    The venue is lovely. Just a few things to note: 1. The set up is smaller than the Clay Cafe in Hout Bay, so choice is limited. 2. We ordered the cheese platter and charcuterie platter. The menu states 4-5 people. It does not work for 4-5 people. The meats were also very fatty. Not the best choice in my opinion. I would not order these again. 3. The live music was nice, but the volume was a bit loud. If you don't want that experience, don't go on a Sunday when they have live music. In general the experience was nice. I just would have wanted more choice in what I could paint, more options for helping me stencil or draw on my item. The service was great and the staff were very friendly and professional.
