Grilled spiced lamb shoulder.  Delicious!  The lamb was so tender.  Comes served with thinly sliced radish & rice pilaf.  Would definitely order this again

Situated looking out on the river, it's the smell of nature that greets you when you sit out on the deck. There's lush greenery surrounding, and lodgers at the apartments next door running down to the pool in front. For a moment I almost feel like I've left Perth and am at a little pub/bar down south it has that kind of feel.

The menu is nice and simple, with some strong sounding dishes that separate this from other nearby venues. There's a few options we're both musing over but are quick to make our decisions when it comes time to order.

My partner chooses one of the day's specials as his starter, the bruschetta with crisp pancetta and balsamic glaze. The toasted bread was crusty on the edges and soft inside, with deliciously sweet cherry tomatoes and curls of fresh basil. I usually like more toppings on my bruschetta so I felt this was a loose reference, but my boy enjoyed this especially thanks to the salty sweet contrast from the pancetta and balsamic.

As soon as I spied the duck and chicken liver parfait with fig relish and sourdough ($12.50) I knew I had decided on my entree. There's just something about that decadent dish, spreading the creamy concoction over bread... it gets me every time.

150 East's version was flavoursome, with a lovely richness that resonated with each bite. I did find it a bit strange that the butter on top had melted from the parfait being warmed up, but besides that it was a really enjoyable plate. The fig relish was dark and treacly, taken quite far but not bitter. All in all, an enjoyable simple dish that suites our surroundings.

For his main my guy chose the Chef's signature dish - grilled chicken supreme with sweet potato puree, smoked sweet corn and a jalapeño, coriander and tomato salsa ($29.50). I thought it was quite a small serving, but my eye still went straight to the crispy skin and that silky smooth puree underneath - it looked and smelled really great.

The chicken was moist and tasty, working well with the other ingredients on the plate. I liked that the puree worked as a sauce, coating each bite with that sweet, velvety goodness. The salsa was more corn and coriander, but the few pieces of cherry tomato were welcome and juicy.

For my main I was in the mood for pasta so I picked the prawn linguine, spinach, tomato, chilli & garlic ($29.50).

The pasta was al dente and coated in a light oil dressing, the pops of garlic and cherry tomatoes bringing life into each bite. They'd all gathered towards the bottom, but once I mixed it all in together again it worked well though my first couple of bites were a bit blander. The prawns were fresh and are locally sourced, cooked perfectly so they still had that little snap in each bite - and best of all there was lots of them! I did feel that it needed a bit more seasoning and that touch of salt would have really dialled up the flavours.

This was such a huge serving, so in the end the dish defeated me - so much so I didn't even have room for dessert after! Yes, I almost felt like I was rolling home after!

Beautiful views. Very attentive service. Used a Scoopon for 3 course meal & glass of wine and they made us feel very welcomed. Food was delicious and generous serves.

Tip it's hard to figure out where the restaurant is as its in an apartment complex. They need better signage. My tip is to park near the hotel lobby

Great dinner two days in a row. The tempura battered crab special was delicious. Crusted salmon on a bed of mashed potatoes sugar peas and greens was out of this world. Even the garden salad was memorable.

Very friendly and pleasant staff. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

For the lusterless location (it's not really near any nightlife, just a highway) and for a hotel-restaurant, this is excellent quality. For anywhere else, it's still pretty good too.

It's casual fine dining on a Modern Australian menu. The food just tipples into adventurous foodie territory, without alienating those with more humble palates. The menus even come complete with glossary for the gourmand-illiterate.

Service is very good and ambience pleasant.

I wouldn't drive long distances to eat here, but if you're in the area, it's definitely worthy of your pennies for a nice meal among family or friends.

Had lunch on Saturday. The menu is great with lots of variety, but don't let the reasonable prices fool you, the food was brilliant.  The restaurant  enjoys a riverside view and has an outside eating area overlooking the river.  Our waitress, Kirsten was very efficient and professional.

Lunch consisted of inedible spring rolls, boring salmon and a bizarre gingerbread pudding. The tea, coffe and service was fantastic
