Went here for lunch with my son. Started off not so great, waitress came to us with a mouth full of food and licking fingers while talking to us, but anyway. The food was great. We had to alligator starter and lamb pasta, fair prices for what you get. Stunning seating area outside, the creme brûlée was disgusting I’m sorry. But split and lumpy so that was disappointing. Service was slow but the actual meal was worth while.

Perfect location to relax and unwind whilst surrounded by nature. The set up is very laid back. The service was laid back too but okay overall. The food was well prepared, I enjoyed the duck meat. Would recommend for the atmosphere

Had a lovely date here on Monday night. There was a function happening so we were seated in a quiet cozy spot upstairs but later moved outside for the vibes. Ambience was lovely and the service was impeccable. The food is amazing, with generous portions. Highly recommend the kudu, it melts in your mouth and the flavours are amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant. There’s also safe parking.

Superb Sunday Roast lunch and scrumptious Peppermint crisp dessert exceeded expectations! Attentive, professional staff; cozy atmosphere with a blazing fire in the fireplace and relaxing music set a lovely atmosphere. No rush, no shouting over loud music.. a peaceful and calm ambience!
A great experience and I will certainly be returning soon!

Absolutely AMAZING food. Everything was absolutely fantastic, but the Crocodile Carpaccio and the Frito Misto were the absolute stars. Unique, tasted amazing and looked beautiful. But not only that, the service was astonishingly good too. We had to leave for the airport, and only had 45 minutes, but our server ensured we had our food within 15! And paired with amazing local wines too. Really recommend going here when you’re in Cape Town, even if you have to drive 30 mins extra!
