    The food was delicious and the atmosphere and decor beautiful! Unfortunately the wrong dish was ordered for me - I look forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.

    Very disappointing evening last night at The Wes where I took guests from London. I would not recommend it and will not be returning. Service was poor, she kept forgetting to bring items of drink & food that had been ordered so it meant that the waits were longer than they should be and got out of synch with the courses. The mussels were very poor. All in all, it was a great let down as we had been looking forward to the evening based on a review in InsideGuide.

    HI Andrew, Thank you for your feedback. I’m truly sorry your experience fell short of expectations, especially with service delays and the mussels. This is not the standard we strive for, and I’ll address these concerns with our team immediately. Kind regards, Megan

    It does what is says, classic bistro style menu and cooking. It was a bit of retro fun, cocktails were good and the dessert, a Paris-Brest, was excellent. Happy days, yummy food!

    Nice new restaurant in Cape Town. The cocktail was very nice but food however is basic which can be unacceptable by Cape Town Standards, as we are spoilt for choice for superb tasting food especially along Bree Street and around the CBD. It was First Thursdays, so it was busy and service slim. They forgot to deduct the Dineplan deposit I made so had to remind the waitress. At least it is checked off my list now.

    Dear Temi, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the cocktail but regret the food and service fell short of expectations. Your comments have been noted, and we’ll work on improving. Apologies for the Dineplan oversight, and we appreciate your understanding. We hope to welcome you back for a better experience. Best regards, Kuhle
