    The sushi was lovely, but two tiny portions of salmon sashimi at R200 per 6 was sliced frozen, not good enough. The oysters were superb. A real pitty!

    Cuisine similar to "any other restaurant. Deeply disappointed at oysters being OOS. That's a major reason we are major supporters of L D. However, music via Tanglewood wonderful. Thank you

    This is one of my go-to places in CPT. Food always great and gluten free options! Would be great if they add dairy free as well

    We had a lovely evening. We ordered 24 oysters the day before and received them (big beautiful oysters) when we arrived no problem. The band was good and the service excellent. Will be back soon

    We had a very underwhelming lunch yesterday. The food was very disappointing for the high price paid. We informed the staff that the calamari was inedible. They did apologise however did not take make any deductions off the bill or offer us another portion of calamari cooked better. The hake was really sub standard and sadly we won’t be back for another meal.
