    It's a basic restaurant; the food was adequate, a little disappointing and bland, but good value. It's a nice venue to visit if you have children, offering a great view over a dam - a lovely change from Johannesburg's car parks. The live music was great!

    I wanted to use the baby changing room just before knock off time and one of your employees was using that toilet yet there were 2 available cubicles to use. I was put off by that inconsideration and opted to change my baby in the car, the attributes is similar of people using the parking for disable people. Hope you correct the behavior.
