My husband and I have had brunch here twice now. Our first visit was great, fast friendly service and some really tasty food. But our most recent brunch was very disappointing, the staff were quite rude and it took about 40 minutes before we received our meals. I will say our meals tasted delicious, especially the scrambled eggs, but the service was certainly lacking. It wasn't even busy, so not excuses.

Will probably give them another try.

Wow! I cannot fault this restaurant, the staff and food were exceptional.

We met up with some friends here as they were staying in a nearby motel. They told us they had dined here recently and that we just had to try them.

Our meals were fabulous, so full of flavour, well presented and very generous. We shared our meals, starting with dim sims, spring rolls and satay beef & chicken skewers as our entrees, they were mouthwateringly delicious. Our mains consisted of Garlic Prawns, Peking Duck, Szechuan Chicken and Steak with Black Bean sauce. OMG, everything was perfect, absolutely delicious. Our friends told us that our meals brought back memories of their recent visit to Hong Kong, so authentic.

Our meals were served promptly by friendly efficient waiting staff with a smile. The prices are very affordable starting at around $13 for mains. Well worth every cent.

We Will Be Returning! Definitely recommend.

Approximate cost: $13+

A very nice restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. My husband and I decided to try this restaurant after a few friends told us about it.

They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, we decided we would have dinner and ordered the shared dishes so we could try a bit of everything. Loved their sticky ribs, lamb cutlets and piri piri chicken. I feel it was a bit pricey at $44 per person, the food was nice but not for that price. You can also choose the pots & plates which is about $18 per person, but it seems you receive a lot of entrees and you would only order this if you don't have an appetite.

Staff were friendly, yet seemed to be in a hurry as they were clearing our table without asking - we were still eating. Also, my husband asked for a glass of beer and his glass was mainly froth! He was not happy!

Overall, the food was nice, staff friendly - but lacking proper customer service and a bit expensive. I do not see us returning.

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious breakfast here recently. They have such a huge menu, it wasn't easy to make a decision. My husband ordered The Works and I tried the scrumptious banana pancakes with cream and caramel sauce, so yummy.

After checking out the lunch menu, we have decided we will have to return as it looks fabulous and the prices really are very reasonable. They also do a great coffee!

Service was fast and friendly, will be returning.

Bay of Bengal is my absolute favourite Indian Restaurant. Have been here a few times now with both family and friends. My most recent dining experience was with my husband celebrating his milestone birthday!

We have never been disappointed with Bay of Bengal, everything is always perfect from the moment we arrive and are seated at our table. The staff have always been so friendly and helpful with our meal selections. The atmosphere is fabulous, and I cannot forget to mention how delicious their indian cuisine is, tasting so authentic.

We are always so impressed with the presentation and mouth watering flavours of our meals. Once again we ordered the mixed entree as it is a great way to try everything. My husband was set on ordering the "HOT" Beef Vindaloo again and commented - 'it's perfect!' I went for something milder, the Butter Chicken which has the most delicious creamy sauce, this may now be my favouirte! A must have with your meals are the roti's and pappadoms as well as their yummy chutneys. I cannot rate Bay of Bengal anything else but 10/10.

Thank you Bay of Bengal as you made my husbands birthday special.....

I tried this cafe with my husband earlier this year and found the best thing about it was the location. Our coffee was almost cold and our food was certainly disappointing, extremely soggy/oily chips and the service wasn't much good either.

We really wanted to give them another chance but for some reason, each time we have attempted to, they seem to be closed. Will try again when the weather warms up.

Was taking my son for a long driving lesson and decided to stop here for a coffee and something light to eat.

We found the ladies to be very friendly and our coffee and meals were ready very quickly considering there were quite a few people there. We must have arrived at their peak time.

Overall, a very nice cafe with friendly service.

Have been here a couple of times with my friend who lives locally. We usually like to grab a coffee and cake or sandwich once we have finished our shopping.

They serve some great coffee and cake, haven't tried any of the hot meals yet but they do look delicious. Very friendly atmoshere and plenty of seating. They always seem to be busy which is a good sign.

Will definitely be returning.

This review is for La Tombola Italian Restaurant, Parkside SA

My husband and I recently tried this restaurant with a few friends as we had heard such great things about it. We certainly were not disappointed.

A very welcoming atmosphere with excellent service and delicious authentic italian food. One of our friends is italian and he said it was the best italian he has had in a very long time. We started with some brushetta and oysters kilpatrick - so fresh and delicious. For mains I tried the spaghetti Marinara and my husband and friend tried the calamari. All our meals were perfect and just loved the presentation.

The meals were a little expensive, but well worth it. Overall, this is an outstanding restaurant with excellent food and service. I highly recommend you try. Also, they have an excellent wine list.

My husband had an appointment nearby so we decided to try this lovely cafe. The staff were very friendly and the coffee and muffins were fabulous. We had a quick look at the menu and thought the breakfasts looked delicious, would like to try that next time.

Our coffee and muffins were served promptly, this cafe had a welcoming feel to it, so we will return.
