Occasion: Not that we needed one for a degustation, however it was my partners 30th birthday.
Food: We have eaten at various degustations across Australia. I like to think we have a pretty good idea what makes a degustation amazing, 5/5 and highly recommendable (I am not claiming we are experts I am high lighting the point that I can compare among degustation places). We opted for the 10 course degustation menu. The birthday boy got matched wines with the meal and I was DD. So here does (NOTE: the meal was a few nights ago, and I can not remember the names of each dish off the top of my head):
Homemade rye bread with yeast infused butter
Snacks: Veal tongue and pork crackling

Degustation Disaster, with a side of gastronomical arrogance. Honestly this is the worst dining experience I have had in years. It's not often I get food in my mouth that makes me screw up my face in disgust and race for a drink to wash the flavor out of my mouth, but this place achieved it. Corn on the cob, boiled in prawn water. YUCK !!!!! Tasted like bin juice !! And that was after the no seafood warning on booking. The flavors were otherwise flat, with salty dishes served with extra salt. Courses had no flow and didn't compliment each other. The wine was nice, but not timed with the courses, with only 1/8Th of a glass of ultra sour beer served with the first 3 courses of the ten. I...
It sadly seems like this once thriving dining room is on the slide. We ate here last Friday night and the restaurant was terribly quiet...not a good sign..we ate through the degustation $130 with matching wines $80
Some of the courses were good but some in particular the 'signature ' Berkshire pork was a disappointment.
The wine pairings were at best average, the use of little known wineries in an attempt to subterfuge quality and cost...this theme resonated through out the night, from ingredients through to housekeeping execution. You could help but feel that Co op Dinning are in their death throes...

What a disappointment!
Experience was not too dissimilar from Wing Commanders.
Having spent what we did and received what we received for the 10 course degustation, think I would feel less violated had we been robbed in the street.
For the price paid, service did not meet expectations either.
Wish Amuse' was not closed at the moment, otherwise we wouldn't have dined here in the first place.
Having looked through the website my expectations where quite high and I came for a dining experience.
The food experience disappointed in way of lacking in imagination in both taste and presentation, where as the service was excellent and faultless.

Whilst I only make it here a couple of times a year this has to be one of my favourites; it begins with their simple philosophy of supporting local produces

My husband and I went to the vegan degustation tonight and were so happy we did.
The menu had five courses, and each one was more delicious than the last.
One of my favourite degustation restaurants in Perth! Loved the flavours of every dish! Great place for a date night! Good food and great service!
