    Spent a wonderful afternoon at Obscura. Cocktails were on point and for once in Johannesburg I got served a proper Michelada. Kudos to the manager and staff. Will be back.

    Overall, I was a bit let down with the service and value. I love the small plates to share but not all of them were something I’d order again - wedges were undercooked, there was a little lack of salt but I enjoyed the complimentary chips, lamb burgers and the chicken tacos. Other meals were alright but service let me down, sometimes difficult to locate or servers not observing their tables. The drinks were a slight let down and snakes and ladders felt a bit gimmicky if I couldn’t enjoy any signature drinks.

    Hi Rumbi, Thank you for your feedback. I will discuss all of your points with the team to see where we can improve going forward. We do hope to see you again!
