Carne Kloof

We were taken here as a treat and had a delicious meal. Waiting staff were very attentive, the chef even came out to introduce himself. The food was gorgeous - three of us had the special steak from the meat board and one the pea/ravioli pasta (I think). The steak was delicious and the wine was a little too nice (VERY drinkable!) and we all had a fantastic meal. Im very keen to go back and try one of the pasta dishes as they all looked divine (nosily looking at the other tables! Hehe)

It’s a pity that such a fine institution can’t get the right steak to the only table in the restaurant. This is the second time in a row that this happens, last time sadly. Last review included to highlight that I am not a troll, just disappointed, again.

My first time at Carne ... and it does so much right: a head chef who brings a complimentary unexpected starter to your table, two attentive waiters, tender steak, delicious sides. About the only thing puzzling for me is the menu is quite small, but if all you want is a great night out and quality meat, you can't go wrong here.

What an amazing dining experience. If you haven't already been, you absolutely need to book and have your taste buds tantalized. We were even treated to a taster made especially by the owner. The staff are exceptional. Their wine selection is phenomenal, so definitely have a bottle to suit your course.

Enjoyed the good quality of meat. Can really recommend the steak tartare. Do not give 5 stars as the experience was not super great (e.g. friendliness of waiters)

We happened on this place by chance, as our first preference of restaurant was fully booked. Carne was also fully booked, but managed to fit us in with no fuss. Boy am I glad they did, as the whole experience was great!

Kevin, our waiter was fantastic. He explained the menu to us, offered recommendations and was efficient at ensuring we had everything we needed - all with a smile!!

I’d highly recommend Carne if you looking for a comfortable and modern restaurant for a hearty meal.

While the staff were great, the cocktails were passable, the food quality is either forgettable or notablely inaccurately cooked, like severely.

The steak tartare was interesting enough, though the ultra thick, immovable delicious tar that was the decorative balsamic was a bit confusing.

Good portion of breadsticks with it though pretty heavy handed with the anchovies, didn't seem to showcase the actual meat to well, decent texture though.

Decent negroni but I ended up trying a grapacino, which was some odd watery drink with grapa in there somewhere

I ordered a flat iron steak, notably one of the most tender steaks

And Jesus did I have a time trying to cut this raw piece of allegedly medium rare steak.

This steak was like a summery gray in color with some grill marks, serving only to say that the stove has been on for more than a while.

Like completely raw, not delicately cooked to accentuate the taste of the meat, cut thinly as a art form representing the purest of beef flavors through lightly seared, deeply ruby red serving after being rested, raw. Like the chef is terrified of the grill, raw.

Like my steak knife struggled on the fresh sinew in the meat. I sent it back, and they simply chucked it on there split in 2 and reheated it to a cooked level.

It was genuinely well cooked albeit they could only skip the resting process this way.

All in all, this is an insult to the produce they peddle and the lack of basic attention to detail when preparing steak is depressing.
