We had a really great experience at Stefan’s. The staff were friendly and the food was amazing!

The staff could’ve been more knowledgeable on the wine.

However, this restaurant is on-par with some Michelin star restaurants in Europe.

Superb dining experience. Staff were very friendly and we had exceptional service all around, especially from Eric and Gloria. Generous portions of delicious food and wine was served. I recommend doing the wine pairing (they have some truly stunning whites). Fabulous atmosphere and decor. Will definitely be returning.

We have eaten at many restaurants around the world, and this is up there amongst the top experiences. Great attention to detail and flavour in the food (kudos to the chef) and very pleasant waitstaff.

Lupho was our server for the evening and she was great. The service from her and her colleague Eric were out of this world. Absolutely exceptional. Lupho truly goes above and beyond. Chef Stefan also stopped by at every table at the end of our meal to enquire about our experience. Great food and presentation but the highlight of the evening for sure was the service provided by the staff.
