This review is for El Dorado's Steakhouse, Dickson ACT

verified email - 19 Aug 2013

The food here is fairly reasonably priced for a steakhouse and they provide a wide variety of options in the menu. The quality of the food is high and it is very tasty. Drinks are also reasonably priced. The service is different here. You go up to the counter to order rather then a waiter coming over to the table to take the order. I personally like this method as it gives me time to actually think about what I'd like, rather than having a waiter coming over and putting the feeling of time pressure on the table to just order something. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but a very good experience dining here.

This review is for Hog's Breath Cafe, Canberra ACT

Although I myself not being a big fan of their steaks (as when I have ordered them they have come out cold) the burgers and other meal options here are just amazing. Although Hogs Breath can be on the more expensive side of dining the burgers are definitely value for money. The cocktails here are also delicious. Although they're around $13 a drink, they're definitely worth it for that splurge night out.

This review is for Flight Centre, Canberra ACT

The service here was great, as in they were very attentive and friendly. The actual service they provided was terrible though. They were overpriced and obviously trying to sell us flights that were much more expensive than they needed to be. We found better priced flights on our own. They tried to tell us that the comparison prices we brought in were wrong. We ended up getting those flights that they told us were "wrong". As experienced travelers, this really wasn't appreciated.

This review is for Au Lac, Dickson ACT

The actual restaurant itself is so lovely. The colours and lights they use provide a good atmosphere. The meals were good, even enjoyable as a non vegetarian. You can tell that it's not made from meat as it does have that funny flavor but the flavours they use to cook it are delicious. The service wasn't that great. They were either very pushy or very inattentive but I would definitely go back.

This review is for Pho Phu Quoc, Dickson ACT

verified email - 19 Aug 2013

The service here is so friendly and the food arrived very quickly as well as it being a very generous portion. Their Pho is extremely delicious and difficult to finish with the amount they give you. Their shakes are delicious and they also have a vegetarian selection. Definite value for money when dining here.

This review is for Evatt Dental Care, Evatt ACT

Now I'm not sure who I saw at this clinic but I will definitely not be going back. I decided to change dentists and tried Evatt Dental Care. Not only was the whole process extremely painful, my mouth was in pain for at least a week after the appointment. Something that has NEVER happened before. It was one of the most uncomfortable experiences.

This review is for Cafe Ritrovo, Belconnen ACT

verified email - 19 Aug 2013

This café (located next to Coles in Westfield Belconnen) sells some of the most tasty milkshakes I've ever had. Although they're not something I drink often their strawberry milkshakes are to die for. They also offer a good variety of snacks and meals which are all reasonably priced for the servings. I did have a bad experience with buttermilk pancakes there - the pancakes were firmer then desired but overall they're pretty fantastic at what they do.

This review is for Beyond The Cutting Line, Melba ACT

The service is great here, the staff are very friendly. Its has very convenient open hours as well. They do a good haircut but I went it to get my hair dyed and the colour wouldn't stay in my hair. When I was unhappy with the finished result I was still charged to get it fixed a week later. I understand that they're a business and need to get buy but I could have done a better/cheaper job myself.

This review is for Evatt Bakery, Evatt ACT

verified email - 19 Aug 2013

Although the items you'd expect to find at a bakery are good (pies, sausage rolls, finger buns etc), in their pastries such as the apple turnover I find that it doesn't taste fresh. The pastry almost feels stale, the cream doesn't always seem like its homemade and there is never much apple filling in it. Sometimes it's the little things that count and this definitely isn't my go to place

This review is for Spence Family Bakery, Spence ACT

verified email - 19 Aug 2013

The staff are so friendly which just makes me always want to go back to them. Their bread is always fresh and their pastries and savory options are some of the best I've found in Canberra. They use real cream in their products and you can taste that they're freshly baked. Very good variety

Approximate cost: $1-5
