Montereys Restaurant - East Perth

We came to this restaurant to have the buffet dinner for the first time. There have very limited range of food. The seafood selection was still okay but there were hardly any hot dishes. Couple of hot dishes seems like been sitting there for ages and doesn't look very appealing. Service was absolutely terrible. The restaurant was reasonably quiet. We have to asked them for some water in the bowl so we can wash our hands after eating the seafood and constantly having to ask them to take away our used plate with all the empty shell. For the price of $65 for just the limited selection of food and terrible service, it was not worth it. Not to mentioned our wine cost us another $65 on top of the dinner.

To be honest I am a little surprised at the 3.1/5 score as I thought my lunch experience was very good.  I dined with my colleague who was a guest at the hotel and selected the buffet option. My first thought was that for $35 per person it was superb value for money. The selection was not vast but it was more than adequate for lunch. The seafood selection included chilli lime mussels and prawns. The mussels were fresh and tasty, and the prawns were decent sized. They were served cold although I didn't mind it so much. There was a decent selection of salads and vegetables, as well as meat dishes including cooked fish, chicken, and roast beef/lamb. Soup and bread was available, as well as a decent selection of desert.  I found the food quality to be generally very good and fresh.  Overall very pleased. Left feeling very satisfied. If you feel like a big lunch and skipping dinner, it's hard to go past this restaurant.

Not too bad, came here for a Christmas lunch. Few seafood selections like prawns, chilli mussels and crab. The prawns were fresh and chilli mussels nicely flavoured, but that crab was tasteless. As for hot food, loved the ribs - tender, off the bone and well marinated. The sambal first was great too, all others are standard with roast ham and chicken and the regular salads and side dishes. Desserts were alright, cakes and tarts with ice cream. Decent feed.

Staying at this lovely hotel, I came back from a long day of meetings yesterday and decided to have the dinner buffet. I have stayed here several times before and normally had great food at this restaurant. But this time the food could have fit well in a 3 star hotel rather this 5 star hotel. The prawns were very small and extremely pale as were the crabs. The choice and quality of meet was poor. The deserts were not very appetizing at all and looked off. The only saving grace is was the service and people were very good. Looks like management is penny pinching at the expense of their guests.

Very good buffet lunch. Seafood collection is quite good - crab, prawn and mussels but better crab world be awesome. Prawns are of good size. Can you add oysters too? Mains are good too - both Indian and continental dishes. Desserts are good too.
