The legendary Grill Room has been renowned for its fine dining and outstanding cuisine for almost 70 years.

Under the culinary leadership of the Executive Chef, the menu is an inspired combination of classic favourites, created by Bea Tollman, president and founder of the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, the restaurants Signature Dishes and contemporary creations, inspired by current global trends.

Classic Grill Room touches include the authentic Gueridon service, where food is prepared and presented at the individual diners table and the Classic 1920s Hors d Oeuvres Trolley, with an extensive range of 18 ‘old world appetizers.

With over 50 years of experience, Maitre‘d Hendry Pakiri, still presides over the elegant dining room.

    TO BE HONEST WE DID NOT THINK THAT THE BAND WAS A JAZZ BAND, THE MUSIC WAS NOT GREAT, IT WAS MORE A LOVE BOAT OLD SONGS AND NOT WHAT WAS ADVERTISED. THE FOOD WAS AVERAGE COMPARED TO WHAT WE ARE USED TO FROM THE OYSTER BOX. SERVICE IS ALWAYS GREAT AND THE STAFF ARE AMAZING. WE WERE DISSAPOINTED AFTER COMING BACK TO DURBAN AFTER BEING AWAY FOR 2 YEARS,

    Although the evening was outstanding, the artist was not up to standard and boring. This event was advertised as a jazz night and really was way below expectation. I would not recommend this and would not attend something similar in the future.
