STAFF COMPLIMENT YOU...AND SHOULD

Going through my online photographs, I found these about a visit to The Eatery!

At the time, I used to live just conveniently over the road from Belvedere Square so at Belvedere Court.

It was the first of my four WRITING STUDIO's I have had since turning single in 2015.
Sunshine (the waitron on the additional photographs), she wait my table and got so excited to learn that I am A WRITER!

So, after serving me an amazing meal, she informed me that she feels special since she had just received a letter addressed to herself from a customer who was visiting from overseas! I was so interested to hear her story on the slightly quiet afternoon since at the time (long before LOCKDOWN), it could get beautifully busy and yet warmly cosy there! I've been many times with my eldest daughter and son in law when my GRANDSON was still a tiny baby, BTW!

I told her that very unique things also happens to happen to me and that minus photographs, I seem to think nobody will believe it, some experience I can write up!
She then took these photos out of her apron pocket to show it off to ME.

I normally go to eating places to grab a meal, capture new stories and combine the use of WiFi and this on the price of a meal. However, I used to go sit and stare at the seemingly single tree which looked different from my bedroom window than over from the eatery!

At the time, they served amazingly delicious DIFFERENT MEALS AT LUNCH TIME...worth my while, indeed. However, those days they never had WiFi, or did they!? It was just a walk over the road than in the Choo Choo park opposite, me!

I am busy writing a TCTC FICTION BOOK called, "RESTAURANT VISITS" coincidentally!

We visited The Eatery after having a bad experience with the pizza restaurant next door. They were very accommodating and when we said we were now in quite a hurry to get the food they made a special effort to assist us. While waiting they gave us a milkshake on the house to calm us down and the order only took 10 minutes. What service and with a big smile! Wow! The burgers were delicious and not expensive. The portions were huge. We will definitely be back to this well run and efficient restaurant.

Service was excellent, food delicious, I had the calamari and wife had a steak - everything was delicious and although the restaurant was very busy we had our food in under 10 minutes
cheesecake was scrumptious
dont sit outside on the patio if you can't cope with children playing as its pretty noisy from the playarea

Thank you for taking the time to review and rate us.

We look forward to your next visit. The families usually leave fairly early so any 7 to 7:30pm bookings are usually ok outside and we have a 8 to 9pm happy hour.

Kind Regards

Food was very tasty but portions were rather small compared to the price. Also they charged R10 per extra slice of bread. Rather exorbitant and making the experience very disappointing overall.
