The place itself is quite nice, and the service was absolutely impeccable. The waiters knew exactly when to clear items from the table without being intrusive or disrupting our conversation. Their attentiveness was excellent and one of the highlights of the experience. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the restaurant. The music was uncomfortably loud — I was there with business partners, and it was very difficult to have a proper conversation. The food, in my opinion, was extremely disappointing. The dessert (peppermint cake) was far too sweet, with unbalanced flavors and a texture that simply did not work. The ice cream pairing felt off, and even the bread element did not complement the dish. Honestly, any standard cake from another café or bakery would have been far better. The coffee and hot beverages were also below standard — the “dirty chai” was especially unpleasant. For what we received, the food was extremely overpriced. The bill came to an eye-watering R800, and I left feeling completely unsatisfied. To put it into perspective, I believe a meal from KFC, McDonald’s, or Wimpy would have been more enjoyable. The only thing I can say I genuinely enjoyed was the tap water Chantel at front door is a keeper She was the reason we decided to pick this restaurant and the food was exceptional as well as an impeccable ambiance..The female manager with the long black hair has wonderful people skills and the waiters, oh mine! Each one of them was amazing! Don’t ever change this winning team. They are the reason for this great experience and the chef was totally awesome and dropped by to say hello. We took some photos with her too and she was so gracious. Well done. I’ll be back. 10/10 culinary experience. Generous portions and my steak was cooked to perfection. It’s not noisy. They have the friendliest staff and you don’t wait long for meals. The waiter Nqob’izitha made my experience 10/10. Definitely coming back again with a few friends.
