Description: The Hussar Grill Mouille Point in Cape Town is regarded as one of South Africa's premier restaurants, serving only the best steak available, with a comprehensive wine menu.
Reviewed 24 February 2017 via mobile

I like the Hussar for three simple reasons: good steaks, good service, reasonable prices.

We stopped at the Mouille Point location tonight for a steak, on the way home from another venue. The waiter looked out of the window while he took our order. I asked for a 200 gms bone-in fillet. 'Only three hundred grams' was his bored response, as he gazed at the passing traffic. So 300 it was, though I couldn't tell the difference from the 200 gms I'd enjoyed at the Camps Bay branch a week previously.

My partner ordered a Greek salad. She said the feta was good but the whole was smothered in red onions.

Wine? There were only three wines by the glass on the menu; in a land positively flowing with wine, this seemed a blatant effort to push you towards a bottle. We resisted. The wine was ok but we both left half a glass.

The meal for two came to R475, with an unmerited tip of 15%. An underwhelming experience.

Dear Mako,

Thank you for coming to visit, and for your candid feedback, I really do appreciate it.

I am so sorry that your waiter seemed disinterested. That is not his usual service, I can assure you that.

We have more wines by the glass on our black boards, our waiter should have asked which wine varietal you liked and helped steer you onto a wine more suited to your pallet.

My humblest apologies for the manner in which you were served last night. We managed to find your bill by the information you left us and the culprit is being dealt with quite firmly. Please know we are a passionate crew and when something like this happens, it saddens me terribly.

Please let me know if you are in the area again and want to come and see if his service has improved.

Please email me at mouillepoint@hussargrill.com and I can ensure you get the royal treatment as we intend all our guests get.

We really do appreciate your custom and hope to see you again.

Kind regards,
Tracy Huxley

Lovely child friendly restaurant, fantastic views, light meals are excellent value for money. Fish dishes are very good for a Steakhouse restaurant. Staff very friendly and made you very welcome.

We had a lovely meal here and have to say the staff looked after us very well and certainly knew their steaks. Nice varied menu and ate in a relaxed manner and nothing too much trouble for the staff. Definitely worth a visit

We tried to go one evening workout a booking and it was completely full, I would definitely recommend to book in advance. It's well worth it! The chateaubriand was especially good and the sides too. Great service and friendly staff made it even better. Highly recommend.

Dear Ryan,

Thank you for your positive review and kind words, I shall feed that back to the hard working crew, it's what they strive for.

A booking on the day is usually a challenge, I suggest booking a day in advance so as to not be disappointed. Although we do try and help as much as we can.

We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Kind regards,
Tracy Huxley
