    The concept and the vibe of this restaurant is delightful. They offer an approach of changing their menu periodically and educating diners about the country the food is inspired by. The service was friendly and on point. Some dishes stood out more than others - particularly tasty were the tacos, the steak trio and the panna cotta. Delicious cocktails. It's a little pricey, but you are paying for the experience and the uniqueness of the menu too.

    The food was wonderful, and the ambience is unique in Joburg. Overall however it was let down by the service, which started well and then disappeared by half way through the meal. It became very hard to find anyone for service....

    The cuts of meat was not the best quality. The kebabs and the steak had think fat and sinew. We were promised that cocktails would be made at our table, but it never happened. The table was wobbly and had newspaper underneath the legs to balance it out. The waitor was friendly but we felt rushed. My expectations were not met.

    With its hidden entrance through a bookshelf, this is a novel restaurant for something different to do in JHB. The decor and ambiance is great and the restaurant is filled with a constant loud chatter. The food was good, but not great. The waiter was ok, but our food took long to come. The cocktails are interesting and delicious. So not sure, Id say it was amazing overall, but definitely something different for sure!
