I have noted that you rated the Ambience and Toilets lower but sadly you did not give any reason why. Feedback would have really been helpful to assist us in improving where needed. Kind regards

    Everything at Asara was just perfect. Calvin who took care of us deserves a massive bonus, he went above and beyond to make sure we were happy at all times, chef Nathaniel gave us such delicious food, that even the fussy kids were happy. Thank you for making our celebration extra special.

    We are a lunch group that likes to try different venues. Unfortunately our overall experience at Asara was not up to our standard. Your portions are very small and the price too expensive. Unfortunately we will.not be recommending your establishment.

    Asara Wine Estate responded on Wed 21 May 25:
    Dear Annemarie, Thank you for visiting Asara and for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We take pride in offering high-quality dishes made with fresh, carefully selected ingredients, and we understand that portion size and value are important aspects of any dining experience. Your comments have been noted and shared with our team as we continually strive to improve. While we're disappointed we didn’t meet your group’s expectations this time, we sincerely appreciate your honesty. We hope you might consider giving us another try in the future—perhaps with our newly introduced Raphaels Menu, designed with fresh offerings and value in mind. Kind regards,

    I booked a last-minute mothers day lunch at Raphael's Restaurant on Asara wine estate. I was grateful for the last minute availability. The reception was welcoming, the service was a little slow at first, but improved as the time progressed. There was a set menu with a few options, the meals (starter and mains) were good, not many complex flavours, but a hearty and sizeable portion. Considering all three courses cost R550 per person, it was quite good value for money. The food itself isn't compelling me to return to Raphael's again; however, the view is exquisite and I'm very keen to try some of their signature cocktails.

    Dear Mr Blom, Thank you for joining us at Raphael’s for Mother’s Day and for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback. We’re delighted to hear you appreciated the warm welcome and that the service imporved throughout your visit. It's great to know you found value in our special set menu and enjoyed the hearty portions, as well as the stunning views that make our estate so unique. That said, we truly value your honesty regarding the food experience and take your comments to heart. We strive to create dishes that are not only generous but also memorable, and your feedback helps us continue refining our offerings. We're also pleased to hear that our signature cocktails caught your attention — we'd love the opportunity to welcome you back soon for our new Raphaels Al La Cart Menu, perhaps while soaking in another sunset over the vineyards. Thank you once again, and we hope to see you again soon. Kind regards,
