    The restaurant is very nice and the service staff is amazing. One of the best I have experienced so far in Perth. So keen to details, polite and friendly. The food is outstanding from start to finish. I have nothing but praise about this place. I was there for a staff Christmas lunch and everything was great :) well done and keep up the great work!

    We attended the Bottomless Botanicals yesterday. The service was impeccable and our servers were consistently on the ball topping up our champagne, taking our cocktail orders and making sure everything was okay. The food was delicious, our drinks were perfect and the decor and atmosphere was also beautiful and welcoming. Highly recommended.

    We booked a Chef's Table Menu for a friend's 40th Birthday. The ambiance on a Monday night was quite relaxing, especially after work. The staff were busy and quite aloof. Our starters came in a bit late, then after about 35 minutes, the mains came out. The meals were great, we particularly loved their Kale salad, and pesto gnocchi. The slow cooked lamb leg/shank was very soft and warm, perfect for the winter weather. Though we wished there were more sauce or gravy added to them. Overall a pleasant experience, the only thing was the food delay as well as the leak from the roof that leaked straight on my side of the table. We told the staff but they didnt really do anything about it. Good thing they had a vase with flowers, so we just used that as a bucket to collect the dripping rainwater from above. Also wished that the staff would smile more often.

    We just had our wedding at The Stables and it was fantastic, the venue was beautiful, it held all of our guests perfectly, the staff were incredible and everyone raved about the food. We have no regrets having our wedding there - everything under one roof was such a bonus. Thank-you so much for having us and contributing to our special day.

    Great place for drinks and maybe a feed. Even though there’s plenty of room with an upstairs that’s just as large as downstairs (inside and out) the after work rush can make it pretty packed (when there were no restrictions) but it makes for an enjoyable atmosphere. Staff are always awesome especially the front cafe staff in the mornings! Great team, great coffee! Yet to attend an event for LIVE at the basement but the area seems like it would be very enjoyable and intimate with the performers.

    What a wonderful old building with lots of character. Had dinner with large group of friends. Great food and atmosphere. Can be noisy downstairs but much quieter upstairs. Quite a large range of food offered. Chicken salad was amazing.

    This venue is the amazing! The staff are all highly professional - special shout out to Riccado who went out of his way to provide exceptional service. DJ was rocking the dance floor which was filled with a fun crowd of all ages. Keep up the great work guys.

    A nice bar and restaurant with the options of indoor/outdoor - colder nights they crank the fire place and its so nice and toastie! Service is good here, if you plan to come for a feed, I would recommend to book ahead. Lovely array of food, though it was busy, wait time for our meals was good (within 20-30mins) we opted for the arancini, pan fried gnocchi, grilled fish and a side of buffalo cauliflower! Well presented and delicious. Plenty of parking options, just a short walk away, and around the corner we parked at ‘His majestys’ car park. Hope this helps!

    Ok so dining in the dark was a fun experience and worth doing for the experience. However if you're going for amazing food to spend time dreaming about when you can go again. Its not that. The foods decent. The real reason to go here is the dining in the dark otherwise there's better down the street. Cocktails were nothing to write home about. Decent service. Very busy.

    A must visit when I'm in Perth. Great food. Lucky for me I'm here to enjoy Taco Tuesday. $8 tacos. Sampled the barramundi and chicken kraage to start with. Barramundi worth a repeat followed by the slow cooked lamb taco but this was $10...no complaints though, worth it for the deliciousness. I'm sure the pork taco was equally delicious....unfortunately no more room in my stomach!

    Lunch bottomless $75 package.🍸 Gave it the 2 rating based on the lack of flavour with food, unorganised on serving and timing. The staff are kind but looked overwhelmed and confused. We had to consistently put our arms up to get waiters attention to request for drinks and for our food beside dessert. There was lack in flavour when it came to the food beside the cous cous salad. I've paid cheaper for bottomless and been surprised with service and magnificent dishes.

    9 of us for Bottomless botanical. Great value . All the staff very helpful and professional. Preferred last year's menu more plus felt portions let it down a little this time otherwise highly recommended and fab dj music!

  • 2/5 Sin D. 2 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    Cocktails with the bottomless brunch have very low alcohol in them. Not one person was even tipsy after many drinks over 2hrs. Good services and atmosphere, I just wouldn’t recommend doing the bottomless brunch.

