    Exceptional, authentic South African dishes (native SA here, now living in California). Great live singers/dancers/music. Our waitress was Hazel who was exceptionally friendly and shared details about all the dishes and made great recommendations. My 11-yo daughter was treated like a queen and loved the food too. Warm blankets and heaters made it comfortable on the beautiful patio outside, even in the winter. Thank you for a fabulous meal and experience!!

    The food was good but not unique. I could have make the same dishes in my own kitchen. I was hoping for traditional South African food with a twist of art or something amazing. Not worth the price.

    One half of my meal, v&a chicken, was very hard. I couldn't cut through the pastry and the sun-dried tomatoes was stuck to the pastry as well.
