Highlights:
- Atmosphere, wine list, service
Lowlights:
- Food, not bad but only ok due the variation in quality from fantastic to very ordinary

The Generous Squire, CBD, 3 stars
Busy on Friday nights, surprisingly quiet at other times.
Modern bar, open spaces to stand around and have a good chat, with some relaxing areas. Overall a good place. Perth needs more of these.
That said a bit bland. The menu is ordinary. They are aiming to make ordinary food well and they have succeeded.
Fish and chips for lunch - order 1 and share.

Raffles Pub, Applecross, 3 stars
Downstairs at the Raffles on Canning Hwy.
I think we have probably been here 10 times. Surprised I don't seem to have written a summary of my experiences.
On the plus side: Food is consistently good, basic and not cheap but good. The steak sandwich is my choice most often. Location is great, nice way to spend a sunny afternoon or stop for breaky on a bike ride. Beer and wine selection is always sufficient to find something nice.
Other thoughts: Service is patchy. From great to very poor and actually rude on occasion. Actually now I think about when its good service its not very genuine.
The restaurant upstairs is ordinary (and expensive).

Sparrow Indonesian Restaurant, Northbridge, 3 stars
Cheap, great value, ordinary food.
For $30 we have enough for 2 and enough to take home for dinner the next night, that possibly makes it cheaper than Macdonalds.
decor can only be described as plain. Was this a Greek restaurant once a upon a time? The fake grape vine is oddly out of place.
Although it is cheap i don't think I will look forward to coming back so probably will not.

Subi Hotel, Subiaco, 2.5 stars
Overall a nice enough experience. Good service and pleasing room and reasonable looking, if unimaginative menu, good looking winelist.
I think to food is probably the let down. My Caesar salad was really ordinary. I need to see some fresh tasty lemon and anchovy dressing. This one had lots of salmon (Optional extra) and bacon, but no balance of flavours. All show but no real go.
My party had a similar experiences with there meals, OK but just a little disappointing.

Mini, London Court, Perth CBD 3.5 stars
Some of the best coffee in Perth. The place to get coffee of a morning.
Great service and sandwiches. Fantastic to see people so excited about what they do.
