    The food was disappointing and far below what one would expect from a restaurant associated with Bertus Basson. It started with the bread, which wasn’t stale but certainly not fresh. The squid was dry and the flavours didn’t work well together. The shrimp cocktail was particularly poor — I understand the intention of an “old school” dish, but it tasted and looked more like something from a local Spar takeaway than a carefully executed plate. The chicken was reasonably tender, but overloaded with butter, which completely overpowered the intended chutney-baked flavour. Very disappointing to say the least.

    We had an amazing culinary experience and loved every minute of our lunch - from delicious cocktails to our multiple shared plate feast - we savoured the flavours and textures of each dish. Hats off to everyone the food and service were outstanding! We will be back, thank you. Cheers Ali McCutcheon.

    The lambs were ok but the muscle curry tasted off and we sent them back but didn’t get a response. Overall the food was poor and the setting is quite nice, won’t try again

    Very friendly hostess. Service was slow from our waiter, but he was friendly. Overall, the restaurant is in a great location situated in a hotel with a cool interior. The burger was exceptional!

    This was an incredible experience. The food was outstanding. We both had the chicken pasta and the flavour a were really great. We also had the garlic flat bread and it’s the best we’ve ever had. Definitely a worth while experience and we will be back

    My Sirloin steak was average. The side dishes were tasty. The Peppermint Crisp Pie was disappointing. The service was great & like the vibe of the restaurant.
