    The service was exceptional but the food was over priced for what we got. R385 for a portion of kingklip.

    Our sole arrived at the table barely warm, which was a shame. The tuna was pretty bland it would have been good to have an accompaniment, such as wasabi, I asked for tartar sauce, none available, so I settled for mayo! Vegetables were thin strips of something, not sure what. A bit disappointing overall.

    Dear Mr. Hamilton Thanks for the review of our bistro. Its disappointing to get such poor feedback on the food, it is certainly not the norm. My sincere apologies the food was not up to our usual standard and I will take your feedback up with the kitchen team. Our management team did offer your guest to reheat or make a new Sole dish, which was declined. Either way, we should have got it right the first time. We hope to see you again and offer you the French Connection experience you heave come to expect in our bistro. Regards Matthew (Owner)
