What an experience this was!!! We had in total of 16 dishes and every dish was amazing. The chef really thought of the food name, the taste of each component and the texture. We cannot find any fault to it. You may think it is small but when you have to eat all 16, you will be full. It comes with wine pairing option too. The price is very good at R695.00 person. The beverage menu is a bit small but you not really there to drink...
The service was spot on. The cutlery was replaced immediately with each course and the service just flow between the waiters, the chefs and the management. I have to say this may be our favourite now.

In my opinion this is the best restaurant in South Africa! Food is always of the highest quality! Presented in a unique creative way, each course is a work of art!! For an intimate celebration or spoil this is the place to come dine at! Staff is always friendly and well spoken! Atmosphere is romantic and decor is upmarket!!

Great food with very attentive service. Pricing is very reasonable for a 16 course meal.

Went there for restaurant week! Brilliant!! It was a little expensive for the portion size BUT we'll worth it.

Overall: A potentially great place, but the food was a let down. It might be worth a second shot...but I'll give it time until I return.

Ambiance: Fine dining, contemporary with a smart casual vibe. A really cool place for a romantic dinner, celebration as a couple or group of friends/family.

Food: We didn't try the tasting menu, we went for 3 courses from the a la carte. Overall presentation was great. However, the salt in both our meals was overbearing. Something as fundamental as seasoning should not be a game of hit and miss in any place that prides itself on technically well crafted food.

Service: Average but friendly service. The waitress forgot to bring the complete dessert that was ordered. An element was missing...the reason given was, "that dessert isn't ordered often". A forgivable mistake...but, again, in a place that is upmarket and refined, this sort of thing is a ball dropped.
