    Waited a long time for simple requests. Waitress needs training and attitude change. Lamb shank was very chewy. Tuna salad was meager . Tapas starter was great.

    What a gem! Relaxed atmosphere with tasteful music in the background, breathtaking views of table mountain, delectable food and drinks (probably the best lamb shank I have ever hand) and attentive service !

    A great venue, with really good food and drinks. Sitting on the terrace is a no-brainer. Shout out to Ronald our waiter, thank you for your great service and attention paid to our table throughout the time that we were there.

    My booking was made for the balcony on the second floor to be able to hear the jazz music from Saturday night, but I was seated on the top floor at the bar, so that was disapointing.
