Reviewed 26 June 2023

Friends had recommended Picasso and we were keen to try for a special occasion. We had an initial very friendly greeting! But unfortunately we did not have a great experience after this. The menu offers local beers, but when we enquired about these it took...2 trips back and forward to the bar from the waitress, only to be told they only sell Castle Lite. Then we ordered the food, which sounded lovely. Only half the meal arrived. We started on this and the food we ate was very tasty. After we finished everything and no one had come to check on us, we called the waitress over and asked for the rest of the food. Nothing came out and no explaination. We finally got up and asked the manager to check. She went to the kitchen, but again neither waitress nor manager came to report back. Finally the waitress asked if they should ‘continue’ making the food… but as we had been there for an hour and a half we declined. The bill was brought to us without explainaition, apology or even the manager coming to check if we were ok. We were very disappointed by the experience, especially as it was supposed to be a special day. Accidents happen, but there is no excuse for poor service and no apology.More

We went for a late lunch and ended up there for dinner as well. Sat in the outside section amongst the fire pits listening to live music. Ambience and food was really good. During our stay, we went to a few places and this was...the best, in our opinion. the only reason I didn't give an excellent rating is that the service was on the slow side and when it got busy, we waited. It was the weekend of the big rugby game so maybe they were caught unawares.More

I had two pizzas in a week, wood fired and generous toppings - both excellent. Also ate the chicken quesedilla which was very dry.

Very good food. Very cool surrounding, the place is alive with nice music and decorations. They have a crazy tequila menu and a nice cocktail menu. Tapas, Mexican food, everything was great Little bad point : we booked a table because it was a busy...night and they choose the worst table to be reserved.More

Wasn't sure what to expect for a Mexican place in White River, but was pleasantly surprised. Outside bar area across the parking lot had live music and great view for sundowners. Tacos had lots of meat and guacamole, but not much else. Some random non-mexican...stuff on the menuMore

This was a family outing, after reading some good reviews we thought it would be a great place to go to. The ambience of the place is extremely relaxed and there is also a beach vibe across the restaurant. We are a family which eats...only chicken, fish and mutton. There was chicken dishes and we decided to try the Tacos, Nachos and Quesidilla. The nachos were great and the chips were definately fresh! However we found the that the chicken used in all 3 meals were the same cubed pieces, there was no difference. This basically meant that we had the same chicken 3 different ways. I would suggest that the restaurant have flavours (hot, mild, medium). Also the chicken would be better if they had coated it in a sauce or have different seasoning for the chicken. Unfortunately we were a bit dissapointed at the place.More

To spoil the only Brazilian in our family, we decided on Picasso's for her birthday lunch. It was a great experience for her, and everybody thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Highly recommended when you're in the Lowveld.
