A great little discovery! Fresh ingredients, full flavoured and a menu with a bit of a twist. Despite the tiny little space it lives in we haven't had any trouble getting a table (especially with a group of about 7). The waiteresses provide excellent service and the coffee is great. Josh and Ai make you feel right at home and are happy to make some alterations to the dishes to suit your needs.

I fell in love with the handmade yoghurt that accompanied the flourless orange cake (heavenly!). Worth the travel (even on a stormy Saturday). Its a little on the pricey side but you're getting top notch ingredients in your meal. A definite must!

This review is for Simply Dental Chatswood, Chatswood NSW

I have used JWD for the past few years and initially attended the West Ryde branch until we moved and thank goodness there was one at Chatswood whcih was convenient for us. Both dentists have always been very professional and honest with their opinions. Neither tried to get me to do procedures that weren't required. When I had to get any filling done the dentist was very professional and telling exactly everything that was happening and made sure I was confortable.

This review is for V Club, Sydney NSW

4 floors of fitness! with so many classes to choose from - dancing, circuit, pilates, spin, group aerobics there's no reason to NOT exercise. The gym is never jammed packed with people so you have the freedom to move. Facilities and equipment are state of the art. You could spend a whole afternoon watching foxtel on the exercise bikes if you wanted to. The dance classes are so much fun and a deceptively great workout.

We've taken our dog to get his fur trimmed at a few place but this one has been one of the best. He always comes out looking so neat and not to over trimmed. Prices are about $60 which is a little expensive for a little dog but its the expected price in Sydney.

This review is for First Class Hampers, Mordialloc VIC

I received a hamper from First Class Hampers and was impressed by the quality of the products in the hamper and professional packaging. I then purchased a hamper as a 60th present for an aunty and she was over the moon. Not only was it quality good but great value and prompt service. No more daggy basket but a sleek, sophisticated packaging. Very impressed!

This review is for Alpine World, Sydney NSW

Drew made planning our trip to Queenstown for the snow season a breeze. The accommodation he had booked for us was a 3 bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, ensuites in each room (with heated tiles), just by the lake. Apart from a minor hiccup with picking up the car - the vouchers had the address of the head office and not the actual pick up spot, all other bookings were clock work.

This review is for Goeman, Mosman NSW

The seafood hot pot and range of creative sushi are to die for at Goeman. One fo the best japanese places I've been to. The hot pot stock is fully of flavour and packed with seafood. Fantastic value for money . For $24 it'll easily fill up 2 people. A place were you want to come back and try every dish on the menu.

I go to Angie's regularly for, not just any facial, but a 'delux facial' that leaves my skin feeling radiant and fantastic after. For about $98, i get about 90mins of pampering which include a delux facial with extractions, microdermabrasion, oxygen mask and head,neck and arm massage.

This review is for Tom Kerr Auto Centre, Gladesville NSW

We regularly send our car to Tom Kerr for service and have always come out happy. Not only do they have a courtesy van to take you home if you live close by but they also have a complimentary coffee machine for customers whilst they wait. The service guys have always given us good advice on part of they need to be replaced and as our car is still under warranty these having cost us very much.

This review is for Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar, Turramurra NSW

Fast food that's actually not too bad on the waistline. Great range of gourmet pizzas which are also health conscious. You can choose from a range of gluten free pizza. They also have the nutritional and allergy information about their pizzas. All the pizzas we've tried have been delicious!