  • 3/5 Claire B. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this bar but very disappointed with the bar food. Cauli wings undercooked and sauce was powdery, popcorn chicken was over cooked and very little chicken, lamb sliders didn’t even look like lamb. Chips were good! Complained to the staff and just got a sorry.

  • 5/5 Steven M. 3 years ago on Google
    The best meat dishes in the whole of Australia!

  • 2/5 Jeff M. 3 years ago on Google
    Rude English bar maid with tats rather abruptly told me to move from the upstairs bar along the restaurant if I wanted to get served. Odd since the place was empty but didn’t think much of it, got a few beers and joined my friends. Bit later two of my mates coincidentally remarked on the rudeness of the same person. Otherwise a nice enough place. Although beers and bar food are a bit expensive.

  • 3/5 Dan I. 2 years ago on Google
    Music was loud, food tasted good but unfortunately that’s where it stops the service was sparse and extremely slow. A lot of staff walking around and only 2 at the bar. Wait times were too long

  • 5/5 Andy C. 2 years ago on Google
    A lot of restaurants - often very good ones - are drowning in staff who run round doing not very much. Bumping into each other, looking busy. I came here on a genuinely busy evening; 40 or 50 people in for dinner. 1 amazing barman. 1 amazing waiter. All over it. So refreshing to see these guys at work. Delicious food. Great atmosphere and brilliant service. Cheers.

  • 5/5 Bryan T. 3 years ago on Google
    Went here for our work xmas party.. very quick and very polite staff and had some really tasty food supplied so was a great night all round 😊

  • 1/5 Ryan M. 3 years ago on Google
    We had our christmas party at stables. Table of 11. Extremely dissapointing i have been there a few occasions before and the food and service was above average. NOT TONIGHT. The food was dismal we had a the brisket among other dishes and it tasted like it was re heated in the microwave. We were told last drinks at 9:10 pm. I don't understand why the stables bar was empty at 8pm on the night before christmas eve. We should have known better. I wont be going back thats for sure. Also the the red wine bottles qere served at room temp on a 40c day. Wasted bottles of wine

  • 5/5 Marnie D. 1 year ago on Google
    Cozy even on a cold day. Picked the first four items off the entree menu and it was heaps of food for two. Chicken bites were the favourite

  • 4/5 Ken A. 1 year ago on Google
    PSA: Stables do 10% off your morning coffee if you buy minimum of 3 coffees (buy for your colleagues - see photos). Was my first time trying coffee from here the other week and I found it was pretty good, and great value. But we got ordered larges and they were quite weak - I think they only put 1 shot in it…I’ll be adding an extra shot next time for sure.

  • 5/5 Angela O. 1 year ago on Google
    Thanks Stables for yet another amazing day having the Bottomless Botanicals Brunch. As usual the service and food were beyond expectations. Can wait for next seasons Menu. We will all be coming again.

  • 2/5 Grace A. 9 months ago on Google
    Celebrated a friend’s birthday dinner here on a Friday night, not satisfied with the ambiance of the place due to the dimmed lighting and the staff were not as helpful and friendly. Maybe the ambiance is different depending on the time and day, and i hope the staff’s mood is better too. Food was delicious, but probably not the ideal place to celebrate a friend’s birthday.

  • 3/5 What would Dennis d. 11 months ago on Google
    First time here, I cannot fault the service and efficiency of the wait staff. My water was topped up often and service was fast for a Friday in Perth including the food service from order. A very friendly lot and thankyou for that. The main menu options are more meat focussed with only a couple of mains that are not I chose the bar sides such as popcorn chicken and a simple side of chips. The chips were soggy even leaning out the lovely enamel bowl, the popcorn chicken was nice but a bit dry. I was not drinking,and there are not a lot of non alcoholic drink options but realistically most would not be here worrying about that. The lighting is too dark at the tables for the evening IMO. Its a nice place, thanks again.

  • 5/5 Martin P. 10 months ago on Google
    If you’re looking for a great venue to hold a function with attentive friendly staff and great menu then look no further. Had a great birthday celebration here in a private cellar room and couldn’t be happier. Well Done guys ….

