I follow a Gluten free diet - the chef was more than happy to accommodate this. I had the chicken risotto and it was delicious. My date had the chicken parma - it was a large serving and he couldn't eat it all!

Simone is the kindest, gentlest beautician you could find. A real gem (not sure why I'm praising her - don't want her to be booked out when I need her!). My DD and I have our underarms and eyebrows waxed. She does a fantastic job and we will not go anywhere else now. I've been having my underarms and eyebrows waxed for 20 years, DD for about 3 and she is the best!

I wanted to go to the Pancake Parlour for my birthday - I've always loved the cheese and potato pancake and the 'Alice in Wonderland'. The service was ok - for a Sunday night! We had to wait for a while to be served. One of the waiters was not very friendly. The other waitress was lovely. The cheese and potato pancake was divine - as yummy as I remembered. The Alice in Wonderland was not so good. A bit small, too much chocolate sauce, not enough ice cream. I had to ask for another set of cutlery, was sharing it with my DD. Would have like another plate, but didn't want to have to wait for a staff member to come back to the table.

Approximate cost: $20.00
