Great service from a young German waiter, food was fresh and served quickly. Music a little too loud for conversation but overall a wonderful lunch.

Location, perspective and convenience 100%. It was very busy, despite the pouring rain , due to The Derby but we could find a Team Member fairly easily. Food was yum and we didn’t wait long.

Hi Leigh, I am sorry to hear that we let you down on this special occasion. We pride ourselves on serving fresh WA produce and I have addressed this with our seafood supplier to ensure we maintain our high standards of quality at all times. I am happy to know that our manager on duty went above and beyond to turn your evening around. Hope you give us another chance to deliver on our high guest experience. Kind regards, Cindy

Good friendly service and food. Wasn’t very busy and couldn’t hear music so ambience and vibe wasn’t that fun.

Hi Rick, thank you for taking the time to review us. Unfortunately we cant play music in our alfresco area due to license restrictions, I do hope the music was set at our standard level inside to create a fun vibe. Kind regards, Cindy

Attended the Royal for Quiz night, we were seated off to the side and we could not hear the host of the quiz or see the screen to read the questions off. We were constantly having to ask the quiz host or other tables what the question which was frustrating for our team, the table next to us ended up leaving through the first round. This could be improved if the additional TVs were able to be connected to the quiz. This was a really disappointing experience and we will not be in a rush to return to the royal for their quiz night with this set up.

Hi EllB, I am so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience with us on our Quiz night. I have addressed your issues with our Duxs Nuts organizer to ensure in future that our presenter on the night is engaging with all guest at the Quiz. Your feed back is valuable. Kind regards, Cindy

Beautiful spot on the river, staff were attentive but judging that on about 10 customers. The food was ok though I had the oysters kilpatrick and they were average at best. The steak was cooked to my liking, price was a bit high for a hotel, plenty of chips but the mushroom gravy was average.

Hi Neil, thank you for your review and rating regarding your recent experience. We have passed your feedback on to our kitchen team and hope to see you back soon. Warm Regards, The Royal Management Team.

Dined here for our last night in Perth with my family. The restaurant was neat and tidy - with nice ambiance. The outlook over the water was pleasant. The service was very attentive and the food was excellent if not a little pricey but I was happy to pay that bit extra for the experience. Overall glad I chose to come here over everything else on offer in Perth and would recommend it. The only issue was the visibility of the place. It has a small sign out the front but access is either down an elevator or steps to the water to access it if you are looking for it.
