    I loved everything about our evening - such a classy venue, we were seated outside by the pool.. watching the ducks nesting... Thando looked after us so well, the food was delicious! We will certainly be back!

    Such a disappointing meal on Sunday - started off with a Caesar Salad which was delicious, hubby had the pork belly - he said was very average as it was a bit dry and the portion was to small for a main. I had the curry prawns which were completely devoid of taste, prawns were tough and the curry sauce was bland and flavourless. Dessert was a creme brulee served cold and solidified. Hubby asked for a Nonino Grappa which they had never heard of, overall a very unsatisfactory experience.... Staff were friendly and the service was punctual.
