Had dinner here with Parents, wife and 2 kids.
Kids menu was good.
À la carte menu was very good.
Food was also very nice.
Service however was lacking. There was 1 person who was helpful, but we waited 20 mins to place an order and all the waiters refused to make eye contact.
Even ordering a drink, took them 15 mins to bring out a bottle of beer !

Approximate cost: $36

Checked in on a friday for the Floriade weekend. Great location.
Good quality room, good service all around. Front desk was very helpful.
Breakfast was spectacular. Amazing buffet with everything one could want.
Only issue was parking. Underground parking was fine but Saturday night was a nightmare and couldn't find a spot. Ended up parking on the street even though i had a 2 day parking pass.

Approximate cost: $272

This review is for Hills Swimming, Kenthurst NSW

The best swimming school in the area.
We have tried a couple of them for my 3 year old but this one is the best so far and we will be sticking with them.
Small classes, reasonable value.
They understand that not everyone wants their kid to turn out into Ian Thorpe and that some just want to make sure their kid can swim and enjoy the water.
Definitely recommended for parents.

Went here for dinner last night.
Very nice atmosphere and great food.
Service was good too and they were always watching to ensure if I needed anything.
Loved the Butter chicken but the highlight were their Cheese naans. Packed full of yummy cheese and huge in size !!

Wow, just wow.
The Pork rolls here are just the best.
I have tried the Pork rolls, and the roast chicken rolls and they are the best in Parramatta. And only $4.50
Also are great are the Dumplings and spring rolls.
One of the best cheap lunches you can get anywhere.

This review is for In The Mood For Thai, Parramatta NSW

One of the best thai places I have been to.
Went there for lunch yesterday an ordered a Duck Panang Curry and it cost $16.90.
Came out in a huge plate with lots of sauce and rice and veges.
$20 with a drink.
I asked for hot and it was hot ! Just as I wanted it.
Very fast service, food in 5 mins. Service is nice, but because they are very busy, its hard for waiters to spend too much time looking after you unless you raise you hard or grab their attentions.

This review is for Milano Espresso, Parramatta NSW

The food here is ok, but the coffee here is the winner.
One of the best coffee places in Parra, if not all of sydney.
The chai latte is excellent.
They need more options for hot food at lunchtime for me to give them a higher rating but I go here for Coffee every morning as that is simply the best in this part of town.

This review is for Spice Of Life, Harris Park NSW

Went here for lunch last week.
Ordered lunch special for $10. Butter chicken and Shahi Paneer (cheese dish) with Rice.
The dish turned up with 3 small pieces of chicken. When I mean small I mean 1cm-1.5cm cube. LOTS of rice, and the shahi paneer was shockingly bad.
I have eaten here a good 6 months ago and the food was decent and flavorsome, but for some reason they have forgot to add flavor and value to their meals now.
Will definitely not go back as in Harris park, there are heaps of good Indian restaurants to eat at.
I honestly don't think they will last long.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Soprano's Pizza & Pasta, Rosehill NSW

I go here for their Lunch special which is Pizza + Can of drink for $10.
Pizza is very good and definitely one of the better ones in Parramatta.
The other lunch special is Pastas or certain lunch dishes for $10. I would recommend the Chicken Schnitzel with chips and Salad with Boscaiola sauce for $10.90. LARGE pice of schnitzel, good amount of chips and fresh garden salad.
One of the best big meals you can get for a small price.

Approximate cost: $10.00
