    What a treat! Monique took such great care of us - she is a gem. Chef prepared delicious food. Dee made killer cocktails. Beautiful spot, beautiful people and divine food. We will so be back.

    We were a visiting party from Somerset West with guests from Germany. The barman greeted us warmly and we sat on the lovely wrap around veranda of tis lovely victorian house with our pre-dinner drinks. The rest of our experience except for the service was appalling. The food was cold, tasteless, ill thought out - very strange pairings and extremely poorly executed. None of our plates were warm and the food most mostly dreadful. When two of our party asked for more space for the very dry looking lamb shank, they were provided with a watery chicken stock obviously quickly made by the kitchen. This restaurant will fail miserably if drastic action is not taken by management who need a chef - this was not evident on the night we visited. A most dreadful experience.

    I think they've got too few patrons to enable them to dish quality food. Extremely dry pork belly, with very few sides to get it down with. The hotel is lovely.
