Excellent. Just what I have come to expect from Chefs Warehouse. The Red Room setting is luxury, lighting is perfect, seating comfortable, tables perfectly space to allow privacy. Service is on point, professional, 100% customer focused and friendly. We had the Chef's menu, everything was very good to excellent. Highlights were the Seared Tuna, Trout Crudo and Grilled Line Fish. Dishes are well presented, cooked to perfection and delicious. Excellent wine list and drinks menu. Very sophisticated but still comfortable and welcoming. Well worth the cost and an absolute must when in Cape Town.

A very nice hidden place in The Mount Nelson Hotel Sober elegance lightning and interior. Good food interesting Asian meny The waiters are confused and feel uninterested in their work and guests. Host and hostess give great service and have a good knowledge. The somalier had a good knowledge!

If you go to Red Room by Chefs Warehouse you will get Chefs Warehouse! Tapas style menu in 3-4 courses with a vegetarian option, which is almost better than the „normal“ menu. Very good wine menu, staff with attention to detail and a really cool room in the basement of Mount Nelson Hotel. Pricy but worth every single Rand!

We stayed at the Mount Nelson Belmond hotel and ate at the Red Room. The decor was vibrant and hip. When we walked in we liked the low lit lights as this enhanced the red throughout the restaurant. Our server was attentive and great and we had a wonderful meal with great cocktails and wine of course. Highly recommend this restaurant as its a great location with great ambiance and food! We can't wait to come back!

Situated in the Mount Nelson Hotel There's many mixed reviews concerning this restaurant, however, it's been on my list to try for a while now as I thoroughly enjoy Asian cuisine, and I was convinced that we would have a fantastic dining experience as I wouldn't expect anything less coming from the Chefs Warehouse group. We had booked an early dinner, mid week, straight after work. There were only two other couples when we arrived, but by 9 pm the restaurant was about half full. The space is really exotic! Great ambiance and decor, and the service was impeccable! Taras is the manager there (he used to work at The Bailey), and his knowledge about wines and the cuisine is highly commendable! I discovered a new white wine, which I have added to my list of all-time favorites! We chose to order from the a la carte menu instead of the set menu. The food was so beautifully presented and incredibly tasty. Due to my sweet tooth, I'd probably say dessert was my favorite dish - but bar that, I'd highly recommend the Prawn toast and Duck Pancake. Will definitely be back to try the other options.

Really underwhelming experience for me. There’s a lot of room for improvement. The Chinese Flower bread served 1st was the the best dish of the night for me. The cauliflower was much too sweet, the oysters okay. The duck though, was a let down, lacking any authentic flavour, even tasted like smoked duck, which is unlike Peking duck, this was disappointing. Desserts were well priced and not bad. Being part of the chefs warehouse group I expected a lot more than they delivered. I don’t think I will try this again.

The new Red Room by Chefs warehouse was a beautiful experience when walking in. The atmosphere, lighting, ambiance is up to the highest of international standard. I’m sad to say that the service was shocking as well as the food. The waiters need to be better trained for many reasons and the food was totally bland and non tasteful. We would love to come back if the menu was changed or enhanced.

Had a really great night trying the taster menu. One of us had the main taster and the other had the vegetarian taster. Both were really outstanding. The cocktails were also really great with an authentic spin on some classics and the drinks list is extensive. Our waiter was amazing, it was only his 3rd shift but he was attentive, accommodating and helpful. We loved the atmosphere and decor - it feels very cool. It would be a great spot for a group dinner on one of the larger round tables. Highly recommend.
