    Highly inventive a la Carte menu. Friendly service. Wine list quite expensive but there are good value wines to be had if you look carefully.

    An excellent meal much enjoyed by all of different ages. The cocktails were great and the starters also tasty. Loved the sardines and the tuna tartare was also very good. For mains three people had fillet (perfectly cooked vegetables with it!) and my kingfish was also well prepared. A very special space with excellent views, especially sitting at a window.

    From the moment we were personally welcomed by the Duty Manager, Bronwyn, we knew that this was going to be an extra-ordinarry experience - Asanda in the restaurant ensured that we were allocated the best table in the house - our waiter, Siwe left a lasting impression - the supervisor, Aluwelwa was attentive, yet never intrusive - the views are the best in the waterfront, the food is fine dining, while the wine list is more geared towards international tourists - a must visit when in Cape Town - will certainly return.
