The nachos are FANTASTIC!! A serving for 2 people is enough for at 4 people. This is a place that you want to go to hungry! The margaritas are great (when are they not?) but I would advise asking for an extra shot of tequila. There other food is also fantastic, but often we can't get past the nachos and the margaritas. Like most Mexican places it can be a little pricey, but MUCH better quality than somewhere like Taco Bill!

The food is fabulous! Their special dish 'Anna and the King' is a tofu dish that even non-vegos will love. It is a green style curry and is a massive serve. Which is great as you can then ask for a container to take home the leftovers. BYO but they do have beer and wine available to purchase. The Thai beer is great! Service can be a little slow at times, but the food is well worth the wait!

BRILLIANT Mexican restaurant. The nachos at this place are HUGE! Big eaters will struggle to get through nachos and then a main meal. However, staff are more than happy to give you containers to take food home in. This place is MUCH better than the Taco Bill chain: food is nicer, staff friendlier and they put more tequila in their margaritas!!

A great Thai restaurant. I have only ever ordered take out and have received very speedy service. The food is lovely and there is enough to have for a second meal....or a very large meal if so inclined.

One of the best Thai restaurants I have been to! And I have been to a few! The food at Poppie's is phenomenal! The best dish I have tried there is "Anna and the King": a curry, tofu dish. The tofu is homemade and the most delicious I have ever had. The old standby: Pad Thai, is brilliant as well. In fact everything I have tried there is great!

WOW! Paid for the "friends and lovers" package which cost $135 pp. Very cheap in comparison to most day spas. This package included a facial, foot massage and full body massage.

Lovely Japanese staff and FANTASTIC potions and lotions for the facial. For the massage you have your choice of a variety of different types. The relaxation oil massage was fantastic!

Waxing is 25% off on Mondays. The service, in terms of the staff, is great. Very friendly and personable girls. I would recommend going on a Monday to get the discount. However, I have just noticed that there are some areas that appear to have been missed.

I have also had a pedicure and would not recommend it. Although the service was good, for an hour pedicure I want to be sitting in a very comfy chair, not a chair with a cushion on it.

Carolyn is a fantastic physio. All of the staff (front-staff and physios) are welcoming and extremely helpful. Carolyn know her stuff and is very friendly and easy to get along with.

They offer all of the typical physio services. I would highly recommend this physiotherapist to anyone!!

This review is for Minsky's Piano Bar Hotel Cremorne, Cremorne NSW

An odd little nightclub that, according to friends, has a bit of a cultish following.

There were many rooms to go to - the place was a bit of a rabbit warren! - with different music in each.

We ended up in the piano bar, which provided some pretty good music. The bar service was pretty average. The all female staff were more interested in serving men than the women.

An experience nonetheless!
