- The menu is fantastic, i would have loved to have tried everything on it. My girlfriend and I shared the seared scallops and pork belly for entree, which were cooked perfectly and a great start. I had the lamb rack for mains, and my girlfriend had the red emperor. Both were very well done, the lamb was medium rare as requested and came with a goats cheese and olive croquette, and the fish was also cooked to perfection and came with a pimento crust and risotto accompanyments. The free bread, dukkah and evoo was also nice.

- Impossible to fault Alure, the food was really outstanding, wine and cocktail list is huge, it is just a really good place for a meal. Prices were reasonable too, with the 25% discount the bill was $105 which including an entree, two mains, a cocktail, beer and spirit. Highly recommended!

- We went to Alure for our wedding anniversary and I was not disappointed at all! I can't believe all the bad reviews about food and service. My husband had the entree of the scallops with crispy risotto and chorizo sausage. I tasted the scallops and they were amazing, by far the best I've ever had. Our mains of beef fillet and dhufish were also fantastic. I am a fussy fish eater and dhufish is my favourite fish so I had high expectations, and it was cooked perfectly, with cherry tomatoes and crispy croutons. The beef fillet was so thick and melted in your mouth. The dessert was the highlight, icecream with white chocolate shell and toffee inside. Absolutely beautiful could not fault any of the food.

- I went with two girlfriends and we almost walked out as they have stopped their $25 lunch sushi specials. The restaurant was empty and the waiter talked us into staying, saying that we could order any sashimi platters that we wanted and it would be provided. The sashimi and sushi platters WERE TO DIE FOR!!! So fresh and tasty, you couldn't have found any fault. (NOTE: Sashimi and sushi, unfortunately not on the (A)LURE menu anymore.)

- We sat at the huge table that is in front of a window facing the pool. It was an awesome experience. The sun was shining and the pool looked inviting. We had to ask the waiter to draw the sheer curtain as it was getting hot. The table set up is quite loungey - which was perfect for the occasion.

- I know this restaurant has taken quite a few hits, and maybe it was warranted. The wine is pricey and I didn't eat anything off the menu - so I can't guarantee that this restaurant is up to scratch. All I can say is that this restaurant, while empty, and if you choose sashimi and sushi then you won't be disappointed. Or maybe it was the company I was keeping that day. A highly enjoyable experience (NOTE: Sashimi and sushi, unfortunately not on the (A)LURE menu anymore.)

- It was my second visit to (a)lure, and neither time could I fault any part of my meal. Both times the food was delicious, and presented beautifully. My favourite part was the dessert - I had the 'Torrone icecream, toffee center, white chocolate crust'. I'd looked at the menu before going and knew that I would be getting it, but it was even more delicious than I imagined!

- I really like the atmosphere at (a)lure. It's fairly formal, but not boringly so. I commented to my dining partner that it has a nice balance - the dining area is neutral and formal-ish, while the bar area has more colour and casualness to it.

My partner had the beef with prawns but he found the prawns over cooked. My mum had the dhu fish, which she complained was too dry and my dad had the steak, and he was happy with his meal.

- We had a set menu for a private function on Tuesday night. The entree to share was fantastic - oysters (Kilpatrick and Au natural) sushi, California rolls, pate with Turkish bread and deep fried prawn skewers. I choose the chicken with spinach and potatoes which was wonderful, juicy. For dessert you had a choice of chocolate trio with vanilla ice-cream or a cheese platter - I had the chocolate of course!!

- What a wonderful experience. The food is just truly delicious and tantalizing. Food has never tasted so good. Me and my partner had shared some Californian sushi and each bite just oozed with flavour. For our mains we ordered the Mt Barker Chicken and Red Emperor. Both meals were wonderfully presented and just was so delicious. Will definitely be going back and would recommend everyone to try it! You wont be disappointed!

I was very excited to be going to dinner at this gold plate winning restaurant. We sat by the window overlooking the beautiful pool so we couldn’t have asked for better seats. We were given complimentary bread rolls with butter and olives while we waited for our meals and were also given a tomato palate cleanser to get ready.
I had a good look around out of interest and wasn’t pleased to find one of my knives dirty and some of the wine glasses unpolished and the table could have used a bit more of a clean but I proceeded to order.
I thoroughly enjoyed a crayfish ravioli on crushed peas with crustacean oil for entree, it was a largish serve too and the taste was fantastic I could not find fault and nor could anyone at the table. Our mains all arrived perfectly with my (mr) lamb coming out (mr) so I was very happy, everyone again enjoyed the food. It was presented perfectly.
The service lacked a bit, one of the waitress's always served us with a smile but i cannot say that about the other two. Our wine glasses were not cleared and we had to ask a couple of times for drinks, we expected exceptional service as it is a fine dining restaurant and a pricey one at that. The menus were also a bit tatty with food spills on them so that is something they should look at also.
The desserts were delicious, but half the table had to wait before they received theirs, and then they had already started to melt. But the food for the whole night was faultless; all that needed attention was the service and finer details.

