The Deli offers a lot of choice, they have great breads and special items. It is clean. The staff from the Deli is very friendly and food is served promptly after ordering. Great orange juice. Good value for money.

Great Food! Great service and atmosphere! and don't forget the quality of the wine glasses! Peter and Dino know what they are doing. They don't spend their time sitting behind desks or guarding the cash box, they are either in the kitchen checking each and every order, or they walk about hugging customers who all seem to have become friends....

Best service I've seen in years! Just took my girlfriend out this weekend and was so happy with the exceptional service and delicious food! Our waiter Temba created all of our plates to suit our tastes. The cheesecake was to die for! Will definitely be coming back for more
