    Excellent food but extremely expensive for the portion sizes, also the 2 hours turning tables is not conducive to enjoying the experience and the food. Tables also a little too close together, preferred the previous layouts

    A truly unpleasant experience. Seated as booked in the Main Restaurant, but the sound system was unbelievably LOUD. Not playing music, simply some ghastly repetitive beat. We complained, but were told the "volume control isn't working". Which seemed highly unlikely following a recent full refurb. We felt unable to stay. We ate one snack course in the outside "tent", then abandoned our bottle of wine and simply ran away. NEVER AGAIN! Worst dining experience of our whole three week South African visit.
