The legendary Grill Room has been renowned for its fine dining and outstanding cuisine for almost 70 years.

Under the culinary leadership of the Executive Chef, the menu is an inspired combination of classic favourites, created by Bea Tollman, president and founder of the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, the restaurants Signature Dishes and contemporary creations, inspired by current global trends.

Classic Grill Room touches include the authentic Gueridon service, where food is prepared and presented at the individual diners table and the Classic 1920s Hors d Oeuvres Trolley, with an extensive range of 18 ‘old world appetizers.

With over 50 years of experience, Maitre‘d Hendry Pakiri, still presides over the elegant dining room.

    Excellent as always. Compliments to the Chef, George Sekulias, Scott Morgan and all the staff involved. It takes many many days preparing for an event like this. Look forward to the next one in the New Year 2025.

    I have been to the Grill Room on several occasions, sadly, Friday22 Nov was nothing to boast about. I found the new menu which has been in place for the past 3 months very uninteresting. My daughter has the fish with crab option as her main and she almost left if untouched as it was tasteless. In the past you served the TROLLEY with appetizers which was an all time hit. I have enquired about this several times post COVID and the response has been disappointing. I must admit the the rolls and bread were only served to us once our orders were placed. This was a long time after we arrived considering that 2 of the 5 five guests were diabetic and we had not eaten since lunch. The marscopone butter with (something green) was tasteless. Previously, your biltong butter was awesome. Sadly, i must place on record that I find the food at Sugar Club Beverly Hills much more appetizing at present. As this was my birthday dinner, I was not impressed with your menu. Kind Regards Marcy Padayachee 0844000111
