Craddled by the folds of the Table Mountain National Park and sheltered by towering oaks and whispering stone pines, The Lawns nestles against the rump of the Table Mountain National Park. With views out across the Atlantic Ocean and the mountain peaks known as the Twelve Apostles, while high above cable cars whisk tourists to the top of Cape Towns iconic mountain. The Lawns is a relaxed all-day affair, with an array of outdoor spaces that take full advantage of this dramatic mountainside location.

    We celebrated my son's 24th birthday there yesterday. Everything was absolutely fantastic and we will definitely be back.

    The service team (waitrons and front of house) need better training. Food was delicious.

    Had a not amazing experience at the Lawns, had not visited in over two years and I must admit I was not impressed with the service. Quality of service and customer care has deteriorated. We were attending an Aperol Spritz event there was long intervals between the courses. Our cutlery was dirty , we had to call the waiter or remind them of things we needed like salt and pepper. To clear the table and bring our water. Mid our lunch we were asked to move table to accommodate a private party that was taking place opposite our table. We brought all this to the managers attention and he did assist but all in all it was a disappointing visit and under whelming for such an establishment as The Lawns

    Do not eat there expecting good food!! As first time visitors, we left feeling completely unimpressed. The food was underwhelming at best - cold, loveless globs of undercooked cheese hiding soggy nacho chips and uninspiring cold pizza that tasted like it was last nights warmed up left overs. Clearly they are just relying on the view and pleasing Instagramable aesthetics. I have to assume that the indifferent service we received is largely due to the fact that a 10% surcharge is already added to the bill, making the waiter care less about whether we were in fact enjoying our tasteless meal, needed a second drink or the fact that our tacos mercifully never arrived. We left with a few lovely family pics but unsatisfied bellies and came home to make the kids 2 minute noodles.

    The food is a bit overpriced for the quality but its still good food. I would say you are paying for the view and the vibe and i don't mind that at all. The two cocktails i had were not amazing - they just didn't taste strong enough and i don't drink often either. Would i recommend the cocktails, defiantly not on my night. The service from the staff was amazing, friendly and super helpful. Would i come back ... yes i would come back, but more for the view than the food and drinks.

    The pizzas looked delicious, but the sushi was slightly disappointing. Excellent service and seating on lawn one would have been preferable.
