[1] Reviewers have criticized the restaurant for its limited drinks menu. [1]

Reception

In her review for PerthNow , Gail Williams praised the toothfish. The kinoco caviar pasta was described by her as an 'absolute standout'. She criticized the barrimundi as 'slightly mushy', and the plum miso as 'a tad too sweet'. [2]

In his review for The West Australian , Simon Collins praised the caviar pasta. The braised lamb shoulder, and the duck and scallop dish which 'spent a little too long on the grill' were both described as 'slight disappointments'. However, he said that the dessert partly made up for the experience, praising the cheesecake and matcha green tea gelato. Collins scored it 14/20, writing: [1]

"There is a good reason that Song’s modern Japanese eatery will chalk up 20 years in November — a remarkable achievement for any restaurant, let alone one putting some odd twists and turns on a cuisine that often celebrates authenticity."
