This review is for Tony And Mark's Fruit And Veg, Newton SA

verified email - 23 Jul 2010

I used to buy all my fruit and veg from chain supermarkets but then I discovered Tony and Mark's. Now I find that my family is healthier because the fruit and veg is fresher and it lasts longer. And Tony and Mark's doesn't just sell fruit and veg but they also sell gourmet sauces, dips, biscuits, yoghurts, cheeses, meats, dairy and fresh flowers. I brought my husband there and he loved it (even though he normally hates grocery shopping)!

This review is for Chef Lai, Firle SA

My family have been coming here for years and I can honestly say that for Chinese takeaway, it doesn't get much better than Chef Lai. The schezuan steak is especially delicious and my personal favourite but they also have delicious oyster omelette, and pork ribs. Definitely a delicious treat!

Fantastic authentic Asian food for a reasonable price right in the heart of the city.
We have been coming to Ming's Palace for years! Their food is delicious and their prices are reasonable. I was so impressed with them that I had my wedding rehearsal dinner there for 120 people. Everyone walked away very full and very happy. The food was exquisite and some people were so impressed that they went and booked the restaurant for their wedding reception too.

Choosing a reception place for your wedding is very daunting, especially after visiting venue after venue but Sfera's was so great! They sat us down to discuss what package and went above and beyond to make sure the night ran smoothly. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and professional. Everyone said how amazing the venue was. It all looked stunning. They even provided a limo to our hotel and put us up at the Sebel Playford as part of the package for our wedding night. And they gave us a superb bottle of champagne to drink in the limo. They literally thought of everything. Thank you Sfera's for making our day extra special!

This review is for The Woodman's Cottage, Littlehampton SA

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights between our wedding and leaving for our honeymoon and it was the most relaxing place to unwind for the business of the wedding. It was sooooo romantic! Such a quaint little cottage with an open fire and the food and extras (port and chocolates and freshly baked bread daily) just made the experience perfect. Was a little pricey but with this place, you pay for what you get - and what you get is a heavenly retreat in the beauty of the Adelaide Hills.

Approximate cost: $200 per night

Wonderful little gourmet food store with wonderful service. We were considering making chocolate truffles for our bombonnieres for our wedding. They advised us on how to make the truffles, what type of chocolate to use and provided all the things we needed to complete our project. They have a large range of cheeses, chocolates and even provide cooking classes. They supply all types of gourmet food and all products are very high quality.

This review is for Spice Kitchen, Leabrook SA

Spice Kitchen won the award for best Indian Restaurant for 2009 and it's no surprise to anyone who has eaten there. Ragini, the owner and head chef is a friendly and passionate lady who has the ability to make delicious Indian dishes inspired from all different parts of India. The food is not only delicious, but bountiful - the serves are very large and generous. Take special note of the lunchtime specials as well as the monthly cooking classes run by Ragini herself which are great for teaching you how to cook the same Indian dishes at home.

Approximate cost: $12

Large variety of pies, pastries, cakes, slices and biscuits. A great place to stop at for a snack or light lunch. Delicious baked goods at reasonable prices (for the Eastern suburbs).

Approximate cost: $5

This review is for Glynde Veterinary Surgery, Glynde SA

verified email - 10 Jun 2010

Sylvia is a one-woman show. She is the vet and runs the admin as well. She loves animals and has a confidence and experience that only comes from years of working with animals. Her prices are reasonable (unlike most vets) and she is very honest and upfront. We have tried several vets in the Eastern suburbs of Adelaide but now that we have found Glynde Veterinary Surgery, we can stop looking.

This review is for Cosmetic Laser Solutions, North Adelaide SA

verified email - 10 Jun 2010

I went to several consultations before I found Cosmetic Laser Solutions and I was so glad that I found them. They are very professional and are very upfront in talking you through especially if it's your first time. I was unsure about lots of the procedures for laser but they provide thorough background information - both pros and cons so that you have all the facts. They are very honest and upfront and made me feel extremely comfortable. They were also much more reasonably priced than the other places I researched.

Approximate cost: $100
