Overpriced, over spiced, over done. Lengthy wait for food. Mediocre service. Only two of the party of six finished their meals, largely because they chose light meals. For the rest, the food was unpleasantly rich and overseasoned, the flavor of sole masked by dressing of mussels and cream, made worse as the fish was barely warm. A struggle to find chicken in the Thai green curry. I won’t continue, and although I have eaten here numerous times over the years, the last several occasions have been disappointing, and this, on the occasion of my daughter’s birthday will mark my last experience of Shane’s mish mash of ingredients.
Amazing beyond!!! We were there for the Bellingham wine pairing evening and it was so exquisite. Staff was professional and friendly and the food was delicious. We had a very special evening!
We dined here on our anniversary. Love the place. Very friendly and helpful staff. Amazing menu and very well priced considering really fresh ingredients are used. I however was disappointed 2 items in the main menu not being in stock. I first choose the duck which we were told later that it was out of stock. I then decided to try the sole and that was also out of stock. My starter of crocodile sounded amazing but unfortunately lacked taste – it wasn’t seasoned appropriately and was served with a granadilla sauce which was way too sweet. It was replaced with mussels which was nice. Husband ordered trout and unfortunately it was completely over cooked and just was a mush of little pieces. Chef did say it’s meant to be like this but we certainly didn’t like “mushed” fish. The dessert was complimentary to make up so that was nice. My fillet as well sounded and looked amazing but again lacked taste.
Where do I even start? La Pentola has been a favorite of mine since I moved to Pretoria, from the simply phenomenal service, to the delectable cuisine, this is an establishment I recommend whenever I can.I had the pleasure of attending a 5- course wine pairing event the restaurant had in conjunction with Durbanville Hills wine. (Events they host monthly with a different partner)Every single plate served was fresh and tasty, if I had to pick a fave it would be the grilled calamari served with pineapple and orange hummus. By the time dessert came out, I was stuffed (and pretty tipsy).
