  • Reviewers' Choice 2023 - Top 100

A classic cocktail lounge, restaurant and boutique bar.

It is located upstairs overlooking 61 Harrington Street. The open panoramic windows give one a real visual of the neighbourhood and provides the perfect perch on which to sit, relax and wallow with one of our tasty libations, craft cocktails or tantalising tapas.

Expect beautifully polished wooden accents, windows, velvet bottle service booths, dedicated smoking lounge and a boutique DJ booth geared up for late evening revelry. This is a cool environment with a distinct air of sophistication.

    The service was disappointing. Despite it being a three-course dining experience, the table was not properly set, and we were given dirty glasses. There was little attention to detail. The waiter was friendly, but overall, I wouldn’t return.

    Wine & Dine Wednesdays is a must do every month. La Motte wines and the wine rep were outstanding. The menu was faultless. Thank you to our waiter Jason.

    Giving zero stars for everything. Didn’t even go to the restaurant as there was no transparency at the beginning about a R400 reservation fee. Disgraceful behaviour to be honest.
