$ of us went there on a Sunday night and had Tapas as entree and 4 different mains. We had 2 Bottles of wine. The food was great well presented and delicious. My only adverse comment would be the long delay between courses our was over an hour. I think it was a lost order because once I asked it was there in 10minutes

The owner of this place has the worst customer attitude I have ever come across. I went there early on a thursday morning to but the paper. It was about 2 minutes before 7am and the door was half open so I went in grabbed the paper and left the correct moey on the counter. The owner & his assitant(wife I think) immediately started a tirade of abuse saying we don't open till 7am the door wasn't open etc and continued to abuse me back to my car. Needless to say I don't shop there except to collect Postal packages

Big W do not issue rainchecks for specials out of stock.. The attitude of the staff member was we only keep specials till the stocks run out. Surprising from a company that is making billions and could easily insist that suppliers take back any unsold items

This store is typical of Kmarts stores. The service is next to nil. The reduced number of staff on the registers lead to long queues. I prefer to pay extra at the independant and get someone who knowsme and appreciates my custom.

Funny restaurant in a difficult to find location. The decor (for want of a better name) is very run down. It looks a bit dirty but that might just be the age of the place. We were in the back portion and the front area looks much better. We only had an entree a couple of mains and rice. The meals were okay and we found the meal sufficient for a quick pre show meal. Have not been back since then due to the location.

Went with friends in the business so we probably got a bit more than normal. The food was fabulous, the staff friendly and efficient. Between course was a bit slow but that didn't matter as we were out with friends and the night was fun. One of the people that were in the party has a successful food business and can be somewhat critical so his accolades are well justified. We had the friday nite set course dinner.

I go there a couple of times a years for my birthday lunch which gives me a deal one meal free. The meals are adequate and the staff pleasant. The noise is one thing that turns me off and until the no smoking rules came in smoke drifted across from the bar. To be fair it s pub food and for the discounted price is reasonable value.

My experience there was pathetic. I think the problem was the Maitre' d/manager, he had lost control of the staff and the waits-persons. Such a great location ruin by bad staff and average food It has closed down and as yet I am to visit the newly renovated place.

It is some time ago but I haven't been back since. I ordered the Chateaubriand for 2. We had to wait almost 2 hours and the excuse was we don't have enough serving trolleys.I think it may have changed hands in the meantime but fortunately there are many restaurants in Perth so I only go to those with good food god service and god attitude, otherwise I prefer to cook at home.
