This review is for Top Of The World Revolving Restaurant, Glenelg SA

verified email - 21 Dec 2009

The food is good, but it took a while to receive it. Plates and glass-wear completely covered the bar counters and it was still there after a second 'revolve'. The restaurant setting is romantic with sunset views and candlelight settings, but the waitresses seemed 'cheap' with their 'too-relaxed' conversation with the customers. They should have a more reserved personality; be more demur. With this current management, they no longer serve Morton Bay Bugs, which was the whole reason I go there! However, the garlic prawns are very yummy, and if it wasn't for the $36.50 price, I would have had another serving.

Approximate cost: $35.90+

Lovely view of the Torrens River! The food was of very high standard and had it's own uniqueness the the dishes. They offered an oyster shot to us when we were there - very, very strong fishy taste. I'm not a big seafood person, but I would think if you like oysters, you'll like the oyster shot. Personally I'll pass next time. Try the tender beef fillet! They accept Entertainment Book Gold card.

Approximate cost: $27+

The atmosphere seemed a little pompous, but the food was so good!! We ordered three mezze and three mains, and in hindsight could have just ordered four or five mezze to share between three people. The lamb is superb!! Highly recommend the lamb!

I love this place. The 'specials' table always provides entertainment when you see the crazy stuff that didn't sell so well. But a number of times I have found gems. I love the second lot of markdowns, when it becomes 60-80% off. Get ready, because Christmas sales are about to strike, and I'll be there. There always seems to be a new face working there. They are not pushy, but they can be a bit robotic - greet, and say they have other sizes out the back.

This review is for Rubi Shoes, Oaklands Park SA

The people working there are welcoming and happy, and chatty. The shoes look good and are really affordable. The shoe quality, however, fails. Two weeks and they were falling apart. Now, I've heard that shoes are meant to last two seasons/6 months, and I would have been happy with a couple months... not a couple weeks. This is a case of: 'get what you pay for'. But if you only want to wear them a handful of times, then you'd be pretty happy buying here - trendy and inexpensive footwear. They have multibuy deals - I suggest splitting the deal with a friend, instead of buying two pairs of shoes that wont last long. You;d probably be better off going to another shoe store and invest in a better pair of shoes that will last longer.

This little Post Office has everything you need. Even if you the line up goes to the door, the queue moves pretty quickly. The people are friendly, and offer you alternative offers when mailing - such as using prepaid postal satchels. It's a shame prices have gone up a bit, but prices have gone up everywhere. Come here when you have to send off everything you sold on eBay.

I love going to this store - something is always on special. They have quality jewelery, and you can have things ordered, or specially made. The people working there are lovely - not pushy, and they are genuinely friendly. They allow people to 'browse', and this 'freedom' makes me relax, and enjoy shopping, because shopping should be fun and not a chore. 9 out of 10 times I buy jewelery from this store now.

They judge people when you enter, and they are completely phony to people. - My mum and I went here, and I was the one looking for a wedding band for myself, but they zoomed in on my mother - two women, shaking her hand, introducing each other, asking her name. It was too full-on for her, and I was ignored. I was the one who would have spent the money. I think they are superficial and rude.

This review is for Mc Donalds Express, Oaklands Park SA

This place goes to either extreme - really good, or really bad. I ordered a quarter-pounder and received a double quarter-pounder. I have had patties in burgers which have been undercooked. A Big Mac which had next-to-no 'special sauce'. Orders which should have been simple, have taken ages to receive. They don't give out the discount cards anymore.

Approximate cost: $2.95+

This review is for Ang's Coffee & Special Teas, Oaklands Park SA

verified email - 10 Dec 2009

The coffee quality seems to be going downhill lately. Not as strong as it used to be. One waitress was wearing perfume, that went on my take-away cup, and I could taste the perfume. The servers aren't very welcoming, and sometimes it seems like I'm burdening them when ordering. The quiches are nice, but it's the same ones you can get at other cafes around the place.

Approximate cost: $4.90+
