This review is for Chianti Classico, Adelaide SA

It's so notable when you visit an Italian restaurant and get quality Italian cuisine. We'd recently visited Tuscany and became addicted to 'Steak Fiorentina'. Then we heard that it was on Chianti's menu we were there in a flash. The food, ambiance and service were faultless. I wouldn't say the steak wasn't as good as we'd experienced in Tuscany, it was different, and was devoured and enjoyed. Highly recommend you try Chianti.

This review is for Babanusa, Prospect SA

We've been to Babanusa several times and have never had a disappointing meal. The menu is very diverse and caters for most dietary requirements. I do recommend you try the Lamb Shanks, Grilled chicken in peanut sauce or the goat curry. Unfortunately the last couple of times we've been the service has been below par, but the food is so delicious you almost can forgive that.

This review is for Banana Leaf Indian Restaurant, Adelaide SA

We do prefer North Indian cuisine, but friends of ours, from Sri Lankra, recommended we try this. The food was good, service was above average. I think being accustom to North Indian cuisine made us bias, but I did enjoy the lamb byriani. If you want to try the different style of cuisine give it a go.

This review is for ABC Walkerville Chinese Restaurant, Walkerville SA

It's definitely not the best Chinese I've ever had, however we were made to feel welcome, the service was excellent, it's always nice to be treated as a customer, rather than cattle. The food was pretty average and I suppose displaying newspaper articles from 20 years ago shows that very little has been done to diversify the menu or make it a success story to match those articles.

Always have gotten delicious food whenever we've been. The prices are reasonable. There always seems to be a lot of waiting staff wondering around aimlessly, refusing to make eye contact. Highly recommend the Sesame Beef, delicious.

This review is for British Hotel, North Adelaide SA

Unfortunately I had a bad dining experience here. The we ate in the bar and the waitress who I placed the order with got my order wrong. A different waitress who brought the order out showed little sympathy and had a determined 'tough' luck attitude. The other waitress did come over to apologise, but the damage had been done.

This review is for The Daniel O'Connell Hotel, North Adelaide SA

We ate in the restaurant and had a pleasant dining experience. The food isn't too badly priced. Not exceptional, but by no means disappointing. I'm not sure whether it was good or just better than I was expecting. Good selection of beers.

This review is for Pet Universe Veterinary Centre, Broadview SA

verified email - 30 Mar 2013

Most of the vets we've dealer with are very attentive and compassionate. I'm a complete wuss if there's anything ever wrong with our dog, I'm very precious about her, and they seem to pick up on this and are always quick to put my mind at ease. They are very helpful with any insurance claims and get the paperwork back to you promptly. As with any vet the prices are a bit steep, but at the end of the day it's a necessity.

This review is for Lakeside Cafe, Oakden SA

Excellent location for a cafe, always a treat to sit outside and enjoy the view. The food and drink are good quality, not too pricey. They offer a coffee loyalty card, which is always good. Service is always good, staff usually are attentive and make you welcome.

This review is for Collinswood Pizza & Pasta, Collinswood SA

Pizza is probably the best in the area, not exceptional but never really disappoints. They're never overloaded with cheese and usually pretty generous with the toppings. Prices are reasonable and usually get a quick turnaround.

Approximate cost: $12
