Friends and I were there for lunch, they ordered ciabattas which were approximately R100 each, which is just a small ciabata, which I consider to be very overpriced. One of my friends received her ciabata with one of the main ingredients missing and when she called the waiter to ask about it, they said they were out of stock. The waiter could have mentioned this before one ordered or while the food was being prepared, not afterwards when one notices a key ingredient is missing. Also, I ordered a cheesecake which when arrived, was running across the plate like it had not even begun to set. When the waiter returned and I asked about it, she said they were aware that it wasn’t set but they served it anyway.

Oh how wonderful to sit under the trees next o the river flowing by. After a heavy morning of shopping and having to walk home this was just a super place to cool down and be spoiled.

We had lunch here under the trees. The food was really good, the service was about the best we had on our trip to SA, and the setting was lovely. All in all an excel;lent meal and experience.
My son is coeliac and there were gluten free options, and the staff were very helpful in that regard.
