Tony Roma's - Perth City

Tony Roma’s – Perth City


Menu
·          Extensive - I found myself slightly stressed on what to choose if I didn’t want ribs!
·         The menu did not cater to all our tastes – one guest only found a baked potato to their liking, and a piece of corn which the restaurant had than ran out of.
Food
·         Tasty -   also quite decent servings for most meals
·         Not enough chips with The Mexican’s meal, and Gemi’s meal could hardly be called a piece of cow!
·         Ran out of corn, but didn’t tell us until after order was placed
·         Well cooked steaks
·         Bread basket a plus - garlic dipping sauce also never fails!
Service
·         Trainee waiter really sweet and attentive (kept asking if everything was ok and offering drinks). Offered him an extra tip at the end due to such attentive service.
·         Waiter that spilt E’s cocktail = very average, also no offer for a re-fill. Was she supposed to lick it off her arm?
·         Reservation was incorrectly booked by Roma staff for the Wed not Thurs, but they accommodated us regardless without too much waiting, which turned a negative into a plus.

Ambience
·         Very noisy – I find myself talking louder than usual; and that’s strange!
·         Booth seating enjoyable, for booth seated parties. Other guests not as comfortable, but definitely not an issue. Had a slight diner feel about the restaurant.


Value for Money
·         Reasonable
·         $23-Steak + 2 sides = good value for money, and portion size.
·         $40 – steak = a little bit pricey given quantity and quality of food.


Score
6.25 / 10 – Would definitely go there again, however hype that was heard about this restaurant may have made expectations slightly higher than result that was delivered. It's really just fancy pub grub!
