Well
-
that
really
was
serendipitous!
A
chance
comment
from
our
wonderful
eco
river
tour
host,
Mike,
earlier
in
the
day,
alerted
us
to
this
restaurant
(and
boutique
hotel)
as
we
cruised
past.
We
returned
to
our
hotel
and
immediately
checked
availability
-
just
in
case.
Luckily
enough
we
were
able
to
secure
a
6pm
booking
that
same
day
and
we
were
picked
up
by
complementary
taxi
and
driven
to
the
restaurant.
We
were
welcomed
warmly,
sat
outside
on
the
verandah
and
given
a
choice
of
several
interesting
cocktails
to
start
our
evening.
We
then
met
our
host,
Rudolf,
who
runs
the
establishment
with
his
wife
Lizelle,
and
were
treated
by
him
to
an
excellent
and
detailed
description
of
the
dishes
we
would
be
eating
that
evening.
We
were
seated
inside
on
a
lovely
table
next
to
the
fireplace.
The
table
was
laid
beautifully.
I’m
trying
to
find
the
pretty
ostrich
egg
tea
lights!
We
opted
to
accompany
our
food
with
the
recommended
wine
and
between
us
covered
most
of
the
dishes
on
offer.
Service
from
all
of
our
servers
was
excellent
throughout
and
the
wine
waiter,
in
particular,
was
extremely
knowledgeable.
The
springbok
tartare
and
Cape
Malay
fish
cakes
were
delicious
starters.
My
ostrich
fillet
was
moist
and
tender.
My
husband
pronounced
the
line
fish
the
better
dish
though!
We
were
very
full
up
(and
a
little
tipsy
following
four
very
generous
glasses
of
wine!)
by
the
time
we
finished
and
then
found
that
Rudolf
would
drive
us
back
to
our
hotel
-
so
were
able
to
thank
him
personally
for
a
super
evening.
Highly
recommended
and
good
luck
for
the
season!
Cheers!
