We used to eat here around 10 to 12 times a month - 2 to 3 times a week. Then, twice in a row, we were served (very) tough steaks and decided to give it a break and drive to Stellenbosch for our lunches and...dinners.
Yesterday we decided to give them another chance.
There were 6 other tables for lunch. A friendly gentleman served us. He took our order and that was the last we saw of him for a long time.
There is complimentary olives and crisps on the tables. Unfortunately nowhere to place the olive pips. We desperately tried to get our waiter’s attention and eventually another staff member came to our rescue and brought us something to put it in.
The food arrived and my wife’s main dish, the calamari, was immediately sent back as it was swimming in brown oil and tasting of oil. We canceled the calamari and she only ate her tomato salad. My steak was overcooked (I ordered medium rare and it was well done). The waiter was nowhere to be found so we finished our meal. We waited for him to bring us the bill but eventually went to reception where he quickly appeared.
It is sad that this restaurant went down so quickly in their standards. There is clearly a lack of management as the staff isn’t trained. We haven’t seen her the last 2 times, but what they need is moreShamara’s as she is the one person who was on top of every detail at your table - the perfect hostess.
I post a picture of my chair. That sums up our recent experiences.More
