W e went to Balthazar last friday night for our anniversary. The food was fantastic, he had the tasting plate and crab for entree. For our mains, my partner had the Lamb Ribs and I had the Pork Shoulder - which were both amazing. The biggest let down was the service. The waitress who greeted us was fantastic, helping us choose entree and wines. Then we had another waitress, and she may rate as the worst waitress in Perth. She ignored us the whole night. Filled our wine glasses once, then i had to help my self. She didn't even offer more wine when our bottle was finished. Took 25 minutes to clear our plates when we were done, and then she had the gaul to drop (yes DROP!) desserts menus on our table whilst she walked by. What actually upset me more, however, is the guys in business suits and the americans at the next table got impeccable service. I can handle poor service (if it is consistent) but it is really upsetting when the service is CLEARLY tip chasing and rates her customers! I will never return, and would recommend ANYONE who wants a fantastic TOTAL dinning experience to go to Star Anise, Jacksons or the Loose Box.

What an incredibly disappointing evening. The mood was set by an aggressive and extremely rude waitress who thankfully disappeared after seating the table, however, her male re...[more]
