We took one of our consultants from the UK out for dinner. What an experience! The service was excellent and the food even better. For a place with such immense variety on their menu, every plate was done to perfection. The sushi is super fresh and the steaks awesome. The tables could have been a bit bigger, we were six people at one of the booths and it was slightly tight.

We dined here several times during our recent stay in Johannesburg. Great menu and excellent food. Very large and busy restaurant, but the staff handled things well. No waiting. Good location right on Nelson Mandela Square.

We love this restaurant, they don’t disappoint us not now, nor one year ago, or before.
Excellent food, great service and good prices, if you come from London or other African country.
They have food for any taste, meat lovers the best tbone (better than in Firenze), sushi just nailed, veg burger great...
Thanks and hopefully we meet again!

All of the food we received was pretty disappointing. The ceviche sweet ponzu ceviche was way overflavoured with sauce to the point that you could barely taste the fish. The lobster roll had at least triple the mayo I've ever seen before. The curry was overly sweetened to the point that it was barely edible.

I don't know what the though behind this as the ingredients were fresh and could have stood on their own. Unfortunately, the overspicing of the food really made it a poor meal overall.

Service was not good at all. Food was average for the price except for the Ceviche (hence 2 stars). When we ordered prawn Dim Sum they were filled with cream cheese which was not indicated on the menu is very atypical- complained and the waiter was really not bothered nor did he offer to correct the situation. We also ordered a whiskey sour which tasted like a Christmas pudding, complained and agin noting was done. We had to pay for everything despite having complained. Would not recommend but if you must, have the ceviche.
