I have been using Floral Image for my workplace for the past year. They deliver fake flowers to our office and rotate them every four weeks for an approx cost of $10p/w.

I must say they are very good at fooling the eye. I get so many comments on how nice the "flowers" are! These are great for workplaces that don't have the time to maintain real flowers but still want the office to look nice and welcoming. Staff are always very friendly.

We ordered the Hanaichi chicken which started off well, the flavours were really nice and the sauce went really well with the dish. Unfortunately, a piece of chicken had a long black hair on it. My partner took it back and asked for a replacement which the server organised. After a few moments the chef comes out and beckons my partner to him. He tried to tell my partner that it wasn't from the kitchen staff and that it was blonde - implying that it was mine as I have blonde hair.
My partner came back and told me this and by this time my appetite had gone. When I went to the server to ask for a refund as the chef tried to blame the hair on me, she kept saying "oh no, he meant it was from staff at factory as we order our chicken from elsewhere". Unfortunately, the damage was done and there was no way I was eating any more from there.

Shame as it did taste nice but obviously after this experience we will not be going back there.

My partner and I went here for dinner on a Thursday night. It wasn't too busy. Our waiter was great, very friendly. Menu's and water came out quick and we didn't wait long for her to take our order.

We had the coconut soup, beef noodle soup and fried rice. All three dishes were great tasting. The coconut soup was small serving but was packed full of yummy vegetables and was full of flavour.

Our waiter even made small talk as we were paying. Very happy with our experience and as we live local we will definitely be dining there again.

BP Latrobe is a very decent priced mechanic service.
Steve is very honest with the work and will always tell you what needs doing and how much it will be before he goes ahead a fixes it. The services are well priced and I have never felt I have been overcharged.

As it is located at a 24 hour servo, you also have the option of picking your car up after hours. Very handy if it is hard for you to leave work early. Highly recommend this mechanic.

I always get great service when I visit this Napoleon store. It was just a small concept counter prior to the new Carindale opening but they have moved into a proper store now.

I love using Napoleon make up as it gives you full coverage and the staff are always so helpful with selecting the right colour for your skin.

Great subway to go to. Can be a little busy at lunch time, I walked in the other day and the line was double but the staff are so efficient and fast you don't wait long and the staff are always friendly

Springlake hotel is a nice, well decorated hotel right on the lake in Springfield Lakes. It's located in the complex where maccas is.

Parking is easy and its a nice restaurant for lunch or dinner, and they have table service.

I don't have kids, but it's very family friendly too. They offer kids eat free days, and have a large playground area for them.

Food is delicious and well presented. On my first visit, I expected a pub meal overflowing with chips but meals are well presented and taste great.

Approximate cost: $25

Bikram yoga here is awesome.The yoga room is massive, and they have clean shower facilities available.

The instructors are great - very friendly and engaging during the classes.

Bikram is not for the faint hearted though. It's hard! You will start sweating in the first five minutes, and you may feel faint during parts of the class but the outcome is well worth it.

There is free street parking available - just be mindful of game days though when the 15 minute parking rules apply.

Approximate cost: $20

This place is okay. Little on the pricey side but it is inner city so higher prices are to be expected.

I've been there twice with the same therapist who is a bit dull not overly friendly and welcoming but not rude either. My treatments have been fine though. Will probably keep going as it's close to home but service could be improved.

Best restaurant I've been to in Brisbane.

Staff are very attentive and I can't fault the food. Yes, the prices are high but the service definitely makes up for it.

Highly recommend this place for a special night out.
