the atmosphere calm and relaxed. They offer private health cover rebates and the pricing structure is competitive to most. Appointments run on schedule, so very rarely do you find yourself waiting long periods for consultations. Dr Carl Rasch uses a less intrusive form of chiropractic that has managed my acute sciatic nerve pain without the use of strong medications. The clinic has multiple return patients due to the high quality of service. I highly recommend that you check out all this clinic has to offer.

On arrival, you will be greeted by a very friendly team. Appointment times are always on schedule, the team will seat you almost immediately and provide you with magazines, ipad and offer you a coffee (with biscuit/chocolate), or a glass of wine/champagne.
