My friends and I had a lovely experience. Our waiter and the host were very accommodating. The only thing we didn’t enjoy was the food. The pork belly taco was overcooked and very hard. The wings lacked flavour and taste. It was really a shame when it came to the food. Other than that the place is amazing

We had a good experience overall however when we arrived they couldn’t confirm our booking even though we had booked online prior to coming. They said we should call instead of booking online which resulted in us being allocated whichever table was available. That was a bit disappointing but we had a good time nonetheless.

My boyfriend and I loved the chicken wings coupled with the bottomless mimosas. The music was great and our waitress Charity gave us stellar service! Also enjoyed that we didn’t have to wait for long periods of time to get tended to as any other waiter could assist without us even asking. Great job!

I reserved a table outside until 13:00 , I got there at 13:20, and my table was already given to another person I was forced to sit inside which extremely annoyed me because I didn't even get to spoke some hubbly. But overall it was an okay experience.

I loved our waitress! What a gem! I think she said her name was Ntombi,I can’t recall very well. I was feeling cold but she got me her jacket from her locker and borrowed it to me! Her service was amazing, she went over and above her duty! She deserves a bonus, promotion or something, she was was absolutely delightful!

The food wasn’t bad but it took really long to arrive. Also, I was asked for a date of birth. It was my boyfriends birthday (I included it) & he wasn’t even served a slice of cake. Kid of disappointing since I was asked for a DOB when I made the booking.

The place is amazing, waiters are very friendly. The service seems to be a bit slow with the bottomless mimosas, it takes quite a while but the waiters do try to pick up the pace. A bit more effort can be put into the taste of the food, extremely bland food.
