    What a great experience! The food was delicious and very generous portions, amazing atmosphere and Juan is a great host! Service can be improved in terms of timing: sides only came after all the meat

    Absolutely loved the meat options and the ciabatta. Our waitress was new so she didn’t have too much knowledge of the meat vs mixed option and in what stages the food came out but she did well considering. Managed to organize beers cause there was nothing on tap. I would suggest serving the salad and fries with the second round of meat, rather than first. Overall great experience and will recommend !

    Amazing concept, beautiful outdoor venue, the food that we did taste of the first 2 courses was good, BUT... Marketing and advertising were misleading and what was offered was not what we received when we visited the restaurant and owner (Juan) pushed the blame to Knorhoek Wine Estate for the mistake of making it appear that the seven course fixed menu includes a wine pairing. The owner, Juan, fails to take responsibility for any mistake, treats his staff poorly, treated us as his customers with no regard, and openly tarnishes the Knorhoek Wine Estate's brand. What was suppose to be a special dinner for my wife's birthday turned into a disaster and the worst experience I have ever had in any restaurant.

    A rustic & authentic outdoor Argentinean pop-up event experience. Prepare yourself for a long, slow , lazy day outdoors ....the service is slow to manage expectations...but once Phase 1 and Phase 2 courses come out, then its worths the wait. Enjoy

    Juan is an amazing chef and gracious host. Come with an appetite and make sure you have several hours to stretch out the meal - and your waistline! Wonderful and unique experience in the Winelands.
