    We had a great meal and service was exceptional. Our waitress went out of her way to accommodate our needs as we had a toddler. The ambience was wonderful and the evening was memorable for the whole family. We will certainly come again.

    Food was lovely and worth the prices Service was average and not the friendliest - had to look for our waitress on several occasions My 2 year old daughter drank from a glass that was chipped from the rim - an extremely dangerous hazard and could have resulted in her lip being cut

    There wasn't lots of hot food to choose from, no nice Sunday lunch variety. We had to wait long for our mimosas, we weren't told that the bottomless mimosas had an end time to it. No last call round was mentioned.

    We've been looking forward to this brunch experience for a while and we wanted to love it but it was okay. It was one of my birthday treats and I was a bit disappointed. It's an average food experience when compared to other similarly priced buffets. For the amount of money you spend, you really could get a better dining experience as one is spoilt for choice in cape town. People seemed to love the bottomless mimosas which you pay extra for and it sort of keeps the vibe going. The best part of the cuisine was the mussels. Hands down the best we've had and I think their ala carte menu is probably better to order from - wish i could have gone this route instead of the brunch. There were also no labels on the brunch items and surely people should know the names of what they're eating. Our waiter was MIA for the first 30minutes and we found ourselves getting cutlery etc. ourselves. The booking system: you book via dineplan, and pay the deposit. I called about 3 days before to change the reservation to 2 people. Sorted. Then 2 days before, I get 2 different calls from 2 different people talking about no deposits etc. Then when we get there, the original reservation is still captured. It really is a messy system. The band was great but played periodically and I mean like 1 hour break, then played, break again, then played, then break again, which is weird considering that brunch is only from 11:30am until 2pm. But maybe this is standard for a brunch. I stand corrected but they were good...

    From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our waiter, Arthur was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. He gave great recommendations, I could tell a lot of care went into both the preparation and presentation. Every dish was full of flavour, which was perfectly cooked it was high quality. For the dessert Arthur recommended the cheesecake and it didn't disappoint. If you're looking for a place to take your family, this place is definitely worth visiting. I’ll definitely be coming back!
