    We recently had the pleasure of hosting international guests at your restaurant for a business dinner. Unfortunately, our experience did not meet expectations. The atmosphere was affected by a large TV showing football positioned directly behind our table, which was distracting. Overall lighting was extremely bright. The food, while presented well, was underwhelming—particularly the prawns with rice (R350+), where the rice quality was disappointing. Service felt mediocre, and overall, the restaurant seemed to have lost some of the charm and vibrant energy it was previously known for. Regrettably, based on this experience, we do not plan to return. We hope this feedback is helpful as you continue to refine your offering.
