Was looking for a coffee at half time of a play which was put on in the same building and found this little place. This place offers very good value with an 8oz coffee setting me back only $2.50. The service was fast and the barristers were very friendly. The coffee was also amazing. The setting is laid back and has some good art surrounding it.

Went here for a romantic night out with some fine food and was not disappointed. The atmosphere is good and although on a main road is not to noisy. The waiter was loverly and the service was quick.

I ordered seared eye fillet. The plating was fabulous and the meat well done. They had a limited menu of vegetarian options but apparently the sticky red wine pear salad was good. Although the menu isn't massive the chef has mastered whats on there. You get what you pay for. Would go again.

Approximate cost: $30

Went here with the family for dinner after hearing good things from some friends. The seating is outside but undercover. Its not to fancy but you don't have to get to dressed up to go here.

We ordered three large pizzas for 6 people and that more than covered it. There is a wide range to choose from and the waiter was very helpful answering any questions. The pizzas were good quality and had a number of toppings. They seem to also do take away and that seems very popular.

Approximate cost: $16

This review is for Ritzy Fish, Chelmer QLD

Went here for Friday night fish and chips. We ate in, although the take away option seems popular.

The seating is outdoors undercover. The tables have butchers paper as the table cloth and a bucket of crayons so you can draw on them while you wait for your meal. Which is fun.

The fish and chips were very good quality for a take away joint. The salad that came with them was also fresh and very tasty. Its a bit more expensive then other take away fish and chips available but well worth it.

Approximate cost: $15

Had a casual dinner with the family here. The restaurant is in a new complex on Ave and Graceville has a modern interior. It seems to be a family run business with all the staff being very friendly and welcoming. We had a large group of 9 and we were easily accommodated at one table.

The food is your classic Western Chinese food; spring rolls, prawn chips... However it is done very well and there is a wide range to choose from.

The meal was presented well and came very quickly. The idea is you get a number of dishes and share. Although it's not fine dinning it's a great night out and would go again.

Approximate cost: $15

Went to a friends Birthday dinner here. I have gone to this restaurant before but not since it moved to its new location across the road in the Graceville Five Ways. The interior is beautiful. There is a waterfall and some great art that decorate the walls.

The food was very good. Although you don't get allot its very filling. It was a little spicy for me, but everyone else also loved it. My tip would be to get a few dishes and share. It's a little expensive but for some fine dinning is worth it.

Approximate cost: $18

This review is for Cafe Primavera, Corinda QLD

Had coffee and cake here. The cafe is on the main road in Corinda opposite Subway. The cafe has a modern interior and the furniture is nice and new.

The waiter who took our order was ok however seemed a little impatient. The order took a little while to come and when it did it was wrong. The waiter was happy to change the coffee to soy but this was a little annoying. The coffee was ok and the cake was very good.

However when we went to pay we were a little shocked. The cake was $9.50 a piece. The drinks were a little more reasonable.

Approximate cost: $18

This review is for Ship Inn, South Brisbane QLD

This is a quite bar/ restaurant located near the goodwill bridge at South Bank. The bar has a laid-back atmosphere and nice outdoor seating. The interior has a modern design decorated with art from the neighbouring College of Art. The beer is cheap at $4 a glass as well as the chips at $8 for a large bowl with sauce.

The bar staff are friendly and were happy to bring our food to us and meet any requests we had. It is in a really good location close to the river but away from many other clubs and bars, so it's quieter. It's in walking distance to the train as well as the bus. Would go here again.

Had coffee and cake her. It a little cafe in a home like setting. The cakes all look like they are cooked fresh on site. Although they didn't look as perfect as cakes made at factories they tasted great. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the cafe seems to be popular.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for La Dolce Vita, Milton QLD

Had the chicken pasta. It was good but nothing amazing. I wouldn't go here just for the food. You can get the same quality stuff a bit cheaper.

However what sets this place apart is the atmosphere. It has a replica Eiffel tower out the front (about 6 meters) and is nicely decorated. The service is also amazing. There was more than enough staff to great us. They remembered the booking I had made on the telephone and even my name.

Approximate cost: $22
