My son went onto the website about the restaurant which gave amazing reviews. When we arrived there the menu was less than grand. The Springbok rack, which we were very interested in, wasn’t available and by their own admission it hadn’t been available for a very long time. The waitress volunteered that “maybe it should removed from the menu”.
The toilets were dirty, taps not working properly and soap dispensers broken and/or empty. To think that the catering staff dealing with food may not be washing their hands after using the toilet “facilities”, is very disturbing.
There is only one toilet for mothers or fathers to engage in a baby’s nappy change, which also doubles as a disabled toilet, and on several occasions they were used by the women staff; when addressed there was a verbal apology in English then a discussion in Xhosa with a colleague nearby followed by laughter. The toilet roll holder in that same bathroom was broken and the toilet roll was hanging.
The orders weren’t correct especially the rib eye which was very rare almost a blue steak in lieu of medium rare. They arrived without the accompaniment of vegetables which was on the menu. Creamy spinach and butternut, and the portion was minimal. We actually had to request it and they appeared surprised.
The vinyl bench chairs were worn and frayed.
Personally I would not recommend the restaurant to anyone. As a proud South African, I was embarrassed that foreigners were subjected to this display of South African “Hospitality”. I also felt that the friendliness was not genuine but on show for possible tips.
This is a genuine review I have photographed the evidence.
