We used to really enjoy coming here but had a terrible experience today. Despite supposedly being in a non-smoking area (see the sign in the picture below), there were a lot of people smoking around us. When I asked a waiter about this, he said that smoking was allowed everywhere. I found this odd, as we didn’t have this experience before. By the end of our meal I felt like I had been out at a nightclub with the amount of smoke I’d breathed in. To make things worse, a drunk person from another table approached us after hearing that we had asked the waiter about the smoking. He got a bit threatening and wouldn’t leave our table but there were no waiters around to intervene. This wasn’t that surprising given how long we waited for service. It took over an hour to get any food, despite the fact that we had ordered a starter of jalapeno poppers. When the food came out, my plate was extremely hot and the sauce was congealed, as if it had been sitting under a heater for a long time. Everything tasted quite oily, which is not really what you expect when paying ~R200 for a main. Cocktails were okay but tasted very alcoholic. In short, there are a lot of great places to eat/drink in Cape Town, but I don’t think this is one of them anymore.
