embers

loved it. this is the best restaurant meal we have had in australia since we arrived 3 years ago. the food was perfect, the staff were pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable about the food and wine. the premises were great for families and singles alike and the place was buzzing. the prices were great for the quality of food and service we received. we loved it. will definitely be back.

top quality - great menu. this place was buzzing when we tried it out and for good reason. the menu itself boasts impressive variety and leaves you struggling to decide while planning your next visit. staff were clearly under pressure but operated like a well-oiled machine, attentive and efficient.

my wife and i started with the bruschetta (an important benchmark for italian) and it was great. simple flavours and fresh ingredients made for an appealing appetizer. i ordered the grancho pasta and my wife the special mussels. both had kick and left you satisfied. again the simple flavours and fresh ingredients shone through. we finished with the cointreau choc mousse. divine and a great cleanser after the chili goodness.

if you are going to drive out to the perth hills - make sure you stop in here.

i'd rather starve than eat at this restaurant. shows a lack of love and technique. presentation of food is disgraceful. very ignorant staff, felt my partner and i were invisible, and seriously the owner needs to use manners, extremely impolite. i'll never be back.

service highlight.. went to embers for lunch last friday.

service was great, as soon as we walked in we had friendly staff greet us so that's always a sweet plus.
had the t-bone steak with creamy mushroom sauce - asked for medium but got well done.. not that big of a problem but something that should probably be taken into account next time. i didn't want to bother them and ask it to be re-done seeing as they were busy as it was, so i decided to just enjoy the steak instead.

food still tasted amazing despite the small mishap.

the atmosphere here is great also - aside from having to forcefully yawn to pop my ears every 10-20 seconds, but hey, that's not their fault!
it's a nice place to come. i wish it was closer to where i live.

i'll definitely be back to try something else on the menu.

didn't get order correct again. i ordered takeway pizza's and meals for 6 of us. they didn't get the order right and then said for us to come back and pay more for them to rectify the order!!
you would think they would offer the part they missed out for free. they had got the previous order wrong as well.
won't be going back.

we had been to embers before for dinner with the family this time around breakfast, the wife had the salmon eggs benny with the sauce on the side and they happily complied with this request, the boy had the chocolate pancakes minus the maple syrup(not sure what his damage is) after being served coverd in the syrup they happily replaced this before the rest of the meals were dished up so he didn't have to wait, the youngest had the kids plain pancakes and loved them and thanks to the 12 yr old girl wanting the big breakfast i had to go the phat breakfast so she wasn't eating the largest amount of food at the table, all in all another good experience with some small hiccups that were fixed straight away, and for what they do i would of thought the baked beans would be made on premises and not out of a can but that's the only downfall for me.

unassuming nook in the wall with big flavours. we have recently moved in to the area and we were looking for a restaurant close to home to take the kids for a nice meal, and we found it.
the girls loved there meals from the polenta chips through to their cup of gelato for the car ride home.
the wife and i shared a seafood platter and for the price we paid were very happy with the size and quality.
very happy to spend what we did for what we received.
great night will go again

i love embers woo. went for dinner last week and the food was out quickly and was delicious, good service, very generous servings and embers has a lot of great options on the menu, would recommend :~)

such a fan. had a wonderful night at embers last night, the food was fantastic as was the service. have been coming here for awhile and have never been disappointed. embers is top of my list of places to eat in kalamunda.

sizzler style restaurant priced as fine dining. went to this restaurant last night. my friend's wine was off. she took a while to notice. the waitress offered to replace it which she did. then the owner came over to tell us we had waited too long, we'd drunk half the glass and would now have to pay for the replacement. then she accused us of trying to get a 'freebie' after spending $70 a head on food! we were furious. the restaurant was embers, kalamunda, the food was over-priced, sizzler-style, pretentious, not even fresh pasta, bastardised-italian. don't go there. ever.

i like it.. every time i have been here the food is always good. the pizza is always good. the service is always good. i dont know why im not here all the time :)

we live in the area and love coming to embers for a treat and we always bring our family members from qld & canada here and we love it !
great price for meal size and you can taste its made from the heart.

but just one thing that could be changed is making sure the coffee comew out fast and quick !
got my food before coffee once ,

see you soon

love it!. we get take out from embers quite often on weekends and are never disappointed! although it's not the cheapest option, the servings are huge (always have leftovers) and always taste amazing. i often get the fish and chips which never dissapoints. sometimes the food can take a while to be ready but that's expected on a friday night. would recommend.

embers is a little gem tucked away in gooseberry hill – it is fitted with heavy wood furniture and intriguing décor and when we arrived for dinner on saturday night it had a nice relaxed atmosphere. the staff were friendly and took our drink orders which arrived swiftly and gave us time to peruse the menu. i felt overwhelmed by the choices – so many delicious options to choose from! i settled on the il pesce ($33) which was snapper in a white wine and lemon reduction topped with sesame and poppy seeds. it lay on a bed of the most perfectly mashed potato, with an accompany of broccolini and roast tomatoes. i have to admit fish isn’t something i would normally order but this dish was fantastic – the sauce was fresh and light and accompanied the flavor of the fish very well. mr big ordered a capricciosa pizza ($21) which was as expected – the pizza was nice but in no way a stand out of the night, which was s

i'm consistently impressed with this place and it's become my favourite perth restaurant. when i sometimes consider setting up my own restaurant i think of the effort that these two sisters must put in to make such a great restaurant and i'm put off!! it isn't cheap but the value is there: whatever i've ordered has been excellent. seafood, pork ribs, t bone, pasta. it knocks spots off jaimie's!! service is efficient - without any sense that they want us out. can't think of any criticism....!

fab food and service. beautiful food, great menu. staff are friendly and efficient. only downside is the hard seating and the outside area could be spruced up. still wouldnt put me off going again though.
very homely and relaxed dinner atmosphere
