I buy an entertainment book every year, that's how good they are. I love the fact that they raise money for charities and also make it a lot easier to go out for dinner with a family as we know how expensive this can be. You pretty much get back what you paid for the book within the first 2-3 times you go out for tea.

There is just an amazing variety of places and thing to do in that book.

I highly recommend these to my family and friends all the time.

Approximate cost: $65.00

We went here for a catch up dinner with friends. Its a great spot, especially in summer as the beach is right there.

Everyone's meals looked good but were a bit over priced. Unfortunately not much attention had been paid to the chicken in my salad as one side of a tenderloin had been grilled for only a few seconds and flipped onto the other side so I had raw chicken in my salad.

I advised the staff of the issue and they were very quick to apologise and get me a brand new meal, plus they did not charge me for my meal as an apology for what happened. I was very impressed with how they managed that.

Approximate cost: $23.00

We have been here a couple of times for birthday lunches (bistro area). The first time there it was great. The second time I went I ordered a special meal which came with a house wine. I was 7.5 months pregnant and asked if I could substitute the drink for a soft drink and the girl flat out said 'no, you can not'. I advised her that I was pregnant and should be able to have a soft drink instead of a alcoholic drink, plus it would work in their favour in costs wise. She asked a manager who gave approval to swap it.

The third time we went everything was great, however, they didn't time the meals very well for he tables. On 2 tables, we had people eating at all different times over a 1 hour period. One of my friends food took an additional 20 minutes to come out which I wasn't too impressed about, considering she ordered salmon and I had a chicken snitty burger. We asked about the food and it was brought out soon after but there was no apologies.

We have also eaten n the all you can eat bit and I could not fault that! It was great with a very large variety of food.

Approximate cost: $20.00

After my mum and a friend had been their for breakfast one morning and said it was beautiful. I was determined to go and have a meal as their breakfast looked amazing.

Me and my sister went for dinner and I had a pasta which was a special which was delicious. I am a sucker for a creamy pasta! My sister had a pizza which was divine.

Great sized portions for the money you pay. I had a voucher from the entertainment book which was a buy 1 get 1 free.

This review is for O'Halloran Hill Florist Wedding Specialist, Morphett Vale SA

Michelle is very talented! I had a meeting with her in regards to my wedding flowers and her ideas and creativity blew me away. I had quite a big bouquet, 5 bridesmaid bouquets and 9 button holes (done with magnets so you are not putting holes in your clothes).

The price was great - in comparison with being quoted for fake flowers she was still $300.00 cheaper! Other florists wanted to charge me at least $1000 for my flowers and mine were half that.

When my flowers arrived on my wedding day, I was blown away!! They looked even better than what I had imagined.

I have recommended her to other friends since and they have all loved their flowers too and the price really makes a difference because everything is so expensive with weddings.

We got married here in 2010 and we couldn't have wished for a better place. We had our ceremony out on the green and the reception upstairs.

We got married on a 36 degree day which as very humid. They were prepared with glasses filled with col water and ice for our guest while they waited for me to arrive.

The food was extremely delicious and very generous servings. Many guests complimented on the food as at some weddings you don't get much or it can be average. We had a 3 course sit down with 2 options for entree, 3 options for main and 2 options for desert. Our guests took our wedding cake home so they could have it over the following days.

The staff were very well presented and were very prompt with serving our guest and making sure the alcohol was always topped up.

The room was beautifully decorated and attention to detail was amazing.

Approximate cost: $120.00 per head

This review is for Better Bake, Woodcroft SA

This bakery is one of the best in the metro area. Their pies are mouth watering and their eclairs are to die for. Their little donut balls are perfect for a sweet craving, espcecially if you know you will feel guilty about eating and entire donut,Very fresh and always has that amazing bakery smell. The only down side is that they are not open Mondays.

Approximate cost: $4.00

I have taken my 2 dogs here for a few of their yearly vaccinations. They are good with their check ups but can b a bit pricey and as someone said before they are pushy. I have now been told 3 times that my dogs need to have a blood test as they are nearly 7 and this will out rule any potential health issues... This would be about $110 each dog! I also get letters now to say due to my dogs age they need to come in every 6 months. I don't think this is necessary as lets face it, we take our dogs to the vet if they aren't well or need heir vaccinations. They also always try to sell me their science diet doog food which is literally 4 times the price of the food I feed my dogs. The staff and vets are very friendly though and the place is always clean.
