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. Views are 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 at The Roundhouse is a relaxed all-day affair, with an array of outdoor spaces that take full advantage of this dramatic mountainside location.

    Mac "n" cheese balls were bland, very little cheese or flavour. The quinoa salad had overdone watery quinoa so not my favourite. Husband loved the oysters. Lovely staff and ambience and views with unfortunately disappointing food.

    Lovely setting for a celebration lunch. Had to ask to move tables when we arrived as we were seated next to the jumping castle but staff obliged

    Disappointed! Food was very average, service was awful. The wrong drink arrived 4 times & food we didn’t even order kept appearing at our table.

    Maybe it was because of the holiday yesterday (many customers), but based on our experience, we wouldn’t visit you again. Service took ages (although friendly), we ordered a jug of Pimms, which came without cucumber and mint, which are two main ingredients. After asking our waitress about it, she went, and came back - there was no cucumber at all. Then you cannot sell a drink like this. We ordered pan fried calamari, which came ice cold. Again, we asked our waitress about it, she then took it, but offered nothing else. The location itself is very beautiful, but yesterday it was a disaster.

    Fairly average really. Not as good as I expected it to be. Service was quick but not particularly friendly, the guests seemed an annoyance. Food was okay but lacking, smoked ribs were dry without a sauce and the pizza a little undercooked in the middle. It's a nice place to sit and take in the view but that's about it.

    Beautiful scenery, good food but poor service. Mixed up our order, delay in serving, different servers bringing the food and drinks but no one taking ownership of the table. Quite confusing and annoying.
