    Intensive management attention needed! For a "premium" venue service was well below expectations. The lack of patrons, when most Constantia high-end resteraunts are perpetually full, appears to tell a story of persistent issues. To be clear, the space is beautiful, the food was good (though some "mains" portions were very small), the somellier helpful and the live music exceptional. All the down side was front of house, from an under-whelming welcome to a waitress who could not explain the tasting menu, lethargic staff, no ice-bucket for wine, and two main courses being out of stock (mussels and beef steak) on a small a la cart menu. Lastly we were billed for items we did not order nor receive. Definititely a management shake-up required!

    Had the lamb which was beautifully cooked and presented. Rather small portion for SA! Lovely location overlooking the Norval grounds. Presentation of cutlery etc lacked panache. Just got spoons for 4 plonked on a plate on the table! Not quite what one would expect from this level.

    There were issues with the website booking, but the restaurant management staff were incredibly helpful to accommodate us. The food was outstanding and our server was super. Enjoying a shady afternoon lunch in the garden was paradise.
