ithout any definite plans (or booking) my wife and I recently happened on a new place to experience fine dining in a quality environment with a pleasant ambience. On Friday evening, 18 March 2005, we were fortunate to find "Kelly's" in Canning Vale. The fare was superb in quality and preparation, the setting is a surprise in the midst of Canning Vale and the service provided by our host Kelly was unforgettable. On this warm autumn night, sitting on a verandah with soft lights highlighting the garden surrounds was just perfect. As it is early days as far as this dining establishment is concerned, some fault could be found if one was looking to be critical, however we enjoyed the experience so much we will certainly return to sample the wares, be it dinner, lunch or just for coffee and cake. Kelly should be very proud of her restaurant at this stage of it's operation and we expect it's reputation and her pride will only grow in years to come.
Thanks Kelly. We will not forget you.

In response to Tony's inane questions...... (I really don't know why I am bothering), | ||

Very defensive, but I guess I was being a bit cheeky. | ||

I find Ericcitzen's comment about Mother's day very difficult to understand,we were there that day and had a fantastic time. We did have to wait awhile as there were in excess of 200 people dinning and were encouraged to have a wander around the wonderful gardens and gift shop. Their very cheap BYO policy means you can sit back with a bottle of wine and relax. We found the young staff to be very friendly and efficient. If Mr E had a bad day, it is unfourtunate, but I suggest the moderators look at people being abusive on posts. | ||

We went to Kellys to try out the Wednesday roast and won't be back again! My husband had the beef and it was raw in the middle and although my meat was nice all of the "packet" vegetables were undercooked and cold. We had to get up and ask for water only to be told we have to get it ourselves and we had to open our own bottle of wine ( thank goodness they are screw tops now) and ask for glasses, it reminded me of going to a family barbecue not a restaurant.I don't think we got value for money with the meal or great service either ,very disappointed. | ||
