Service: I was very disappointed in the service we received. After hearing so much about how great a restaurant this was, I was bitterly disappointed.Firstly, we had to seat ourselves while the waiters watched us. We were not greeted, simply asked what we wanted to order. That alone could have been overlooked but the worse part was when we had no waiter within close proximity. No one checked in on us, whether we wanted to order more food or drinks. We had to flag down the waiter several times.Food: In terms of the food, I really enjoyed my meal. The pasta was delicious and we didn’t have to wait too long for our meal. Vibe/Atmosphere: Granted there was a private office event or get-together, it was surprisingly audible. Of course, had the service we experienced been great, the atmosphere would have also complimented the food. The people in the restaurant as well were of a good caliber and everyone seemed to mind their business. Being a small restaurant by the busy Sandton west street, it was not as noisy as one would think. I mean just down the road was a bar-type establishment and it was rowdy.The general setup is cosy, which was great. It really encouraged the setup. I would suggest a little aircon as we decided to sit on the outside, the inside of the restaurant felt quite hot, but of course this is subjective to each customer.My hope in writing this honest review this helps the owners in addressing just some of the small issue I found. Bad service is unacceptable in a perceived establishment such as this. Despite this we did give the customary 10% tip but would have loved to give more.Regards,Lindo
Great food and free secure parking. Limited wine list by the glass
AMAZIIIING. Everything was so yummy I did not get to take a pic. The staff are great too and the dessert selection is lovely. We were seated in the outside area which was cooler & quite (inside was full due to the weather) had the tapas starter to share (added the best calamari I have ever tasted), portions are generous and had some fresh gluten free chocolate cake to end it all off with. I will definitely be back soon
The service was impeccable and the food was just as amazing. A bit too small. I love finer details and they have one of the most beautiful glasses. The staff was friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back
I love this restaurant! I’ve been here a few times and have tried most of their delicious salads that are made with the very best ingredients and are all delicious and more than enough for a wholesome lunch. The service is excellent and I love the ambience too!
