Had a coffee at Urban Chill. The mocha was a great quality but there was too much of it. I chose not to drink it all but would prefer not to waste good coffee!

Overall the service and value were great also.

This review is for Domino's Pizza, Tranmere SA

We've had pizza from here many times. The food is usually very good for take away chain pizza and the service has been great using the 'Pizza Tracker' online.

Dominos have a good selection of pizzas and if you sign up for their newsletter online you can get some cheap deals on pickup/delivery of pizza every so often.

Approximate cost: $5-$15

This review is for Fire & Stone Pizza, Firle SA

Fire and Stone make excellent pizzas. We've been here a few times and had some seriously good food.

The quality and service are excellent but it can be a bit pricey. The decor is quite nice too but I've only ever had take away from here.

Approximate cost: $15-$25

This review is for The Glynde Hotel, Glynde SA

The Glynde Hotel is a bit of an old man pub but it has recently had some upgrades and the food has always been decent. They have good deals on burgers + beer for the fellas in the Sports Bar and have pool tables to play at also.

Approximate cost: $15-$25

This review is for Coco Rose Hair And Beauty, Hectorville SA

verified email - 19 Apr 2013

I've been to Coco Rose a few times and had fairly good hair cuts. The time taken to do the cut is quite a bit, and if I weren't close I'd be unhappy with that.

The service is generally good but for the $30 I payed I could easily find somewhere better, and have now.

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for Bread Garden, Glynde SA

This Korean bakery is a gem that more people need to find out about. It's essentially just a bakery but you can order coffee and other drinks and sit at a table also.

Overall, the food is excellent and the price is great.

This review is for Automotive Technix, Para Hills West SA

Jarred is an excellent mechanic. His knowledge and skills are very clear when you speak to him and his understanding of a range of different cars is excellent.

He quickly came up with quotes for different parts that were needed for my car and gave me the best price on labour that I could find. He finished the car very quickly and well within the time we had agreed on.

I had both a 210,000km service done ($150) and had multiple important parts fixed/replaced. I would recommend Automotive Technix to anyone needing a service or mechanic for any purpose.

Approximate cost: $150

Had my mother's birthday here earlier this year.

The service was mostly very good. The food was of excellent quality and the value of $25 per meal was well worth it.

Approximate cost: $23-$30

This review is for ICA Sportzworx Stepney, Stepney SA

verified email - 19 Apr 2013

I have been playing at Stepney for many years now. When we started, everything ran smoothly. People came, played, payed and there were more than enough players to have fair, evenly matched games.

At present, things are getting better after a big dip in the quality of everything Stepney had to offer. The courts have been upgraded and there is a different payment system that makes the players responsible so that the owners don't need to chase up people about payments. This is a good thing for the most part and I hope it continues and works well.

There were massive issues with the timing of games previously, which now seem to have levelled out a lot and things seem more regular and fine. They are also now providing coloured tops for players who fill in for others.

There has always been an issue with umpires here. There are at least a couple that have a serious amount of disdain for anyone who takes issue with calls on the court. I don't expect any of them to take flack that's horribly rude (which does happen often), but I really cannot stand being treated horribly for no good reason. Similarly, if you bring an issue that is consistently happening in games, the couple of umpires I was referring to would likely then just target you for calls and tell you to go away and let them work.

I am hopeful that the quality of the venue will continue to grow - but until it does it gets the ratings it deserves.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Eros Cafe, Adelaide SA

My wife and I dined at Eros Cafe for a date. Initially, someone quickly came to seat us and take a drink order - which is great. From then on, the service was well below par. It took 30 minutes to receive that first drink.

By this time, we were more than ready to order. We did so, and then our food came relatively quickly - great. Unfortunately, the food was wrong - one of the mezze dishes was completely incorrect. They gladly took it away without fuss and replaced it within 10 or so minutes.

At the time when we received the first dishes, we asked for the wine list. This never came. We finally waved someone down to ask them for it again and it was delivered. Then, we were left for another 30 minutes, by which time we'd eaten most of our food and had no drink. When we were able to flag someone down again, someone from outside distracted the person from getting to the counter, to complain to them that they hadn't had anyone come out to ask them if they wanted anything for an hour. Finally, I waved down what seemed to be the manager and told him we were very disappointed and he got us the wine quick smart and also offered us free coffee for our trouble.

Overall, the food was excellent, but the service wasn't great. The value overall was definitely affected by the service, and wasn't worth the 15 or so dollars per mezze.

Approximate cost: $28-$32
