Ascua

My 2nd time. Must say better than the 1st and the 1st was outstanding. Food, wine, service all wonderful. My partner had a small request given her dietary requirements and it was accommodated to without any fuss. Our waiter had extensive knowledge, great experience and a wonderful table manner. I will recommend Ascua unequivocally.

Diane and I enjoyed her birthday celebration several nights ago, and we both enjoyed Ascua totally. We enjoyed the Chefs Selection which covered every course that the kitchen produced, and every curse was superb. The standouts for me were the first course with the plate of picked local Swimmer Crab followed by the subsequent course of the Snapper on a bed of Risotto cooked in Squid Ink. Diane loved a new dish for her which was the Geraldton Cuttlefish; my bite was a little smoky but very tender. Her rare Beef Rump was grilled to perfection. The entire dinner was superb, and at another celebration, we will definitely return.

After recieving lots of rave reviews about Ascua from a friend, we were very excited to finally try it for a birthday. Unfortunately, it failed to meet expectations. The rump steak was so tough, it couldn’t be swallowed unless chewed for an excessively long time, the cuttle fish starter was over salted and the cheese plate looked like ingredients were just tossed into the plate.

Had high expectations based on rave reviews. Was a bit disappointed as the octopus which came in the seafood platter was very chewy. Several pieces of the wood fired broccoli were VERY charred but undercooked. Experience was altogether underwhelming. Service was pleasant.

Good service and ambience but my steak was over cooked

Absolutely perfect. Service was impeccable and food all delicious. Could not fault it!

We had a table of 8 for a rushed dinner before a play at His Majesty's theatre. The staff was so obliging and brought our food out so quickly. Everyone was happy with their meals, and the sides were amazing!! Would definitely go back to have a 3 course meal!

Perfect location for our business lunch. The lamb shoulder was spectacular. Excellent wine list.

Great meal and fantastic service
The crab was amazing
My steak was cooked exactly how I like it
We will return

Fabulous food and atmosphere we were the only women in the restaurant for lunch dont know why, the food was remarkable and we will be returning

Service is professional and courteous but very slow and lacking initiative. After waiting 20 minutes in a half full restaurant we gave up on getting a dessert menu and left without buying what would have been several dishes and drinks. The decor looks good but the atmosphere was spoiled by the side entrance door being repeatedly left open for the cold night air to blow in. The meals are attractive and good quality, although on the expensive side. Wait staff could have upsold a lot of drinks and extras if they had tried, even once.

Been here a few times now & the food has been great each time.

The food and service ... excellent! Our waiter was very helpful and attentive all night.

Service was slow to start and there weren’t many people in. But the food was great.

All the food is delicious! The staff are very friendly and you’ll have a great time! Come with more people so you can sample more food!!

Courteous ,helpful staff , good food and good service.
Have eaten here 3 or 4 times now and have not been disappointed.

Great value on the mains share plates and delicious food overall. Some small gripes with the table height in the booths which all my table of 4 found difficult for being too tall making it ironically uncomfortable for a booth seating. Also the lighting is harsh in places considering it is generally a pleasant dark-style ambience. The hatch hole to Heno & Rey tapas area near us was really disconcerting and the light above us was harsh. Looking forward to the hotel stylist visiting and mandating the light settings. Way too much being said here about the lighting but it's bad and affected the night and the food and service was excellent.

The food and service was impeccable.
We have already recommended it to family and friends.
We will return for our next special occasion

Steak was great - done as requested and served very timely. Will definitely be back!

Wanted to try somewhere new ... thoroughly enjoyed the Ascua experience. Great ambiance and one of the best tasting meals that we have had in a very long time. Portion size was well above average.
Highly recommend the restaurant

The menu was fabulous, the service friendly and professional. We loved it!

