I went here for a kitchen tea on a Sunday afternoon and it was just wonderful. The finger sandwich and cakes were delicious and the tea and champagne was flowing. Can't wait to go back- what a beautiful venue for a Sunday afternoon.

Nice food- I love the veal schnitzel with boscaiola sauce! My only problem is they only have 2 high chair which have been booked every time I go. I have learnt my lesson not to go there with my daughter unless we've reserved a table with high chair. They can get very busy on weekends so if you don't want to sit in the smokers section you should reserve a table.

Approximate cost: $20

I enjoy the food here and the coffee. I love the location in the center near the children's play area so I can take my daughter for a play while we wait for lunch.

Approximate cost: $15

Great place for the groceries- good variety, love the wide aisles and friendly staff. Parking can be tricky around lunch time or in the afternoon but if it's early you can get an undercover car park easily.

Oh yum! Ice cream is a bit expensive- especially if you get carried away with the add ins but I find simple is tastiest and ice-cream is expensive where ever you go anyway so why not have some chocolate freckles smashed into it?

Approximate cost: $9

Babies Galore have a great range of things for your baby but keep in mind they are sales staff and may not necessarily have what's best for you in mind when giving advice. I always go home and research things before buying them there to check other people's reviews and compare prices. If you're buying a pram or cot or similar make sure you ask for 10% too.

I've ordered cakes for birthdays and weddings from here and never been disappointed. The quality is second to none and the cakes have always been so beautifully presented. I feel like going there and buying cake right now...

This review is for Thai Square Restaurant, Warners Bay NSW

*UPDATE: I originally complained about the service but ordered take-away from here recently and it was ready very promptly. I haven't been game to try delivery again but the takeaway was great!*

The Thai food is nice but the service has just been too slow! I've given up on this place after about 5 visits and consistently slow service. We made the mistake of getting delivery once and it took 1.5 hours! We rang twice to chase it up and were never warned it would take so long and never apologized to. Even getting a takeaway in store we've had over a half hour wait and when there are so many Thai places around it's just not worth the wait.

Approximate cost: $15

Best chips around and have been for over 10 years! Yum burgers too but you might want to ring ahead- I've had to wait 35mins for a burger on a Friday night once because they were so busy

Good takeaway food shop, nice chips which is so important and I enjoy the fish burger. And you can't beat the fact you can get a cheap lunch and eat it across the road on the foreshore. Watch out for the seagulls but! They can be vicious!

Approximate cost: $10
