Reviewed By hunger4d

Having regularly used the Aero Club and this restaurant when travelling through Nairobi, this last visit was a little less impressive than last time. Service was less professional and the food, while of good quality, was not well presented [or as ordered]. Maybe an inevitable occasional blip and we shall certainly try it again.

Artcaffe

Reviewed By NurseMama25

Art Cafe when up and coming had great food and service. Now, according to the servers, their vendors don’t always send goods so it limits their menus, despite the site. The art breakfast is a favorite and comes well prepared. The spaghetti is just ok. The fish rarely has the gnocchi so we skip it most of the time, as it used to be a favorite. This site is clean and has decent service but depends on the time and server. We liked our lady today.

What was once an excellent establishment, has completely become jeopardised,Brew bistro Westlands, (A corrupt free zone sign needs to be placed)It starts with security,It is a good thing for security to know one,But it comes with the unexpected,The second time you run into them,By this time one becomes a money token,Not only do they put force on it,Insist on it,But even while inside, one of them even came to me for his tip,The harassment didn't stop there, what I offered, which to be honest if I was completely sober I wouldn't have given into,This particular bouncer expected more,It didn't stop there,I went downstairs to pick up my friends,On my way up,I was once again targeted by a different security personnelWithin one night,I had at this time tipped two security personnelsThe dilemma didn't stop there,The brew staff as I now understand,Have their own way of marking someone,From a polite asking or rather referring to a different server when it's very busy,All boundaries are broken,It seems "you become friends"And so all together, I ended up tipping five staff members within a one night,Our specific, server, this one he wasn't even content in his tip,Not only did he get argumentative but demanded more and made sure he got more,Something is so terribly wrong somewhere,Words cannot even articulate the events of the corruption scenes, harassment of staff over tips, greed,The fact that one has to deal with broken staff boundaries,It really is so unfortunate given that there drinks and food are exceptional and the atmosphere according to me is accommodating,One thing for sure though,It is time to move on from Brew bistro

We had a wonderful late lunch at Tamambo during a recent trip to Nairobi. The menu has a great selection for everyone. One of our party is a gluten free vegan and had no problem ordering a wonderful lunch meal. Additionally we had ostridge burgers that were out of sight. They were cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The service was excellent and timely. I would highly recommend for a meal.Dear John, Thanks for checking us our on your recent trip to Nairobi, and wonderful 5 star review. We are delighted that you enjoyed the ostrich burger and found the service excellent and timely. We appreciate your favourable comments which have been passed to all concerned and are a great acknowledgement of their efforts.
