We had a mid week dinner with friends and were most disappointed, my Roquefort Brown Mushroom starter resembled baby food very oily, we asked if the bacon could be excluded from the Cardiff Escargot starter and were told absolutely not but when it arrived the bacon was a mound 'plopped' in the middle of the dish - could easily have been excluded). My chicken schnitzel was cold and the side dish of spinach and pumpkin fared no better. Calamari and chips lacked colour to the point that it looked like they had served a plate of just chips. My husband's 300g ribeye steak was overly fatty and more rare than medium rare, the mashed potatoes lacked seasoning and the pepper sauce literally grey. The fourth member of our party was determined to say something good about her Spicy Pear & Blue Cheese Steak, best she could say was it was at least served medium rare as requested but taste wise was nothing special. Service wise our waitress was pleasant, despite advising that we would get cutlery "just now"after the food had been on the table for several minutes and that we would get the wine glasses "just now"also sometime after the wine had been brought to the table. There was a private function at the restaurant that seemed to effect the quality of meals and service for us 'general'diners but if a restaurant is going to cater private parties they need to remember to provide ALL diners with a good experience. Can't say we will be recommending or returning to Barristers anytime soon.

We visited the other evening with our son, daughter and granddaughter. The waiter was very good and the food was served quickly and was tasty. What is great here is that they have a spot where little ones can make biscuits with dough and they bake them. The little ones love receiving their cookies. They also have a lady that paints their faces and this is great fun for all!! A very pleasant event as it is really child friendly!

always a good recommendation when you see indian customers in their restaurant. the curry was fine - so were the buttered nams and the other dishes.you should try to avoid a seat close to the kitchen as the place is quite busy for messengers picking up deliveries.

My wife and I were staying at the Vineyard Hotel and, as we had two excellent meals at Myoga in 2018, decided to eat there again. We opted for the six course tasting menu as the menu clearly stated that, if eating a la carte, choose five courses.Maybe we were unlucky but in my wife's and my opinion the food was nowhere near as good as in 2018 and the portions were way too large. In fact, we could not eat our meal and sent one course back virtually uneaten. Coupled with the fact that the courses were not paced out (one course arrived as the previous course was being cleared up), this proved to be an unsatisfactory eating experience.When we pointed out these failing to the duty manageress, although polite, she wasn't particularly sympathetic other than to say "you could have switched to the a la carte at any point" - a somewhat academic point as we had completed our meal by then. Much better had this been pointed out earlier, particularly as we had already mentioned to the waitress that the portions were "way to much". BTW - the Springbok was tough as old boots.Overall, not a pleasant meal and certainly not a "tasting" menu but more of a gluttony challenge!!!!! We will not return even though we have booked another stay at this fine hotel. As a postscript, we understand that Myoga has taken over the poolside cafe. It shows!!!! The menu is way too fussy for casual poolside dining.

A surprisingly good coffee with exceptional service. We each wanted to pay separately - no problems - even when none of us had the correct change. Our waiter was courteous and helpful and efficient and prompt with change. The coffee was terrific and we loved sitting out in the sunshine after a lengthy walk around the gardensWe are as passionate about our coffee as we are about food. We really appreciate your awesome review.

Is this the way that Groot Constantia try and milk people for MONEY!!!!!! You can't enjoy the bottle of wine you bought with a cheese platter in their Simon's Restaurant...... You have to buy the wine there at R75 more than the tasting room.... What a shame ...... You are obviously only interested in the international guest and not our local plebs..... This is the last time we will support YOU!!!!!! I'm ashamed to know you associated with people like Simon's Restaurant that steal money from the innocent people of SOUTH AFRICA.

Always one of our favourite breakfast haunts, Tashas has disappointed for 2 weeks running now. Firstly a usually chosen menu item was not nearly as good as usual (husband), secondly a favourite menu item has been removed from the menu and the nearest similar one was nowhere near as good. That was the first day. Second attempt, my daughter, having 'lost 'her first choice off the menu tried a new item. A wrap came as a flat, baked to hard brittleness disc, mimicking a pizza base, with too much raw red onion mixed in with the other toppings. Uggh too much raw onion in the mouth. Service was very very slow (restaurant was almost empty on a Monday morning early). Generally a drop-off going on here. Come on Tashas, pick up the happy place please.

A favourite restaurant of mine and food,presentation,wine and service were,as usual,high class.mAybe we picked an unfortunate day because there was hardly anybody in the restaurant which is very unusual.Hope this was just a blip and for sure it is not a reflection on the quality of both food and service here.

We booked this restaurant a few days before our arrival as quite close to our accommodation and appeared to offer interesting menu choices. Traveled on dark country roads to reach this small village parade of shops and restaurants.We asked to move table as that offered was slightly away from main diners by colder window. There is a 7 course tasting menu or 5 course dinner menu- we chose the latter as did not like a couple of dishes on tasting menu and could choose what we wanted.Each dish was presented nicely and staff explained the constituents. All were tasty and we each had different items so could try each other.Service was a bit sporadic-not always same waiter and sometimes appeared slow.The restaurant on Friday eve was busy but not full. People seem to eat early so we were one of last to leave having arrived about 7-40.Having just arrived to the area price seemed great compared to what we would expect to pay back home- at least 50% difference favorable.Hi Phil,Thanks for taking the time to write a review, I'm glad you enjoyed your time spent with us!Kind regards,Glen
