    Add R100 charge for booking confirmation to the bill, without asking first for our receipt of payment. I had to effect the payment to secure my booking. Cuppachino cost on menue R35 we were charged R53 each. Requested additional bread for my cheese board, which was out of this world by the way. I was brought a bread basket and charged R140!! I highllighted that I only took 3 slices. They then changed the amount to R20. Loved the experience.

    The food was very disappointing, lacking both flavour and seasoning. The portion size for the pork belly was far too small with only two small pieces of pork the size of match boxes.

    Our party of 7 adults and 3 children were expertly taken care of by Madri-Leigh Jacobs. Her pleasant approach, product knowledge, and patience, when dealing with such a large party, were fantastic. Thank you Madri-Leigh! I hope Management appreciate you as much as we all did.
