    I had the worst experience ever at this restaurant. It was supposed to be an enjoyable day, as it was my wife's birthday, but the staff was far too casual. I had to look for someone to help us get seated. We were presented with two different menus without any explanation, and the menu I received didn’t include most of the food options. Later, I found out it was the lunch menu, but this should have been clarified from the start. The worst part was when I ordered a quail but was served duck instead. When I asked about the mix-up, I was told I had to accept whatever was available, according to the chef. I requested to speak to the chef, but my request was ignored, even though a gentleman at the next table received attention from the chef. Given my total bill of about 6,000, I will never recommend this place to anyone. The chef's attitude needs to change. If I had been offered the option to choose something else instead of being forced to take the duck, my experience would have been much better. We went there with the family on 15/6/26.

    Hi Siboniso, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry that your wife’s birthday celebration did not meet expectations, what you experienced was not reflective of the standards we strive to uphold. Your feedback has been shared with both our kitchen and service teams as we continue to improve communication, consistency, and the overall guest experience. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and are sorry that such a special occasion was overshadowed by these shortcomings.

    Food was great. Portions very generous. We had a very large group so staff got overwhelmed towards the end. Best place to dine
