    Food not worth the price on this occasion. Prawns tasted like frozen prawns which shouldn't be for the price they're charging. 2nd main meal wasnt great either. Overall a poor anniversary dining experience.

    Food was overall nice. However no seafood. Food run out quickly customers had to call floor manager numerous time for refill. Waiter at the end she just gave us the bill without counting so we had to full the bill. Also dishes pile up on the table after a while however restaurant was not full. Overall place was nice cosy, big area, hidden location but nice.

    Hello Bonita, thank you so much for your support and feedback. Our traditional Sunday Roast Lunch Buffet menu does not contain seafood unfortunately. At R300pp we have done our utmost to keep our menu affordable and with quality roast food. We do sincerely apologize for the ball being dropped in service, it is not the normality, and it has been dealt with the team. We do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back very soon to make it right.
