This review is for Koyoto Japanese Tepanyaki Restaurant, Carlingford NSW

verified email - 29 Mar 2010

I find that teppanyaki restaurants can get a little pricey and hence I don't visit that often. I did enjoy my meal at Kyoto Teppan-Yaki. It's a fairly small restaurant so they have 2 seatings which is good because you don't feel like you are just among a large number of people. The menu is good, and I did enjoy the meal too. Service was definitely excellent, the staff were friendly and funny and kept us entertained throughout the night!

Approximate cost: $30+

This review is for Cafe Centro, Eastwood NSW

Excellent coffee and breakfast menu. The staff are generally friendly too. I just find inside the cafe can get really loud, not sure if it's because the sound just bounces off the walls so easily or people tend to speak louder in this particular cafe... some of the menu items can seem a little too expensive for what you get, but I'll come here for coffee anytime.

Approximate cost: $15 on average

Cute little garden cafe that has a range of light meals and fairly good coffee. I like the atmosphere because you are surrounded by these little pot plants and the staff is friendly enough to make you comfortable.

Approximate cost: $7-$10

This review is for Cleo's Cattery, Dural NSW

My sister and I have been sending our cats to Cleos for the past year whenever we need to be away, and they have always taken care of our babies to the best of their ability- the best thing is they put photos of the boarders on Facebook so we can see what our cats get up to when we are not around!

Approximate cost: $15 per day per cat

This review is for Mand's Indian Restaurant, Eastwood NSW

The staff didn't seem to want to work, as all were having a chat at the back and reluctantly took our orders only when asked. Only at time of payment were there any little talk about how the food was and whether we enjoyed it, otherwise very little interaction with the staff which made it feel like we weren't welcome. Perhaps we arrived too early?
Still...
I thought the food was good though, really good curries... but the place is dark and uninviting. We only went because we had a voucher, otherwise having walked past it a few times before it felt too eerie to entre!

Approximate cost: $16

This review is for Sweeney Todd's Haircutting for Men, Springwood NSW

Accompanied my partner to have a haircut. The lady was extremely friendly and chatty we felt like friends instantly. Her shop is only new and there were still some fittings still to go, but that hadn't stopped her from doing her job. Price is good too!

Approximate cost: $18

This review is for Blue Mountains Balloons, Wallacia NSW

Absolutely beautiful balloon decorations and there are so many themes to have! Great value and a very personal service. For a delivery fee they can come down to Sydney too - cost a bit less than some of the Sydney suppliers even with the delivery fee.

This review is for Sweetness The Patisserie, Epping NSW

The most beautiful and perfect cakes and biscuits and tarts I've ever tasted. Wow.
They are a little pricey, at approx. $40 per cake it's not an everyday affair. However for that special occassion once in a while they have never disappointed. The owner, Gena, has been just most wonderful to suggest any variations to her creation based on our preferences and everytime it's all turned out perfect.

This old joint can be crowded, and hot but the service is friendly and coffee is good. The big breakfast is good value and the outdoor seating provides a nice little bonus on a beautiful sunday morning.

Approximate cost: $15
