This review is for Top Gun Paint And Panel, Warilla NSW

went there to get a spot of rust removed from the door.
was recommended by my father to go there.
they had the car for one day only, they able to do it on a saturday which was perfect (because of work)
i was very impressed with the work they did as they had to take the door off strip the whole door of paintwork (its an unsual bluey-green) and redo the whole door as simply patching it up would be noticeable as the colour is too dark.
they also painted the front bumper over where i had dinged the paint and exposed the plastic at no extra charge.
i was very impressed with cost and quality of the work i took my car back to get fish piled.

even though they are a massive chain store i like this particular branch the best their coffees are consistently good and you know what to expect- not hit and miss- like some other places
i love the spinach and cheese rolls and often have caramel sauce and sprinkles with my coffee
the service is friendly and even though they get very busy with a long line sometimes they seem to get through the orders quite quickly
i like the choice of take-home coffee beans you can purchase to take home and do your own baristaring!
the cafe itself is always very clean

beautiful vineyard rustic shack for cellar door
very welcoming staff
wide range of wines to taste my favourite being the late harvest sweet white
accomodation on an expensive country property
winemakers cottage is 2 bedroom, self contained kitchen,open fire place with linen and breakfast basket supplied.
ots a little pricey but perfect for a weekend of romance!
this winery is fairly close to town as well
they also sell traditional aborignal art

a must for charcoal chicken! it's juicy, tender stuffing is sensational mouth watering stuff great value for your money as well. a large chicken actually is a large chicken-not quail size like some of the supermarket chickens
they offer salads, deserts, finger foods, hot dishes like schnitzel, pasta, cream potatoes (my favourite)
they cater for all size bfunctions and deliver free
open early 8am close late 8.30

Approximate cost: $13

i frequent the club about 1-2 times a month
i'm not so keen on the seaview chinese restaurant but i love the cafe they have also on the premises.
it everything from pies to open grill focacia and pizza as well as making a mean coffee!
the have a more al-acarte dining upstairs in the emeralds restaurant, which i'm yet to visit.
i love the live entertainment on friday and saturday nights
and the club has courtesy buses and security all the time
it also has a reasonably priced gym and bottle shop, funtion rooms, travel centre.
they have large indoor lawn bowlong facility as well as outdoor greens
a great view of little lake and accomadtion close to the site should you require this.
the staff and managed are always on the ball and they take responsible service of alcohol very seriously which makes them a very safe and pleasant venue.

i had never been into this particular jewllery store before as it had always looked abit expensive when i looked throuh the window however one day the had a 50% sale so i thought "what the hell?" and went in.
beautifully presented layout, bright lighting everything was sparkling clean including counter to see what prices the charms were for my charm braclet.
i went to sterling silver charms area and having acknowledged my presence and given me a chance to browse the well groomed salesman swanned over and offered some assistance, i asked what the price was of the charm i was interested in and agreed to purchase it "is there another charm you'd like the look of, while they are 1/2 price you get 2 for price of 1" I agreed that yes this did represent exceptional value and left the store with 2 charms and a smile on my face.
that gentleman delivered exactly they service i deliver myself-not to pushy, genuine, makes you feel special no matter how small your purchase was.

Approximate cost: $10

a modern and contempary atomsphere
well thought out layout of tables
great lighting
fantastic food and service.
i like to feel special when i go out for a meal and this restaurant in my experience delivers in that area.
the menu offers a vast array of traditional-homestyle italian food and woodfired pizzas as well as gelato and espresso coffee
they are licensed restaurant and offer an unique variety of italian-style beers and wine
service is exceptional the staff attentive and friendly
it is a little more expensive with main meals around the$23 mark, but still represents good value for money.
food is melt-in-your-mouth-delicious which is why i'll be going back there

Approximate cost: $23

This review is for Sams Pizza Restaurant, Warilla NSW

verified email - 29 Jul 2009

i have been a customer of this business for about 7 years now.
they recently moved premises and while i like the larger more modern contempary restaurant i feel its lost some of its atomsphere and cosiness of then smaller one with the white and red check tableclothes and fairy lights.
also at then re-launch the experience i had with the new younger, less attentive waitstaff was not so great.
However i can't resist their special europe pizza-so i keep returning and have found the service much, much better.
it still gets packed out so if you want to dine friday and saturday nights i suggest making a booking.
we normally go weekdays as it's abit noisy on weekends with large groups etc.
and i prefer cosy intimate dining.
this would have to be my favourite pizza restaurant in the illawarra.
they are closed tuesdays.

This review is for Wally's Panel & Paint, Warilla NSW

had to put car in for repairs through insurance- was reccimed to wally through a friend
had no idea how to do it- they walked me through the process and displayed proffessionalism and patience when doing so
they were flexible as i worked 8-6 everyday- allowed me to pickn up drop off early and late
was disappointed i was without my car for 3 days- they didnt offer a courtesy car (maybe i was on my p plates or you have to ask for it?)
the job was exceptionally well done.
car looked new when i got it back.
i will go back and get my rust removed from them.

Approximate cost: $0

i am a regular shopper at this business and regualary get good bargains.
on this occasion i was looking for cheap good quality art and craft supplies-found black paint which was sold out everywhere else i went. they also have large range of essential oils 3 $10 which is exceptional value. they have a large range of fake flowers, ornaments, homewares (dishes etc.) hardware, beauty and hair supplies as well as party stuff, toys, novelties etc. they do have some cheapy jewelry but i have found this to be quite tacky/flimsy stuff.

Approximate cost: $13.50
