I have never been so patronised. The triple fried chips, one of their specialities, were not as good as usual and the manager said that the previous times we had been we had been so excited to be there, we didn't realise what the food tasted like. Seriously?
They should have been removed and redone. It's just chips. Even MacDonalds would do that!
Sadly they are now off my list.
Don't patronise the customers. Especially repeat ones.

Finally a top class restaurant in Joburg. The food was worthy of their Top 10 rating, the wine list selected with care and the service professional and friendly. Will definitely make this a regular Eat Out venue.

My wife and I returned to DW last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and we could not have made a better choice of restaurant!
The starters (foie gras and crab cocktail), mains (lamb and duck) and desserts (gorgonzola ice cream and chocolate dessert) were all sublime and at the highest standard! And the service informed and all round excellent!
First class - a South African gem in the middle of good old Jozi!

Thank you for wonderful smart food! At last the best in Gauteng is truly the best. Your starters and desserts are sublime!

My Fiancé and I went to DW Eleven-13 last night, the 21st February 2012, to celebrate our fourth year anniversary. It truly was a remarkable evening, not only due to impeccable melt in your mouth food which made your taste buds dance with the extravagance of flavours, the respectable wines, the intimate yet refined atmosphere. We have to thank the entire group for making last night a truly memorable experience.
We have been to a couple of the top restaurants in Johannesburg, but DW Eleven-13 is by far the finest. The service is incomparable, the waitrons are well presented and profusely friendly. The managers continuously walk around to each individual table ensuring that you are satisfied throughout the entire meal. The staff go over and beyond, and give you that feeling of pure elegance.
The food from appetiser to dessert, the complimentary freshly baked flavoured breads to the home-made caramelised popcorn and mint marshmallows are truly unbelievable. Chef Marthinus Ferreira and kitchen staff bring a whole new concept and meaning to the South African food standards with his creations and taste sensations.
All I can honestly say is if you are in the mood for exquisite food and wine or just want to show your appreciation for the one you love, this is most definitely THE place to go. But be warned - you better book well in advance or perhaps you may just be one of the lucky few on the cancellations waiting list to receive that long awaited call.

After an average starter (gazpacho with icy balls of basil ice-cream) we then waited for 2 hours and 15 minutes and left. The staff had disappeared as there were too many tables with discontented diners - the chef said they were "busy". An extremely disappointing experience - we won't be back - top restaurants don't let their customers leave hungry! Not deserving of its place in the Top Ten - not even a good bistro.

Service was shocking. Had to wait two hours for our mains to be served.

Not a great experience for a birthday lunch. Only one starter and one main course vegetarian offering. Main course was risotto which was average and besides vegetarians get tired of risotto and a pasta as the only offering. Waited 45 minutes for main course with feeble apologies that food is being plated just too many times. We were seated in a hot corner and even though manager informed us that other guest had also complained about that spot, our request for aircon to be switched on was denied because it was too cold for other guest seated closer to the unit? Other guests food was good but service put a damper on the day which was disappointing. For Johannesburg only top 10 restuarant we expect better.

So Yum! Finally food to seriously rave about and worth every Rand. However, I didn't quite understand the "steakhouse" style side orders - confusing and way too unexiting and "wanting to accomodate the masses". Chef should decide which side goes best with his yummy creations. Please change! I loved the sommelier - we tested his new wines for him and I could die for the Chateau NdP! Everything was just fabulous - maitre d should be replaced though. She looked out of place - way too stiff and insecure. This place cries for a more awesome front of house. We'll be back soon!

I was extremely disappointed by the restaurant. The service was posh, but not friendly or good. The food was just ok. The only vegetarian option on the menu was a mediocre risotto. I will not go back.
