Been here a couple times and I have found the food to be mediocre at best.

The groups I've gone with are big rib fans and both groups have been really disappointed.

The entrees are probably better than their mains however I wouldn't rave about them.

The service received has always been polite but when we get our food, there's always something forgotten and left out.

We've never stayed for dessert because we've been so disappointed in dinner.

I find this place highly overpriced for the quality of food. The ribs are about $40 and the portion size is quite big, but noone I've been to Outback's with has been impressed with the quality.

I don't think I'd come back to this place again.

I was in Melbourne a while ago and tried this place with my sister. The macarons are just devine and there is quite a variety of flavours. My favourite was definitely the salty caramel!

We stopped in to have some tea and macarons and the lady serving us was very polite and friendly. We wanted milk with our tea but they had run out of milk, so the lady went to buy some and when she got back, presented us with an additional two macarons, free of charge as an apology for keeping us waiting for milk (we were only waiting about 5 or so minutes)!

The tea there was also exceptionally tasty. I normally just drink tea and it tastes like tea, but there was something particularly yummy about this one.

The prices are on par with all the macaron stores I've been to however the smallest box they have is a 6 pack. You can also purchase the tea for $30 and it is a large box of tea.

I would definitely come back to this place if I went back to Melbourne!

I bought my wedding dress from here and found the staff polite and very knowledgable.

As my dress was a zip up, I decided I wanted buttons added to the back and paid an extra $90 for an extra metre long piece of material that matched my dress.

After my first fitting I asked where my buttons were and the lady making the alterations didn't know what I was talking about and as Wendy wasn't in, I had to call her at a later date to ask when the buttons would be put on. Wendy remembered the buttons and told the lady making the alteration.

At my next fitting, the buttons were sewn on and I had about 15 small buttons and asked for the leftover material as my mum was going to make me a matching bag/purse and I was told they'd used up all the material. On top of that, they still charged me $4 per button for making them.

I was thoroughly unimpressed that they had used one metre of material for 15 small buttons. After much discussion with Wendy, she said it was unlikely they had used the whole metre, however they couldn't find the material so they would give me a discount on the dry cleaning.

I was told the dry cleaning had gone up to $300 when it was previously $250 (or something like that) and then the day after my wedding when I handed in my dress to be dry cleaned, she gave me another completely different price!

The service received here was good but inconsistent.

This review is for Shoes Of Prey, Sydney NSW

verified email - 06 Mar 2013

I won a $500 voucher for Shoes of Prey at a wedding expo at Foxtel studios.

I had my wedding shoes made and a pair made for my sister. The shoes fit perfectly and were exactly what I designed. I had ivory silk material and I was quite happy with the finished product except the silk flowers I added were a bit squished and I couldn't get them to sit quite right.

The shoes were so comfy that I didn't even need my flats that I bought as a back up (I have since worn the flats and they are NOT comfy at all!!).

All up I was very pleased with the level of service received and the shoes. My sister absolutely loves her shoes and everyone is always complimenting her on the uniqueness of them.

I find the shoes quite pricey (about $180 for flats last time I looked) however bear in mind that is it a custom made shoe and they are VERY comfy!

If you're a shoe lover, I would definitely recommend Shoes of Prey.

This review is for PhotoBooth Events, Sydney NSW

I first heard of PhotoBooth Events at a wedding expo and had a photo taken with my sister. We both thought it was heaps of fun and I thought it would be great for my upcoming wedding.

Steve was very helpful and professional. We got a two hour full colour package and it also included the photo album which had a copy of the photo and the guests could also sign it (so it doubled as our guest book) and the guests got to keep a copy of the photo too as the machine prints out two copies. Steve was there the whole time manning the booth to make sure there were no hiccups and to ensure people signed the album.

My husband was VERY reluctant to get the photobooth however he now admits it was a great idea. We bought our own props from the $2 store and people had a blast. The line was massive which meant the dance floor was empty!

For those considering a photobooth, I would highly recommend PhotoBooth Events and Steve as is it great value for money, your guests will love it and the service you receive will be fantastic.

Steve coordinated with our reception venue about delivery time for the booth and set up, so we didn't have to do a thing!

This review is for Din Tai Fung, Sydney NSW

Been here are few times as the food is really tasty!

I find it quite expensive for what you get (depending on what filling you get, you could be paying up to about $8 or so for four little dumplings).

The food is really flavoursome and it doesn't take too long to make. The longest we've had to wait when they were really busy was about 15min.

The service isn't extraordinary. You fill in a sheet of paper with what you want to order and the person at the counter puts it into the computer, you pay and move on.

I would definitely recommend this place for the food.

This review is for Sydney CBD Medical Centre & Skin Cancer Clinic, Sydney NSW

verified email - 26 Feb 2013

I recently started coming to this medical centre because they do travel vaccinations.

The staff are friendly and professional and you don't usually wait too long (depending what time you go), if you just walk in. If you have an appointment, you're not usually kept waiting too long, if at all.

I started seeing Dr Clayton Scarcella and he is just amazing. He's very thorough and has a fantastic sense of humour that just puts you at ease. I bombard him with questions and he answers them all and he doesn't seem to mind.

I would highly recommend going to this clinic if you are in the area.

This review is for LDF Tattoo, Newtown NSW

Had a piece done by Klaus a few weeks ago. I was really happy with the way it turned out.

I knew the elements of what I wanted, but I wasn't sure how to piece it together. Klaus did it all and I loved it! The colours and the shading were all perfect. It is my biggest piece to date and I am already thinking of my next one. It took about 4 hours to complete in full colour and I paid $600.

I would highly recommend these guys. They are friendly, professional, clean and talented!

This review is for QV Bar Cafe, Sydney NSW

I often come here to catch up with friends or to grab lunch with colleagues.

The service here is generally pretty good and the food is delicious! My favourite meal is the prawn salad. It's about $19. The portion size isn't huge, but I feel full, without being stuffed afterwards.

I love the white chocolate mocha here too. This is the only place I get my coffee from because they make it how I like it.

I've only had very minor issues with the staff here. They've given me normal mocha instead of white chocolate, but I think it was because they were new staff. Never had any issues with staff being impolite or rude.

I would definitely recommend this place!

This review is for Da Vinci's, Summer Hill NSW

My husband and I used to come here a lot more often, however we found the food isn't the same quality as it used to be.

I used to love getting the lamb shanks and my husband would always like his steak. We took a friend there recently and the food was quite bland and not of it's usual standard.

The food is fairly priced, however I don't think we'll go back for a while.
