Took the family to breakfast here - the food was sensational! It was fresh & tasty & there was plenty to choose from for both food & beverages (the breakfast crepe & mini breakfast frittata were awesome - as was the french toast!!!) - all up for 4 people the total cost was $65 but we were really happy, satisfied & thoroughly full - can't wait to go back & do it all again

Approximate cost: $10-15 (breakfast)

We had purchased a discount voucher online - I knew it expired on the 25/11/12 - though I hadn't realised we needed to book prior to 26/10/12 (which I take full responsibilty for). On arrival I asked for a table for 4 to which I was asked did I have any vouchers - I confirmed I did - I was then suprised that the lady rudely pointed out that I can't use it as I needed to book. I apologised & enquired was it still ok to use it & she said not today we are booked out (mind you it was already 9am & they only had 2 other customers present at the time). She then proceed to put restrictions on the voucher which made it impossible for us to use. Over & above this - we had another 2 paying customers with us that didn't have a voucher. I am appalled that a business that is trying to promote themselves by offering deals would be so rude to customers instead of trying to accomodate them to ensure they would again return at a later date - on top of this - to turn away paying customers when it was evident that they need the business is beyond belief! I obviously can not comment on the cost or quality of the food as we didn't get that far - but the lack of customer service was enough to ensure I NEVER STEP FOOT IN THEIR DOOR AGAIN!

Approximate cost: $?

This review is for endota spa The Rocks, The Rocks NSW

Anytime I want to be pampered - I'll head to Endota. Hidden along the Nurses Walk in the Rocks (yet easy to find), once checked in you are escorted down stairs to await your treatment. Rooms are well appointed, senses are hightened with gorgeous smelling aromas wafting in the air. I'd live here if I could!

Approximate cost: $varies depending on what you want

This review is for Ricardoes Tomatoes Cafe, Port Macquarie NSW

We went as an outing whilst on holidays - we got there and it was packed! We thought we'd order some morning tea before we went to pick some strawberries - it ended up being lunch though with the amount of people there that was to be expected. I found it a little expensive (2 Scones with Jam & Cream for $8) everything we had was nice - but there was nothing exceptional about it for the price. However the freshly picked strawberries are some of the nicest I've ever had!!!!
