We had a wonderful dinner. Perfectly roasted sirloin and a good wine recommendation. The waiters were attentive and were always there when we needed them. We would love to come back 😃

Endria and Johan put together a stunning food & wine pairing (with the assistance of the Wine Village) for our group of wine and food lovers. Must try the oxtail! Thank you for a lovely experience.

We were welcomed by the owner Endria and escorted to a lovely private table lit with a candleabra! The line fish was excellent as was the calamari appetizer. The entire experience was world class yet very warm and cozy…great decor.

When we arrived, our reserved table was in a rather cold area. Without any fuss, we were moved to a delightful table in a much warmer area. Our food - snails and carpacchio for starters and grilled hake and linguine seafood - was all outstandingly...good. The service throughout, although not quick, was friendly and very good. The wine choice was reasonably priced and the recommended Sauvignon Blanc was excellent. Altogether, a wonderful last evening in South Africa.More
