This review is for Motorama Toyota 4 X 4, Salisbury QLD

Excellent however they have since moved up to Moorooka but the same team is there, they run a very professional outfit and the key to their success is communication. Whenever I had my car in and something pops up, they always call me.

Approximate cost: $200

This review is for Black Coffee Lyrics, Surfers Paradise QLD

verified email - 16 Mar 2014

Firstly ... AMAZING coffee, so many coffee shops burn the coffee or over heat the milk, their Barista is fantastic. I have been there on 3 occasions and the standard is very high. The food is modern and presented expertly, staff are very young and hip, Dan the manager makes me laugh ... only problem is parking ..I hate Surfers at the moment as they have close so many roads. Black Coffee Lyrics is upstairs and a little hard to find but well worth the effort.

This review is for Dent Doctor, Slacks Creek QLD

verified email - 16 Mar 2014

Its just not fair I am a good driver but my car seems to attract dings, dints and scratches. My latest was a runaway shopping trolley at Garden city which put a big dint in my door. The poor lady who lost he trolley was most apologetic anyway I rang around panel beaters until one suggested the Dent Doctor. He cam to my work, quoted me and then did the job the same day and the best bit was he didnt have to repaint the door. I think they use a magic wand LOL, anyway $160 later my car is back to the way it used to be. Thanks

This review is for KGB Security, Taringa QLD

I have never had to use a locksmith before so I turned to Google ...OMG there are so many to choose from it was very daunting as I get a little intimidated by tradesmen. I rang about 6 who advertise they are "local" (there is not a locksmith in Sherwood) and I discovered that most are mobile and work from their home. Being a single Mum I am cautious anyway I finally spoke to Brock who as it turns out is one of the owners (this was an out of hours call) he answered all my questions and I made an appointment. Well as promised the locksmith turned up on time and removed the snapped key from my rollerdoor. What impressed me was he was in a clean uniform (with shoes lol ) and showed me his ID straight away. Peopel dont realize how unsettling it is to have a stranger come into your house let alone one that can open any lock, anyway I am happy now that I can use my rollerdoor once more.

This review is for Arabellas, Upper Mount Gravatt QLD

verified email - 16 Mar 2014

Arabellas is a quaint little cafe tucked away in a small shopping centre off Logan Rd, there is plenty of parking and it is a "sidewalk cafe" in that there are no tables inside. I love the fact that they use real charcoal to cook their food. Lamb and chicken cooked on charcoal tastes great. Very cheap and when you look around at other patrons you will notice most of them are of middle east extraction which is always good.

This review is for Coopers Plains Dental Surgery, Coopers Plains QLD

verified email - 15 Mar 2014

I have always been a nervous patient but the staff are fantastic and the surgery is really nice now. I have been there on 2 occasions and they are very skilled at what they do. The follow up phone call was a really nice touch. Being new to Brisbane I had no one to refer me so I tried pot luck and I was indeed lucky.

This review is for The Sit Down Comedy Club, Paddington QLD

verified email - 15 Mar 2014

I have a regular for many years and it is managed very well, the food is well priced and for pub food is above average, the comedians are always first rate and I have never had a dud one. The main reason to go is to laugh and as the name suggests this is what you will find. One little grope is that the ventilation needs improvement but this is a small point.

Approximate cost: $35

This review is for King Ahiram Lebanese Food, West End QLD

verified email - 15 Mar 2014

I have been a regular for over 20 years and in that time I have watched as "Walley" the owner serves many people and he rarely smiles ...people moan about the service but this is not a fine dining place so get real. The food is absolutely authentic and very reasonable. If they doubled or tripled their prices and had nice tables and smart uniforms would that make it better NO...I go their because it is so different. Highly recommend it !!!!!

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for Lefkas Greek Taverna, West End QLD

verified email - 15 Mar 2014

Yep the food is amazing and the new renovations make it even nicer, but parking can be a real pain. I have going there for almost 12 years and when I saw the chance to review I thought I would take it. I also come from Melbourne an boy talk about great food so I was thrilled when I tripped across lefkas all those years ago.

This review is for The Norman Hotel, Woolloongabba QLD

verified email - 15 Mar 2014

I have been a regular of the Norman for many years and the owners used to own the Brekky Creek, anyway the meals are very similar to the BCH, and their motto "the worst vegetarian restaurant in Brisbane" is a bit tongue in cheek. Alas nothing stands out, its clean etc but can be very noisy and parking is terrible on a busy night.

Approximate cost: $50
