I was attracted to this place by their vouchers for a $20 all you can eat buffet in the local paper. They are very friendly, and the menu is extremely wide, owing to their "international cuisine" tag. The meals were nice but not outstanding, but, if you are looking for somewhere new and interesting that isnt just your typical Italian or Asian restaurant, I recommend here.

This place looks as if it will be a exceptional experience. It is beautifully decorated, and nice and airy. The food is a tad on the expensive side for the budget foodie (me), and while the pastas are delicious, the risotto's are not what I expected, and are a tad on the plain side.

Approximate cost: $>$20

A family run business, you get a sense that you are eating in someones house rather than at a restaurant. The food is hearty and home-style, and they pile as much onto a plate as they can. I first tried "spatzle" here, it is a sort of fried garlicy pasta, and very delicious as a side to your meal. They also sell home made rye breads and desserts. Be sure to try the freshly made Blackforest cake made to a traditional Bavarian recipe.

Approximate cost: $18

This place is a great little local restaurant. The dish everyone needs to try is their home made marinated olives. They actually give you the first bowl free, then more bowls are only about $2 each. You can tell the food is home made fresh as well, not packet pasta. Another dish you need to try is their "garlic bread" it is actually a soft pizza base, freshly made, folded in half and stuffed with huge amounts of mozzarella cheese and garlic.

Approximate cost: $From $16 to $30

Excellent service, were very attentive to my needs and spent SIX hours on me, all for under $100!!!! The staff were kind and looked after me, offering me coffee and came to me instead of dragging me all over the salon as in other hairdressers.

Approximate cost: $99

I was surprised how nice the man serving me was. I could not find the item I wanted and he went out of his way to ring up other places for me to see if they had it!
