we had our carpets dry cleaned with this company and the job was as expected. they did refresh the carpets however some stains we had specifically asked for removal were not really addressed so we were a little disappointed with the quality. the service of the cleaner was excellent very friendly and professional. was not too expensive for the whole unit and overall a pretty decent job. just let down by not completely removing all stains

for the opening of this shop they offered a $2 coffee and sweet to go with. i chose the baklava sweet and i have to say they were delicious. the coffee was pretty good to but the service was oh so slow and not the friendliest. shame really coz the location and the prices would make this a regular haunt for me if it werent for the lacking service

this is a brand new cafe in the newly opened top ryde city shopping centre. a very cute little setup with some tables and fantastic selection of cakes and nibbles to have with coffee. the coffee is really great but best of all was the brilliant service

fantastic array of chocolates and coffee/hot chocolate. the cost of these considering the quality i thought was excellent and i loved the feeling of the place. the service was the only let down. felt rushed and not very friendly

nice restaurant for a hearty blue mountains meal after a long drive from sydney however i found the portions rather small considering the cost so not really the haert meal i was expecting. the service was in fact excellent and the quality of the food was great just wish there was more on a plate ..

This review is for Vulcans, Blackheath NSW

vulcans is set in a an old bakery with the original oven still in place. it has seen better days than recent as it used to be one of the best restaurants in the blue mountains but i feel it has slipped down a lot lately. the service was pretty rude. the corkage is a ridculous $4 per person and the place is so noisy i left with a headache. overall the experience was average for a place that claims to have 1 hat. food is good but little comfort considering all else.byo

Approximate cost: $35

This review is for Joes Cafe, Potts Point NSW

joes cafe has been around for a long time. it is a good place to go when not much else is open as it is almost always open for coffee and cake. i have been a few times when all else is closed and i have a friend in town for a catch up. the cakes are ok but sometimes a little stale . the coffee is good enough although nothing amazing. nice vibe and cute cosy decor

This review is for Mantra Indian Restaurant, Ryde NSW

verified email - 05 Nov 2009

mantra is a very authentic Indian restaurant. the decor is full on but really very cute with silks that hang and lots of ornate decorations everywhere.the food is very delicious and the service when we ate was really wonderful. i had butter chicken and rogan josh but they are not your typical expectation by far. little steels bowls come out with fresh poppadoms that all don't disappoint. the only thing that does get you is the cost and i was still a bit hungry when i left

Approximate cost: $15-25

a fantastic spot to come for breakfast or a la carte lunch . i just love the setting here right on the beach with seashore styling. very open aired and very friendly service. i personally love the blueberry pancakes for brekky although i have had a bday party there for lunch and the meal and service was spectacular. no complaints here except maybe the prices ouchies!!!

this is an establishment that has been going strong for many years. i used to work across the rd and eat here regularly. the food is always excellent and one of the best places for cocktails. great service and great times here but not cheap
