This review is for Hargraves Nursery, Dural NSW

We enjoy coming to Hargraves because the staff here are always happy to help with our gardening questions. They also have lots of herbs and small plants which we need for our tiny little balcony garden. They are usually cheaper than larger chains such as Swans and Flower Power too.

This review is for Din Tai Fung, Sydney NSW

The best dumplings. Having been to the original restaurant in Taipei, I definitely recommend this place to anyone hoping to try a bit of Taiwanese cuisine. I love how you can watch the chefs at work through the glass window. Besides the dumplings they also have these other side dishes that is completely different to the normal 'Chinese' food. Love it.
I only gave it 3 stars for service because they can get really busy so service is really impersonal. It's also a little expensive in terms of dumplings, and sometimes you have to wait a while for a table - but it's worth the $$ and wait.

Approximate cost: $14

This review is for Le Petit Tarte Cafe & Patisserie, Glebe NSW

Cute little cafe that serves coffee and cakes. The girls are always friendly and courteous but the coffee can sometimes vary depend on who made it. I don't really like the dark dusty indoor seating so I prefer the outdoor seating, but sitting along Glebe Point Road sometimes can be unpleasant with the traffic and walkers getting in your way. I will visit again, but perhaps not on a regular basis.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Berkelouw Cafe, Leichhardt NSW

We frequent Berkelouw cafe because their coffee is always at a good standard and it never disappoints. The staff are generally friendly and the breakfast is good value. The downside is it's on Norton st, which is busy with cars and buses and as much as the cafe has terrific atmosphere, the car/bus traffic and fumes can be annoying sometimes.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Flight Centre, Eastwood NSW

verified email - 29 Mar 2010

We have our wedding booked with Flight Centre in Eastwood. Although it's a chain brand the staff work hard to make sure we are happy with them and now we are like friends. Unfortunately sometimes when they do get a little busy they can get a little overwhelmed and we have to wait ages to get served. Thankfully the staff are happy to deal with us over the phone and email so most of the time I don't visit anymore.
We mainly deal with Linda, but the other staff are always there to help out when she is not there! That's what I call team work!

This review is for Cottages On Lovedale, Lovedale NSW

Just spent a weekend with 2 friends here in their beautiful 3 bedroom cottage. The owners Cathy and Andrew are friendly and the process of booking and getting to the cottage was easy. The doors to the cottages are pin coded so you don't really even have to try to meet up with them before you check in! Great location to get away from it all we had a fabulous time.

Approximate cost: $1200 for the three-bedroom for 2 weekend nigts with breakfast hamper

This review is for Rhinedorf German Restaurant, Beverly Hills NSW

verified email - 29 Mar 2010

It's hard to find something that is not stereotype German - having lived in Germany I know that Germans don't just eat sauerkraut and sausages all the time - I am glad I found Rhinedorf because they also serve 'family' food which I absolutely love - and have a great range of beers beyond the typical 'Lowenbrau'! :)
Recommend to book.

This review is for Fish On Fire, Glebe NSW

The best chips ever! Great value fish and chips. Just a small shop front so not one for 'ambience' but for a quick bite or for take away it's perfect. As this place is just around the corner from our office I don't think I'll be going anywhere else when I feel like fish and chips!

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Blue Lotus Thai Massage, Leichhardt NSW

verified email - 29 Mar 2010

The girls here are professional and the shop front is clean and tidy. I have not found another massage place better than this one. The price is reasonable too and it's always the best feeling coming out of a massage and there is a hot cup of herbal tea waiting for you.

Approximate cost: $65

Emma was lovely to deal with on the phone and her husband Sacha came and did the spray for us. Excellent service and wasn't extremely expensive as well we were happy.
