This place is dark, dingy and just plane tacky. We went there on a Saturday night for something to do and weren't impressed. The patrons are crude and you either get the terrible cloud of smoke if you dare to sit outside or the smell of stale beer on the inside. Drinks are expensive, entertainment dodgy. This place has nothing going for it. Very unfortunate.
Absolutely love this place. The food is good, the atmosphere delightful and the staff pleasant. I adore the large fire place and the building feels almost closed off from the business of the Knox shopping center pedestrian traffic. We last went for pizza Thursdays which works out very reasonably priced. The cocktails are good too.

I recently moved from Qld where I would go to an ex Imax theatre to a giant screen, with cheap as popcorn and drinks cooked super fresh for only $6 per ticket. I was shocked at the prices here. But not only the price, the cinema screen was quite small and having to pick your seat in advance sucks. It ruins the entire lining up early experience of going to the movies. They do have a god choice of movies here with a good choice of screenings but it is just way too expensive. The food prices are just insane and the popcorn tasted like it had been cooked hours before. I ended up returning it twice and gave up. It's a real pity as the cinema has been empty every time. You never saw am empty theatre at Cineplex in Brisbane. They we're packed to capacity for every session. I never bothered to purchase food outside of the venue as it was so reasonably priced and the venue and location was beautiful.

My husband loves this place. Its a tad funky, a great price and the meal sizes are quite good. Unfortunately I'm not as keen. I'm yet to find something on the menu I like. But the husband still thinks its a winner. Realistically, for the price it is. Its only $15.90 for a drink, enter and main

I've been here with my family a few times now. The meals are of reasonable price and reasonable quality but we are usually attracted by the kids eat free deal in school holidays. The Asian inspired meals are very nice here. Honey chicken is delish.

I used to love grilld but the quality has dropped, the serving size's shrunk and the prices jumped. Even the movie deal has gone up and that had become the only reason I was visiting here anymore. It's still a decent meal for a decentish price but nothing to rave on about and unfortunately it's lunged back into just being take-away. Even the drink prices are outrageous :( AT least the staff here are super friendly.
Oh and worst yet, there chips are no longer the crispy, rosemary herb delights I once bent my diet to indulge in. They are soggy soppy and sad in a smaller round container (they we're already tiny)

This little farm is reasonably priced and great for littleies. We loved looking at all the different animals and my one year old especially liked feeding the huge trail of ducks as we went on the little train. My son wan't keen on the pony ride but it was very reasonably priced and they even refunded when he was too scared to hop on. Only flaw was there wasn't really anywhere to actually eat. The fridges also busted on the day I attended and the drinks I purchased we're warm.
I've been here twice now and there macarons cannot be skipped. *drool* They are Devine. I also tried one of their cheesecakes which was just stunning and the sliders are also very tasty and reasonably priced considering it's all raw food. I also purchased a few types of tea the last time I was in. They are once again Devine. Thoroughly recommend

Let me start off by saying the views here are AMAZING, the gardens are beautiful and the food is actually reasonably priced. My husband got the sky high burger and was thoroughly satisfied. I unfortunately ordered the special which was sword fish. The fish was cooked beautifully but it was bland with no sauce which made it unpleasant. I requested before my husbands meal had even been put on the table if they could bring me a relish, sauce, whatever they had to pull my meal together. I waited and waited and waited. I asked again and another ten minutes passed while waiter relayed to waiter. When the manager/head waitress/top honcho finally approached to ask what the problem was, my meal was cold. They bought me a relish which was lovely but my fish had sat there for some forty minutes and my husband had dined by himself. I'm hoping this was a once off as I'd really like to return for one of their specialty dining experiences. Hopefully it was just the case of a slack waiter that ignored my request.

I have been using this salon for well over a year and have tallied up many of their services. I've tried tanning, gel nails, eye lash extensions, massage and facials. I'm a regular tanner and Kim would have to be the most precise and thorough I've had. I also feel very comfortable going there as it's a home based salon where I'm welcome to bring my son. Child friendly is a necessity in my book. I usually have the eco tan as its certified organic meaning I'm not too worried about all those toxic chemicals soaking into my system. This tan is also much more natural. When I want a really dark tan, I go for vanity or naked tan which are also both very nice but without the certification. These also dry quicker and aren't as sticky so good for when you are in a rush but eco tan is definitely the nicest and more regular tanning friendly.
