Spacious garden to wander through. Many mature plants, water features & detailed garden ornaments. Plants for sale. Teahouse provides a lunch menu of reasonable standard & cost.

Nursery plants, mature plants & garden ornaments are very expensive though. Worth the visit for a luncheon or a cup of coffee & wander the grounds. A pleasant atmosphere.

My wife & I attended this restaurant tonight & it was an absolute disaster. The waitress obviously had no idea & appeared to be completely inexperienced.

Firstly, I particularly asked about an entree dish & was assured by the waitress I would be served what I requested. I received nothing like I had requested & had to return it to the kitchen. I ended up not having an entree.

I am allergic to capsicum so we asked the waitress to ensure no capsicum was included in both our main meals. Both these meals turned up with a liberal garnish of sliced capsicum across the food.

I had fish of the day. It was a bland piece of fish, very soft & mushy with a poorly prepared batter. Not impressed. The wife had soup of the day as an entree & she enjoyed that. She had garlic prawns for the main meal & rated that dish as a 5/10. The prawns were very small & nothing like we have been served at other restaurants.

We were charged $5.00 per head corkage for the use of two wine glasses. We were not provided ice or a wine bucket.

We would not return to that restaurant again - even if provided with a free meal.

This appraisal may sound severe but it is the honest truth as to a description of our outing.

Never again!

Approximate cost: $32.00

This review is for Police & Nurses Credit Society, Perth WA

I have been a member of the credit society for a period of about 40 years. Joined when it was just the Police Credit Union. It appears they are trying to become too big & as a result their service standards are dropping off. Over the past few months I have had three bad transactions. One, due to an error by the society, I was deducted totals of money, from my account as penalties for my alleged wrong doings. No notice, no phone call, no e-mail just money deducted from my account. I complained & the society spokesperson admitted they were at fault, apologised & refunded the money.

I have had a couple of bad experiences in the past year, as well, but put that down to bad luck. It appears it is more bad service than bad luck.

An absolute shocker! My wife & I dined at this restaurant & the fish I had dished up to me was off. I ate some of it but soon became aware that all was not well, by the taste & smell of the fish cutlets I had.
I complained to staff & I then spoke to the female manager. She argued that my meal was OK & offered no replacement, refund or discount. We actually became involved in a heated discussion in the restaurant, in front of staff & other customers.
I complained that the fish served was not local, but frozen. In answer to this the manager retalliated by saying that the prawns I had with my meal were local - they came from the Northern territory! If the prawns were local, God knows where the fish came from!
Never again would I even set foot inside their door.

We have dined at this restaurant on a number of occasions & have always enjoyed the experience. In a day & age where imported, thawed out fish is regularly dished up, it is a pleasure to be able to get fresh fish.

We regularly dine at this outlet due to the service & quality provided. We have dined at the two other rival fish restaurants in the area but none come anywhere near this place. I would recommend this diner to anyone - as i know they would enjoy the experience.

This review is for Spendless Shoes, Armadale WA

I recently bought a pair of shoes at this store. I am large & therefore have large feet. I was impressed with the female shop assistant who tended to me. She was very friendly & helpful & went out of her way to assist. Something of a rarity, these days.

The wife & I have been searching the Armadale, & surrounding areas, for a decent fish & chips shop. We have not been satisfied until finding this shop. Both the fish & chips that we have purchased from the shop have been very good. I would happily recommend this fish & chips shop.
