This is a training restaurant at the TAFE and is open on selected days throughout the year for lunch and dinner. Bookings are essential and there is usually a waiting list.
There is a set menu consisting of two entrees, mains and desserts. If you are with a group these are served alternately around the table. On my last visit I had a gnocchi entree followed by a mouthwatering salmon and a strawberry meringue dessert. There is also a good selection of wines.
The service can be slower than you would expect in a professional restaurant but one must remember that these are students learning their skills. The ambience is pleasant and the cost is very reasoanble. I'll be going back again.

Bryn Price is a very talented, published photographer who does studio and location photography. Apart from his talent and ability I really like his commitment to the environment by offering what he calls "Green Shoots" or carbon offset photoshoots by planting trees. A great way to feel even better about having your portrait taken, your portfolio produced or your wedding memories captured. See what he has to offer, you won't be disappointed.

Associate Professor Michael Dodd is a respiratory and sleep medicine specialist. I first saw Dr Dodd with pulmonary emboli and have since been treated by him for sleep apnea. He is a very nice doctor, friendly and with a great "bed side manner". Apart from the great treatment and advice I have received, I also appreciate the fact that he always runs on time with his appointments.

Dr Brown can be seen at Castle Hill or also at the Wahroonga Specialist Centre 4/176 Fox Valley Road Wahroonga 2076, 02 9489 8044. During consultations and minor surgery I found Dr Brown to be very kind and caring. He is also chatty and amusing which puts you at ease. I would not hesitate to see him again for any gynaecological problem and other women I know who have had him as their obstetrician say that he was a great doctor to have for their pregnancy and birth.

Di Munns is an accredited Practising Dietician who can be seen at either her Manly address or at RPAH Medical Centre Newtown. I found her to be a very pleasant, supportive person who gave me good information and ideas about how to go about healthy weight loss.

I've had many treatments over the years at this clinic and they have always helped me by reducing pain, increasing movement and improving my condition. Their services are not expensive in comparison to other physios I have tried and they are experienced at dealing with all sorts of injuries and ongoing conditions. Last time I was there I also underwent some massage for lymphodema until I could attend a specialised lymphodema program. The massage was very helpful.

In my capacity as a dog trainer I have often referred clients who have behavioural problems with their dogs to the behavioural experts at SABS. They deal with dog, cat and bird behavioural problems and the vet behaviourists are the most experienced you will find in Sydney. Dr Kersti Seksel is well known to many people as a regular presenter on ABC radio as well as through her contributions to magazines. If you need behavioural help contact SABS who can tell you how to go about getting a referral for assessment and a behavioural program.

As well as the Soth Strathfield location the Eye Clinic for Animals can also be found at 64 Atchison St Crows Nest NSW 2065 Ph: 02 9436 4884

Dr Cameron Whiitaker treated one of my dogs and he is an excellent specialist. My dog loved him and he was so gentle with her. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

This veterinary centre has specialists in many different fields and takes referrals from other vets. They also provide a 24 hour emergency service for when your own vet is unavailable. Treatment can be very expensive unless you have animal insurance but you can be confident that you are getting the best treatment. We have had two of our dogs treated here and I know many other people who have taken their dogs here for both specialist treatment or emergency care. If your vet refers you here or if you need out of hours care, you can be assured they will do the best for your pet.

Approximate cost: $depends on treatment needed
