I thought their tom yum lacked a variety of vege's, mine was mostly mushrooms and considering I am not a huge fan of mushrooms it was a bit of a let down - that being said the broth was lovely and chilli so I think I would get it again next time but ask for more vege, less mushrooms. Missed out on the views as there were only 2 of us :( The food overall was nice, fresh, full of flavour etc Service was exceptional, the staff here are just lovely, you feel like part of their family, they always smile, always asking if they can get you anything else etc.

Went here after seeing someone elses review - the food was delicious. I had the larb salad, I am not normally one to get salads from a Thai restaurant but wanted something lighter, it was lovely and will certainly be tempted to try more Thai salads in the future. We will be back here to try their other dishes as there was so much to choose from

I find the Windsor can be a bit pretentious, we prefer to sit outside as it's more relaxing, inside is quite fancy pants. In terms or the food, well we found it expensive for the size. I had a pasta dish which just tasted way to strong of mushroom, I mean I like mushrooms but woar. Husbands steak was nothing extraordinary and their rare was more medium

Well isn't this place a little gem in the middle of not much! Our friend lives nearby and took us here the other night for a meal as she loves it. I had a vege tom yum for entree which had so many yummy fresh, crunchy vege's - delicious. There were also spring rolls on the table and there were 4 in the serve and they were very big! For mains we had chilli chicken stir fry and basil beef - both were really yummy. I thought the chicken chilli was better as it had a better range of accompanying veges. Also ordered the vegetarian drunken noodles - again a huge serve that is hard to get through. I do wish they would leave rice at the table for you though, I am not a fan of restaurants who charge $xx amount for rice per person but then only serve it to you once, I much prefer they leave a certain amount per person at your table. BYO alcohol - whoops we didn't realise! They also deliver and get this - it's only an extra $2!!! Wish I lived in one of their delivery suburbs. Quite nice inside as well, well looked after, friendly staff, service could have been a bit better but minor minor issue! value for money = excellent for size of meals. Yum Yum - thanks Bua Siam

Pleasantly surprised! To be honest I wasn't expecting too much when our friends invited us for a meal here. However the food was great, I had a beef and guiness pie (which I think was on the specials menu) and it was so yummy, crunchy pastry, lots of meat, not too much gravy and lovely creamy mash on the side. I was a decent size too - even though I could have eaten more. We sat out on the verandah part which was also really nice.

I had received very good feedback from others about this restaurant but I can't say my experience was the same, it was ok but I was expecting more. For starters, I still think it odd that they won't serve you water to your table? You have to go up to the water station and get it yourself...odd. We were seated outside so unfortunately got eaten by mosquitoes, some zappers or something may have helped. Not much vego option on the menu. The people serving us were nice, food was reasonable but like I said, I expected more. Maybe because of the good feedback I had really high expectations. Anyway, in no rush to eat here again but would give it another go if I had no where else I wanted to go first

Good for a meal after a round of golf, prices are a bit high and the menu doesn't have much on there that appeals to me, I generally choose from 2-3 things maximum. I find food can be hit and miss depending on how busy it is, for example we went when it was busy the the food just looked sloppy (ie bad presentation), the lettuce on my wrap looked old with the brown bits etc. Another time I went and it was quite and the meal was much better so I think they had more time to take care with prep etc. The restaurant is in need of a face lift I think but it's still a nice relaxing place to go whether you play golf or not, I like it because it's reasonably local

This review is for Broken Hill Hotel, Victoria Park WA

Tried this pub a few times and would rate each one as average. I get frustrated every time that my steak isn't cooked how I like it - medium. It always comes out to over-cooked, the last time I asked for medium rare hoping it would be medium but nope, it was rare. I am not sure why I keep ordering steak (3 times now!) when I know it doesn't come out right! My husband had the burger and it was ok, I think they made it before they even started my steak as parts had gone soggy. Service is ok

Enjoyed a work breaskfast here on a Sunday. Had to pre-book and they were happy to hold for our group of 20. Coffee's were lovely, you can't beat the view. Food was really good and reasonably priced based on the location. Food for our group came out pretty much together which was nice, people didn't have to wait ages for others etc. Parking can be a pain, one of the group got broken in to (:() but that's not the restaurants fault

Approximate cost: $35

Actually loved this restaurant, we stayed nearby at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Perth but decided we didn't want to eat at the hotel so ventured out for a walk. This place was so cheap, got a seat straight away and the staff were lovely. Hubby had the salt and pepper squid and being a bit of a seafood fan he is normally judgemental but had only good stuff to report. We had entree and main and it cost us about $25 each!
