    Food is good, the cauliflower dish is delicious! Drinks are a miss and arrived after we got some of our food, they look fantastic they just don't taste it. Service wasn't great as no one greeted us without having to be waved down after a long wait or brought anything for us to eat with, instead just dropped dishes off one by one on our used/dirty table top from the previous guests and walked away. We got up and got our own cutlery and plates from the front reception area. After the meal I was keen to move on and get another drink elsewhere. I'm glad we visited, this was on my to-do list for ages but I won't rush back

    Had my birthday dinner at sweetwater rooftop bar lastnight for the silk roads Turkish event. All of the staff were great and had absolutely amazing customer service! Big big thumbs up to the head chef billy and the rest of the kitchen crew for such amazing food, most of it was food I would never order but now I wish it was on the regular menu all year round so I could get it all again! The flat bread, with fennel and lemon balm and the braised beef cheeks with Hummus, Turkish bread and pomegranate were my absolute favourites! All big portions and amazing flavours! Shout out to all the team at Sweetwater, will deffinately be back again soon ❤️

    Sweetwaters OK…..so 3rd experience dining at this location. Still has FAILED to let me down, has totally hooked me and my dining partners into what a marvellous dining experience Sweetwaters is. “This is not my first rodeo”, I am no stranger to eating. You don’t get a body like mine by being afraid to eat something different. Sweetwaters offers a great range of dishes all exquisitely presented and accompanied by the most sublime garnishes and sauces, all perfectly complimenting each other. We went for the share plates, 10 different dishes between 4 of us, a perfect amount and mix of tastes. Even eating some of the same dishes again invoked a feeling of wonder and awe at the presentation and flavours presented. It was again a very memorable and delightful lunch visit, if school pick up time wasn’t beckoning it could have easily morphed into great Friday evening. There will be more visits!

    Tofu was average needed more sauce or condiments. Dan Dan noodles were incredible. Larb was delicious and an unusual take on the traditional way. (But if ordering both Dan Dan noodles and larb it's the same meat and flavours so order one) Chicken and waterchestnut dumplings bland and underwhelming. The service however was shocking and they weren't even busy. Waited 15 minutes for a cocktail menu and then she came for drinks orders, another 25 minutes of waiting to be served again, and 15 minutes for someone to acknowledge our existence to just pay. The food came fast however.

    Went to Sweetwater yesterday for their $45PP Yum Cha lunch (captured some dishes), absolutely delicious. 10/10 recommend. 👌🏼 Also 2 different amazing cocktails. I’ll definitely be going back. Food, drinks, staff and atmosphere. 5 ⭐️

    Excellent. Interesting location, but once you reach the roof, nice views around Fremantle. The food for dinner was really very very good. Some of the best flavours we have had in Fremantle. Wine choice is good and the service is efficient and professional. Would recommend this place to anyone.

    We had a surprise 'special' Birthday in the sunset lounge section for 15 ladies. It could not have been a more perfect set up for us to celebrate by enjoy the drinks, amazing food, the service and the atmosphere. Lois helped us with the ordering of the food from the menu so the courses came spaced out. The food was delicious. Many of us are foodies and we loved it. We had a magical night. Big thank you to the staff for being so accommodating. We were too busy eating and talking to take photos of the dishes. Lots of beautiful surprises throughout the night.

    This is not the same place that it used to be. It has lost some of its sparkle for a number of reasons. A couple small dishes (like prawn dumplings) were good but overall we came away feeling this place has a lot of work to do to restore its name as a quality establishment. As to specific food items: The Chinese Greens - these were overdone and lacked the crispness one expects. Massaman Beef - this lacked the freshly cook feel. Tasted like it had been reheated in a microwave. Dan Dan Noodles - these did not taste freshly cooked. The credentials in the kitchen need to be evaluated as it didn’t represent value for money. Table service took an absent approach rather than high interest. But I want to acknowledge that one staff member seemed to be on training and was obviously trying hard to get it right. We shared our views with management and were encouraged to give them another try when the new menu starts. Because I have had such good experiences here in the past, I likely will give it a try but they have a way to go. First time visitors could easily be turned off so I really hope they pull it off with the new menu as the location has great potential.

    Sublime food, great location, and the staff are welcoming and considerate. On the night I visited, we were hit by a local blackout, so was unable to return to my room on the floor below. The staff ensured I was looked after and was offered beverages and other services in the time it took the apartment manager local time to get to site.

    We had such a great night. We ordered few different things to see what were the best dish and we impressed with everything. The service was also excellent

    Have to say I was so looking forward to coming to this place. Utterly disappointed with the food. Karage chicken was totally over cooked and not very hot the chicken was dry. The pancakes was a plate of grease and the Mongolian Sticky Beef which was the best out of the bad bunch was very chewy. The chocolate fudge cake was not fudge cake a block of frozen chocolate . This place is priced on the high side and you would expect better quality of food. It was a Friday afternoon and was very quiet. On the upside a very nice venue but certainly will not be back.

    The vegetarian options were delicious - especially the wok tossed edamame was so delightful and the tempura eggplant was amazing 😍 the staff were beyond friendly and so efficient and the service was very quick! Table ordering is a great feature and the happy hour cocktails were pleasantly delightful to drink and also look at! Definitely coming back for another meal and drinks very very soon 😇 P.S. the pricing of the food was every affordable and during happy hour the discounts were unbelievable! Very very impressed!

    Love this space, it’s a rooftop bar that has beautiful views in summer and is kept so toasty and warm in winter. The cocktails are delicious, I recommend the one with coconut foam on top. I’ve had many dinners here and have had a few birthday events here, the staff are always friendly and accommodating and their gluten free options are amazing. If you’re going for dinner I recommend trying the chef selection for $65pp. It covers most of the menu and there is so much food. Guarantee you won’t regret it.

