If you are into this type of cuisine, go for it. The food was excellent, the taste unbelievable ... like being in a dream ... you feel like you are floating on a cloud. The portions are minute (small), but definitely worth a visit. More

The food and wine pairing is great - the staff are knowledgable about the wines and the service is great. We opted for the food and wine pairing and I felt a bit rushed - it was almost as if they could not wait to let us try (and savour) the next wine and course. Upon booking I was asked... More

We took my mother there for her 60th birthday. It was breath takin. The food and wine accompanying ever dish was perfectly matched, with staff having a excellent knowledge of the food wine and fine dining service expected. I would highly recommend the restaurant and that you take the option of wine accompaniment for each dish. I only wish there... More

The food... More

My wife and I were relatively regular patrons untill about a year ago. We loved the venue and food so much that we got married there. We returned last night for the first time in the last year and honestly, we were dissapointed. Service on the deck before dinner was non-existant (we eventually got the ordered drinks after being seated... More

This is our favourite restaurant for special occasions. Their 6 course dinners are a gastronomic delight from start to finish, with excellent service and a superb wine list. The 5 course Saturday brunches out on the terrace are delicious and innovattive as well as being very good value for money. Be it the 7 course Sunday lunch, or dinner or... More
