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.

    The service was horrible. The waiter was extremely rude and not welcoming. At the end of the evening the deposit of Dineplan was also not subtracted. I had to say I made a deposit and then it was quickly corrected. I am very sure that the exclusion of the deposit was done intentionally and that this is an usual occurrence at the Lawns. It was also not clean, a lot of food laying around. In summary, a very nice place except for the service.

    My only negative comment is when booking I choose the bottom deck thinking it was the area near the kids play area, as we had our boy with us. Maybe this can be made a bit clearer for future new customers. Otherwise we had the best day. And your staff were exceptional, especially Anele. 🙏

    We had Jason as our waiter and he was fantastic. Friendly, very warm and welcoming, and really went over and above for our dinner! Highly reccomend the Lawns for a casual dinner & sunset drink!

    Having split bills was a nightmare with deposits being incorrectly allocated. Ended begin told we had a credit after spending and paying an additional R3500 and could not get a refund but had to order against the deposit!!!
