We needed to install curtains throughout our house so visited several suppliers to ask about their curtain supply options. We also searched the internet for online suppliers. We couldn't find anything we were happy with so kept looking. Once we visited Damien Interiors we stopped looking. They offered us options completely different to anything else we were seeing. They gave us suggestions that made sense and had materials and styles in their showroom that we didn't see anywhere else. At no additional cost one of their designers came to our house to discuss our curtain needs. In conversation, without employing him as a designer, he also gave us some tips on how to arrange our furniture which we went ahead with and worked perfectly - we would never have thought of the suggestions he made and they really worked. The curtains we had made up looked so stylish and suited the house completely. The service wasn't cheap but it was still affordable - for the extra money it cost we got so much more out of the service. These guys really do know what they're doing and won't just make up curtains for you but will give you a product you'll love to show your visitors. I can't praise these guys enough.

A great little restaurant. It's got a real family atmosphere to it. We ate here with friends to celebrate a birthday and it was a fantastic location. It's not in a residential area so you can be a little noisy! The food was top quality. Everyone's orders looked great and my pizza tasted fantastic. The service is fast but the food preparation isn't rushed - everything was presented well and tasted fresh. Prices are very fair - you don't have to spend a fortune here. Plenty of parking around so that's never a problem. On the main highway so easy to find.

If you want to eat here on a weekend you better book - they fill up quickly. This is an authentic Italian restaurant. They serve dishes other than pizza but I just can't resist their pizzas so have only tried them plus salads and entrees. I can never fit dessert in as their meals are very decent sizes. Their salads are always made of the freshest ingredients and taste great. There are several types of pizzas to choose from and I've tried several - all of them as good as the other. The restaurant is small inside but they have an outside area as well which is quite comfortable. Great place for birthdays and other celebrations as well.

This review is for Gwynneville Original Fish & Chips, Gwynneville NSW

This little shop cooks up a fantastic fish and chips. Not greasy but just tasty and cooked perfectly. The location is great as you can always get a car park nearby, and you can eat the meal in the park across the road. Prices are reasonable and the sizes of meals is very generous.

Not only do you get great fish and seafood products here, but the advice on cooking it is also fantastic. The owners eat their products daily and can advise you on everything they sell. The service is also great - always with a smile. The prices are not cheap, but what you'd expect to pay for a good product. Always fresh produce here.

This review is for John Halpin Optometrist, Caringbah NSW

You can get a prescription filled and your eyes tested but it's not a great experience. The optometrist is not that friendly and seems to rush you through the appointment. I wanted a copy of my prescription but was refused - wasn't given a reason why. There are better options out there.

This review is for Best Kitchens, Wollongong NSW

The designer at Best Kitchens is definitely able to think outside the square. We struggled for ages trying to come up with the best design using numerous magazines as inspiration, yet she managed to come up with a design which was the perfect solution for our tiny space but we just didn't see it. When it came to building the kitchen the workmanship was spot-on. Everything went in as it should and was finished perfectly. The cost was also very reasonable. They have a good showroom with many examples, however some of their show-kitchens probably need updating soon. We're very happy with their service and the result.

This review is for Plumb & Plumber, Thirroul NSW

verified email - 29 Oct 2010

Recommended by our kitchen manufacturer - we were extremely pleased with the recommendation. Service was fast but of the highest quality. No mess left, no damage done. Very nice guy but also very professional. Had one plumber who chatted for a couple of hours without working and charged us for the chat! Not this guy - pleasant but also knows how to get the job done. No problems whatsoever with the workmanship. Would definitely recommend.

This review is for Dorrine Fong Optometrist, Caringbah NSW

Dorrine is an amazing optometrist. She takes the best care possible when testing your eyes and doesn't leave anything out. I visited several optometrists before finding Dorrine as I simply could not get a satisfactory prescription from the others. Dorrine listened to my concerned and gave me a prescription I was more than happy with. She provides a full service and gives your eyes a complete once-over. Her frames are a little expensive but it's because they are of the best quality and many are higher-end brand names. I wouldn't go to anyone else now.

This review is for Coffee Guru, Corrimal NSW

verified email - 29 Oct 2010

This is located perfectly. It's convenient to get that coffee break before continuing with the shopping. The coffee really is great although it's hard to find a bad coffee these days. But their selection of cakes is what brings me back. They taste wonderful and have a wide selection. I haven't tried much in the way of their savoury dishes but when served to other customers the food always looks very appetising (I just have a super sweet tooth!). Service is fast and friendly every time.
