Recently went here for the first time and was impressed with the staff, the variety on the menu and most of all the quality and taste of the food! As another reviewer mentioned, the meals are large but I think it was the best risotto I've tried so far so I was very pleased. There seemed to be lots of space in the restaurant which was nice to have compared to the clutter of some places
Nice variety of food and good prices however my meal was extremely salty; my ordered latte turned out to be a cappuccino and it was difficult getting drinks initially. That said, I do want to try them again
I had to go here for a scan of my shoulder and was very impressed with the person doing my scan. They were able to tell me what was going on, what could be done as far as treatment and gave suggestions of what to avoid. I had to wait for some time in the room my scan was done before the technician arrived but once he had everything went smoothly.
I had lunch here recently and was impressed with the friendliness of the staff. It did take some time to be served and this was when the place was nearly empty (weekday lunch); and one part of the order was slightly messed up but the food was delicious and there was a big range of choice with the menu. I particularly liked the ability to add extra items to the meal including the cajun chicken which was very tasty.
Really great hairdressers conveniently located in Belmont Shopping village. No appointment needed, although there can be a short wait depending on how busy they are and it is better to arrive earlier rather than later in the day. On my last visit my hairdresser gave me some really good tips on how to better manage my fringe which were really appreciated since it's usually a great problem for me. Friendly staff and a good price for haircuts.
Much longer opening hours than my usual doctor so I went here one night in preference to emergency. Very busy and a longish wait, but I was asked if I wanted to lie down while waiting (chose not too) and when I did get to see the doctor she was fantastic. Very thorough, competent, professional and kind and it was a nice change seeing a female doctor. I like the convenience of having a more locally based doctor, otherwise I wish I could have seen her again
Chemist warehouse definitely has good prices ... that's if you can find what you are looking for! very cluttered, busy and messy and just not a nice place to be for any length of time which is a shame because it would have been nice to explore the products more. I wanted to spend more time looking at the perfumes but gave up on that idea. I'm not sure what they were doing when I was in there recently; whether part of a stocktake or just a general check or what but the staff seemed to be out scanning items on shelves and making it even harder to navigate. I did get a much better deal than I would have at my local chemist and it may be worth the inconvenience in that respect; but I'll be tempted to try their online shopping next time and see how well that works.
I had a really tasty pasta meal here, my problem was it was also very salty. If that was all it would have been fine but the cafe was so busy that it proved impossible to get a second drink despite several promises from staff that a waiter would be there in just a moment. A long line of waiting customers also formed in front of us which made things a bit unpleasant. Great views of the bay and great food; but more staff and a better system for the overflow of traffic would be good.
The noise of the nearby helicoper ride around the bay is also very disruptive.
This is a food court business so the actual dining experience varies a lot depending on how busy the shopping centre is. The actual food is good and tasty; particularly enjoy the chips and the chicken strips. Nice for a change
Before going to Michels in person I'd enjoyed cakes from there at several functions and particularly liked the cheesecakes. Since then I've found that the Belmont shop is also a great place to visit for lunch or a snack. I'm a big fan of any kind of pastry which include spinach so was pleased to find a good range of savoury options. Friendly staff as well which adds to the experience
