We dined at Heritage Wines while on a winery tour. The food was amazing. The service was excellent.

There was not one thing about the food that I didn't like.

My only complaint is that they do not split the bill.
(We had about 15 people at our table!)

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Mighty Cool Car-Air Conditioning, Ipswich QLD

verified email - 13 Dec 2010

My car was making weird noises, which my Dad determined to be the air-conditioning. We called Mighty Cool and he came out the next week. It was a lot cheaper than I expected and the air-con is now freezing cold right from the word "Go". I am very happy. He was very knowledgeable and was able to recommend other people to me for different services my car required.

Approximate cost: $120

This review is for Clubb Coolum Beach Resort, Coolum Beach QLD

We have just finished our 4 night stay at Clubb Coolum Beach Resort. We paid $600 for 4 nights, and it was great value. The room is beautiful. Nice and spacious and very well equiped. 2 large LCD tvs, with some cable channels. Beautiful Kitchen. BEAUTIFUL view.
It lost one star for Quality as the beds weren't the comfiest, but otherwise I cannot fault this resort.

Approximate cost: $150 p/n

This review is for The Coffee Club, Greenslopes QLD

We went there for drinks and cake after lunch. I had sticky date pudding & a Tropicana Frappe. The sticky date pudding came out cold, but still tasted delicious (would've preferred it warmed up though!) and the Tropicana Frappe was supposed to have cream and icecream but it didn't (was also nice though.

The young guy serving us was extrodinarily helpful. He was very very friendly. It was a very nice change to some of the service these days. I probably wouldn't go back for the cake, but I probably would go back for the service.

We went there for lunch today. The food was delicious, as always.
In the past they have had a section at the end of the train that was vegetarian, and I much preferred that system as I found it a lot easier to choose things. However, we told the staff what I could and couldn't eat and they were more than willing to help. She stood there and listed off some different ones and then had them made up for me. She was very friendly and very willing to help, which was great!
I had 5 plates and it cost me $15.50. Not bad for a nice meal. We also had a 4 year old with us and he thought the whole idea was excellent.

Approximate cost: $3-$5

This review is for Hyperplex Cinema, Loganholme QLD

Nice clean cinemas. Their Star Cinemas are much cheaper than Gold Class, however I would rate the Star Cinemas somewhere in between normal cinemas and Gold Class cinemas. The service isn't quite the same and the chairs are not as nice and comfy as Gold Class.

But for the price, I can't really complain!

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Cactus Jack's Bar & Grill, Shailer Park QLD

I love Cactus Jack's! Their food is delicious. My boyfriend is Gluten Intolerant and a Vegetarian, so feeding him is a bit tricky, but we have had no problems finding a few things at Cactus Jacks that he is able to eat, which is excellent!

The food is always delicious. Very reasonably priced, and generous serving sizes. The staff have always been friendly.

It cost us $70 one time - that included a cocktail, 2 mains, 2 entrees, and dessert. Pretty good value in my opinion!

Approximate cost: $15-20

This review is for Toscani's, Springfield QLD

YUM. We visited Toscani's for lunch one day. WOW the food was fabulous. Delicious!!! My only complaint was that it took a fair amount of time to come out (about 45 minutes) and we were very hungry. But otherwise the food was wonderful!

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for DC Hair, Redbank QLD

verified email - 11 Oct 2010

I went there to get my eyebrows waxed. Never again! It was done very very quickly (I was in and out in less than 5 minutes) she waxed the top and bottom once each. No plucking. No cream. I stupidly didn't put my glasses back on to check them. I got out to my car and looked in the mirror - one eyebrow was noticeably thinner than the other (so thin infact that it looked like it ended halfway across my face.)

Approximate cost: $8

This review is for Smokin' Kitchen, Redbank QLD

We went there for lunch one day. There were only a couple of others in the restaurant. The food arrived promptly, however it was disgusting. I had GRILLED Barramundi (with Seasonal Vegetables) and my friend had Salmon with Salad.

My Barramundi was lightly battered (not grilled?) and was as hard as leather. It was full of bones. The vegetables were mashed potato (the nicest part of the meal) and a huge pile of semi-cooked carrots, and also some semi-cooked broccoli.

My friend's Salmon was very hard aswell, and had a grey colour to it. Her salad looked completely unappetizing.

Considering our meals were around $19 each, I would expect something a bit better than this.

It's a shame. This shopping centre really needs a good cafe!

Approximate cost: $19
