The Fishy Affair Seafood Restaurant

DAYS OF BUSINESS

Mon - Sun:	12:00 to 14:00 18:00 to 22:00

The fresh, cold depths of the Indian Ocean of Perth are home to a delicious array of fish, crustacea and shellfish, in splendid profusion. Western Australians are priviledged to enjoy freshly caught seafood prepared in literally hundreds of ways from the simple pan fried fillet, to the truly exotic.

Our freshly prepared seafood will tempt your palate without breaking the bank, and our selection of Western Australian wines will surely impress you.

And that makes The Fishy Affair the perfect place to get together with a few friends for a long, lingering lunch or a pleasant dinner. We will offer you a warm welcome that is as fresh as our seafood.

The Fishy Affair is amongst the longest established restaurants in Northbridge. Because despite the meteoric rise in popularity of the region, we have never altered our simple philosophy: to provide simply brilliant seafood and friendly service, within the average diners budget.

GREAT SERVICE!! TOOK MY CLIENT OUT TO DINNER AND SHE LOVED HER OYSTERS (December, 2008)

Overall 2.5 - Food 4, Ambience 2, Value 3, Service 1

you would think that a vodka and soda water would be easy enough to order....i got a bottle of mount franklin, a carraff of water, a lime cordial and soda water, and when i finally got what i asked for ,it was in a hot glass.

sometimes you can excuse ignorance if the meal is exceptional....but it was far from that.

we didn't even get deserts offered to us.

2 out of 4 of our party were not feeling well by the time we left.

hardly any of the tables were taken and even though i booked ahead, we were stuck in a corner where my husband couldn't move, and my daughter in law kept getting splashed by the water from the fish tank she was practically leaning on.

just to add some excitement to the evening, one waitress

spilt a beer down my sons back and another had to crawl under my husband's legs to get to a power switch.

i can promise you this....we will NOT be going back! (December, 2008)

Overall 6 - Food 8, Ambience 6, Value 6, Service 4

Food is great, Service is ok too but the service at the counter is very bad after all. (7 - See my reviews (3) - September, 2008)

Overall 5.8 - Food 7, Ambience 5, Value 7, Service 4

Food was of fairly good quality, although several items that our group wished to eat were unavailable.

We ate during lunch in a group of four, there was only one other table with approx eight people.

Despite this, our food service was quite slow, and it took just over one hour for our meal, a bit too long over lunch. (July, 2008)

Overall 4 - Food 7, Ambience 3, Value 5, Service 1

The food was quite nice but the wait staff are completely unfamiliar with the menu and when we asked if the lobster was served with anything we were told "Yes, bits and pieces". We asked if we should order a salad and was told yes but when our meal arrive it had more than sufficient salad and mashed potato with asparagus. The salad we ordered separately was completely unnecessary but they still charged us for it. (Raw1 - July, 2008)

Overall 9.8 - Food 10, Ambience 10, Value 9, Service 10

everything that we ordered was sooo delicious. Will go back again for sure (February, 2008)

Overall 3.8 - Food 5, Ambience 5, Value 4, Service 1

Went for dinner, had to ask for glasses for the BYO, and then for our order to be taken well after of having menu's for half an hour. Seafood was dry. Had entertainment cards, would only accept one. Can't recommend (See my reviews (2) - February, 2008)

Overall 8.3 - Food 8, Ambience 9, Value 9, Service 7

Being from Melbourne, I love my alfresco dining. Though technically indoors, The Fishy Affair's open windows policy shares the outside ambiance of Northbridge. The seafood at reasonable prices means you can enjoy 3 courses without breaking the budget. The Chilli Mussels, though not of the "usual" Perth recipe, is highly recommended. The level of service was good, but communication between the waiters and kitchen could have been better with breads/starters and entrees arriving ad-hoc with my Lobster Bisque arriving after my Entree Chilli Mussels but before my Garlic bread. Good quality Margaret River wines were also on offer at lower-than-expected prices. Definatley would recommend. (Lev - January, 2008)

Overall 8.5 - Food 8, Ambience 9, Value 8, Service 9

it was New Year's Eve and was a busy night but the restaurant service was still fast and the food was good. (January, 2008)
