Little hole-in-the-wall place that does tasty noodles. Selection of noodle type, sauce type and meat/veg type. Fast service. One serve (in a cute cardboard fold-up box) is enough to feed two people. Not the type of place you'd eat in (quite noisy and not much atmosphere) but an excellent take-away option.

Approximate cost: $10

Friendly down-to-earth staff (not too fashionably. Good hairdressers. Free tea/coffee/wine/sparkling - very nice touch! The atmosphere is nice and the place is modern, but not too pretentious. Prices are reasonable.

Approximate cost: $80

A regular evening venue for me and my friends, mainly because it's centrally-located and open relatively late. The food is reasonable, although some dishes are better than others. Servings tend to be quite large. A highlight of the menu is the Italian hot chocolate - thick and almost soupy. Delicious!

Service can be a little inconsistent - sometimes great, sometimes a little lacking, although this is usually because it's busy. The decor/surroundings are nice, but it can be very noisy when it's busy.

Approximate cost: $15

I've eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Delicious Thai food for very reasonable prices. The lunch express menu is particularly good value. The place is busy and can be a little tightly-packed during the lunchtime rush. Surrounds are pleasant.

Lovely location overlooking the lake. Good selection of dishes and wines. Excellent food, although (as is typical for most 'fine dining' restaurants) portions are relatively small. Excellent service. Entry is a little difficult to find - need to walk from the carpark all way round to the other side... and then you have to buzz the security guard! Still a wonderful place for a delicious meal.

Friendly staff (physiotherapists and reception staff). Several physiotherapists available, each with own specialist areas. The ones who have treated me have been very committed to my recovery. All seem to have good knowledge of wider therapies available in Canberra. Hydrotherapy available on-site.

Treatment area consists of individual areas separated by curtains. This lack of "soundproofness" may not suit everyone. I had no issues with it, though.

Top physios are good, but seem very busy with commitments to major sports teams and are often on tour with them. My experience was that I was often "palmed off" from on of the senior physios to a more junior one due to time constraints, and this caused discontinuity of treatment. I experienced several minor errors in billing and communication. Didn't feel like the physios were committed to my treatment.

The business and treatment facilities are very professional and they use a helpful sms appointment reminder system.

A wonderful atmosphere, especially when the weather is good and you can sit in the outdoor area in the sun or under the large umbrellas (or next to the gas heaters in winter!). There is often live music on Sunday afternoons. Service is friendly. The place is family-friendly and attracts a broad range of people, from families with kids to the 'fashionable twenty-somethings'.

Food is a good selection of reasonably-priced good quality pub fare. A range of beers (including three James Squires) are on tap. Broad wine selection. Good reliable coffee.

Approximate cost: $15

Delicious food and an excellent wine list. Warm and cosy atmosphere. A little noisy (polished concrete floor), but not annoyingly so. Excellent value.

Approximate cost: $25

A small, cosy Japanese Restaurant with excellent quality food and very attentive service. Not at the cheap end of things and the portions aren't huge (that's partly just Japanese, I guess!), but the quality is worth it. There's a 'regular' printed menu... plus a selection of dishes drawn on large sheets of paper on the walls!
