This is a great place to either dine in or get a take away chinese meal from. They offer a great variety of all the usual meals you expect to find at a Chinese restaurant as well as a few of their own speciality meals. They offer a BYO wine only but have bar facilities that offer beer, spirits and wine. The service is exceptional and the staff will go out of their way to ensure that you have an enjoyable time. it is a child friendly restaurant with highchairs readily available. They do get busy on Saturday evenings so it is a good idea to book ahead.

A totally unique experience... Ice cream like you have never had before... Thousands of tiny little balls of ice cream that kind of explode in your mouth. Kids love the new expreience but don't think it's only for them, plenty of adults are seen leaving the shop too.

I recently had to replace a cv joint in my car and after many phone calls found B Jays Autos to be much cheaper than anywhere else. The staff areextremely helpful and as well as selling any parts you may need they will also do any mechanical work. If they don't have what you need in stock they will gladly get it for you asap.

I recently visited Elite Hair & Beauty after a friend recommended them to me and was really impressed with the service I received. I've often felt uncomfortable in many hair salons I've visited but this wasn't the case here. The staff made me feel most welcome and were friendly and talkative. The girl that did my hair really helped me decide upon the style and what type of color would best suit me. The premises are modern and it has a friendly atmosphere. I was most impressed with what i received for my money and am certain that I would of paid double anywhere else. I had a style cut, color and foils all for $70. You can't do better than that.

My girlfriend and i decided to try this restaurant's pizzas. It is situated in the main street of Hamilton (which has many fine restaurants and cafes) and has both indoor and outdoor seating. We dined there about 5.30 in the afternoon so unfortunately we didn't get to experience the live entertainment they offer however, I have heard from other people that it is terrific. The staff are friendly and we couldn't complain about the service they provided us with. We ordered a supreme pizza to share and were pleasantly surprised to find it loaded with pineapple, ham, capsicum, onion, pepperoni, mushrooms and lots of cheese. We both enjoyed the food and have been back several times.

A friend and i went to Martines on a Sunday afternoon to have a coffee. I really enjoy a good cappucino so was happy to see the waitress place before me a good size mug. The coffee was served at a temperature i found suitable (I didn't have to wait 10 minutes for it to cool before i could take a sip), it had a lovely thick froth on top and was sprinkled with chocolate. What also impressed me about this place was the great variety of take home foods they have available, everything from salads to pasta. It all looked most appealing and was reasonably priced. It has a kitchen that is visible from the counter so you can see your food being prepared fresh. I did find the waitress who served us to be a little unfriendly however, that may have been due to it being near closing time on a Sunday. I would certainly return for another cappucino and am keen to try some of their food.
