Went to try this place after reading the recommendations on WOMO, as its close to where I live. Had a facial and wow it was honestly the best facial I've had! The Image products they use are really good quality and the girls are very knowledgeable to recommend what was best for my skin. The staff are really friendly and make you feel comfortable at all times when you are at the salon. Its not the cheapest place but the price is great for what you get. If you're on a budget I recommend following their facebook page as they often post up last minute specials when they have a quiet day. I really want to try out their CACI treatments as the before and after photos look really good. Will have to save away my pennies for a package. Thanks Lisa, Bianca, and Donna!

I go here often to meet friends for coffee between work. Its a convenient location to meet people with great views of the river. Its typical coffee club menu which is acceptable but nothing special - but I don't go here for the menu its more the convenience. Its also not that busy so its easy to get a table. Had dinner here once in the evening which was a bit of a mistake, lots of better options in the city and the service was slow.

I have bought a few items from Good Guys Mt Gravatt in the past and most recently a JVC Stereo System. Originally looked on the internet for this particular system and it showed they had in stock (they were one of the few that had it). The price on the internet was quite competitive but when I got to the store the ticketed price was actually higher! I asked them what the 'less for cash' price was and after checking the computer the salesman gave me the same price as the internet. I ended up buying it and have no problems with the service, but a bit disappointed that their promotion of 'less for cash' is a bit misleading as their ticketed price in the store is higher than what they advertise on the internet anyway. I would have been annoyed if I bought it at that price only to find out later on the internet it is advertised cheaper by the same store.

Went here for yum cha on a Sunday with friends. This place is well renowned in the Chinese community in Brisbane as 'the' yum cha restuarant, and hence being absolutely packed on any weekend. Expect a long wait (1/2 hour is not unusual) to get a table.

To be honest, the food is okay but its nothing spectacular. Its more of a cultural experience ordering from trolleys and waiting in line (visit a popular restuarant in Hong Kong on a weekend and its the same wait!). Their BBQ pork buns are nice though ;)

We enjoyed a nice chat and the experience. The atmosphere is noisy and bustling, which is hand in hand with the rather ordinary service. Its one of those places on the list to 'try' but keep in mind the above!

I use the website all the time for every accommodation booking I make overseas. I remember my first stay in Paris at a cheap hotel prior to using Tripadvisor and it was a nightmare, and it was then that I found out about Tripadvisor after googling that hotel and finding out that Tripadvisor already had comments about the hotel's 'dirty bed sheets' and 'scary location' - wish I knew earlier!

Since then I have used it religiously, however, I would recommend taking people's comments with a 'grain of salt' as I've noticed some people can be abnormally fussy or just have a one off bad experience. Usually I would read quite a number of the reviews for a hotel to get the gyst of a general theme (eg. noisy location, old building). Its also useful to see the hotel's responses to the various comments as it gives you an idea of the attitude of management to customer concerns.

I also like to look at newer reviews as the management/owners may have changed since or the hotel may be newly renovated.

Their online quotations with the various booking sites is a bit hit and miss because they just have too many, I tend to just stick to the ones I've used before such as expedia and hotels.com. The prices rarely vary between those sites.
