This was very disappointing the pies were made with a thick gelatine like gravy which had no flavour was more like a grey colour. The cakes all different varieties were not as expected either if they were fresh their cooking needs to be revised

Like many people I don't go to the dentist weekly, I do go regularly and had only just finished getting my teeth cleaned at a dentist close to home.

Well circumstances took me to this Dentist it was a Saturday and my dentist was not open and every other one I rang wouldn't see me as I was not a regular, or they were just closing, booked up, or our conversation was hampered by not being able to understand one another. I was upset as one of my front tooth snapped off. I was in a panic I thought the pain would start any time and I would be stranded for the weekend in pain.

They were busy but fitted me in late which all worked out fine. I had an xray and the consultation on what my options were and what could happen down the track.

Today was the day when I went to start my tooth fixing. I was in and out in an hour. I left with a tooth that looks like my tooth but its not.

I have to admit the lady dentist didn't hurt me at all and she explained everything as she worked on my restoration. The best dentist for giving injections, just a small prick and that was it; she obviously knows how to give them. I am saying no pain, at all.

I have to go back in three months to see how the pins are holding and then another three months after for the review and then I will have the tooth capped.

I was very, very happy with my experience there.
Thank you Paralowie Dental Service.

It's a normal bar café which does a variety of breakfast and lunch menus. Had the big breakfast with some friends and it was value plus. Very nice with a mixture of different goodies and hot. The only thing I could ask to be better was the time that we waited but it was busy, which actually some how ment the coffee was cold. Not sure if they kept it back to go with meal. They should have bought that out sooner but as I said they were busy and next time I will make the request for coffee ASAP

The makeover for this place is wonderful atmosphere and ambience, well placed smoking section and that is where it stops.

Were in the a la carte section and we had to go and order up at a window. This is not a la carte, as I remember. Ordered the Seafood buffet for two and it was full of variety of things to eat. Sounded exciting but in fact it was either tasteless or inedible we waited far to long for our meal and it wasn't even hot. The glasses piled up around us as the plates after our meal and were still on the table when we left.

There was a buffet section which we did not attend but a two people from a neighbouring table wandered in to get a snack obviously as they were hungry and as us had been waiting ages for meals to come out but couldn't hold out any longer. Within minutes of their return with 2 little items security swooped and they were given and rant on stealing and was asked to pay. (Don't know if they did).

I found the whole service and food experience terrible I would try somewhere else to eat. I don't ever see us going back there. Attractive décor but the rest was well below average even for a pub.

The prices for food and drinks were overpriced.

This review is for Tan Nhu Y Vietnamese + Chinese Restaurant, Athol Park SA

This place has always lots of customers. I have personally never eaten at the restaurant but have ordered take away on 10+ occasions now. This is my favourite for ringing and picking up my order on my way home. I have the number saved in my phone. Looks a clean, fresh place and the staff have always been friendly, just a shame that sometimes they are hard to understand. Food has always been delicious and they have a large variety to pick from and have been happy with the good prices. And I need to say I don't mind paying for a good meal this is just a bonus when I eat there. Just writing this review has made me want some of their good stuff. Just going to have to give a ring and get some treats tonight.

Had a booking for dinner with the whole family about three months ago and it was great. Service was ok but they were busy. Food was hot and good size portions. Stopped buy the other week and they were booked out so we ordered take away and it was very good value. It was very yummy. Actually preferred the take away as I do feel the restaurant could do with a bit of a makeover for atmosphere and ambience.

This review is for The Pot Food & Wine, Hyde Park SA

Had seen this café while out helping the family and it looked so nice and I decided it was a place to try it was busy which I think is always a good sign the food is good.
Drove especially out there for our meal. Found the parking was a problem with us having to walk way too far for my liking.
As we didn't know the name we didn't book but they had some stools at the bar where people ate so we accepted those for our meal instead of a table. I found this very uncomfortable not my type of dining, but that's what happens when you don't book, and they are busy.
Lots of people in there why I have no idea. It was the worst meal that I have paid where we were charged over $50.00 per head.
The food was that bad that we even left it after trying all the bits, and they asked if we were full which replied “no” and then if we wanted to take it home, which was another “no”.
Our total meal for 2 was over $150.00 with drinks and we both left hungry. Maybe they are catering for the rich market with no real taste. It was obvious that there were regulars in there as they fussed around them like flies.
It was overpriced, uncomfortable and we wont be back even with a free meal.

Approximate cost: $50+

This review is for El Toro Espanol, Semaphore SA

Went down to Semaphore for a walk along the road to peek in the shops and came across El Toro Español. Wasn't busy not always a good sign but we decided to get a bite to eat. We didn't have our glasses and couldn't read the menu so we asked then to just bring some tapas that he recommended. Each one was very yummy but we don't know what we ate. Will be going back again definitely.

This review is for Vivid Computers, Grange SA

My computer kept shutting down due to the excess dust in the cabinet so I took it to Vivid and they said it would be ready that afternoon.
I had been to dentist so went home to rest. They said they would ring when ready but regardless would be there till 6.00pm as it was Thursday night.
I woke at 5.30pm and they had messaged not phoned it was ready. Got myself ready and was at shop at 5.50pm and they had closed.
What upset me was I had explained I wanted to skpe my daughter that night and we had arranged the meeting time which was early hours of the morning as she is overseas so it was important I had the computer back.
The work they did on computer was 100% it was just the service, on that occasion. They didn't do what they said with the contacting.

I had some time to waste while waiting for my girlfriend to arrive and stopped in shop to see if they could fit in for a pedicure, even though they looked busy she said if I waited they would fit me in.
Had the pedicure and I was very happy. Last time I went to a place they cut my cuticles so bad my feet where sore for days.
Took a card and have gone back for various other treatments, which include eyelash extensions, eyebrow shaping which led to me having them tattooed on which are great shellac nails and more pedicures.
It is nice to find a place that has many services in the one place and have been in for more than one at a time. I will continue to use this place until I find a problem with the service or they hurt me.

Approximate cost: $30
