Very nice venue, peaceful. Service is very professional and friendly. Cocktails are definitely worth it. I recommend the Green Apple Mojito and the Gin grapefruit

I am staying with good friends a short walk away in Newlands and they know The Vineyard well being long time Residents here.We walked across for dinner this evening having made a reservation for 7.30 pm at The Square.Tastefully decorated with soft music being played in the background. The place was reasonably crowded when we arrived.A fairly limited dinner menu including the Chefs Specials, Salads, Soups, Mains and Desserts.The lady went for the Salmon Trout Roulade for her starter followed by the Beef Burger with Cheddar Cheese and a portion of Chips for her mains. Her husband and I both opted for the Chefs 2 Course menu. I had the steamed Hake followed by the Neck of Lamb with Chickpea Biryani. My friend had the same Mains but had the Fig Tart with Gorgonzola cheese for his starter.Adequate portions and good quality food was the unanimous consensus. We had a bottle of Cabernet Merlot 2013 from the Constantia region which went really well with our meal.We passed on desserts. Reasonably priced.Service was acceptable although not outstanding. The Vineyard is an old established Hotel in the area and is set in well landscaped gardens. The Square is one of several restaurants here and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Attentive staff, well prepared food, fresh and well made. We had a lovely lunch here with a bottle of wine. Enjoyed a lot. Pizza and a pasta dish me and my friend shared, was perfect. Didn't feel like it was a cafe.

This is truly a hidden Gem in Hout bay. i took my fiance for supper at this fine restaurant last night and her remarks were : we must go there again. Superb Service, great Ambiance not crowded at all. I left there very happy. The meat was great. The soft music and the dimming of the lights also added to the good feel. Quentin, thank you for your hospitality and the excellent food.

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.

I had a wonderful Caesar salad with just the right combo of anchovy, bacon bits, cheese and, to crown it off, a crumbed, poached egg with a melty, yolky middle. It was as yummy as the view of the trees and the incredible, formidable oak smack-bang in the middle of the restaurant! Also, the bread basket is irresistible! The presentation is also worthy of comment...Dear LaurenShantall,Thank you for the feedback. I must agree with you - the Caesar salad is definitely a great dish.Looking forward to welcoming you back in the near future - if you have not visited already.Kind regards,Angie

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

A state of the art dining room and cutting-edge kitchen sets the scene at Greenhouse, where produce of the Constantia Valley and the region are presented as culinary creations in an intimate taste space. Here guests are invited on a multi-sensory journey
Reviewed By ssbrauer
Truly one of the best meals I've had, not only in South Africa, but anywhere. Quality, creativity and calibre and friendliness of staff all set the Greenhouse apart. It was so good the first time I went back the next time I was in town with friends.Also deeply appreciated the ability of the staff to cater to a finicky teenager who was looking for something less exciting than the full chef's tasting menu.
