Great ambiance and food, we were greeted with friendly staff; the service was on point. Even though it was her first night, she was always smiling and hospitable to our every request.
Started with the wagyu Carpachio, loved the definitive truffle aroma and a slight texture contrast from the crunchy crumbs. The truffle fries and ribs may need abit more impact, but all in all they we both solid dishes and we are happy with it.
Finished off the meal by sharing the chocolate fondant. Great dark chocolate flavours and fast service! but the soil may need more of a playful texture. It did remind me of a crumbed dark choc cookies. Some crunch and muddy texture would lift the overall dish.
Great...

We decided to try out Amphoras Bar in West Perth - it's in the entertainment book so why not? We ordered the scallops (looked a lot like half scallops), with chorizo, and avocado puree; roasted red permento stuffed with mushroom & ricotta; and crispy sand whiting fillet, zucchini and gazpacho emulsion.
Perhaps we chose badly or caught them on a bad night, because the food was uninspiring and had no wow factor. The dishes were also overpriced. We'll probably stick with Pinchos for our tapas fix.
This is a lovely little tapas bar. The menu is quite extensive and diverse. The waitstaff are friendly and accommodating. My partner and I started with the Empanadas which were outstanding, I would definitely recommend this dish. Next up was the crumbed cuttlefish which was less than impressive. Thankfully the Lamb Rump was more enjoyable. The restaurant is quite small and it is worthwhile to make a prior reservation. Food came out in an efficient manner. I feel as if it was nice but not amazing.
Friends recommend this little tapas bar, and it didn't let us down. Loved it, the place gives you a good relaxing feel in the alfresco on the high tables, the service was great and friendly from the moment we walked in. The food was outstanding and it came out fast, great for lunches for those work catch up's. I did notice the private dining area, didn't get a chance to check it out, so will be heading back for dinner for sure - seems like a great place for the date night.

Staying just over the road at Sage Hotel and decided to have some dessert and a drink here. Got some churro's to share a sparkling and a port. Churro were raw and doughy, sparkling was apparently nice but the port was served as a 30mL shot. When we asked nicely and then kindly told them it wasn't a spirit and should be served 60-90 mL, we were just brushed off... pretty hopeless really to pay $9 for a 30 mL glass of cheap port.
Cute little tapas bar in West Perth, convenient for after work drinks and nibbles! The drinks/tapas selection is on point. However, I wouldn't plan to go here for a meal unless you know what's on the lunch special menu, we went with a table of 14 and they only had about 5 of each dish available. We did find a nice long strand of hair in one of the dishes but aside from that everyone enjoyed their meal!
If you want bland food with no taste and lots of oil then I'd recommend going to dinner here. I had the mushrooms, tasting plate and carpaccio and all of them were extremely disappointing. The waitress was nice though and she went and told the manager or owner but we got no thanks for feedback or even an apology at all so doesn't seem like they really care about the quality of their food.
We had drinks here and went on to nibbles. The truffle fries were pricey but when we tasted them it was all worth it! Chorizo was ok, calamari good and the arancini balls were a stand out. Croquettes were good.
Service is inconsistent, we've had good experiences and disappointing service.

We love amphoras, the cocktails, wine, tapas style food & desserts will tempt you to return to this small funky bar. We have been as a couple & also with a table of 15, consistent service is hard to find but not at amphoras.
I enjoyed tapas lunch here. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. The food was different and divine - barramundi croquettes and the mushroom - delicious. Everything was right.
