Was here for a wedding over the weekend. Nice enough venue but if the wedding is out on the lawn (like ours was), and it's a 30+ degree day, there is no shade. Having to stand out there for at least an hour and a half it was horrible. Once we were inside the venue for the dinner, I could not fault the dinner and the service. Amazing to serve up 150 dinners where the steak was perfectly cooked for anyone I spoke to and the snapper I had was delicious. I cannot fault the catering. Very fine cuisine.

WOW!!!! All pubs and motels should take a note out of their book. Talk about service. We were in the Barossa for a wedding and were at this venue 3x nights in a row. I cannot fail this place on anything. Right from the get go, the reception lady was welcoming and friendly, the rooms were very clean, comfy and accommodating, the dinner and breakfast meal I had were to die for. So flavoursome and delicious. But most of all, the bar staff were so friendly and accommodating. They played the music we asked for and kept the bar open for as long as we were there stating 'we were their guests'. I mean, I've never heard of this kind of service - I was truly impressed. It was about 4am when we finished up the night of the wedding - we were all drunk, loud and jovial and those bar staff just served us with a smile. Honestly, best place ever. Nothing was a problem to any staff member I encountered. Book them, you will not be disappointed.

A great small-medium sized nursery that caters for all your gardening needs. The herb options were a bit pitiful but I did get a lovely array of house plants. Service is pretty good and they helped me put my large bag of soil in the boot.

Saturday morning - popped in for a coffee to find they sell my fav brand Di Bella - winning! Interior is smallish and unassuming but it was busy and that's what matters right?! I noticed lots of guys (dare I say hipsters) eating here so I'm thinking they do a great breakfast menu. Anyway, enough of the guys... errrhmmm. My coffee was perfect. The wait wasn't too long and the service was friendly. Their menu looked amazing and reasonably priced and... they deliver for $16 to New Farm and Fortitude.

Can only review my quick pop-in for a house plant. Layout of the shop and yard is cool. Feels really country like. Plenty of parking. They seem to offer gardening services/products, animal/pet services/products and a whole lot more country stuff out the back.

What a wonderful small to medium size, theatre style venue to see one of your favourite bands. We saw Rufus here in 2014 and it was amazing. The acoustics were excellent and the bar service are was really big. There were also a couple of bar options so you didn't have to push through revelers to get from one side to the other. I am local so not sure about parking. A walk away from Fortitude Valley where all the night life is.

Was a Saturday evening. We had to queue at least 10 people long. I was amazed. This says to me it is a popular place. I had the kiwi sobet and it was yummy. Full of flavour and not too sweet. Prices were reasonable for an evening treat. Nothing like it nearby so if you happen to be restauranting in the area, save some room for desert here.

The Barramundi and its accompaniments was divine. Perfectly cooked and a good size fillet. Could not fault the food. The bar downstairs was busy and full of the executive types. The restaurant upstairs had a live pianest but we were stuck up against a wall that blocked our view. I found the atmosphere in the restaurant severly let them down. They need to take a serious look at their interior design. The framework for a cool NY loft style look is there but chairs hooked up on the walls???? seriously? they were the same chairs that we sat on so it was obviously to save space - FAIL

I got ripped off and was left with a car the was still not fixed. I was too scared to take it back to them cos of their nastiness. These guys at Midas were amazing and I wish I had gone to them first. SINGLE LADIES - do not be put off by the fact this is a chain-company. Please use them. They were up-front about costs etc and explained issues etc. I really felt they had my interest at heart. Marcus is super knowledgeable and full of information. Do not be afraid to ask questions. The icing on the cake was that they dropped me off and picked me up for work. Thank again guys!
