We
had
a
wonderful
"Date
Night",
and
are
glad
we
booked
in
advance.
We
were
greeted
by
name
at
the
door
by
manager
Jason,
and
taken
to
our
cosy,
comfortable
booth
in
the
tastefully
decorated
restaurant.
Soft
lighting,
nice
music
played
at
a
volume
that
still
allowed
for
good
conversation,
and
decor
that
was
calming
and
initimate.
We
were
very
relaxed
when
the
food
arrived,
initially
some
garlic
olives
and
thinly
slices
fried
potato.
This
went
well
with
the
Hussars
50th
anniversary
bottle
of
red
wine
that
was
a
part
of
the
date
night
special
menu.
Our
waitresses
were
lovely
and
patient
with
us,
offering
a
broad
range
of
choices
to
accompany
the
three
course
meal.
Attention
to
detail
was
perfect,
working
through
a
list
of
entree,
main
and
dessert
choices,
then
the
side
dish
of
preference,
cut
of
steak
and
how
we
wanted
it
cooked.
Chicken
livers
in
creamy
peri
peri
sauce
with
crunchy
croutons
came
first
and
the
red
wine
continued
to
delight,
cutting
through
the
richness
of
the
sauce.
The
steak
was
simply
presented
on
a
warm
plate,
and
beautifully
cooked.
We
eat
good
red
meat
rare,
and
were
very
pleased
when
the
steak
came
out
properly
cooked.
Too
many
restaurants
seem
to
over
cook
their
steak
when
ordered
rare,
but
not
here
at
Hussars.
And,
this
was
our
second
visit,
previously
also
having
a
perfectly
cooked
steak.
The
fat
was
nicely
rendered,
will
grill
flavours
came
through
on
the
tender
and
tasty
sirloin
steak
that
we
ordered.
Dessert
finally
followed,
and
somewhere
in
there
we
had
an
extra
glass
of
wine,
necessitated
by
the
wonderful
pace
of
the
service.
Slow
enough
that
we
could
enjoy
the
ambience,
sip
our
wine
slowly
and
chat,
but
not
so
slow
that
we
were
looking
around
waiting
for
food
to
arrive.
I
guess
what
helped
the
service
speed
was
the
attentiveness
of
our
waiting
team,
occasionly
being
asked
how
everything
was
going,
and
whether
or
not
we
were
ready
for
the
next
course.
Again,
we
were
impressed
by
this
desire
to
ensure
our
needs
were
met
-
neither
rushed
because
the
restaurant
wanted
to
free
up
our
seats
for
the
next
group,
nor
delayed
due
possibly
to
a
busy
or
inefficient
kitchen.
Whatever
the
reasons,
we
were
watchful
and
attentive
to
the
processes
of
the
restaurant
ourselves,
and
everything
seemed
to
be
handled
perfectly.
It
was
lovely
to
meet
the
manager
Jason,
and
provide
final
thanks
to
him
directly.
My
wife
and
I
are
only
visiting
Cape
Town
for
a
short
while,
and
to
have
positive
and
memorable
experiences
such
as
we
had
at
Hussars
Grill
GrandWest,
is
delightful.
Five
stars
for
everything!
