After reading great reports on Google we went out of our way to visit this place.
We were greeted with an unhelpful grumpy and rude manager who agressivly turned us away.
In retrospect, I'm really please we didn't get in

We stayed in the De Waterkant district and this restaurant was just around the corner. It's a tapas style restaurant, serving small "appetizers" sized bites, which were very tasty. Both nights we visited (during the week) they had live music. There was a gal who sang and unfortunately, I can't remember her name, but she had a voice that could have been on American Idol or the Voice. Her family was there to support her, and on our way out, I went up to them and told them what an incredible voice she had and she should be on either of the shows, and they said she had actually been on one of them! The restaurant is quaint and the food is great value. Loved this place.
