On a holiday from Canada, I was very disappointed when I visited this restraint last year bu t I heard that things had changed so I gave it another try. Now the attentiveness of the host/manager and the delicious food , are worthy of the magnificent view.My big test was the clam chowder. It was comparative to a hearty tasty... More

My title almost says it all, the service was slow and rude as well however, it's in a really nice location with lovely views for what that's worth. More

We had a voucher for dinner here which we had booked 4 months ago. When we called 5 hours before our booking to enquiry whether we could add one extra guest to the table they said they wouldn't honour our voucher at all. The new management apparently don't honour previous management's agreements. But the have no intention of telling you... More

I have been all around the world eating and drinking and nothing compares to this place. I enjoyed myself so much I was compelled to write a review! This has never happened before! Whilst the food is lacking in a few little areas, the service and cocktails are amazing. SERVICE: The manager looks as if he has just finished high... More

I was hesitant to return to The View after a disappointing experience a few months ago but was convinced to go back by some friends who said that the place had drastically changed for the better. We couldn't fault the service or the food and it must be the best place in Perth to watch the sun go down. As... More

The view from the restaurant was beautiful but do book and specify an outside table. I didn't, thinking that I got in early enough so would be put there. It was very hot and quite still the night we went and the booth we sat at did not have any airflow so we were not comfortable there. We asked to... More

This restaurants books must be an absolute laugh to any accountant. Its a wonder they even open their doors night after night. Apart from the beautiful sunset view....there is nothing here to be enjoyed. The staff have either have no previous skills or training and also no guidance from the management. With the time periods between and just order drinks... More

As with most of the other reviews we were also disappointed with this restaurant! The only thing it has going for it is the view!!! The food was tasteless! We used our entertainment voucher which saved a lot on the bill, we would have been even more disappointed if we had paid full price! More

Not often I would write a review that is negative however I thought I would warn others to spend their money somewhere else. It seems that many have preceded me! Absolutely beautiful spot/location spoiled by apathetic staff. THis restaurant coUld be something really special, but only if it had new owners and staff! The wait time for everything was excessive.... More
