Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish!! We had the taster menu and every bite was interesting and exciting, the presentation is beyond beautiful and the stunning view and decor compliments every aspect of the meal and atmosphere of the restaurant!! The staff are absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable about every single course and drink that they serve, we were fully impressed by the restaurant. The drive up on its own is already beautiful, the architecture of the building is so unique and suits the whole vibe perfectly! I would definitely recommend that everyone enjoy a meal here at least once. My mother wasn't crazy about the more adventurous courses but thoroughly appreciated it for what it was and still enjoyed every moment. The only thing that I personally feel would possibly improve the experience is a non alcoholic drink pairing option but other than that I can 100% see why they were voted the best restaurant in South Africa!!!

What a fabulous, award winning restaurant on top of the hill over looking a wine farm and the sea in the distance.set menus to choose from. Definitely go hungry because the food is superb! A real taste sensation to delight the taste buds. You need to book a table do that you won’t be disappointed if you don’t get in. A must visit when in the Cape.

Awesome location for a relatively impressive gourmet restaurant. We had a slightly disappointing experience with some of the service though most of the staff attempted to be helpful. The food is quite interesting and dishes are mostly delicious and well prepared. The portions are a little small though even when compared to other high-end gourmet restaurants around Cape Town. Still definitely worth a stop for a bit of fine dining but would recommend an early evening visit to enjoy the stunning views from this beautiful restaurant.

The views can't be beaten. The service is attentive without being overbearing. The food is innovative and flavourful. The wine pairing complemented the food very well and introduced us to a new cellar in a delightful way. A must if you're in the Cape.

5 out of 5, but I wouldn't say it's the best in South Africa. Food is good, service is good. No complaints just not the best according to someone that knows almost nothing about fancy fancy food. I wanted some kind of juice paring or something as I don't drink grapes that are old. Some other fancy places offer this. But it had the vibe that if I asked for it it might have been frowned apon.

The prawn thing was really good.
Cheese thing was not.

Venue is also really good.

This place was the highlight of our trip. It is a hidden gem of note. The views are spectacular. The interior is classy. The service is faultless and professional. The food is amazing. Literally cannot fault this venue.
