The service was very slow. We visited during a busy Sunday afternoon, and the staff seemed overwhelmed. After being seated for 10 minutes without receiving menus, we had to go to the reception to request them ourselves. Despite this, the food was amazing, and the pork ribs were cooked to perfection!

The grilled chicken was swimming in a basting sauce, totally unappetising, as the charcoal grilled effect was totally lost. A pity the chef can get something so basic wrong, it's a sign something is going wrong in a place calling itself a grill. Used to be better

A great party night out at the Cattle Baron enhanced by bringing our own bottles. The rolled beef 3 x 120 gram rolled sirloin and rump was an inspired choice. Great food and attentive friendly service. Real value for money. Treat yourself and enjoy.

Being my 1st time At a Cattle Baron, I was quite surprised at the very reasonable prices and very delighted with the excellent quality of the food! Will DEFINITELY be returning very soon with other friends.. Thnks Mathew for serving up a fabulous night! Oh, and corkage is FREE!!!

We normally come 3 or 4 times when we visit family, tonight was out first and last time ! We both ordered drinks and when we drank them wanted to order a bottle of Rose wine, they brought the beer but the wine never appeared, when the waiter finally came he told us that they didn’t have any Rose and offered us a sweet white we declined and ordered a glass of dry wine instead of a bottle, how can a business be out of Rose wine? We both ordered burgers one with chips and one with salad, I also ordered a side of onion rings. The order came but when it did appear it was lukewarm warm, we had to ask for the onion rings but when they came they were cold, we told the waiter when he finally appeared and he took them off the bill. When he cleared the plates we asked for the dessert menu but again it never appeared, we have never received such bad service and we did tell the person at the payment desk, we also we never be back !!

Had an awful experience at Cattle baron Constantia last night. My father called to make a booking for 5 people at 6pm. Booking was confirmed by Hostess/ Manager? When we arrived for our dinner booking,we gave them the booking name and were showed to a table right in front of the door, in the draft. The restaurant was apparently fully booked and the table we were to be seated at only at 4 chairs. We asked to be seated at a different spot, the rude arrogant “hostess” suggested we sit upstairs (very begrudgingly). She tried to put us at a 2 different tables and rudely suggested that “ the little ones” ( my twin sister, myself and 8 year old daughter), and the adults can sit at the other table.My father then told her that the “little ones” are actually adults, 35! And asked if she was suggesting that a group of 5 people must be split into 2 tables? She then slammed her hands down on the chair and huffed and rolled her eyes, and just glared at the poor waiter standing with her. She argued back and forth with my father as if it was too much trouble to push the tables together so we could sit and have dinner as a family. I got upset and suggested we leave as we not being made welcome. As we were leaving she said we can sit in the courtyard, meaning outside in the freezing air! We will never go back, the lack of respect and customer service was shocking!

I, my family, friends been to Constantia CB many times. We either have hamburgers or steak. Last nite was not good. Hamburger tasteless, burnt on outside, bun was stale, hardly any blue cheese had to ask for more! One lady had steak Sirloin very tough,chewy...2 other ladies weren't impressed either. Food took a while to come, we ordered veg that didn't arrive.....it was a birthday celebration so didn't want to spoil the evening. Will think twice about returning guess the Owner/manager step up to the bar as food not good.

Worst restaurant experience ever, we arrived on time for our table that we had booked due to the Christmas holidays and lots of visitors to Cape Town. On arrival our table was not ready, we were offered a seat at the bar while the Hostess was getting the overstaying diners out. While at the bar it was as if we were invisible, the barman or any member of staff did not offer us a drink or any eye contact. After some time we were told where our unset table was and worked our way over to it. From the time of entering and receiving our meals an hour had passed. While waiting for our food we observed several issues with patrons at other tables having issues with their orders and asking for the bill and leaving. Now it was our turn, my wife ordered a m/w fillet which came to the table m/r, the salad had the core of the lettuce partially cut up and confidently served, this was taken back to the kitchen and another was never returned. My steak was supposed to be medium but was served tough and well done. We both returned our meals, my wife's steak returned cooked to her liking, my new steak arrived some time after and was cooked to my liking but the meat was rotten and had a very bad aroma, the manager was confronted but never came around, the poor waitress had to deal with all the issues. 2 steaks had been returned with the same issue that evening. Plates that the food was served on were cold, load shedding was blamed for that. Vegetables that are offered as complimentary never arrived, when asked about the veggies the answer was that you have to ask for them, first time that I have experienced that at any of the Cattle Baron restaurants I have visited, probably this was the last time too.

This branch of Cattle Baron has to be the diamond in the Groups crown Tonight we had (I am sure this is their signature dish) the Madagascan Pepper Fillet. It was superb Meat was melt in your mouth tender, the sauce had just enough bite and was bursting with flavour, cooked to perfection, meat temperature was spot on and the side of chips and veg were also delicious. Chips with nice and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and were white and not the usual too dark colour that most Restaurants serve up (sign of old oil I believe) Ryno the Manager was on point and highly attentive to the busy needs of the Restaurant, yet managed to stop by our table and pass a few words and assisted with bringing the bill etc Cattle Baron Constantia - tonight you scored a full 10/10 🥩🍷👌🏼

Although we had reserved a table, we were assigned the worst table. Only after long discussions were we offered an acceptable table. The serving daughter could not give us the password for the wifi because she does not have the competence for it. The quality and presentation of the food was inadequate. Although the owner of the restaurant walked past our table three times, he did not greet us as customers.

We arrived for an early lunch. White table cloths and friendly staff greeted us. Besides an extensive menu there was a lovely Value Menu with specials for every palate. We ended up ordering from there and weren’t sorry. My 200g steak was cooked to perfection and my 2 lady guests who each had their Good Ole Fish and Chips raved about it. You can also bring your own wine. This is going to be our regular stop whenever we’re in the area. Great food, service and ambiance = 5 stars!

came in yesterday and ordered 2 burgers and 1 kids chicken nuggets. I called in to collect at 4.10. The food was given to me. I went home and opened all, only to find the sauce was not included with the burger even though I was charged for this. Even worst the butternut was rotten and completely off and inedible. My wife had to throw it out and couldn't eat the spinach either as it was pilled next to the rotten butternut. I'm very disappointed as I had just been to Simonstown the evening before and has a great experience , so I was excited to try the burgers as i work in the area, only to find it was not even close to the same standard.

Went for the new lunch menu and was blown away by the quality and value of the calamari dish and the 200g sirloin steak, chips with both. Food ordered was simplistic, so no where to hide if it isn't cooked well and it was spot on. They even had Dijon mustard. A nice glass of Chardonnay and pinotage to help the food to go down. Finally, the service from Scott was exemplary, a lovely hard working polite lad. Two coffees to finish and just a touch over ÂŁ20, stunning value. Our first visit but definitely not our last.

I have been going to the Cattle Baron at Constantia Village for years. My last visit there a few days ago will be my last. The rump steaks we ordered were tough and tasteless. I thought it was just that my knife was not sharp enough but after the third knife, I realised that it was my steak. It was a fight to get through it. I told my server who brought the manager over. She offered to get the kitchen to prepare me another steak but I and my guests were already halfway through our meals and it didn’t make sense for me to wait for another meal to be prepared. Their right move would have been to give me a voucher for me to return to give them another try. They didn’t and I won’t.

We are ever disappointed, food is always excellent. Beef spare ribs are a must, tender and sweet marinated. Mushroom fillet is something to come back for. Well done guys!!
