RocoMamas Town Square

RocoMamas Town Square is all about building the best Smash Burgers, serving mofo wings and getting messy with some serious ribs.

Reviewed By jasonhT7786KQ

The place was very busy when we got there. The music was blarring inside. It was so loud we could not have a conversation. We couldnt even hear the words as music was so distorted. We had 2 smash burgers one beef and one chicken. The shredded chicken burger they first made when the restaurant opened was way way better than the latest chicken fillet. It was sadly tasteless. As usual the chips and milkshakes were out of this world amazing. However we couldnt wait to get out of there. We where served by 3 different waiters during our visit. It was hard to know who to leave the tip too. Honestly i wont ever go back as that music ruined the whole outing. There were various age groups dinning there. Hi jasonhT7786KQ, thanks for getting in touch with us. This is totally not the RocoMamas vibe we're about. Won’t you please pop us a mail with your deets & a copy of this review --> [email protected] so we can get in touch with you directly to discuss this further.

View Restaurant

View references the city's art scene without pretention or fuss. The space is meant to resemble an art gallery, reflecting the inky shades of the cityscape just after sunset, graduating from midnight blue to pale shades of light blue. Restrained interiors

As part of our stay at the Four Seasons, we took the opportunity to dine at the View. We were not disappointed. The 5-course tasting menu with local wine pairing was exquisite. Each course was masterfully assembled and the combination of ingredients and textures was amazing. The service was very attentive and so friendly - we felt very well taken care of. We will no doubt visit here again and recommend this restaurant highly. Oh and the view was stunning.Dear georginah2,Thank you for taking the time to send us a review and I am so please to read that you had a fantastic time with us.We look forward to welcoming you back.Kind RegardsNataliePublic Relations Manager

Creative menu that will satisfy any foodie, making use of seasonal/local ingredients, presented beautifully by a chef who obviously takes pride in his work. He made a point of visiting our table when we arrived. We stayed at the hotel and liked the food so much we ate at the restaurant every night rather than venturing out. We couldn't imagine finding better elsewhere!Dear gmw725, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. It's lovely reading how you enjoyed your time and Clico and we proud to hear how you enjoyed the meals and that you got to meet our Chef. Who is indeed a very creative chef. We look forward to having you back with us real soon. Kind RegardsJaco Wheeler

Tasty breakfast very well prepared, excellent service, good coffee (will ask for extra large cup next time). Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended- but be sure to get there early. It is a smallish venue, and popular. Creamy mushrooms - to die for!

Salvation Cafe never disappoints - food and service always great. We waited minutes for a table at this very busy restaurant and were seated the trees . The restaurant is vibrant, busy, and extremely popular.The calamari was declared to be the best ever as were the burgers and my chicken Caesar salad was delicious. Great ingredients and great service. Fantastic lunch spot in jhb.

Compared to common quality on cafës in South African parks and gardens this was bad experience.Our sandwiches (tuna mayo and chicken mayo) were rather tasteless and portions were rather small. Really little tuna and chicken.Waiter had not his best day. Made mistakes also on other tables, as we had time to watch due slow service.Thank-you for bringing this to our attention and enabling us to investigate unacceptable standards. A great pity I did not get to attend to your problem during your visit, but I do hope to have the pleasure of meeting you in the future.
