    We had a Christmas brunch here. The staff were lovely and the meal was delicious. The unfortunate thing is that we came here with my uncle (who is wheelchair bound) and the accessibility toilet didn’t have proper handles for him to use the toilet properly thus rendering the toilet pretty useless to him. This soured the end of our brunch as we had to leave and go look for a suitable toilet for him to use at another place, which is so unfair towards him. Please sort this out as it’s so unfortunate to exclude disabled people like this.

    I enjoyed their food. However i felt like the cheeseboard that they are using to serve pizza need to be changed. I am someone who's very picky with what i eat and lose my appetite once i see something off.. They turned me off because they were burned with a lot of scratches😒 However I enjoyed their waffle and ice cream dessert, but i feel they put too much syrup on the waffles that you cannot eat it alone. You gotta check those out.

    Nice restaurant with a big variety menu to choose from. Food and warm drinks are tasty. Chai latte was very nice. Their cappuccino is the best.

    A very nice and quiet atmosphere. Customer service was awesome. There is a kid's area for children to have fun and play some games. We pre-ordered our menu a day before and it exceeded our expectation. I must confess this is the first restaurant I will visit that serves well-done steak. It's indeed a great place to be

    Friendliest staff, atmosphere is not the most alive and kicking but good enough for a meal. If you have kids then this is definitely the place to be because they have a big playroom with all sorts of toys :))

    It was my first time in Grahamstown and we wanted to try this place to bad as the first place to get food. The service was amazing, the atmosphere, the lighting lastly, the FOOOOOOOOD🍲. We had burgers and pizzas. I had to steal the fries. Such thick cut potatoes that are soft inside and well seasoned outside. And my pizza... Was so stretchy with cheese straight from the oven 🍕. Had a virgin cranberry (I forgot the drink) but it was so refreshing🍸. I could really do again with another visit to this place when I come to Makhanda 👌🏽✨.

    Decent place. Delicious food and good service. This place is a nice family restaurant that also serves buffet since it’s attached to a hotel. Dessert is fresh and main course was rich in flavour.
