I asked for about a zillion quotes to get my little flat cleaned. What stood out for me was that the quote I received was personable, friendly, and from the same lovely woman who actually came and cleaned my house. She was flexible in arranging times and regular cleaning appointments, and did an exceptional job cleaning. The rubbish was gone and even the last couple of dished were washed and put away.

I have been going to Paramount Sports regularly for awhile, and I think they're stuck with me forever.

After a history of disappointing visits to physios, podiatrists and doctors, one visit here gave me hope that actually, I wasn't going to have to give up the sports I loved.

Anna and Brett work with athletes and recreational sports nuts, and they always, always want to find a solution. Trust them - it's worth it!

I love that this place is always busy, yet the service is always great.

I love coming here for a lazy brekkie, an afternoon cup of tea, or, just or kicks, a little chocolate car with a teddie bear in it. Even though it's child friendly, it's a very adult place to feel all grown up for a chat with friends over great food.

I had an amazing night here. Cocktails in the foyer followed by a very warm welcome as we were led to our booth by a very attentive waiter. The restaurant itself is small, and it felt exclusive and warm.

The food came out much more quickly than I expected, and I got to enjoy some of the best squid and pork belly I've ever had.

Definitely do not fill up on the rice here - the food is plentiful!

This is a great cafe. A good selection of food, decent, fast service, and a nice atmosphere. I come here after a run (smelly! I know, I know!) so we sit outside and eat our breakfast peacefully. After a run, you want that food to be fast! Thankfully, we never have to wait long.

Wow. I came here with friends and was a bit concerned that we'd strayed too far from the city (snobs... I know, I know). Once we finally figured out where to park and cross the road, we looked at the Christmas lights with a raised eyebrow, entered, and immediately found ourselves with the nicest hosts I've ever met. We were seated in seconds, every need was tended to, dishes were explained when we looked confused, and everything came in good time.

The food was incredible - my pad see ew loving boyfriend tells me it was the best he'd had, and my own tofu was beautiful.

We'll be back!

I really enjoy coming here for lunch and dinner. As Thai goes, it's fairly standard, but it's done well, and everything is full of flavour and not too heavy. I love their quick lunches, and am a huge fan of their pumpkin basil dish. Definitely one to try if you're close by.

I love this place - I love Vietnamese, and Nha Trang make it fresh, quick and easy. I've had a few problems with service, particularly in getting the right address for delivery, but they do make a big effort, and I got a couple of phone calls to make sure we had it all sorted out.

If you're in the area, it's an easy bet for a good lunch or quick dinner.

I came here for Sunday morning brunch with friends, and was pretty disappointed. The staff who served us seemed to have no idea what was going on - they didn't know what was on the menu, weren't able to give us any information about the food, got our orders wrong, and then, to add insult to injury, crammed a huge table full of people in behind us so that people were sitting on chairs touching ours - we had to stay tucked into the table.

I was really under-whelmed by the food - apparently 'seasonal vegetables' includes potato, hot croissants are not an option, and none of the food was great quality. This menu doesn't offer poached eggs (but you can get them fried, scrambled or boiled) which really makes me wonder about their cooking ability.

It's a cute little place, and the servers were nice, if not overly competent. I won't be going back though.

I had a buffet lunch here with friends, and felt thoroughly spoilt! It's a gorgeous place to look down over Canberra. Oh, and of course they have food. There was nothing super special about the quality of the food, but when you've got to the top of the mountain, some beautifully cooked pastries and salads can't be beaten!
