Noisy environment, wait staff rarely seen, but busy and most tables filled. Food - great presentation and my calamari was fresh. Others had chicken parma and the Tuesday steak special, all good.

I had lunch at Misty's last Sunday and got my car washed at the same time. Love the new outside deck (I sat outside, with my dog) and colour of the building. The food was delicious, the car looked beautiful and the waitress even provided water for my dog. Thanks to all at Misty's!

Front loading washer was not completing cycle or pumping out water. I phoned at 9am on a Saturday and was promised someone would be here by 4. The repair man arrived 45 minutes early (ringing first, to make sure I was home) and had the job done in about 20 minutes. Left no mess. Courteous and efficient. $130 for time and to replace pump; no call out fee.

Disappointing. Took my Honda here for it's first service. I did not buy the car from Astoria, so maybe that could be a problem for them? When I booked the service, I specifically asked for a particular accessory to be fitted to the car. The receptionist took the details and said if there was any problem with this, she would ring me. I heard nothing, so assumed all was ok. The accessory was not fitted and when I queried this, I was told that I had not asked for it when booking, nor mentioned it when I dropped the car in that morning. Their web site mentions a courtesy car, but this was not mentioned to me until I went to pick the car up after work. I previously owned a Mazda and their service was friendly and outstanding - a courtesy ride was always offered whenever I booked a service.

Good selection of wines you probably won't find elsewhere. Friendly staff, no pressure to buy. Deliveries on time and left at the post office if you're not home. Interesting website and member offers. Delivery every 10 weeks.

Approximate cost: $160

The order always correct and nothing is too much trouble. Delivery on time and staff friendly. I walked down there last Christmas Eve about 10pm after a long day of holiday preparations. They gave me my (small) pizza for $5 and much cheer!

Approximate cost: $10.00

Wonderful! Friendly and knowledgeable staff; good range of products; post office that stays open as long as the store does - even on Saturday; home delivery available; great weekly specials.

I've been going to this vet for over 20 years. I've tried other vets in the past but always come back here where I feel welcome and secure that I'm getting the best treatment for my pet. The vets are always happy to explain your pet's problem, make recommendations (with costs and outcomes), but let you decide on treatment. Natural therapies also available. All staff are very caring, 'treating' the owner as well as the patient. After hours service available.

I love going here for breakfast. The service is fast, the price and food are great. I always feel like they know me here, even though I might not visit for several months. Good coffee, too.
