Reservation:
I’m
from
the
Philippines
and
been
visiting
South
Africa
for
the
3rd
time
now
and
wanted
to
celebrate
my
birthday
as
well
as
my
first
year
since
I
came
and
met
everyone.
So
I
decided
to
look
for
a
restaurant
and
Bouchon
was
the
3rd
on
my
list.
The
first
place
I
emailed
isn’t
open
on
Mondays
and
the
second
one,
I
received
no
response.
And
Bouchon
did
so
in
less
than
a
day.
I
reserved
a
table
for
20
pax.
Ms
Lauren
promptly
assisted
me
from
then
on
through
emails.
Since
I
wanted
to
treat
my
special
guests,
we
went
for
3
tapas
for
265
per
person
and
covered
the
50%.
The
kitchen
is
a
bit
snug
so
they
asked
us
to
pre-order
the
food
2
days
before
the
date.
They
don’t
allow
corkage
and
there
is
a
cakeage
of
25
rand
per
person.
They
also
asked
us
to
pay
200
rand
per
person
in
advance
deductible
in
the
bill.
On
the
day
of
my
birthday
dinner:
So
we
are
allowed
to
arrive
earlier
than
the
reserved
time
as
we
got
the
wine
cellar
spot.
You’ll
be
seated
there
if
you’re
12
or
more
people.
Ms
Lauren
told
me
that
it’s
only
exclusive
if
you’re
25
as
it
could
seat
30pax
comfortably
which
I
disagree
and
my
guests
too.
It’s
already
feeling
tight
with
20
people
that
night.
The
table
is
ready
at
4:30pm
and
we
booked
7pm.
You’re
allowed
to
bring
balloons,
candles
and
flowers,
no
confettis
if
you
want
to
do
some
decor.
We
had
only
one
server
which
I
think
it’s
not
enough
to
serve
20
people.
We
had
3
meals
each
person
so
the
service
was
a
bit
slow
and
had
gaps
before
your
next
dish.
Place:
I
wanted
an
intimate
dinner
with
quaint
and
Cosy
vibe
and
the
place
was
perfect.
We
could
talk
to
each
other
as
it’s
separated
from
the
main
dining.
And
plus
point
to
the
clean
toilet👌🏼PS
the
chairs
aren’t
that
comfortable
for
a
long
seating.
I
invited
my
boyfriend’s
parents
and
Oom
had
pain
so
it’s
sad
that
he
had
great
food
but
went
home
with
pain
due
to
the
chair
so
hopefully
you
have
better
chairs
to
not
spoil
your
customers
experience
especially
the
oldies.
Worth
noting
Food:
They
were
all
amazing
and
heard
great
feedbacks
from
my
guests
as
well.
They
arrived
all
fresh
and
served
hot.
From
other
reviews,
I
don’t
think
the
servings
are
that
much
though.
And
not
all
people
would
want
wine.
They’d
go
for
food
so
hopefully
you
add
more
to
your
beverage
menu
for
more
drink
options.
Service:
Kudos
to
the
kitchen
for
giving
us
wonderful
dinner
experience.
My
first
3
course
tapas
meal
is
amazing
and
Ms
Lauren
for
the
assistance.
The
server
is
friendly
although
20
people
is
too
much
for
1
person
working.
Price:
The
food
are
priced
reasonably
except
the
wines.
And
they
have
12%
service
charge.