    I had high expectations but unfortunately we got disappointed at the very beginning, walking in and witnessing lots of drunk young people including one girl throwing up into a bucket. The cocktail choices during Happy Hour 5-6pm (between $12 - $16) we’re okay, but not from the best quality. The coffee with almond mild tasted sweet due to the milk choice (I assume sweetened milk) and the fake plants covered in dust. The fairy lights and view during sunset is nice.

    Ordered by Uber Eats and it was a complete rip off. The food was tasty which is why I give it 3 stars but the value for money is terrible. Perhaps this is better dining in but we ordered 3 dishes for $65 (excluding delivery) and received a lot less than what the price suggests. The dishes were also packaged in foil lined paper bags so when we received, we had to dump it on a plate, making it a soggy mess. Definitely not worth it.

    What an amazing find! Great place for fusion Asian food and great music. Did I say it has a great view too. Omg, breathtaking. Highly recommended to Asian food lovers and adventurous foodies.

    Amazing restaurant, food, vibe and outstanding customer service from the team. Special shout-out to Trav, Tayla, Jaz and Vish who make every visit special. Always an amazing experience ❤️

    Such a great spot to catch the sunset, looking out over the Port. Service was fantastic and we loved using the app for ordering. Food and drinks were delicious, best take on a 'Pina Colada'.

  • 4/5 Anna S. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was amazing but service was a bit slow but the reason was new chefs and the manager made up for it which was nice. The restaurant is well decorated

  • 5/5 Matt S. 4 months ago on Google
    Food was fantastic - delicious, flowed from kitchen and well presented. Staff were incredible - everyone was very friendly, professional and made the night run smoothly. They took the time to check the booking notes and reviewed with us our dietary requirements. The menu range is extensive, we tried the ‘Feed Me’ option which was the chefs selections. The entrees left us quite full, dinner was great and dessert was exceptional. Overall a great experience and look forward to going back.

  • 5/5 Paul M. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited Sweetwater after reading reviews. We weren't disappointed, the food was of a very high standard particularly the Duck & Lychee curry but in all honesty all the food was amazing. Great menu with alot of choice can't wait to visit again.

    We stopped here once again. Always delicious vegan food (and many non-vegan) and great staff. Excellent ambience. We will be back again.

  • 5/5 SJN 1 year ago on Google
    We loved everything about our visit to Sweetwater ! The host that greeted us and served us was lovely and very welcoming. The food was fantastic - full of flavour and the presentation was great. Happy Hour menu is good , however it would be great to see more cocktail options on the happy hour menu. There were 4 of us for happy hour, we ordered one of each from the shared plate menu (16 shared plates !) and had 3 cocktails each - total cost $272 … Happy Hour at the Sweetwater is definitely worth a visit !!

  • 5/5 Tamara W. 2 years ago on Google
    We went there for some cocktails and their “feed me” menu, which includes 6 small dishes, 3 main dishes and 2 desserts. Food was absolutely amazing and incredible value, we left stuffed. Service was also impeccable, very attentive but not pushy. We also enjoyed that dishes arrived “in groups of 3-4”. Will definitely be back.

    I had been wanting to come here for a while, I went on a Sunday and didn’t realise you had to book, the name being rooftop bar I thought it would be more of a bar. The staff however were able to accommodate us. We ordered dumplings as we are both dumping fans, but we were kind of disappointed, the dumplings were dry and lacked flavour, the skin was chewy, the seafood ones were the best because of the sauce but the ones that had the peanut sauce on them tasted like peanut butter, that’s all you could taste. I was going to give 3 stars but the cocktails however were amazing! Some of the best cocktails we’ve had and it was happy hour so of course we had to try as many as we could. I don’t usually like pina coladas but I’ve been converted from the cocktail with coconut cream. I will be back again for the cocktails not so much the food.

  • 5/5 Grace L. 2 years ago on Google
    First time visiting which was for my birthday and definitely my new favourite cocktail bar in Perth, Was gifted a glass of prosecco for my birthday and the cocktails were amazing, we visited during Happy hour so i tired a few cocktails, In the clouds was definitely the best! Had a few bits of food between us and the chicken was the best chicken bits we’ve found!

  • 4/5 Candice S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great setting, modern and stylish setting. Food was good, decent portion but the batter on the eggplant left us feeling a bit off. Over all the drinks list and view are nice and would try again

  • 5/5 Ebony S. 3 years ago on Google
    Been here a couple times thus far and never been disappointed with the food. The vegan feed me menu was delicious with the cauliflower curry being my favorite. The cocktails are good too

  • 4/5 Philip K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, good selection of cocktails, fresh and yummy all round. Only suggestion I would offer is a few more pib snacks as well. The Asian banquet on the pub side isn't suited to everyone's tastes all the time.

  • 5/5 Erin K. 2 years ago on Google
    Flavours were amazing. The yum cha had so many dishes we walked away completely full. Very good value for money. The ambience was also great. Great service.

  • 4/5 Melissa T. 3 years ago on Google
    We did the Hanging Yum Cha with Teapot cocktails. Delightful. Service and setting as lovely as ever. They seemed under the pump with service running a little slow, hence the 4 stars over 5.

  • 5/5 Caitlyn K. 2 years ago on Google
    Recently diagnosed as coeliac and it’s been so frustrating having only one or two options on the menu when I ate out. Sweet water has an entire menu dedicated to gluten free foods, it was amazing! Everything was delicious and I felt comfortable that it was coeliac friendly. We ordered the fried cauliflower, sticky lamb ribs, beef massaman, XO noodles and the roasted white choclate parfait. Will be back :)
