    I had rump steak with café de paris butter. The most delicious steak I’ve had in years. My husband had beer battered fish and chips. Also delicious. The service was excellent.

    We had such a lovely meal celebrating our third wedding anniversary. The food was sublime, nice staff and the revamped decor is really beautiful. We would come back any time.

    Guests were delighted with the recommendation and mentioned it was their best meal they had eaten in South Africa. Well done guys. You never disappoint.

    This is an excellent restaurant. Despite being very busy, the service was excellent as was the food. I had sushi which was very good - perhaps a bit expensive and my wife had a tagine dish which was also very good. Only downside is that it's a noisy restaurant which makes conversation difficult.
