Once again went to try a DELICIOUS burger from Fab Fish & Burger Grill... and with a voucher had a glass of very smooth house red included. I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed each of the burgers sampled!

My friend and I arrived (a little late for reservation) and were welcomed warmly. The degustation menu (6 course) comprised fascinatingly surprising combinations of ingredients in uniquely tasty dishes. The portions were petite... but at the end of the meal we were completely satisfied. We didn't wait long at all between courses. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive (without any sense of intrusion). The location is convenient, if a little pedestrian. Restaurant decor and seating arrangements are a bit quirky (minimalistic even), but the gastronomic experience more than made up for it.

Approximate cost: $45

Coffee & sampler chocolates for $3.80... YUM! The coffee was top notch, taster chocolates delicious. The huge range of delicious chocolates made on site are not cheap, but VERY tempting!

After searching along the Gallery Walk for a simple, reasonably priced meal & coffee... and asking a local!... we were directed to Simply Sandwiches. The service was friendly and fast, sandwiches DELICIOUSLY freshly made to our liking, and the coffee was good. $10 for a toastie + coffee in the Gallery Walk tourist 'trap' is good value :). Two thumbs up!

Approximate cost: $10

Booking and pre-check in communication was clear and welcoming. Ian welcomed us to the retreat and gave great local information. The views were amazing, the room comfortable and inviting, breaky provided was generous quantity of bacon, eggs and toast (self-cooking) and the grounds beautifully kept. Well worth a visit!

Approximate cost: $125/night

This review is for Craigs Auto Repair Service, Wynnum West QLD

Craig has been the manager for some of the busiest branches of big name auto repairs businesses in Brissie... now out on his own, and doing a fantastic job. He REALLY knows cars, gives an honest and accurate diagnosis of any repair needs, and then charges VERY reasonable rates and does the job well. Couldn't recommend him more highly!

This review is for Bikini Red, Fortitude Valley QLD

I tried Bikini Red because of a 'daily deals' voucher purchased. The voucher offered $31 worth of food, but I was told this was not actually the case, it was for one of their 'mains' (salad, burrito or omelette) + a juice each for 2 people. Because I was there on my own, I was offered 1 choice of salad/wrap/omelette, and a juice (which would have been $10 value, according to their menu board!). I asked for 2 juices and an omelette, and was then given these. The juices were fresh and tasty. The omelette very ordinary. The value and service were just not there... if you begrudge people using these vouchers, don't use them!! The food was definitely nothing to write home about... and what I received was not that good a value for the $15 I paid, let alone the supposed $31 value that was advertised!

Approximate cost: $7
