A spur of the moment suggestion to out for lunch on 24 December. As we walked in there were our friends, so so they moved to a larger table.
Bearing in mind that the restaurant was not that busy, maybe 60% full, to now have...to get up to call a waiter to bring menus and a wine list is not acceptable.
To again have to get up and look for a waiter to replenish the wine is not acceptable.
There were a number of waiters just drifting around - far too many waiters, far too little organisation.
This is so typical of South African restaurants. A waiter assigned to certain tables, result ends up in poor service.
The solution? Get rid of 50% of the waiters and make the rest responsible to look after all the tables. The tips can then be shared. It works in Europe.
The food here has always been good, meals ordered as follows:-
Zucchini & feta fritters R85.00
Arrabiata pasta with chicken R105.00
Pollo Rosso R95.00
Grilled hake and chips R95.00
I had the grilled hake and it was really well done and tasty. The chips also very good. Would order it again but have it without butter sauce and rather some tartar sauce on the side.More
