    Agteros was exceptional as always. Every dish was superb and cooked to perfection, waitress was super friendly and attentive and a lovely cosy vibe inside. We all had a really amazing evening and Chef Janine's food will always be my absolute favourite.

    Driving away after our meal my husband asked me what my thoughts were re our meal. I said this, I couldn’t fault a thing, friendly staff, professional server, kind and generous to our pooch, my meal (Cape Salmon) was delicious, my dessert excellent (I love pannacotta), we spent a love afternoon catching up with our friends, in fact the chef came out and said she could hear us laughing from the kitchen! You would think this constitute 5 stars YET I (and my husband) were underwhelmed. What the reason is we can’t put our finger on. Could it be that the whole experience lacked ambiance? I loved the decor but we were the only diners in a huge restaurant. It is a great pity.
