So excited to finally get a sushi bar at Portside. I like the idea of either sitting at the bar or at private tables for a bit more intimacy. The selection is good and you can order any toppings or fillings that are not on the train. The prices are a little higher than I would like but the location more than makes up for this.

Approximate cost: $30

This is my monthly treat to catch up with friends or when my niece and nephew are visiting. So many delicious treats to choose from but always get my staple Mexican Spicy Hot Chocolate. Totally indulged on the Chocolate Pizza with a Crunch. The staff are always happy and friendly and I just love spending a rainy afternoon warming up with these chocolate treats.

Have been to this new venue at Portside twice now and love it. Was the perfect location for a casual first date and also catching up with friends over a long lunch. Especially enjoyed the Baja Fish Taco, pulled pork in baked burrito salad, char grilled corn cobs and can't wait to go again to try the mexican chipotle ribs and chocolate nachos. I give this a thumbs up and highly recommend it to everyone.

First visit for a half hour massage, head, neck, shoulders and back. They fit me in almost straight away without a booking, the room was quiet, very relaxing music, skilled and well trained staff, and I left feeling great. The machine wasnt working so they couldnt print a receipt at the time but actually rang a few days later to provide me with a newly printed receipt. Can't wait to go back again for some more pampering.

Have become a regular here for lunch several times a week. Although a little on the expensive side, the ladies are always happy to take my order, the dishes are freshly prepared and great serving sizes, the atmosphere is inviting and social but you can also enjoy a quiet meal at the same time. This place is very popular so get in early. Just wish they stayed open later in the day and for dinners.

Had a great night out with the girls. Food was a little expensive but thoroughly enjoyable and something for everyone, especially some of the ladies with particular diets. Live entertainment and a chance to get up and sing and dance along made for a great night out.

Had a thoroughly enjoyable meal with a group of friends there last night. The menu has something for everyone with a clever box of explanations for each dish. Good prices, great tastes, service was a little poor, the girl didn't have a clue about the ordering system or items on the menu, but we didn't mind once the food arrived. Can't wait to go back again.

Approximate cost: $30.00

This is a regular on my dining list, always friendly and prompt service, and very popular. As usual the restaurant was almost full despite the terrible weather outside. Great long menu with choices to suit all palates, my special favourites are pad thai prawns and hot chill beef. love it.

Have just stayed here for a month and loved it. The rooms were maintained regularly, any small faults identified were attended to immediately by the very friendly handyman, the ladies at reception were simply lovely and so very helpful with information and recommendations on where to go and what to eat. the facilities were good for a long term stay, small quiet gym and lap pool, 20 minutes walk to the city and beautiful pathways to wander along the Swan river. Couldnt have asked for a better place to stay.

Approximate cost: $10,000
