    Service was shocking , thank you to the lady waiter that saved our experience half way. That was not lakker. Food was great but service needs alot of work!!!! Waiting 45min for water and bubbles was not good! We got up 3 times to ask for our drinks.

    A huge favourite of ours anyway, they’ve just gone up even further in our estimation, by providing a wonderful birthday supper for 16 of us; superbly warm professional service, great food, fabulous value, in their stunning room at the top of a heritage house. Even the soundtrack is perfect. Highly recommended, and an absolute little gem of the Cape Town dining scene…

    Wonderful spot and the team that runs this place is really slick! Great food and very good vibe. Only thing I would recommend is something to absorb a bit of the sound in the restaurant as it was quite loud.
