My wife and I had a dinner here after a long day’s drive to The Lord Charles. We both had the chicken supreme which we both enjoyed although, strictly speaking, it wasn’t chicken supreme as there was no cream in the dish. The chicken was...very tasty though and not over-cooked. Wine prices are reasonable and the service was really good although we were the only table as it was still early in the evening when we ate.More
Good Day Biztrip Thank you for taking the time to add a review. We appreciate the support and look forward to welcoming you for another true NH Stay
What a disastrous lunch! Overpriced for burned bread that (as the only patrons at the time) waited for over 30 mins I got the wrong order and when I got a different meal It was poor -tinned lentils with no taste. just very disappointing. My...daughter had a pizza wich was store bought and defrosted and just very unappealing My husband had steak wich was amazing and perfectly cooked. my starter was nice but the same tin lentils They also charge R5 more for diet soda with less sugar than normal coke 🤷♀️ Desert was very pretty I don't think we would be going there again 🙈More
Stayed two nights a s a party of twenty and ate here both nights. We were quite pleased with the set (choice) menu and the wine was very good as was the price. Service was little slow, but who cares when on holiday?
This restaurant did not live up to our standards or expectations relating to the price range per dish. The chicken dishes were too dry to eat and had to be sent back.More
Good Day Nettie Thank you for taking the time to advise us on your experience in February. I am messaging to advise you that we have changed our menu as of October and we have had an excellent response to this. Please visit us again...More
We attended a wine and dine evening and enjoyed a 4 course meal with wine pairing. these are normally a monthly occurrence. the chef uses allot of locally sourced foods to add to the meals some of which i have never tried before. very imaginative.
Waited long for over-priced, average food. Wasn't even busy and the Flamkuchen was more like an Italian flat bread with toppings - too much mustard too. Base way too thick and bread like, not wafer thin and crispy.
Given the fantastic food on offer here, it's such a shame to give it a 4 because of other factors.... I went a few weeks ago and had a light Hake and Chips, and I was so impressed at how good such a simple battered...piece of fish could be that we headed back. To wax lyrical over the kitchen first - we had the Trio of Lamb, and the Pork Belly. Truly delicious. The trio of lamb was absolutely superb - a french rack, a portion of lamb shank and crumbed sweetbreads (so nice to see them on a menu!) plus exquisite trimming - and really beautifully presented, the Pork Belly is done with 5 spice and Soya for a Chinese feel and is likewise presented beautiully by the kitchen. Actually, at under R200 per plate, it's a bargain to be presented with such delicious and well made food. The letdown was lacklustre service - we had to get up a couple of times to ask for a drink, the bill etc - and weirdly, the glass ware. We were more than a little bemused at the delivery of a pricy bottle of sparkling water with no ice, no lemon and some of those R2 Brannas and coke glasses you get at dodgy pubs where bar fights are scheduled activities! The Wine and beer glasses were similarly heavy badly made glass. I suppose I'm a bit of a snob! Given the location - in the heart of the Stellenbosch beer and wine route - it would also be nice to see a couple of the better local beers and wines on the menu too . but all in all - well worth it for the food and relaxed environment!More
We were staying at the Lord Charles hotel and were continually impressed by the quality of the meals we had here - way above hotel restaurant expectations. The burger was honestly one of the best I have ever had! William who works at La Vigna...restaurant deserves a special mention for being absolutely wonderful.More
Somerset West has some good restaurants. Staying at the Lord Charles, I decided to give La Vigna a shot on my last night. It was great and saved me a walk to others nearby. Service was good. My first complaint was a very small cheese...board. Usually this is more generous. The sevond is that there is no Pinotage by the glass. I had to drink the whole bottle. Good wine list and a private dining area available too.More
I was at the hotel for a conference. A colleague and I had dinner here. There was an interesting range of options on the menu. Our choices both lived up to our expectations - the food was exquisite. Well worth a visit.
