Lovely upmarket restaurant in a beautiful spot. Had the steak sandwich (wanted the pork belly, but was sold out) and it was to die for. Mandarin cheesecake for dessert was also really yummy.
Service was excellent, it was a great meal, and I'd very gladly go back.

Approximate cost: $22.00

Have a great range of salads and light meal stuff to take away or eat in. Opposite the hospital, so really convenient, and nice to have another yummy choice on limited time lunch breaks.
Service can be a bit slow (note the "limited time lunch break") but the food is good, and the staff friendly.
Overall, a real asset to this area of town.

Update 2/7/2012 - Thank you so much for serving me a latte in a proper cup today! (Have only ever had takeout coffee before.). Everywhere else, “Can I have a latte please. . . . . in a mug? Oh, you want a cappuccino? No, I want a LATTE, just in a mug please . . . . with a HANDLE!”

I don't care how stylishly European it is to drink a latte out of a glass, that's too hot to hold, with a paper napkin wrapped around it so it's always in danger of slipping and ending up in your lap - thank you Pilgrim, for not even making me ask! What a lovely surprise!

Approximate cost: $7.00

Has moved from Collins St in the last few months to this spot. Dumplings are not bad, the noodle dishes are tasty but tend to be very oily, which puts me off.
I work in the hospital directly opposite and they're happy to take phone orders for pickup, which is convenient. Staff always friendly and service fairly quick.
A little overpriced.

Approximate cost: $9 - $11

Great little Thai cafe hidden away on Elizabeth St. Had the chicken satay for lunch, service was fast, staff were friendly, and food was delicious. Couldn't have been better at any of the Thai restaurants I've been to interstate.

Approximate cost: $11.00

Installed a security screen door for me. Good quote, better than all the others I got. Door exactly what I wanted, installed in a timely fashion and installed well, looks neat and works perfectly.
Would use them again.

Addit Feb 2012: I did use them again, got the same door as last time, I expected the price to have gone up a bit due to inflation, but it was exactly the same.
Had some difficulties with the latch on this door, they had to return three times to get it right, but they persevered until they (and I) were satisfied.

If I had any more doors, I'd use them yet again!

Approximate cost: $500

Had breakfast here with a group from work. Food was good, bacon, eggs, sourdough, spinach, tomatoes all cooked well and served sensibly - not small meals on huge plates, as you get some places. Coffee and was nicely flavoured.
Service was very good, the waitress was very patient with several members of our group arriving in dribs and drabs, some up to half an hour late (think it helped that we go there often and are well known!)

They're a bit funny about bill payment though - only one bill for the table, which is understandable, but another member of the group who goes there more often said they don't like to give change??!! I wasn't the one who paid the bill at the end, so didn't investigate this further.

They're a bit unimpressed if you can't give them exact change when paying for coffee, I have noticed that. I know they're not a bank, but neither am I! Sometimes the smallest note I have is $20, and if they can't change that for a $6 cup of coffee, then perhaps they need to review their cash management strategies.....

Amazing Chinese restaurant, food is unbelievably good and cheap! Went with a group of about 12, we shared quite a few dishes around the table and had several serves of dumplings as entrees - the entire bill averaged out to only $14 person!
The dry fried french beans with minced pork were delicious, as was the salt & pepper calamari and the stir fried sliced potatoes.
The vermicelli with minced pork and the pork dumplings with cabbage also stand out.
There is a fairly cheapish looking front room with tables, and then downstairs a more luxurious dining room, so you can drop in for a quick and easy meal, or have a more up-market meal.
They also do take aways.
This is an unmissable place that you must try.

Approximate cost: $13

So named because it was originally downstairs in the Elizabeth St mall.
Always has a good range of used books, willing to buy books, rare that they refuse any books I take in, and have had some surprising prices paid for books I sold them.
They exchange used books that you've bought as long as you keep the original price sticker on, and the quality of the books is mostly very good - a lot seem to have been read only once.
The owner is enthusiastic and friendly, and always offers (often pressures!) me to select a book for free by an author I haven't tried before.
This is a great secondhand bookshop, and I hope is remains for a long time to come.

I hadn't been here since it was renovated (some years ago) until a few months ago - was amazed and very pleasantly surprised!
They now have a wonderful restaurant/cafe, which is licensed, you can have a meal before or after your movie, with a good range of seating - outdoors, upstairs, or in the foyer. Lovely food and wine, and you can take your drinks into the cinema with you - much better a good glass of wine than a bucket of popcorn!
They now have about six cinemas, and the ticket prices are slightly cheaper than Village.
Some of the new releases do show here - just saw "The King's Speech" on it's opening day on Boxing Day, same day it opened at Village - and this was a much more pleasant experience than going to a Village cinema!
Comfy seats, arranged so that you CAN see over the head of the person sitting in front of you! Cinemas are all fairly small, but this is fine, means they can fit more cinemas on the site so greater selection of movies.
Also sell gift tickets (which I used for Christmas presents) and you can buy discount tickets at selected places (ie, my union sells discount tickets).
I will be a much more frequent visitor in future.

Good little cafe that has very nice food, you can eat in or they also have takeaways. Contrary to their name, they don't just have muffins, have nice healthy food that you can enjoy for lunch, or you can go for those muffins if you wish! Rewards program is always a good way to get me back in!