Good service nice food comfortable seating. However expensive

I had read reviews and was really looking forward to eating here. The restaurant has a nice fitout and our waitress was very friendly. The food was ok. I wouldn’t rave about it. You never know until you try and people have different tastes. Saying that the lamb and chicken were cooked really well. My big gripe was the fact that we ordered a side with our main which we were told was coming but it didn’t. We did wait a while but our food would have been cold if we had waited longer. We did tell our waitress after our plates had been taken away. She did apologise and said the restaurant had just been overrun with room service orders so was busy??? I’m not sure I like that excuse. We were then given a small pot of peppermint tea on the house as an apology. That concerts to one teabag in water. We weren’t asked if we drank tea we were just given it so fortunately we like peppermint tea otherwise that would have been wasted.

One of the best places I've eaten at and I have already recommended to at least 5 people since eating here 3 days ago

Amazing, food was fantastic, chef nick is exceptionally talented

Service by one female French waitress was very good. Food Good.
Unfortunately let down by the Manager lounging against the kitchen. Bench & talking to chef.& playing with his mobile phone.Spoiled the atmosphere.
Asked for desert menus & they were forgotten by another waiter who seemed like he was on another planet.
Is a shame as it’s got potential.

Beautiful dark sultry setting, menu was varied and interesting, food was incredibly elegant with great produce treated with utmost respect and presented beautifully. I had the scallops, woodfired snapper and squid ink risotto and dark chocolate tart and couldn't find a fault with any of it. Portion sizes were generous and staff had the perfect balance of attentive and invisible. Will definitely be back.

Had a lovely meal at Ascua before going to the Ballet. Food was yummy and interesting and wine was delicious. Staff were friendly and courteous and not bothered when we mentioned we needed to get to a show on time.

Food and service was very good. I have been three times now and the consistency is also very good.

Great range of meals available for one or to share. The kitchen with its open flame is in full view of the restaurant so you can see your meal getting prepared.

Love good woodfired cooked food, proteins were perfectly cooked and sides were tasty too. Great spot, would go back again to try other menu items.

Exceptional restaurant. The tomahawk was amazing. A great wine list and perfect service.

We enjoyed our time at the restaurant with friends. We all thought the food and service was fabulous.

Enjoyable atmosphere, with interesting Spanish cuisine, Ascua has a lively feel, while still being able to talk without yelling. Our meals were excellent, although a little pricey when having to add on sides.

Three of us dined here last Tuesday. The restaurant is very lovely; the staff attentive.
The meals were OK but not memorable. The entrees we chose were nice. The scallops, the swimmer crab, and the Spanish ham.
I was disappointed with my Lamb rump main course. It was OK but very meaty, and unimaginative. My husband felt likewise about his Beef main course. The third main course - the fish was probably more innovative.
One dessert shared between 2, was declared wonderful.

Thank you for an absolutely amazing meal. The food was so so good and will definitely be recommending it to everyone. Service was also really attentive but not annoying - very good balance.
Definitely up there as our favourite place to dine in Perth.

Great meal, one of the best lunches I’ve had in the Perth CBD. The chicken and lamb dishes were standouts. Even the bread was amazing! Only let downs were the prices and the wine list was very limited. One of my pet peeves is restaurants not publishing the vintage but charging top dollar for a 1 or 2 year old wine. Great for a business lunch if someone else is paying. They also missed a massive opportunity by closing early and asking patrons to move to the front.

Great ambiance, great goat cheese and tomato appetizer. They recommended the Tomahawk as their signature dish and I was not super impressed by it! Not enough to want to go back there for it! I have had better steak (and Tomahawk in the past). The Tiger Prawns were absolutely amazing though. I am down here in Perth for 2 months and I wouldn't say the food was good enough to want to go back and have the Tomahawk again. The Seafood platter looked good though so perhaps next time I'll try that!

Ascua was excellent, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal, wine and the service.

The food was amazing and full of flavour. The service was extremely inviting and you were treated with smiles. The venue itself and the look of the open kitchen and glass to see the full grill makes me want one in my house!
