This is a quaint cafe with a unique outdoor seating area featuring lots of fake grass. The service was a little slow, and they forgot to bring my drink out which was disappointing but they were friendly. The food was good value, very filling and quite tasty.

Approximate cost: $20

This place has the BEST icecream! The location is perfect with a small amount of bench seating available inside overlooking the water. The icecream is absolutely delicious! They have about 30 flavours available at any one time, and they change them so there is always something new when you visit. The staff are always friendly as well. This is my favourite treat when in Hobart!

Approximate cost: $7

We had a meal here on a Tuesday night, and got the special which was a roast for $13. It was a bit slow to come out but was excellent value, and a huge plate of food for the price, and fairly decent quality. They also had a free trivia night on which we participated in.

Approximate cost: $15

We visited here for a special dinner the other night for 2, and were able to book online easily on the day.

The service staff were very attentive and friendly. There isn't a huge range on the menu but what is offered is high quality. We both enjoyed our mains and after seeing the dessert platter go past to many other tables we couldn't help but order one! The platter had a little bit of every dessert on offer and I would definitely recommend it for a treat.

We visited here for the first time after spotting it in the entertainment book. When we went in we were pleasantly surprised by the range of choices, with plenty of sushi options and rice bowls. My partner and I ordered a seafood sushi pack, and a deep fried salmon rice bowl to share, and both were delicious. You could tell the sushi was fresh as the rice was very moist. We will definitely be returning as this is great value for money, quick and delicious.

We recently dined here as part of a group of about 15 for a birthday. The service was very attentive and it didn't take very long for the meals to come out despite the restaurant being fairly busy.

The menu was quite big and contained a number of gluten free options including both pizza and pasta choices. My partner and I ordered a pizza and pasta to share between us, and enjoyed both but the seafood pasta was a huge stand out!

I phoned up for a quote for a new windscreen, and it was much lower than I was quoted elsewhere. They could also fit me in the very next day, and come to me! The fitter was on time, friendly and fitted the windscreen perfectly. I am happy with my new windscreen.

We visited here for the first time as we were in the area and it was in the entertainment book. We came to have lunch around 2pm but it was still pretty busy. They are able to do everything on the menu gluten free, and the cabinet is full of gluten free cakes,slices,etc which was amazing.

The staff were very friendly. We ordered one savoury pizza and one dessert pizza and they said we could let them know when we were ready for the dessert to be cooked. The food was a short wait but reasonable considering how many people were there. The food was very nice, and I'd go back just for the Raspberry spritz. It was just a shame we couldn't fit in the fresh berry icecream!

This review is for Hair Maids, Mowbray TAS

This salon is run by Josie who is the owner and only hairdresser. She gets quite busy so you do need to book a little in advance, but she does also offer appointments of an evening.

Josie is really friendly and is a great hairdresser. I have my hair cut here regularly and it always looks great, and I've had foils and colours done here too. The prices here are low but not at the expense of the quality of the service

I visited this restaurant after hearing positive reports and I was happy with my visit. We made a booking and they were busy so we went later than we asked but it is good they are busy. The service was pretty good but the staff didn't communicate well as we had different waiters/waitresses coming over when another had already approached us for the same thing. The meals came very quickly after ordering, were fresh and generous in size. We really enjoyed our meals. It was nice that they came halfway through to ask if we needed more rice or naans etc.

After the meal there was no pressure to leave and we were able to stay seated at our table for as long as we liked. It was about 8:30pm by this point so they had other free tables but it was nice not to feel pressured to leave.

Approximate cost: $25
