    Review of On The Square Buffet - 17 December 2024 I recently had the opportunity to celebrate a family gathering at Capetonian at On The Square Buffet on 17 December 2024, and I must admit, I left feeling quite disappointed. Having previously visited on 26 April 2024, where we enjoyed a fantastic variety of salads, dishes including curries, ribs, prawns, and delightful desserts, we had high hopes for our festive celebration this time around. Unfortunately, the selection during our recent visit was quite limited. While the food we did try was nice, it felt like a step back in terms of variety. The lack of diverse options, especially for desserts, was surprising given the festive season. We expected something more special, especially considering our previous experience. Additionally, the service left much to be desired. We found ourselves waiting a long time to place our beverage orders, and even longer for them to arrive. In a bustling dining environment, this can be frustrating, especially when there are many other dining options available in the area. Despite these setbacks, I hold onto hope that On The Square can elevate their standards. The competition is fierce, and diners are willing to explore other venues that offer both quality and variety at a comparable price. I genuinely believe that with some improvements, they could once again become a top choice for family celebrations. Here’s to hoping for a better experience next time! Ms Parker
