The Staff were helpful and attentive even providing shoulder blankets when it got chilly as we ate ootside but the food I am afraid was certainly not up to standard. I ordered lamb polpettes which were inedible, in fact they were rancid which put me off eating the other food on the plate. My husband's steak was adequate but the... More

we used to come regularly to this great venue when it was operated by a Belgian proprietor and was mainly known for steak and frits as well as great muscle dishes. Under Laura & Johann's guidance we have another great addition to wine and food in Somerset West. The restaurant's interior is unpretentious yet comfortable and stylish befitting it's great... More

It could have been so great... The location on top of the hill, the old building, nothing wrong with that. But then the dining experience... The service: friendly, but without a clue. I never met a waitress who knew so little about what she sold. The food: 1970s bistro style, microscopic quantities and badly prepared. Are you looking for snails,... More
