They've had a number of different chefs over the last few years. Unfortunately the chef at the moment is just not up to the rest. Quality is average and the menu has become so basic that my vegetarian neighbour no longer goes there as there's nothing for her on the menu at all. The steaks are still good and the fish is ok. There are definitely definitely better pubs around

I went there for the first time last week and ...NEVER AGAIN!!! The food was typical pub grub but why bother asking for a medium-rare steak when they all come out the same, anyway? I was told that they used to be not too bad. Not in my books. The service was atrocious. It took 45 minutes to get our meals and it wasn't even 1/4 full.

I needed a hotel with wheelchair access and was delighted to discover this treasure right in the CBD. The rooms are easily accessible, clean and even have a wheel-in shower. The staff could not be more helpful. The Felt restaurant had a smallish menu but the meals were delicious. I definitely recommend them.

Had a takeaway from here last night. We had the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken (didn't get to try that ... my daughter scoffed the lot ergo it must have been good!), beef vindaloo (wow...that was hot) and their delicious spinach and cheese naan bread. It was absolutely delicious and not too badly priced, I thought

I was shopping for our school tuckshop and the guy that helped me was lovely and knew the product range well. The other Aldi's that I've been to have had terrible customer service but this was far superior

I went through the drive-thru yesterday and grabbed a coffee and muffin. The coffee was one of the nicest I've ever had. You really can taste the freshness of the beans. Beautiful. I'm going to go back for sure.

I called in during the week and chatted to the ladies about different teas. I wanted to make up a gift basket for my mother-in-law. I ended up buying four different packs and she's going to be over the moon! A lovely shop!

I love that I was able to phone ahead so my beef burger was ready when I got there! It was juicy and the onion jam was a really nice touch. Chips were nice and crunchy. It was hot, too, so it hadn't been waiting around.

Approximate cost: $14

We went last night and had the banquet for 4. I wasn't too bad but nothing exceptional. I've had more authentic. The Malaysian curried chicken was probably the best but nasi goreng was good, too.

Approximate cost: $29 for banquet pp

After being bent over a computer in conferences all week my back was in agony. I went in yesterday afternoon and WOW. They found kinks and knots that I didn't even know about. I some advice about relieving pressure points (I'm in a wheelchair) and my back ad neck feel better than they have in a long time.

Approximate cost: $75
