The entrance is amazing as if your walking into another world. The dining area is well laid out and so modern. The food was just beautiful and delicious with so much to chose from even if your sitting at the bar. Unless your rich go for a special occasion like birthday or anniversary. I think the stakes are over price... More

The great thing about Rockpool is it brings the Sydney standard for fine dining to Perth. Hopefully this will force the other Perth Restaurants to lift their game to the same level. The serving staff at Rockpool are excellent, very well trained. Always attentive, but not 'in your face. The sommelier really knows hist stuff, and you can confidently rely... More

Had a wonderful meal here. It does cost a lot but as a rare treat its a great evening out. The service was very prompt and friendly and the steak I had was cooked to perfection! Very nice!

Overrated, pretentious, stupidly expensive yet listening to the self involved sommelier's name dropping was worthy of a cabaret floor show,

I had been sooo excited about going to the infamous Rockpool and we had to book so far in advance that the excitement was building, anticipating a beautiful meal at a spectacular restaurant - but it was none of those things. Very boring atmosphere, pretty much like a modern Coles cafeteria. Service was pretty good from one waitress but poor... More

I've eaten at Rockpool in Sydney, but way back - around 2004 - and have most of Neil Perry's cook books (highly recommended). Neil Perry is Neil Perry, right? Well not here. It's another example of where a chef's brilliance does not shine when transferred elsewhere, at least so far from 'home'. The food was good by any standard but... More

Took my mother in law for dinner, the service (being in the hospo trade and hyper critical) is nothing but flawless, polished, well executed, can't say enough, this is not a restaurant it's an experience. Service is attentive without over bearing and all staff immaculately groomed. Food, sensational, I don't know how they make a steak so delicious. We had... More

I dined here 2 nights ago - it was my second time at the restaurant, but this is my first review of it. I first tried it in October 2011, so it was time to come back. We were actually booked in their private "Boardroom", which was quieter and easier to talk, though lacking any real ambiance as you are... More
