I've been going here for years. In my view its the best steakhouse on the coast. As a family owned business which as been on the coast for many years as you arrive you are greeted by friendly staff and a view of the steaks on offer. They also have a really good wine selection to choice from as well.
They also cater for kids and have an area for them to play in.
Entrees start from around $7.50 for garlic bread but they also do platters for two from around $17. I always have the oysters.
You order by going up to the counter to choose your steak, whether that is T-bone to eye fillet to king rump, the choice is yours. You decide how you want it cooked and you can view all the steaks being cooked in the kitchen. You also have choice of sauces to add.
All meals come with an idaho potato topped with bacon sauce and their signature coleslaw, which is to die for. I usually have vegetables or a salad. there are plenty of side dishes to choose from like their famous rump sausages.
If steak isn't for you there's pasta, chicken and seafood dishes on offer too.
After that if you still have room they do lovely desserts and coffees.
Staff are very attentive and friendly. We have got to know quite a few of them over the years and they always make us and our guest welcome.
Although its not a cheap restaurant its a value for money restaurant and one I love to take visitors to Australia too so that they can gain an experience they may not get back home.
All the meats are of a high quality and they have a butchery attached to the restaurant where you can buy a wide range of meats from which you can purchase for your own bbq's etc.,
I love the plastic cows on display outside the restaurant which grabbed our attention when we first arrived on the coast all those years back. Their motto is Just Look For The COWS!!! Brilliant.

Approximate cost: $100 for 2

I have been going to this shop for the last few years.
They have a wide range of fabrics for dress making and crafting projects.
What I really like is their loyalty program. They have a VIP rewards card which every time you make a purchase you earn monies to use next time you shop.
I mainly go for their quilting materials which they always have a good range of.
They also sell patterns, cottons, silks etc., to help with all aspects of dress making and crafting.
Other services they have are dress making referrals, style and image seminars, mail order and monthly emails updating you on what's new in store.
What I also like is their customer service. Unlike other big branded stores that have everything under one roof but not good customer service, the fabric shop offer great customer service in which they understand and appreciate the tasks you are under taking. And the ladies are always willing to help you in achieving the results that you want.

Approximate cost: $84.00

Visited this eatery yesterday. Was recommended by a friend as it does Gluten free fish and chips. As a Coeliac I don't find many places that cater for a gluten free diet but here they have a separate fryer for gluten free products. So I was able to have snapper battered with a delicious greek salad. They have a choice of salads to go with your meals but I could also get gluten free chips if I wanted.
They have a wide range of fish and sea food products and they also do burgers up until 4pm.
Their menu clearly says what items are gluten free but the staff there are very experienced and lovely to deal with, thus giving me a faith and belief if what they say.
We had take away with our friends but there are tables outside and a restaurant next to the shop if you want to sit in and dine.
Very busy there last night, with people coming and go while we were waiting for our order.
They won a Very Good Food Safety award of 4 stars which inspired me with trust that that is what they are supplying. They are I heart food award 2012 state winners and they are featured in the foodies guide 2012.
All in all the food was delicious and I will definitely be going there again.

Approximate cost: $14.00

Have used these electricians on a few occasions over the years. But last week had a new induction hob fitted. They went out of their way to fit the hob as I didn't realise that it was a bigger fit than my previous hob. With no sawing tools on hand the guy went and got a jigsaw from their unit came back cut the counter to the right size and fitted my hob. He even cleaned and wiped up the floor and cupboard underneath as well as wiped down the counter. Then he stayed behind to help me get use to the hob going through the instructions with me until I felt comfortable using it on my own. Wonderfully friendly, efficient service. Couldn't of asked for better.
