    Lovely meal and good service. View of the harbour not as good as some along the same area and therefore lacked a bit of atmosphere

    The evening started with the wine waiter approaching our table and asking about our tastes in wine. He then made recommendations … interestingly these suggestions were the more expensive options on the wine list, for the first option he suggested the cost of a glass was the same as a reasonably good bottle alternative. Now, onto the food service. Our starters arrived, my partner had the snoek and I had the samosas. A few minutes later, the waitress arrived with the mains … we were still eating! Instead of taking the mains back to the kitchen and allowing us to finish our starters, she started removing the starter plates from under our cutlery and replacing with the mains. We asked her to stop but she continued and when we said we had not finished … which anyone could have seen as we were still eating, she said she would come back with the remainder of our starters … she never did despite being reminded twice. My partner had the kingslip and I had the lamb ribs. My partner thoroughly enjoyed hers, the ribs were awful, all fat and gristle and nothing like the picture of the meal as shown on the website, the potato wedges were also tepid. Mentioned to waitress, she just said sorry! The bill arrived … there were several things on the bill we did not recognise, so we questioned them. The waitress said that the items she put on the bill were not necessarily what we ordered but items on the menu at the same price! A very hit and miss experience, one which we will not repeat.