My partner and I ate at Alure last night to celebrate our anniversary. The restuarant is beautifully decorated and I was very impressed by the ambience.
The food menu was divine and my potato rosti with caramelised onions and goats cheese was excellent. My partner was pretty satisfied with his steak and rock lobster. To my delight, the coconut crème brulee was one of the best desserts we had both eaten in a long time. Even more importantly, the drinks menu was robustly extensive.
However, it was quite busy being a Friday evening. It took us about ten minutes in the line to be shown to our table, despite having a reservation. Once we were seated simple things like receiving water and menus took a very long time. The waitstaff were obviously trying their best but they seemed to lack the confidence and pizazz that staff at Halo or Balthazaar are reknown for. My partner ordered a dozen oysters for entree and was presented only half of them, being informed by the waitstaff that he would have to wait too long a time to receive the full order.
It has the making of a beautiful restaurant; good design, fabulous menu and the kitchen do outstanding food. I was a little disappointed that the service did not match these solid foundations though. Overall I still had a wonderful time and will go back again in the future.

We took overseas visitors on the final night of their stay and we were all blown away by how good the evening was. The service was first class from the moment we got there and carried on that way.
The food was exceptional, I personally had the seared tuna followed by the beef steak and crayfish. All six of us had different courses but everybody thoroughly enjoyed what they had chosen.
There is also a very extensive wine list and unlike some of the higher restaurants there was a selection for all budgets.
Overall I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Ambience: Very modern and can be quiet cold depending on where they sat you. First time when we went there, we didn’t make any booking and ended up having a real bad seat. The second time, they put us close to the window overlooking the swimming pool - magic!!!!
Food: We ordered the Barramundi and also Grilled Chicken. The soup, olives and bread appetizer was a very nice touch.
Service was very good and professional. The second time we went there, we ordered the Barramundi again and also Fillet Steak. They were both magnificent!
The food quality at (A)lure is comparable to those at Oyster Bar Mosman Bay or Zafferano. Very pleasant experience indeed. We will definitely be back!!!

My family and I went to (A)lure yesterday for dinner and all I can say is this is one of the best restaurants that I've ever visited in Perth.
Let me start with the food. For starters, we ordered California Roll sushi and (A)lure Roll sushi. They were fresh and, surprisingly, tasted really good. We also had the infamous Wagyu Beef Tataki, and WOW! No wonder people are talking about this dish all the time. The beef were extremely tender and didn't taste rare at all. We felt like we were dining in a real Japanese restaurant, in Japan!
For mains, we ordered Caesar Salad of Grilled Prawn and Chicken, Spiced Amelia Park lamb, Atlantic Salmon, and the Wagyu Sirloin Grade 9 served (A)LURE style. The Wagyu Sirloin was really expensive for a sirloin steak, but the price was justified as soon as we tasted it. Excellent! Best sirloin steak that I have ever tasted in my life. Extremely tender (if cooked medium rare as the chef suggested) and tasted really good as well. It also came with marron tail which was a great addition to the steak. The other dishes were fantastic and the prices were ok too, especially for the quality of food they provide. Don’t forget to order the desserts too. We had the Torrone ice cream, toffee centre, white chocolate crust and Mango, pineapple and logan berry fruit salad, yoghurt ice cream. Great desserts and just right. Not too much and beautifully presented too.
Wonderful ambience. Funky, romantic, and stylish. Great for anniversary dinners and office functions. Service is top class too. All of the waitresses were friendly and helpful.
Overall, great dining experience and I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who’s looking for a great night out.

-
The wagyu sashimi I shared for entree was one of the most delicious things I think I have ever tasted! It sat atop a bed of thinly sliced onion, and, when combined, (and especially when dipped in the soy dipping sauce with a dab of extra hot wasabi), was like heaven in my mouth! The beef was so tender and fresh it almost melted. At first I was quite afraid of eating raw beef, however it didn't taste raw one bit - and the texture was that of a rare steak - not gelatinous as one would expect, it was so full of flavour and perfect texture.
For main I had the grilled beef fillet (rare) with marron tail and white truffle hollandaise. The fillet was cooked to perfection, and it was a really good thick slice as far as beef fillets go. It was so tender it literally (again) melted in my mouth. The marron tail with white truffle hollandaise on the side was also terrific. The juicy marron meat was pre-cut into bite sized pieces and sat in the tail with the sauce drizzled over it. It was a lot easier to eat than say if it was just cooked in the shell and you had to dig it out yourself. The combination of flavours on my plate all complimented one another and the textures were just right. This dish is definitely recommended. (I usually tend to go for beef fillet when out at restaurants, I guess I just love a good tender and juicy steak - beef fillet obviously being the best for tenderness and juiciness and Alure doesn't falter in this regard.)
Finally dessert. All I can say is double-wow! Ok I was a little bit of a pig and shared two desserts - but I just couldn't help myself! Firstly we had the hot Valrhona chocolate fondant with iced double cream. This was amazing! Perfectly cooked this fondant opened up like a small volcano erupting chocolate sauce goodness onto my plate. You could tell they used top quality chocolate for this dish as it was just superb. However my absolute favourite dessert was definitely the coconut crème brulee with coconut sorbet and caramelised pineapple. This is the tastiest dessert I’ve had in a long time! The combination in my mouth of the delicate coconut crème brulee set-off perfectly with the slightly tart flavour of the coconut and lime sorbet and it was just to die for! I felt swept away to a tropical island with this dish! I'll definitely be coming back for this one for sure!
I must say that Alure is probably the best restaurant I've been to in Perth so far for service, food quality, freshness and gourmet originality. The funky interior also added to the subtly relaxed ambiance, and the chilled out tunes playing at just the right audible level in the background added that little bit extra to our experience.
I will definitely be back again and especially for my birthday which is coming up very soon!
