We stopped off here for a quick snack , Looked like th average country town style bakery. I ordered a pie for my daughter and a pastie for myself to takeaway. Handed over a $20 note and imagine my suprise when the change I got was $6 . Thats $7 each for a plain pie and a vegetarian pastie. The pie was good apparently not mince but chunky steak but my pastie was very ordinary with a lack of seasoning (bland) . The upside was the sauce was free. Will never go back there again. The prices were absolutely ridiculous, would not even be charged that amount for a pie in the middel of toorak.

Renee is such a lovely person and so devoted to the comfort and wellbeing of her clients. My daughter and I had the deluxe pedicure and it was the best we have ever had. Renee was so accomodating to our needs with my daughter being pregnant . I give this business a gold star and the old saying of you get what you pay for is so true to this business. Great value for an excellent service.

First time to this aquarium and it was pretty good. Nothing made the WOW factor but was interesting all the same. Sharks swimming overhead was the best part.

Traditional Pub food. Cheap but good. Steak was cooked to our liking , The sides we had to pay extra for were OK. Drinks were resonably priced. The only downfall was the cleanliness . the tables ,floor and menus were all sticky in great need of a wipe over. My shoes actually stuck to the floor up near the bar and this was quite early in the evening. But overall a good experience.

Very professional. I had an eye test and it was the most in depth one I have ever had. After having problems with my eyes for a couple of years Mark finally told me what the problem is and how the glasses I need will benefit me. Katherine the lady who helped me choose my glasses was wonderful. Very patient and honest.

Went here for Breakfast and it was really good. Buffet style with a good selection of hot food, powdered scrambled eggs were not so good but as I found out later I could have ordered poached or fried . The selection of pastries and different types of breads for toasting were impressive. Would definately go back

This review is for Sydney Harbour Funboat, Sydney NSW

Booked for a Vivid Cruise. Supposed to board at 7pm but didnt actually get on the boat until about 7.30. It was supposed to be a cruise to see the vivid lights but the lights were so bright inside it was hard to see the outside display. Music was way too loud. Half way through the cruise the whole thing turned into a disco party . We were expecting a nice quiet cruise to view the lights and have a little something to eat and return back to dock. The food was disappointing and the drinks were warm. If you wanted ice it was from the kitchen sink (ok for a backyard bbq) but not when you are paying $50 per head.

Approximate cost: $50

The wax figurines were amazing! I actually bumped into one and apologised before realising that it was wax. It was very crowded when we went in perhaps they could cap the amount of people allowed in at one time. Overall it was a great experience but very expensive

We had dinner here on a Saturday night . The special was two courses for $37.00 per person.
It was great value for money. Wait staff where good and very attentive. Meals came in a resonable amount of time. My daughter had steak with mash and it was cooked just as she wanted it, the mash was creamy and full of flavour. I had the prk tenderloin stuffed with apple,prunes and walnuts. The meat was fantastic just melted in my mouth. Although a bit dubious of the prunes they complimented this dish.
Would definately go back again when in Sydney

I bought my weekend here on a promotion of buy 2 nights get one free. If I was paying full price I would have been disappointed. On the second floor there was a lot of street noise and the room smelt like chinese takeaway LOL.
Overall the room was clean but not quite what was depicted on the website. I would stay here again because of the close proximity to Darling Harbour, Chinatown, Paddys markets and the free shuttle bus to the CBD. Although I would be asking for a room on the 10th floor (no street noise)

Approximate cost: $208.00