  • 5/5 Susan G. 10 months ago on Google
    Booked for a table of 10 before a midweek show at His Majesty's. The service was friendly and efficient which was commendable considering our large table. The food came out quickly and was delicious and they had a good wine list ... overall, very happy and will definitely recommend.

  • 4/5 Justin C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service. Friendly bar staff. Wasn't too crowded. Good atmosphere and the fries were crispy and fresh. Pretty good selection of on tap drinks.

  • 1/5 Carole D. 4 months ago on Google
    Worst experience ever. After placing our food order, the waiter who served us had a fresh bleeding wound on his hand, making it extremely unpleasant for us to eat. Hygiene precautions were clearly not observed, as a waiter with such a significant injury should have been sent home, regardless of how busy the establishment was. Additionally, the use of harsh chemicals to clean the tables and counter resulted in burns on my elbows, and now I have wounds. This is highly concerning since I don't know how my arms would have looked if I had been posing all my arms skin on the bar counter. I believe this bar should be closed if they do not adhere to professional standards. People should not suffer injuries due to the staff's lack of experience and disregard for safety.

  • 4/5 Alison G. 3 years ago on Google
    We had our work Christmas lunch at the Stables. Most of us had the fixed menu which was good value for money. The drinks were typically Perth prices though. We had to go upstairs to eat - not sure if there is lift for those that fine stairs difficult

    Went for the "dine in the dark" expedience here. It was so romantic and lovely. The food was so good. Very friendly staff. Dinner was in candle lights. Blindfold to use if you wanted to. Couple right behind us proposed to his partner at the end, which was amazing to see it happen live. I liked everything about the place. Just the tables were set up too close to each other, would have been better if had more room in between. Generally, let very happy.

  • 4/5 Trish 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered: Salmon, Pork Belly, Gnocchi, Fried Chicken & a side of chips. Everything was delicious except the fried chicken couldve been better. It was lacking in a bit of flavour and probably salt. Would definitely come back though. We did go on a Friday night so it was fully booked and quite loud. The only other thing to mention is the restaurant is upstairs - there were no signs when we got there so was a bit confusing as downstairs is the bar area.

  • 5/5 Brendan W. 3 years ago on Google
    A small bar tucked away in a alley in Perth that proved to be a hiddem gem. We attended "Dine in the Dark" event in which we were treated to a 3 course meal far exceeding the price we payed. Our table was waiting on by Esther who was genuine, up beat and a genuine pleasure to be around. I highly reccomend it for any event or casual drink, it caters to both crowds brilliantly! Stay awsome guys!

  • 2/5 Sian W. 2 years ago on Google
    Ummm 11-50 for two mouthfuls of wine and the most conceited waitress I’ve ever met. Definitely not paying 18-50 for a “large” glass. Were going to have a meal here but definitely not now. Disgraceful.

  • 5/5 Savannah M. 3 years ago on Google
    Attended "dining in the dark". Atmosphere was so lovely and welcoming. Staff were super friendly and very helpful when it comes to finding your drinks on the table! Food was very nice tasting. Can't say I know what it looked like but I assume it was well presented haha. Overall very nice dinner especially for something different. Highly recommended both the dining experience and the host venue.

  • 5/5 Kerry P. 2 years ago on Google
    Do yourself a favour and do the bottomless lunch! Food and cocktails are fab and if you're lucky enough to get Harry serving you you'll have a very friendly, attentive waiter. Made our experience very enjoyable 🙂

    Just experienced the Bottomless Botanicals on Saturday afternoon, it was even better than I expected! Very generous with the cocktails and prosecco, you really get your moneys worth, the food was delicious and big portions (vegetarian annd vegan option was lovely too). The service we had was also wonderful, super friendly and welcoming and always coming over to ensure we were topped up regularly! The venue itself is stunning and the tunes were banging! I will definitely be back and recommending to others.

  • 5/5 Yvonne M. 6 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    We had no idea what to expect with the Botanicals Bottomless Brunch when we booked. It was a recommendation from my daughter. I requested an outdoor table for 15 people and was so pleased when the requested was listened to and granted. What a fabulous afternoon we had, couldn't fault a thing. The quality of the food, the service and the atmosphere was fantastic. Special thank you to our waiter who was amazing. Will definitely be back.
