This review is for Little Vienna, Sydney NSW

verified email - 05 Apr 2013

These sandwiches are the BOMB!
If you ever walk past a 'Little Vienna' in the CBD you HAVE to stop and order any sandwich with VIENNA bread. The bread is amazing... so filling and satisfying. It's not the cheapest of places to get a quick lunch however it is a great treat.
Try their 'Sexy Tuna' it is well and truly SEXY!!

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for The Spanish Fly, Randwick NSW

verified email - 05 Apr 2013

There are a couple of tapas restaurants within Randwick, last weekend I choose to go to The Spanish Fly.
The service was great considering it was busy, our waitress was very informative and friendly.
The restaurant has a great trendy vibe to it.
The food was 'good' although I did feel that the portions were very small all my orders came on side plates. I didn't leave feeling 'full' which is what I want to feel when spending my hard earned cash.

Approximate cost: $70

This review is for National Gallery Of Art, Canberra ACT

verified email - 14 Mar 2013

I live in Sydney and regularly attend Sydney's Galleries of contemporary art. I must say when I arrived to the National Art Gallery of Australia I was impressed.
I viewed the beautiful art pieces and most importantly attended the ‘Toulouse – Lautrec, Paris Moulin Rouge'.

The staff were amazingly helpful and the gallery was beautiful I wish I had another day in Canberra so I could have gone back and had a look round again. I would strongly recommend.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for The House Of Chocolates, Bondi NSW

verified email - 31 Jan 2013

I visited this chocolate shop on Saturday afternoon and was instantly greeting by a very friendly staff member, who was very informative and helpful. This shop is a beautifully old fashioned styled chocolate shop located in the heart of Bondi on Bondi Road.
Their prices start from as low as $0.50c and could easy go up to $100+ it all depends what you are looking for. Their range of chocolates are over whelming (in a very positive way) I was excited to find that they stock some of my favorite English treats which are near to impossible to find anywhere! This will be my first place I go to when I want to treat myself with yummy chocolates!

This review is for Taxis Combined, Sydney NSW

verified email - 31 Jan 2013

I am aware that Taxi Combined now look after over 60% of Sydney Taxi's. I believe this may have got to their heads.
The drivers are often rude and un-friendly.
A number of times I have used a Taxi Combined cab, told him my destination and then suddenly we travel off track. I am not sure if it is my strong English accent but I do believe they like to make a few extra bucks off me. Sometimes I have to become very adamant to make them go the way I am used to.
This can become frustrating when I simply want to go from A to B quickly.

This review is for El Loco, Surry Hills NSW

verified email - 14 Jan 2013

I recently went to Surry Hills and decided to check out El Loco. I have heard a few good reviews about this place through the grape vine.

It had a real warm and friendly atmosphere. All very Mexican. The music was a little bit loud but I suppose it gave it a real busy vibe. The drinks were a little over priced for what they were, however still enjoyable

The food arrived promptly, and with a big group (8+) the food came at the same time. I choose the tacos which I really enjoyed, they were not dry as many tacos can be. They were very filling and enjoyable.

The staff were all very friendly and welcoming.

I am glad I checked this little Mexican Place out. I will be going back soon.

This review is for Youtube.com, Sydney NSW

verified email - 14 Jan 2013

I am aware that YouTube has been around for years, however I have only just truly started to appreciate it.

Not only can YouTube keep you entertained on a raining Sunday arvo, it can also allow you to catch up on your latest TV Programme or re-capture your past and watch old-school programmes. I have also watched some deep meaningful videos from people which really get across some great messages.

It can sometimes be a little bit difficult to find decent videos but a very descriptive search generally does the trick, I have started to share heaps of videos amongst my friends and vice-versa which keeps the flow going.

It is now my favourite website and I would recommend everyone to go online and check out some funny videos.

This review is for Loaf & Devotion, Sydney NSW

verified email - 20 Nov 2012

This is a new coffee shop which has popped up within the Sydney CBD. This is a hard market to get into however these guys have not only JUMPED into this market they are coffee guru's!!
They greet you every time as if you are their favourite customer. The coffee is great and strong (Just how I like it)
They may be a little bit more $$ than other cafe's but the environment and quality of their coffee is worthwhile.
I regularly take my clients/prospects there for a quick coffee/bite.

This review is for Max's Barber And Salon, Paddington NSW

verified email - 19 Oct 2012

My good friend recommended visiting Vicky at Max's Barber and Salon in Paddington for highlights and a cut. Coming from England and having my best friend cutting my hair for years to coming to Australia and having to meet someone new to explore and discover my hair I was pretty nervous.

I can strongly say that Vicky is AMAZING. Vicky is honest with her opinions, which I believe is essential in being a great hairdresser. She told me the truthful facts about my hair and provided me with a professional and very friendly experience. I went in with an idea of how I wanted my hair and she delivered. Which I believe is the most important thing to find within a hairdresser.

I am happy I have now found my Austrlaian hairdresser...!

This review is for Lucky Tsotsi - Shebeen & Bar, Darlinghurst NSW

This restaurant is AWESOME!!

I went there last night for my friend's birthday, the staff there are so friendly and they made the birthday environment so much fun.

When we arrived, there were lots of caramel vodka shots, local beers and cocktails involved.
When the 15 of us decided to sit down to eat, the food was spectacular, lots of food sharing was happening, I can confirm that their Peri Peri chicken was yummy and their chips were to die for. The ribs looked very juicy and meaty.

This place is ideal for any event, it was perfect for a birthday as there wasn't too pressured to sit down and eat, it was nice and relaxed with lots of drinks and food flowing.

I highly recommend this place!
