    If you ask more money than Fyn, La Colombe and Salsify, you have to deliver, but that was far from it. We have visited more than 150+ Michelin starred restaurants in the world, so we have know how to compare. The food was too complex and incoherent, the (spicey) sauces overpowering the ( sometimes delicate ) protein. Most of the wine list was not available. They tried upselling the cocktail pairing. Service was also not the level you would expect. Overall, very disappointing (and way too expensive)

    The squid game and the Drake as well as better in Cape Town were our favourites!!! The texture of Beet on the brain was different… I loved the ambience and the experience which was so cool, definitely must do! Personally, I am not a sweet person so the dessert got a bit too much in quantity but still very delicious ! I could have done with more savoury dishes in saying that … saw those were too die for but excellent service !!!

    I had booked dinner for my husbands birthday. Chef Darren, so kindly, agreed to decorate the chairs with balloons. We happened to be the only 2 people dining and had a beautiful, intimate dinner. The cocktail pairing was sublime and we had the best time with Chefs Darren and Lesedi and head of beverages, Alex. They were attentive, fun and just so easy to chat with. The food was the best I have had in Cape Town. Thank you Darren, Lesedi and Alex. You made our night!

    I was honoured to finally get a chance to dine at this restaurant. The entire experience exceeded my expectations. It wasn't about the meals only, it's about the entire experience, hip hop music played with each serving. Each meal was explained to us, 11 different courses at the end was worth it. We were quite impressed with such beautiful, tasty food, loved the ambience
