    Was my daughter’s graduation dinner and was disappointed by how the night turned out. Our waiter seemed unprofessional and not trained properly ( didn’t know anything about wine) and the service was slow. He also dropped a whole thing of garlic over the graduand and her clothes and left the broken glass and garlic all over the floor for our whole meal. He suggested a wine which then came and was extremely faulty so we sent it back but had to wait for about 30 minutes before he removed the old one and brought a new bottle while serving all the tables around us. There was no professionalism or any fast attempt to improve our already bad experience.The food was below average, especially for the outrageous prices. Very disappointing.

    Absolutely amazing restaurant, best gluten free pizza in stellenbosch with seriously top quality ingredients. Super grateful for the added caution with cross contamination with my pizza.
