We went here for a 'goodbye dinner' after three months of cape Town. What was supposed to be the best dinner of our time in South Africa turned out to be a rather overpriced and underperforming dinner.
There is nothing 'wrong' with the dishes, but for a restaurant that pretends to be the best of CT and charges prices to back that up, the food lacks balance and variety. Instead of focusing on the food and the absolute flavor they seem to go for 'trendy and hip'. I don't see why a highly priced bite-sized dish comes in a paper wrap and cardboard box, unless this adds something to the flavor (which it doesn't).
The food is comparable to places that charge much less and worse to places that charge similar prices.
To me it feels this place has hit its peak a while ago and now is riding on their reputation, instead of building a new one.
There is not one dish that stood out. If I had to choose it would be the beef fillet, but even that is nothing special.
Service is ok, waiters seem to have memorized the dishes but are clearly not passionate about the food and lack the ability to really explain the Delicacy or complexity of a dish.
If they would charge 1/5th of the price they would have gotten five stars. But for a restaurant that claims to be the best there is a lot that needs to be improved.
Note: I've been in cape Town over 15 months and have visited dozens of restaurants.

Fine dining at its best with even better views! Just returned from lunch and cannot praise this place enough. The staff, food and spectacular views are all incredible. Delightfully delicious and served with such smiles. Loved the fact that you could view all the chefs (there were many) all doing their thing in the kitchen. Going back next week for more experience. LOVED it, thanks!

If you require fine dining, with an experience, Knife restaurant should top your list.
Nestled in the stunning crystal towers hotel, if offers a unique experience.
The cuisine is delicately matched and the staff are helpful.
It’s existence for almost a decade attests to the standard and quality of their meals.
Waste no time. Head there.

I visited Ashley's for the first time 2months ago. We were hoping to get some breakfast like Bacon& Eggs, however they do not offer your standard breakfast meals on their menu. I opted for a Chicken Burger with chips and to my surprise it also came with veg, and oh boy was that veg amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. My husband had the "Saturday Special" which was Steak, Egg, Sausage & chips and he was very satisfied with his meal as well. We will definitely be back, keep up the good work ASHLEY's!

Reviewed By levernp2015 - Cape Town, South Africa
The meal was good, I normally order only the starter spicy buffalo chicken wings but I wanted onion rings which I know most people love so I ordered the full portion and added onion rings and I was really looking forward to it as I had nothing to eat before then and was starving myself for this. The ONION RINGS was not even rings, looked like the left over of what was part of an onion ring. It does not matter how much you pay for your meal but it has to look the part.

Lunch with Mama was the highlight of our 2+ weeks in South Africa. The food was incredible (easily the best creamed spinach I've ever had), but was outshined by Mama's story and infectious positivity. Don't let the location deter you, our group felt extremely welcomed by the community. Mzansi is an absolute must for any visit to Cape Town.

It is a great place for the family to visit.Dear abcdeville, Grazie! We look forward to welcoming you back to our family restaurant again soon! Ciao, Panarottis Pizza Pasta
