Margaret River Hotel, Pub 3 stars

Nicely put together, efficient service, slightly pretentious menu.

We have eaten here a few times.

Most recently the Cesar salad and pumpkin salad where both good.  Good amount dressing (not to much), tasty anchovies,  overall very nice balance. Don't both with the chicken the basis salad is great.

Wines are kind of ordinary in the main restaurant area.  Given the MR location you would expect something better and better value.

Kalbarri Motor Hotel, Kalbarri 3.5 stars

It is so nice to find a regional pub that has great food. This place is excellent food and value.

The decor is ordinary and basic, they could really do with a face lift, the everything else about this place is excellent.

Friendly prompt service, simple food well prepared. The Asian soup is fantastic and was the grilled fish.

UWA Club, Nedlands, 3.5 stars

Deep Water Point Cafe

Great location in the park down by the water. No matter how hot the day there always seems to be a breeze.



Shame about the coffee and the service really (sadly lazy).

Amuse, East Perth, 4.5 Stars WIP

10 course + petite fours:

The meal:

Snacks: Foie Gras wrapped in Cabinet wine jelly, bread stick wrapped in prosciutto, chips with mayonnaise foam and .... All in all very tasty perhaps a bit complex and fussy - lots of little things.

Tea and Toastie with a Paul Nelson, Galafrey, 2009 Fume Blanc, Mount Barker, WA: Mushroom Tea and Gruyére cheese toastie

Chestnut, Pear and Sour Milk: Chestnut polenta, chest nut pieces with pair, cream and sour milk - deliciously rich and tasty

Marron, dill and Mussel with Domdne Wachau, 2007 Chablis Burgundy: Mussel juice, crispy prosciutto, just cooked Marron with dill garnish,

Fish, celeriac and sago: Also Israeli couscous oyster source was fantastic

Lamb, shallot and salsa Verde: Pickled shallot, lamb sweet breads with the slow cooked lamb and the salsa with some curry spice. Great flavours, lamb was a little dry and not that tasty. They might use mutton to improve the favour

Pork, Kohirabi and quince: With pickled veggies

Margarita: Lemon sorbet with a sherbet

Rhubarb, artichoke and oats: With ice cream

Honeycomb, caramel and malt: Chocolate, ice cream

Petit Four with coffee: white cream

Summary

Some really excellent food and service, the room is a bit ordinary and lacks atmosphere a little.

All in all a bit to much for us. we noticed that we stopped paying attention at around the pork dish and probably should have stopped at that point.
