    Saturday we had a supper buffet booking, I booked a week in advance, on arrival there was no table ready for us and we waited in the lounge while they moved tables around. There was from what l saw 2 parties going on and we were then seated adjacent to 1 of the parties that was about 16 people. We are a couple and sat at a small table for two. As more people arrived, 2 groups of about 10-16 people per group walked to the dining area and staff then scrambled around moving tables and chairs, setting up their seating, even moving some alone diners mid-supper, l was quite upset and would have refused to be moved. Staff knows in advance how many diners are expected as you have to book before hand. We all sat very close to each other at this point and you can imagine the noise level from the parties and all the adult loud conversations, at 1 point even staff joined in on the dancing and noise, not a very nice ambiance when going on a dinner date, we felt so uncomfortable, we are regulars for Eids, breakfasts etc. The staff wasn't very organised, the waiter spilled my daquari, table cloth was soaked and dirty, no apology. The food was so average, almost disappointing, rump steak was almost biltong like.. If it wasn't for the gravy,calamari was like rubber and tasteless, dessert was average, trifle cups, mini cakes, mousse etc.,lamb/mutton curry tasty but the meat was tough. This was far from what we have experienced before, we left way before supper was supposed to be over. Overall very, very disappointing experience, will not be doing supper buffet again.
