My wife and I tried this place and here is our review, there was only 6 couples here, where as next door was full. Staff did not show any interest in us being there, when finished and sat back not asked if they could clear the table. We had to call them over for everything, very slow. I had 3 Karoo lamb chops which were crispy on outside and cold in the middle, I've had Karoo lamb and this was nothing like I've had before, the taste was bland and ive had better at the Spur. Desert was the chocolate fondant, in the Centre was still a solid lump and the outside burnt. Venue very nice, needs better manager. Would not return.

Decent spot near the Groot Constantia Trust. Breakfast was good, staff friendly and the restaurant is pet friendly.

Lovely little spot situated in Constantia. The food is absolutely delicious and there is a large variety to select from. The service was a bit slow (not enough waiters on the floor) but the staff still did their best and always had a smile on their faces. This is a pet-friendly restaurant, and furbabies are welcomed to sit outside in the shade or under the canopies

We were there two times and very happy with the food and very nice service. Prices are good. Everything is worth the money. The calamari as starter is my favorite. We tried Pizza (good) and the fillet steak for 260 ZAR. Perfect! Only weakness are the french fries. They are not cross enough. We were two adults, had starter, one Pizza, one fillet steak, two beer and two wine andere paid below 1000 ZAR. We will come back:-)

This restuarant has a lovely warm feeling. Sunlight is allowed to flood the open space of the inner restuarant. There, sophisticated lamps and wall lighting send there owns rays through the room, landing softly on the leaves and vines of living indoor plants. Nostalgic oldworld artworks of botanical drawings and paintings, beautifully framed are suspended on the walls. Service is quick, excellent and friendly. My charcoal grilled and fresh cut ribeye steak was tender, marbled and deliciously flavoursome. The cream spinach was probably the best I have had. Freshly made - no defrosting vegetable boxes here. My partner's homemade Linguine, had a truly delicious Napoletana style sauce with a healthy bite of chili. Really good. The unfortunate timing, meant that the restuarant was resetting their tables after having hosted a seemingly very successful birthday event. This meant the peace and calm of the space was disrupted by moving tables and chairs occasionally screeching across the floors, as they were carried and dragged back to their original spaces. That aside, this was an excellent meal and I would gladly return, possibly to taste more of the great craft beers they have on tap or the lovely wines they stock. They also have an electric stairlift, and a designated bathroom for disabled persons.
