    We had the oxtail with mash and lamb shank with basmati rice. The oxtail was under-seasoned and plain. The lamb shank was too salty and we ended up spending close to R1000 for honestly unsatisfactory food. The desert came and the chocolate tart had peanut butter. The food was a 3/10, desert 3/10. On a positive note, our waiter was excellent – very friendly, professional, and helpful. Service was definitely a 10/10
