    Great food, except the kudu dish was served cold . We did mention this to the manager . Which in return suggested what he can do - we said just offer one bottle wine . However this was still on the final bill !!!

    Excellent food, very fresh and a new take on the dishes. The dessert was the weakest of the dishes. Would highly recommend

    The Fauna menu was fantastic, with the tomato tartare and the kingklip being highlights. We did the wine pairing with the meal. All pairings were good, but one of the waiters who poured did not know the first thing about the wines and all questions were met with showing the label. The other waiters were more knowledgeable and any lack of info was made up for in very friendly service.
