Awesome food here. I have dined in here for lunch and dinner at least 5 times and I always keep going back for the food.
Quite expensive, but worth it as the food is nice.
Great atmosphere and decorating, tables are spacious and seats are comfortable. Staff are all quite good, not overly friendly but quite helpful and knowledgeable when you ask someone for help.
Wait time for food is about normal (30 mins approx. for your food to come out when you have ordered a main), I wouldn't go here if I was in a rush.
Overall I would recommend this place to anyone but I would let them know that it is a bit pricey.
The only other bit of feedback is that the newer menu (last 3 months or so) is not as good as the previous menu. Hopefully they bring the previous menu back for winter again as the food on the old menu was tastier and more classic in my opinion.

We get takeaway from this restaurant weekly and I have also dined in here three times. The food is really great! Best Thai place close to my home, and food taste quite authentic Thai. Decent sized servings, and friendly staff. Sometimes the wait-time on takeaway is longer than quoted on the phone, so if they say it will be ready in 25 minutes we usually don't go to pick it up for at least 30 minutes or you end up sitting around for 5-10 minutes. The staff are very friendly though and have at times given us a drink or an extra for the times when we have had to wait longer than the quoted time. Good value - around standard for Thai places in our 10km radius.

This place is awesome to shop at particularly when you are preparing your home for your first baby.
They have a HUGE array of every type of product for babies and small children - I could not believe how many prams and car-seats this place had... and the staff members know everything about every product in the store!
I had no idea about what to do or buy for my first child, and the staff helped me with all of my huge amount of questions and gave me both professional advice (based on market trends and what other customers bought) and personal advice based their own experience / that of their family members. I cannot recommend highly enough that any first time parent shops here. Most prices are quite competitive and when they have catalogue sales sometimes you can score quite a bargain. Of course some items are cheaper from other large department stores or from eBay etc, but you will not get anywhere near the quality of service from anywhere else.
I know they are busiest on weekends and Thursday nights so it can be harder to find a staff member to talk to particularly if you want to spend a good half hour or so asking questions and shopping, so if at all possible you should try to go during a weekday to get the best service.

Wendy's at Marion Shopping Centre is great. I regularly buy shakes and ice-cream from here. I have never had bad service here and always walk away with my order within only a few minutes after ordering. The girls who work here do a good job and always keep an eye out for customers. Whenever I approach the counter I am always given eye contact and acknowledgement that I am there even if they can't serve me right away (eg if they are busy with another customer). The icecream & shakes taste great and I have never had a bad one. The price is very fair and quite competitive. Highly recommend this business if you want friendly service and tasty icecream / shakes.

I highly recommend this business. We bought our bedroom carpet from here around 3 years ago and it is exceptional quality and the installation was great. Price was average, but we weren't overly fussed about price at the time as the service was so good we didn't even bother to compare with other businesses. Since then we decided to lay floorboards throughout the rest of our entire house which was an extremely costly venture and very challenging as it involved removing all furniture from our house and being out of the house for a few days. We compared prices and quality with 2 other places and again went with Solomons - mainly because of the service, and the products available - other places were not anywhere near as helpful or thorough and they didnt have the same product range as Solomons. The overall cost for us to put down the flooring was huge - around $9K but it was so worth it - Brilliant installer who did an absolutely outstanding job, and it's now been almost a year and the quality of the product is outstanding and it's not showing almost any wear. Plus afterwards when I phoned up with some concerns and questions about cleaning the flooring / mopping, the sales person suggested a special mopping product and gave it to me for free - without me even asking for it.
For a thorough job, with high quality products I highly recommend this business.

If you are after a lawn-mower, make sure you drop in or at least phone these guys to get their recommendation / check to see if they can beat the price of the mower you are after.
I recently purchased a new lawn mower and my father in law who is a gardener recommended I shop at a nearby store on Oaklands Road. I went there first and was a bit disappointed with the service and lack of help I received so I drove around to a couple of other stores in the yellow pages - this store included. The guy who runs this store was absolutely fantastic - he convinced me straight away that he knows what he's talking about and he talked through the features of the various machines patiently until I understood why various ones were important. He then asked me some questions about what I needed and made a recommendation to me of a mid-priced machine (around $530) despite the fact that I had said I was willing to spend up to $800. I asked a few times if I should buy the next model up as it was still within my price range and I wanted to be sure of getting a good quality machine but each time he said no and assured me that the one he recommended was truly an excellent machine he would buy himself and that I would have no need for the next model up's features for what I was going to do with the lawnmower. I was so impressed that he didn't try to just keep up-selling me to more expensive machines. Also he gave me a compliementary 'set up' (put the machine together for free for me, tested it and put fuel into it and put it in my car). He gave me free information about how to care for the mower after I had bought it too. I cannot recommend this business highly enough. Great range, amazing service, and the man makes you feel like he has all the time in the world to help you.

Really tasty muffins and good coffee here. The berry muffins with cream cheese icing are my favourite, but I have tried a number of others and they are all really nice. The price is quite good (around $4) compared to other kiosks nearby that are selling muffins - eg the shop 2 stalls to the left sells muffins for $5.50 which are not anywhere near as nice and fresh. You can always be assured of getting fresh baked goods at muffin break. The only reason I don't always buy muffins from here is sometimes there are huge long lines that you have to wait in to be served which is inconvenient if you are in a rush. Overall I would definitely recommend this business.

We have bought our tiles from this shop 3 times for different bathroom / kitchen renovations, mainly because of the huge product range and quality. The service is average to good depending on which staff member you speak with (some are awesome and really know the products well and are happy to help and even offer discounts, but others seem surly and not very helpful). The man who loads up tiles into your car is lovely and very helpful and has a good sense of humour. If you are after tiles that they no longer stock but you have bought there before they will order them in for you which is very good to know. The cost here is higher than at other similar places (eg Beaumont tiles is sometimes almost half the price), but the quality is unquestionably higher here, so that's why we continue to shop here.

I visited this business for a pregnancy massage in my most recent pregnancy. The lady who runs the business and conducts the massages was friendly and nice, and did a good job with the massage. It was quite expensive compared to a standard massage (around $80) but worth it at the time as I was in quite a lot of pain and there are no other pregnancy massage places nearby that I could find online. The venue was a bit difficult to find as it's in a group of other shops/businesses but once you go through the door it's quite a nice place and easy to relax in. The only reason I haven't gone back was because I felt uncomfortable with some of the conversation that was had during the massage and didn't agree with some points that the masseuse raised about children with disabilities (eg that a parent can 'cause' autism by drinking coke and eating lots of chips). My sister didn't eat junk food during her pregnancy at all but still ended up with an autistic child which is very sad and so hearing these views made me quite uncomfortable. I didn't debate her points of view during the massage as I just wanted to relax and get some pain relief but afterwards I decided I would not return as I didn't want to hear more of this kind of conversation.

I have eaten in at this restaurant twice and ordered take-away twice. Originally I went a few months ago because they were in the Entertainment book and very local, but I've kept going since because they have good value for money and the food is very tasty. I highly recommend the Salt & Pepper Squid and the Lemon Chicken. I have also tried spring rolls, basil chicken, basil beef, pandan chicken and green chicken curry - all are very nice but the beef pieces in the beef dishes are very large and a bit gristle-y. The service is outstanding - lovely lady who runs the place and all staff members are keen to help and don't seem offended if you don't buy too many drinks unlike other places nearby that constantly try to ply you with drinks to make money. The venue is lovely - really clean and very clean and upgraded toilets too. Value for money is quite good too.
