Long time patients here, and very happy with them. Great experiences with medical staff, and reception staff are always courteous and helpful. I see Drs Johnston or Wong, currently Dr Wong mostly, and find both of them to be good listeners and pretty well spot on with their diagnoses. I have seen other GPs here as well, and have been happy with all.

Top seniors meals. Excellent menu, quality and value. Dining room is large, clean and comfortable. Staff with one or two exceptions let the place down though. Some seem disinterested and distracted, not friendly.

Family run small restaurant. Not a lot of room, but we've always been able to get in; bookings certainly would help. Staff and food are wonderful, and things happen promptly. We've often been for lunch, and workers from local businesses with limited lunch breaks need to be served quickly, and are. Open for dinner as well, but we've been mostly for lunch. Luscious food, happy staff and quick service.

Since this venue specialises in hamburgers, we expected better. The burgers were definitely disappointing. Beef patties were small, overcooked and dry; bun was also dry, chips warm. The staff were smiling and pleasant, but the food was slow to arrive and poor.

Approximate cost: $18

Been coming here since it opened, many years ago now. Not often, but regularly. We've never been unhappy; big serves, a smile and a bit of friendly banter. I'm a potato cake addict, and these are as good as I've had anywhere.

Food and service both very good; decor basic, which is fine by me. The night my wife and I were there, a few people had to wait, I guess due to not booking, which confirms what other reviewers have mentioned. It does get busy! The waitress was most helpful, offering to suggest dishes. Although we have had quite a few Malaysian meals, we were happy to accept her offer, and it worked very well. Just wished we had added rice, but that was our mistake. We tried two Malaysian desserts, black sticky rice and coconut ice cream. Surprised myself by enjoying both, as I'm not much of a dessert person. Especially loved the chunks of coconut in the ice cream. I'm keen to get back soon.

We have been weekly customers here now for perhaps two years, and just love it. We are Seniors customers at this venue, so can't speak about the full menu. We are always greeted with smiling recognition and the meals are consistently very good, quick to arrive, and come with a smile. Great value.

Eaten here occasionally over the years, not more often because it just doesn't inspire. The food is really nice, but the vibe is not so good. Would also like to see more attention to glassware, etc. Tending to a little tacky. Last time we were the only occupied table for most of the evening; eventually one other couple came in soon before we left.

Approximate cost: $25

Eaten here now eight to ten times (my wife and myself), and have been thrilled each time. Table service is prompt and smiling; food comes quickly, and it all tastes so fresh! Lovely blend of dishes, with staff very ready to advise and assist.

Approximate cost: $20

Long time customers, we love the food and table staff, but the kitchen seems disorganised. Food quality and prices excellent, but two hours to get mains is terrible, and it's happened more than once. Tables are supplied out of sequence and priority is given to take away customers.

Approximate cost: $20
