Firewater Grille - Perth

I went for lunch on a weekday. It was not crowded so I liked the ambience. Food is limited compared to Atrium, Monterey or Cafe at Hyatt. Starters were ok but mains were a let down, especially Asian dishes. Dessert were good although limited in variety. The main let down was plates and cutlery were dirty. So better cleaning required

Came here twice for dinner and both times I was blown away by the accomodating, great and friendly service, the steak was spot on! And the game plate was also impressive, good flavours all round and cooked well. Dessert was very good. One of the best places in Perth cbd for a top steak!

"They serve with white gloves," said my mother-in-law as she glided one hand on top of the other. Apparently that was one of the reasons this place was chosen over others as a venue to celebrate a cousin's milestone birthday. I was happy to tag along. We had the following: 1) Smoked salmon roll/sandwich: 5/5 very nice and creatively done. 2) ham sandwich: it was so tiny and there was hardly any fillings, 2/5 3) gazpacho: bad idea. Not nice at all. 1/5 4) arancini ball: this was very nicely done. 5/5 5) tart: the base was done perfectly but the filling was bland. 3/5 6) scones: nice and nothing to complain about. 3/5 7) Red velvet cake: this was one of the best red velvet cakes I've ever had and usually I don't even eat the icing but I enjoyed every part of it and even ate my sister-in-law's portion (she didn't want it). 5/5 8) creme brûlée custard: it was presented nicely but was bland. 3/5 9) panacotta: nice but bit more watery than expected. 4/5 10) marble tea cake: it was OK. 4/5 11) macaron: I had a chocolate flavour one and it was very nice. 5/5 Service was also really cordial and professional. We all agreed we would like to come back one day but would prefer if they had a few more savouries than sweets next time.

We went to Firewater Grille for their high tea as our second choice. Our booking experience before we'd even arrived was fantastic - the staff were more than happy to accommodate our dietary requirements and discussed the menu with us beforehand. The restaurant is very quiet during high tea on a Sunday. We were only one of two parties in and we got a booth which made it feel more intimate. Our waitress, Lina, was wonderful! Very attentive, friendly and helpful. The food itself was delicious - sandwiches, goats cheese tartlet, gaspacho, arancini, scones and a variety of sweets. Every single item that I tried was better than the one before it. I wasn't disappointed by any of the dishes. Plus, unlimited tea! For just the high tea, it was $45 per person, which is no more expensive than any other high tea I've had, and considering the quality of the venue and food, I'd say it was definitely worth the money.
