2015 November we had here great lunch. Now it was something totally different.First of all, our waitress. We ordered our bubbles and meal. After 20min she came to ask is everything OK - when we asked about our food, she probably realized she had not ordered those. Then, she did not know they have wine made of grape called gewürztraminer.Finally, after some 45min we got our food. They were rather cold. Chicken was OK, but spaghetti and maize uneatable. Bad food, lousy service and high prices. Major dissapointment.

Visited for lunch after a morning of tastings with food accompaniments a other wineries. Beautiful setting with panoramic views as well as the restaurant itself housing world class modern African art. Service was attentive. Food well prepared and beautifully presented. As we were not very hungry only had one main each. Would definitely go back for a more extended dining experience.

Monday lunchtime dining meant our family group had this spacious open plan restaurant virtually to ourselves. It might have lacked some atmosphere but that was more than made up for by the glorious views, delightful food, and attentive smiling service.They offer a daily changing seasonal set menu. Two or three choices of dish on the starters, mains and desserts.The team of young chefs beavering away in the open kitchen was a sight to behold.Quality local ingredients, responsibly sourced combined to make it an interesting, innovative and highly recommended dining experience.Our groups only slight criticism of anything would be on the quality of some (but not all) of the wine pairings.Will definitely return.

This is such an amazing and different place. Wonderful setting with tables set out under the trees, providing shade as well as privacy for each party. The food is excellent. No visible menu, so the food that arrives at the table for guests to share comes as a pleasant surprise. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff friendly and attentive. One word of warning: check your bill before adding a gratuity. We were charged a 12% service fee for our table of four, whereas the website states that this will only be added for tables of six or more.

Views and landscaping are absolutely stunning, however our lunch was disappointing. Not good value for money - you can get much better quality and quantity elsewhere. I expect a lot better for a R400 main (...or a R185 salad which consisted or a few leaves, a strawberry and 4 slices of halloumi!). Out mains arrived ice cold. Wine was good - not incredible. Definitely catering to the tourist. Wont be back and wont reccomend unfortunately because those views were phenomenal.

This restaurant is really out of its class. The winter special is excellent value for money, and I would book again soon. The flavor and texture as well as the presentation makes this place a gem. Service is excellent, wine list is diverse with some very affordable wines on the menu. The ambiance is great and cozy seating with a fireplace in the background.

Excellent service by attentive waiter , loved the ambiance .Looked forward to the karoo lamb but rather underwhelmed therefore disappointed.Nicely presented but lamb itself warm rather than hot and potato wedges tasted like yesterdays potato warmed up .Thank you for the review. Apologies that the lamb was not hot enough. Not sure what went wrong with the pan fried potatoes - we prepare them fresh every shift. You did not raise any of this with the owner when he checked on your table? He could have corrected any issues immediately then....Please e-mail us on [email protected] to discuss this further. We hope to welcome you back soon and "wow" you with not only the ambiance and service, but our great food too.
