    Wine a little over-priced

    Would not recommend. My partner and I opted for the four-course tasting menu at ZAR 595 per person with wine pairing, which initially seemed like great value for money. The food itself was tasty - we particularly enjoyed the oysters and prawns. However, all steaks are basted in a “home sauce” that isn’t described on the menu. In reality, it’s essentially a BBQ sauce, which in our opinion overpowered the flavour of what would otherwise have been a lovely steak. If you’re not a fan of BBQ sauce, this is probably not the place for you. The wine glasses were exceptionally small - understandable for a pairing, but these were noticeably tiny. Service was also disappointing. Our server was slow and often brought the food before the wine pairing, with no explanation of the wines. He also forgot to bring our dessert, which we had to remind him about, and when he finally came over at the end, he was listening to football on his phone. The restaurant’s photos suggest a quiet, upmarket atmosphere, but during our visit there was a table of around 30 men who were extremely loud, which detracted from the experience. Overall, while the food was good, the service and atmosphere did not justify the experience
