Straits Café (Rendezvous Hotel Perth Scarborough) — Restaurant in Western Australia

First time eating here that isn't Christmas day lunch which the food was ok but could have been better, the staff though were friendly and helpful and it's just nice not to have to cook and can just relax. Now as for Saturday night, the restaurant looked absolutely beautiful with nice views from inside looking out to the ocean but unfortunately that's all it has going for it because the food didn't reflect it and been as it wasn't Christmas i was hoping the food to be better. We ordered the sourdough with herb butter, the bread was toasted and just didn't taste fresh at all, the truffle mash potato tasted like the instant mash from a packet you can buy from Coles, my husbands steak was an absolute joke all you got was a piece of steak and what looked like a few corn chips with cheese between each one for $56, if it was an actual meal the price may have been a bit more acceptable but not just what was on the plate, the speghettatone i enjoyed but even though it had 3 different sauces in it, it didn't have much flavour, the semifreddo was the best dish of the night and i did enjoy it although i wish their was more of it. The staff were friendly but only came over once for another round of drinks and considering the restaurant was empty from the time we got there to the time we left i would of thought the food would have came out quicker. Not a restaurant i would...

Went for lunch in a group of 10 or so, meals were universally bad. most had grilled fish, which came as thin fillets which were dry and tough, undercooked chips. i had the salt and chilli squid which was (ironically) unsalted as far as i could tell, though to be fair I only ate one piece because it was so disgusting. I don't know what they coated it with but it was some sort of tasteless gritty spongy sandy gluey paste? I don't know, it was utterly foul. the salad it was served on was ok, as long as you don't want much from salad in the way of ingredients (two kinds of cabbage) and not much dressing. i wouldhave sent it back if anyone had ever come back to our table once the food was delivered but no one ever did. I was completely infuriated by the whole thing becasue its such a nice venue with a view though the windows need a clean. The waitress was surly and abrupt, who seemed a bit shocked to be asked for things. The meal came with an indifferent SSB or a choice of two reds and two beers. I asked for a sauvignon blanc and would hva been prepared to pay for it but ws not given the choice to do so was simply told no you cant have it with a distinct air of irritation. Shame on you! What a missed opportunity the whole thing is! They should just knock the whole eyesore down and...

Went this morning for breakfast and had a 9.45am booking, upon arrival the staff member at the desk straight away said food will only be available till 10.30am but you may sit here for longer, I was shocked, if this was the case they should stop bookings at 9.30am, as we barely had time to sit down we quickly had to get serving on the buffet breakfast before they took it away, the breakfast food wasn't the best clearly it had been sitting there since early breakfast, most of the hot food was all dry and there was no topping up, for example the pour yourself juices were empty it took me 5mins pouring try to fill a glass, the toaster was not working you had to put your bread on 20 times for it to start toasting, if that wasn't bad enough they started packing up things at 10.15am the cups at the coffee station were put away, lights in cabinet with yoghurt were turned off, in total a terrible experience, I believe they should not charge full price for late bookings cause we didn't have access to a full fresh buffet, my opinion avoid Straits cafe for breakfast or make sure you book an early booking. I strongly do...
