Fantastic pop-up restaurant where one has to arrive early to get a table. However there are many rooms and an outside courtyard. Menu offers a great range of Italian specialties cooked to perfection. This is fun experience with seriously good food. Most dishes offer a small and large option so it is great fun to pick one large dish and a number of small ones and then share.

Approximate cost: $14 - small; 25$ large

This review is for Austral Hotel, Adelaide SA

A Monday lunch with friends where we needed to be able to talk. The indoor dining area (The Bunker) was perfect. We purchased meals via the bar so there were no problems with splitting bills; there was no loud music and the service was really efficient with very pleasant staff. Food quality was great - fish excellent. They don't serve tea/coffee as their main clientele (night time) don't want it. This doesn't create a problem as Rundle Street East has plenty of coffee places a few minutes away from the Austral. This was a great lunch venue with food quality that restores your faith in Adelaide restaurants being able to serve good quality food in price ranges below the 5 star venues.

Approximate cost: $25

This cafe has taken over from Najjars. Nice atmosphere with weekend dining very popular. Breakfast until 3pm on weekends and a very good breakfast it is too. Very clean and inviting with real effort made on presentation. Food is good with Italian specialties. A very relaxing experience with quality food and presentation. Well worth return visits.

This review is for Palace Nova, Adelaide SA

Movie Club membership fantastic value particularly the Golden club. Shows great range of international and local movies and film festivals. Membership of movie club gives you the e-newsletter with details of special events including some free or cut-price previews. Sometimes the allocated seating is silly - especially when asked if you want middle or back and it is a small theatre with about 12 rows and almost no one else in there. I love the Palace-Nova because of the films they show, the comfort of the seats, the special Q&A events with directors etc present and the support given to the Australian film industry.

This review is for Crowmania, West Lakes SA

Great place to support the Crows and to pick up sporting gear that reflects your allegiance. Tracksuits are good quality. Extras like Crows' rugs etc are pricey but good fun to buy as presents particularly for younger fans. Difficult to shop at on match days because it is crowded and you can't take bags in. Track tops for young women not very appealing.

Approximate cost: $average for sports goods but great specials available

This review is for Capri Theatre, Goodwood SA

I love the ambience of this cinema and the fact that it is staffed fully by volunteers who are trying to support the organ society who own the building and the organ. When the organ plays it is a fabulous experience. Seniors $7 every day which is fantastic. It's a great theatre and it's fun going to movies there.

Friendly professional staff. Expert cut and colour. Lovely ambience - an appealing change after many utilitarian hairdressing places. Very up-to-date techniques and equipment.

We visited to celebrate 18th birthday rather than have birthday cake. Fantastic success. Place full but we had booked. Great range of desserts - lots of guys there who were eating happily. Presentation excellent. Place had a special atmosphere that suited our celebration perfectly. Quaint appeal. Upstairs room great.

Approximate cost: $10 per dessert
