This review is for The Valley Inn, Hope Valley SA

verified email - 26 Mar 2013

The Valley Inn, although not one of the fanciest dining in Adelaide, is known for great value. So, if you're looking for a place to take the family or a couple of friends without breaking the wallet, this would be your ideal place. The food portions are generous and there's even a salad bar! I tend to order the chicken schnitzel and haven't had a problem with it so far. They also have specials for particular meals on various days, which is always good for saving even more money.

I think what does it for Paradise Hotel are its generous portions at such low prices. It's definitely somewhere I'd bring the family, or even a group of friends, to just enjoy each others company whilst keeping on a low budget. I especially like the cheap days which provide even MORE value. To top it off the salad bar is a nice addition with its variety of sides such as pasta salads, garden salads and bread.

This review is for Cocolat, Adelaide SA

Cocolat provides a calm, soothing environment where customers can unwind and relax whilst enjoying delectable desserts or simply sipping on a hot cup of cocoa. Their range of chocolate infused desserts, along with their range of drinks, makes this the perfect location for an enjoyable outing any time of the day or night. Some of the menu items might seem a little on the pricier side, but that is compensated with service and cosy setting.

Rundle spices provides an easy going atmosphere for the diner, along with fast service, quality food at an affordable price. I have eaten here quite a few times due to those qualities previously listed and have never been disappointed. I especially like the fact that they have lunch time specials, which keeps me coming back for more!

This review is for Highbury Dental Care, Highbury SA

Although one does not generally enjoy a trip to the dentist, Highbury Dental Care makes this trip, less horrible. The outstanding aspect of their business is their service. The dentists, dental assistants and receptionists are very welcoming, warm and considerate. There is really nothing to fault in terms of service which makes up most of the experience in this area. They are also of course, very capable.

This review is for Highbury Hotel, Highbury SA

My experience at the Highbury Hotel have been quite pleasant. The food is pretty similar to a lot of other hotel/pub kinds of food, but if that is your intention when stepping in, you generally won't be disappointed. I ordered a chicken schnitzel which was enjoyable, though in my opinion its pretty hard to mess up something like that. The service was friendly and polite, however you are required to line up at the cashier, which took a while. Overall, the prices are standard, unless you find a coupon for it behind a docket, or if you go on a day where they discount particular dishes.

This review is for Midori Sushi, St Agnes SA

verified email - 25 Mar 2013

This is a great little take-away store for your 'fast-food-type' Japanese food needs. What I particularly enjoy is not only their great selection of sushi, but the fact they do the flame grilled salmon pack. This is an item found more in restaurants and locations such as sushi train, not usually available to smaller, fast moving take-out stores. Midori however, do it and do it well! I also enjoy their Japanese chicken curry. The service is generally quite good, I'm not sure how long they actually take to serve you if you went in and ordered, as I generally like to give them a ring beforehand :)

This review is for Itami Sushi, Oaklands Park SA

verified email - 16 Mar 2013

Everytime I head to this side of town and have a craving for sushi or something japanese, these guys pop into my mind. I have a strange addiction to one particular dish which keeps me running back for more! I do enjoy the fact they do simply more than sushi. For example, hot meals with rice or other, bubble tea etc. The service is generally pretty good, which may not be expected in such a fast moving restaurant (e.g. importance is not on dining experience, but on speed) but they do well! I would definitely recommend them!

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for That's Amore Pizzeria, Highbury SA

My first impression of the business wasn't all that great as the interior decoration of the restaurant was quite simple. It lacked a sense of atmosphere which I believe is part of the dining experience. I ordered the Penne Con Pollo as that tends to be my choice of meal at Italian restaurants. My sisters ordered one small Primavera and one small Ortolana, both vegetarian pizzas. The service was fairly prompt and the waiter and waitress that dealt with the food and drinks were quite pleasant, so I was happy with the service in that respect. When my meal arrived I was pessimistic about the portion size, however was pleasantly surprised at the end as it amounted to be the perfect amount (keep in mind I'm generally a smaller build than most people, though I do enjoy my pasta!). My sister's meals however, were not enjoyed as thoroughly; and for the price, I did not think it was worth it. Overall, I can't comment fully based on my one dining experience, however it feels very average in my opinion. I had no major problems with it, however I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there.

Approximate cost: $18
