    We have been there a few times and were really disappointed especially with the seared tuna salads which were over prices and had 6 slivers of tuna ,a few endame beans on a bed of rocket.Could’ve made a better salad at home..We ordered 3 of these salads ,well over R1000 which were a rip off and nothing special Really hope you take note of this as it didn’t seem to matter much to the management on the day. The other meals were enjoyed

    Just one vegan option to choose as main. Mushroom dish was well prepared, but not really my taste. Sesame tuna with salad was also well cooked and prepared. The salad underneath felt somewhat lost to me and without any sides the dish was rather small.
