    Lovely setting, but unfortunately the service was poor. Friendly staff but not well trained. I specifically requested a romantic table, but our booking was not even acknowledged. The food was okay, my steak was a bit overcooked and my husband’s butter chicken very basic.

    We had a booking at the restaurant for 9 people, we were told it would be a Fathers day Buffet but it ended up being a Set menu, which did not live up to standard, the potatoes where overcooked and the Fish starter was salty(overseasoned) There was no rice in the main. Bread that was on the table was no fresh, it was actually stale. Lastly the Cremebrule had Elder Flower flavor which over powered the the creamy taste of a Cremebrule Also the Virgin Pinocolada was bland with no flavor. Our bill was R4950 which was very high considering that the food was just not up to scratch, The reason we made the booking was because we where of the opinion we would get the Buffet which we so enjoyed last year at Mothers Day. We are extremely disappointed .
