This review is for Trio Embroidery, Toukley NSW

The name of this business is misleading as apart from and embroidery and screen printing they all supply corporate uniforms. This business won an award in 2003 but you would not get that impression entering their shop. It is a shambles and looks like a business that has given up. Unbelievable that any business could present itself so badly to the public. The changing room is a toilet!

Busy so left 'hanging' waiting for a table but service was fine once seated. I enjoyed my caprese salad and the pancakes with fresh strawberries and ice cream and cream were yummy. Very typical of Newtown but I would go there again

I have been shoe shopping locally without success so although I was heading for David Jones I stumbled upon this Clarks shop just outside Dj's. Having somewhat 'awkward' feet it is not easy for me to get the fit and comfort I want in cheaper shoes. Clarks are not anymore expensive than other quality brands but they do have various widths. The sales staff were most helpful in advising me on shoes to meet my needs ( a lot of walking coming up) and they were encouraging (making me step outside of the box and go for a colour rather than a safe neutral). In the end I walked out with not one pair of shoes but two plus some freebies for being a Clarks loyalty member. I am delighted with my purchases. Many people only think of Clarks for their children but they have a good range for adults and Clarks shoes have a worldwide reputation.

This review is for Park Hyatt Sydney, The Rocks NSW

My daughter took me here as a special treat and it didn't disappoint, well, that is not exactly true I was disappointed with the general decor on entry but once I got to my room it was a different story. Everything in the room was 5 star. We overlooked the harbour and had a balcony. I got great shots of the Opera House and harbour during daybreak and sunset. I have to agree that my experience of the restaurant was disappointing so I would not recommend dining here but I would be game to try the 'high tea' as recommended. You do pay a premium price for the location and it is not my favourite Sydney hotel by any means

Head chef Peter Doyle and his 3 other chefs are responsible for making this restaurant so popular. The food is fantastic in a fine dining atmosphere. I had steamed coral trout fillet, shaved abalone, snow peas, black fungi with a ginger – green shallot vinaigrette 55 - delicious. The service is excellent. I might try the degustation menu next time.

I like this store which has a discount card and weekly specials. There is a good selection of 'health' products and it is possible to speak with a naturopath to get advice and an individualised product. Other staff are also helpful.

This review is for Morisset Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre, Morisset NSW

This business is well established. It is a modest establishment but the treatment is more important than decor. Staff are polite and friendly. A range of injuries can be treated plus they also put on waterproof casts and can fit orthotics.

I love this gift and homewares shops set in a former house. Each room has a different theme and although it is not large it is possible to spend a long time browsing. Shops selling gifts of this calibre are rare in the are and I thoroughly recommend it for those looking for something different for their homes or as gifts. The shops stocks quilts and it is possible to order from a book if the exact one you want is not in stock. The owner will go out of her way to get what you want. The 'children/baby room has some lovely quality items. I bought a gorgeous quilt there plus a musical panda. This is a shop that can be visited time and again as there is always something of interest or something new. I do hope more people get to use this business which is fairly new to the area.

This review is for Bavarian Bier Cafe, Moore Park NSW

verified email - 08 May 2012

I did not enjoy my visit, I found it noisy and the service to be very slow. The portions are big but the menu does not really cater to anyone who doesn't like Bavarian food which I suppose is fair enough as the name says it all. Having been to similar restaurants in Germany and Bavaria, this one was very lacking in comparison. It was busy but that doesn't mean an memorable experience can't be expected. I won't go here again in a hurry and certainly not in the evening. The meal I had was not well cooked or even tasty

This review is for Astino's Cafe Restaurant, Newtown NSW

I like this restaurant and often go there when in Sydney. Staff are nice and friendly and attentive. I like the food especially as they are happy to deviate from the menu without a fuss. The coffee is good and it has a pleasant atmosphere.
