    The service from the waiters were top Notch, however the food was not what I had seen on the adverts on TikTok as well as the website. The deserts were nice. We got there at 6.30 and headed to the dining area. First course we had was the prawn, which the guy had in a bowl and served to us. It was soggy and cold. also, the crab which I had been sooo looking forward to due to the Dala u crew video looking so ravishing was very disappointing because it was so dry and no gravy at all. I have pictures of the food. It was our Anniversary, so I do not think we got the value for money we paid R475.00 per person. I could have gone to John Dorys at a quarter of the price and the food would have been amazing and hot.

    We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. Everything was delicious but my lamb stew and vegetables. I could have enjoyed desert more if there was also vanilla ice cream.

    The menu for the weekday is really disappointing and the fact that the price was still steep, it did not meet my expectations. Dissatisfied customer
