    I went there for lunch today, not knowing the place, mostly good reviews and the usual disgruntled customer. Located in an office park, the set-up is rather nice hinting the claimed french bistro style. I am very please to discover that they offer "la Trappe" beer on tap, menu is enticing, very promising. I set my mind for the mussel pot (being very wary of mussels in SA restaurants). The menu announces mussels steamed in garlic and wine with a HINT of cream. Perfect for a light Friday lunch. I finish my beer and order a glass of wine, we've been served some focaccia in the mean time, a bit of a wait but so far so good. After some more wait, halfway through my glass of wine, comes the mussel pot, I open the lid and there have to dive to the bottom of it to discover a couple of mussels chasing each other while drowning in what looks like a thick cheesy sauce. In dismay I called the waitress and indicate that this is not what was described on the menu and that I was expecting a full portion not a starter one. The poor lady apologies and heads back to the kitchen to get me a new pot of mussels. Another wait... comes the manager advising the kitchen is busy fixing another mussel pot for me. wait, wait wait... here comes the long expected pot! It doesn't look like there are more mussels in that one. The sauce looks lighter but still like a cheesy creamy thing and not a broth... Here comes the manager, pleased to tell me that they have given me 26 mussels! when the normal portion is 20. Really not convinced but still willing to try, I pick up the one mussel eat it, what a feeling... just like picking up an old chewing gum from under your school desk! That's where it stopped, I asked for the bill and left, dumbfounded. How can someone mess mussels that badly? how much effort does it take?
    Great food, not a huge variety but very reasonably priced for what you are getting. There is always a great atmosphere no matter what time of the day / night. Poke bowls and pizzas are a sure winner... Oh and of course the cocktails!
    My husband and I went to this restaurant for a long overdue "date-night". Was mildy apprehensive as have never been there before, however all reservations were quickly dispelled. The service was great, the outside seating area was great, the strawberry mojito was unusual and delicious, and the food was amazing. The snails starter was large enough to be a main course, and the duck was incredible, although I had to take some home as the portion was huge ! My husband's chicken liver "bunny chow" starter was also very large and he battled to finish his mains afterwards.
    Loved this restaurant and the vibe was great. I have booked it for my sister's hen's party in October and look forward to having a few other people enjoy this little gem as much as I did.
    I love this place. The food is different and always tastes excellent. The menu has something on it for everyone from pizza's that are always flavourfully done with a multitude of exciting ingredients to more complicated fish or meat dishes. The salmon is always excellent. We eat here often and the restaurant offers different seating arrangements from the fountain patio which has a definite romantic feel to the bar area overlooking the suburbs which is great for evening sundowners. The management are always friendly and the staff always try their best. The restaurant is mid range from a value perspective but offers so much more than just food.We have encouraged plenty of people to come to this restaurant and all of them keep coming back.

    Visited the restaurant for the first time in 2 years and the afternoon went from bad to worse. The service is utterly disgusting. The managers had a big attitude when we complained about it and also when we showed them hair in a friend’s food. A one and a half hours wait for 4 salads, 1 sushi order and 2 pizzas! Very disgusted with the overall experience!
