I visited the dentist here earlier in the year for a routine check up. The dentist was 30 minutes late, I appreciate this happens but I had to ask reception how late they were running no one kept me informed. Once in the chair I found the way the dentist spoke to her assistant very dismissive and didn't make me feel at ease. I mentioned a slight tooth ache and before I knew it or had given permission my gum was numbed and a filling was being put in. $500 later for a check up & one filling I left feeling very disappointed and upset by my experience. Leaving with a quote I found flights back home to the UK and had a four week holiday for the same cost. My UK dentist said none of the six fillings I was quoted for were needed at all. I won;t be returning to Dentarana that's for sure!

This review is for Q1 Resort & Spa, Surfers Paradise QLD

Had a great weekend at Q1, shame we didn't have longer to make the most of the spa too but the weather was too glorious to be inside! One bed apartment was really spacious, clean & kitted out with everything needed. 20th floor gave great views and despite it being last weekend of NSW schoolies there was no nasty surprises! Handy 10min walk into surfers and close to the beach. One big down side was the smell of the bin chute as soon as you step out of the lift or the apartment door.
Would definitely visit again!

Lovely coffee spot served from a hatch in the side of the Judith Wright centre. Coffee is well made at good strength, I found my milk was a little too hot, but still tasted fine. Good selection of dairy free milks, cakes & savoury snacks too. Luke the barista is really friendly and helpful on local knowledge! We will be back!

Had to use Bernie of plumbers we are in a emergency out of hours job. He was there quickly, managed to diagnose the issue quickly and all was fixed and cleared up within a couple of hours. Reasonably priced even for a call out job would highly recommend Plumbers we are!

This review is for A Thai 5, Mitchelton QLD

Just had my first meal as a takeaway & it was lovely! Just annoyed I've only just tried it after two years of living in Mitchelton! Just the right amount of spice, tender meat and plenty sauce. I would of liked more veg in my curry but no complaints about the food I did get.

These guys are great! Used them on several occasions for everything from phone batteries to car batteries, the fact they offer a 24/7 call out service is great to know too.
Service with a smile every time and they take time to really explain the technical stuff in simple terms too.

This review is for Aches & Pains Family Practice Medical Centre, Ferny Grove QLD

Had some good & some not so good experiences here. Dr Shan is lovely but when i have seen another Dr in her place they seem very disinterested in treatment and history. The surgery is always clean & tidy and appointments are easy to make. personally I dont like being called "hun" by receptionists but you can't deny they aren't friendly!

This review is for The Chop Shop, Keperra QLD

The boy's here give great service, always with a smile! I had a spot roast party last year & they were great with advice on cuts & size of meat to order, I fed 30 people for less than $100! They will also special order if its something they don't normally stock.
Meat is always nice and fresh and well priced, whats not to love?!

This review is for El Taco Mexican Restaurant, Mitchelton QLD

Service is awful, food lacks in taste & flavor and is pretty much what you could make out of a el del paso kit! Service is awful, the last time we visited we had to tell them we were missing a meal which was then microwaved (piping hot round the edge & stone cold middle) before being delivered to the table.
A shame as it used to be a great local haunt for great food, what happened??
