My husband and I regularly dine at this Cafe for dinner.

When they were fist opened they had some tethering problems but we have been back many times, with groups and just the two of us and we really enjoy it.

We always have a wood oven pizza as they are the best tasting and their Nutella Dessert Pizza is to die for

I also get the penne alla pana which is made with hand made pasta and is always cooked aldente which is perfect

We will continue to return and recommend

We enjoyed coffee and cake at Nino's over the Easter Weekend. Was very busy so we sat outside which was quite nice.

We order Muggaccino's and Hot Chocolate's which arrived hot and quite quick

We also had Tim Tam Cheesecake, Mars Bar Cheesecake, Orange Cake and Berry cheesecake

The cakes were very nice and it was a nice and relaxing afternoon tea

Went to the Crown for the first time for Lunch. I had the Vegetarian Schnitzel (seasoned eggplant) with their tropical topping but made some changes by substituting the ham for their tomato salsa that they use on their parmigiana.
Other members in my party ordered the Chicken Schnitzel Parmigiana, Grilled Barramundi and The Almond Grilled Chicken Strips

The Schnitzels and the Chicken Strips arrived quickly, but the Grilled Barramandi didn't arrive. When I got my Schnitzel I noticed that there was no sauce, so I waited for the other order to arrive to ask for it and after 5 minutes decided to go up and ask. The Waitress looked confused and then said she would get some for me (i asked for it to be heated on the side) I also asked about the missing meal. When I returned to the table another waitress was telling the other member that it would be a couple of minutes as they were just finishing it off.

After another 5-10 minutes the Barramundi finally arrived (they forgot to cook it in the first place).

The waitress I asked about the sauce arrived at the table to tell me that they had run our of salsa. I looked at her and said ' so you have run out of parmigiana sauce?' She was very confused and then went back to the kitchen (my meal is pretty cold by now) and then returns saying 'that sauce is cooking with cheese on top) I'm pretty mad by now, because I tasted the topping without the sauce and it was very bland and needed the sauce. She then returns to the kitchen. The Manager then comes to the table and asks what is missing (this the 3rd person now), straight away she takes my meal and returns with it re heated, extra chips and the sauce on the side

Everyone had finished their meals by the time i finally got mine sorted which was a bit disappointing. also the salad bar was a bit of a let down, there were no hot vegetables and after asking how long they would be they said a couple of minutes they still didn't get there

I would like to try them again, but will order something different as the Eggplant was quite bland maybe one of their burgers as they did look quite good

Great group of girls, Alice is my favourite. She knows her colours and knows how to make her clients feel fabulous. They are on the expensive side, meaning I can't maintain my hair as I can't afford it every month but it is relaxing and would be even better if they had foot stools

Approximate cost: $150

I have been attending this practice for over 8 years now, with my regular GP being absolutely Brilliant. She is a wonderful Doctor and takes great care in her patients. I am able to go to her (ever though she can be difficult to get in to) when my kids are sick, or myself and she will always know what is going on. The reception staff are also brilliant and care about the patients and go out of their way to help you

This review is for Harcourts South Coast, Victor Harbor SA

I tried to book accommodation with the Holiday Property Team, and it took almost a week of constant ringing to finally be left disappointed.
After searching their Holiday Properties Website with availability for the dates I required I requested prices for a couple of properties. In the automatic response emails I was told that we would hear from them within 24 hours. After 2 days of hearing absolutely nothing regarding any of the properties, we decided to phone Harcourts direct and find out what is happening. When I got hold of the manager he told me that he would get his assistant to email me with what is available when she gets in at 9am. Let's just say I kept hitting refresh on the email and never got that email. at 4 pm that day I rang to see what was happening and the assistant had no idea what I was talking about. In between this time I decided to put in a Booking Request for one of the properties that were available. When I finally did talk to the assistant she told me she would email me straight away the price and go from there...50 minutes later (4.50pm) the email comes through with no confirmation and half the price and telling me that manager will be in on saturday and will chase up with the owners. I send back asking if that means we can have the property and I hear nothing back....until Tuesday when I ring AGAIN to chase them up. At this point I was told that the owners weren't sure whether they wanted to rent the property for this period or use it for themselves.
By this point I am quite upset at how stressful this process has been. Thankfully Toop and Toop had responded immidately with another property and we had to secure that property. After being on the phone with Harcourts again I was told they would just up another property and get back to me straight away as I had to give confirmation with Toop and Toop within half an hour. Well after 40 minutes, I call harcourts again and they tell me that nothing is available basically, even though they are available on their website.
I have never had such problems bookign accommodation and I think that the whole team at Harcourts South Coast need to look after their customers much better. We still haven't had responses regarding some properties. Obviously they do not care much about their clients and as for the landlords of the properties I think that they should know in advance if they are going to use their properties. It shouldn't be up to the Agents to have to chase them.

This review is for The Chicken Home, Blakeview SA

We used to go to Craigmore for Burgers, but they made sick...Then Chicken Home opened at Blakeview and they make the best burgers, the tastiest chips and awsome pineapple fritters. Open every day and doesn't have that fatty deep fried smell, which is great as you walk past them to go to Woolies.
You must give them a try, did I mention their chips are AMAZING they don't even taste deep fried and they are crunchy

Our Favourite Pizza place that delivers to us :) Love there pizza and Garlic Bread and can be guaranteed a great pizza every time, they are also very quick for pick up and delivery.
Only downfall is they don't know how to make a margherita Pizza (All it is, is fresh tomato, cheese and herbs) not a cheese pizza...please make a traditional Margherita :p

Approximate cost: $24.95

This review is for Port Elliot Bakery, Port Elliot SA

Every time I am down on the South Coast I have to stop and get brunch, lunch or Afternoon Tea from the Bakery. If you get there at lunch time you can expect to be in line. This is the most popular Bakery on the South Coast and it is no longer a secret.
Their Donuts are the BEST!!! No exaggeration!!!!!!! Interstaters love Krispy Kremes well in Adelaide we have the Pt Elliot Bakery :)
The only slight downfall is that their hot food is never hot enough, always just warm. I understand that they keep the food at recommended temperature but it would be nice if it was actually hot, it would make it a perfect score then
