DISAPPEARING ACT // Avoid the set menu (aud65pp) at Varnish on King if you are after a decent meal. The group of us ordered the set menu for six (total aud390) and still left super hungry. We had wanted to add extras and relayed this to our server as there were seven of us but after our server confidently assured us in saying that the food would be more than enough to feed the seven of us, we trusted them and let them do their thing. Therein lied our misstep for the night. Rule #1: always trust yourself instead. Note that one of our friends has peanut allergy and we informed this prior to the dishes being served. Breakdown of what was served: 2 x Grilled Peppers, Pears & Proscuitto (aud12 each) = aud24 1 x Maple Bourbon Chicken Wings aud18 After 35 minutes, mains finally arrived. It was 9:45pm at this point. 2 x Brussel Sprouts aud18 = aud36 1 x Pumpkin = aud28 : contains peanut, friend told to avoid this 2 x Mac & Cheese $26 = aud52 1 x Beef Rump Cap aud50: Dish of the night 1 x Steak & Frites - Price N/A: estimated aud60 Essentially there were only two protein dishes for six. As our server cleared off our dishes, we asked if there were more food coming. When informed that desserts we next, we expressed our disappointment and requested our server to inform the chef that we were still hungry. Desserts came out right after. Six serves of black sin cake with white chocolate and orange curd (aud12 each). It was bland and tasteless. They tried to make up for our disappointment by offering an additional serve of cake but we sent it back since the majority of us didn’t like the cake upon the first bite. We then asked for the bill and were stunned to see that the additional serve of cake was charged eventhough it had been sent back. This took a further 15 minutes to rectify. Rule #2: Always check the bill. I rarely write an actual negative post but our experience last night definitely warrants it. This might be a place known for their whiskey and bacon but maybe consider elsewhere if you are after a proper dinner feed. #VarnishOnKing #PerthCBD #PerthBar #ModernAustralian #HonestReviewsOnly #PerthFoodReview #PFR_Avoid #PFR_VarnishOnKing (at Varnish on King) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNO3JEvD_rE/?igshid=1clytgpw4zux7
