    What a superb setting and truly wonderful South African Experience. This was my second time in the restaurant although first time dining and boy did it not disappoint! Delicious, mouth-watering food paired with excellent 'spicy' cocktails and unparallel and attentive service, particularly from Prince made a truly memorable experience. Oh, and the 'Level Up' band was on fire and had us dancing!!!!!

    Spyced was a complete delight to the senses and a wonderful night out. The set menu was sumptuous and flavorful. The live entertainment kept the energy high and they even shouted us out and gave us a personal saxophone serenade as we were celebrating our honeymoon. Our server TT was excellent. He was charming, provided good drink recommendations and waited on us attentively. Overall an amazing night out in Cape Town.
