    Dear Ms Watt It seems you were not happy with your experience at our Bistro. I have checked with the managers who assured me you were checked on multiple times during your meal. What a pity you did not let them know you were unhappy and we could have rectified the situation. Please feel free to email me some more details of your meal if you get a chance. Regards Matthew (Owner) matt@gordonsa.com

    Fantastic food. superb service. was a nice change to eat something that was not steak and calamari. wine and food a little over priced even for the location. R175 (£7.59) for a quite small prawn cocktail containing 5 prawns. even in over priced UK thats still double. Also: Quite difficult to eat in a cocktail glass. would be much nicer plated. Still well worth the visit

    Thanks so much for the great feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed your meal. I'm quite surprised that you found us a little overpriced. I was in London recently and the restaurant prices were 2- 3 times more than what we are charging for food and even more than that when it comes to wine. We hope to see you back again soon.

    You must check your bill carefully. For the second time running we were overcharged. If you order a carafe of wine do not pay for a bottle. The food is delicious but sadly this practice left a Sour taste in my mouth.

    Dear Leonard I'm glad you enjoyed your food with us. Our staff would never intentionally charge you the wrong amount, it was a mistake and my sincere apologies for it. We hope to see you again soon. Regards Matthew (Owner)
