    We were always very fond of Dash, but this is an excellent successor, perhaps even a little better. Specially enjoyed the Kalahari rib eye steak, the Karoo lamb, and the mushroom starter. Also the curated cocktails - much debate about the favourite, but Night Terrarium made a strong showing. John handled the lunch service with verve and efficiency. After his shift ended, Allan splendidly handled the follow-on drinks as we whiled away the afternoon enjoying the unbeatable Table Mountain views from the terrace.

    A bit noisy, guests felt the wine pairing was a bit expensive, other than that, they had a great experience
