An extra star for the wine selection and food.
Decided to stay in Perth on a flexible trip for this restaurant, booked a table beforehand of course. The restaurant clearly allows 1-person bookings but put me away right in front of the entrance door, next to the wardrobe, in an area not at all resembling the ambiance they advertise in photos and praise on their website. I voiced my disappointment in the beginning but still decided to order and had a very friendly and nice time afterwards, however, when multiple groups left and I asked if I could still have my dessert at one of the now free tables in the actual area of the restaurant, I was told that "that would cost extra time to clean the tables and so they are not doing that". Very sad! Booked a table like everyone else and even agreed to a phone call of the restaurant asking me to change the booking to an hour earlier so that they could accommodate more people. I do normally not often post references but now felt my duty to do so (paid...
Read moreWe were highly recommended to visit this restaurant by our hotel. Absolutely fantastic food and service by the first two staff, especially the first staff who patiently assisted us with the ordering of dishes and wine. They were 5 star service staff. Though we waited for our dessert that took at least 15-20mins we didn't mind as we chatted about our wonderful trip.

Our trip to Scotland was perfect until this evening. We've visited Scotland many times and definitely, this is not Scottish...
Read moreHad a meal here on a recent trip to Perth. I personally felt the pigeon was overdone for me and I also ordered the venison which was slightly overdone.....the pigeon dish for me didnt work as the flavours did not do justice for the pigeon....the pigeon and venison were very underseasoned too.
The venison ragu was full of flavour though and was the highlight of the venison dish!
Service was prompt but I noticed no potato with the venison main and asked the server if they would recommend "mash" ..however was told "just depends on your appetite" which I noticed was the retort to another customer who asked the same as myself ...i was not advised that the mash was enough to serve x 2. If I was told this I would not have ordered same as I felt it was way too much mash (was very good though! ) for one person.
The wine selection is very good and the mocktail I ordered was fitting for summer with...
