    We booked for dinner early as we'd previously found Judd's Local noisy. At 1830 on a Wednesday it was quiet, with very few customers. Both of us found the food excellent and not expensive. I've rated the service we got as 4/5 because our waiter was inattentive despite having very little work. The airconditioning kept us cool on a very hot night. We'll go again.

    Lovely spot, good, but as usual the staff and waiters always treat you like they’re doing you a favour. Really poor service.

    Judd's Local responded on Fri 21 Mar 25:
    Good morning Greig, I trust you are well. Thank you for taking the time review our restaurant and express your disappointment in the service you received. Could I please ask that you get in touch with me directly or let me know if I could give you a shout. I spoke with the manager on duty and she mentioned that she, as well as the door lady and waiter had checked up on you over the course of your dinner and you didn't mention any issues with service to them. I would just like to understand where we can improve to give you a better experience overall on the next visit as well as pin pointing things we as a team need to work on. Thank you again for taking the time and please accept my apologies for it not being the experience you deserve and that we strive to put out. I look forward to hearing from you. Kindest Regards, Bryan Judd 0764739821 info@juddslocal.co.za

    We were a large group of 14 and although arrangements were made to facilitate us on the veranda. At our request the restaurant staff quickly reorganized the furnishings to accommodate us inside. My lamb parcel and the salt and pepper squid starter were great and my wife's lime said starter and gnocchi main was also very nice. General comments from the group was that everyone enjoyed their meal.

    Heerlijk gegeten, sfeervol ingericht, in eigen stijl! Vriendelijk personeel. Niet twijfelen maar gewoon reserveren!
