  • 1/5 Christoff du T. 2 months ago on Google • 183 reviews New
    Went there for lunch and the food was good but it took about 90 minutes to come without any communication from the waitress or manager. It made for an afternoon with people who would normally be having a good time just being frustrated. The live music was loud and overbearing and made it hard to hear other people at the table. I will not be going back.

    Nee wat... Beautiful view with horrendous service. Literally waited 1 hour for our cappuccinos. Lovely surroundings but unless you have the entire weekend. I would suggest you give this place a skip.

  • 4/5 Andre M. 1 year ago on Google
    We went there a bit apprehensively due to some of the negative reviews here. We had no reason to be concerned. Service was friendly and professional and the food all 4 of us ordered was 100%. A special shout out to our young waiter. What a nice, friendly, helpful young man. 👌

  • 4/5 Tina L. 4 years ago on Google
    Sunday lunch: food was very tasty , portions and price was just right. Be prepared for a 2 hour lunch as serving between courses takes a long time, so order another drink and take in the awesome views from the balcony while you wait. This is old style dining, reminds me a little of the Hotel lunches on the Wild Coast; long , chilled and tasty.
