    Absolutely perfect in all aspects regarding the food, venue and service. Getting parking a challenge - as normal in Stellenbosch.

    Superb experience. Excellent ala carte menu. Great service by Neil who recommended our wines by the glass and meal selections. Quiet quaint dining room. Avocado ritz, gnocchi, mushroom risotto and lamb shank were fabulous
