On arrival greeted by two ladies who were really friendly and welcoming. Shown us to our table and I couldn’t like the decor and ambiance more. Great music playing but not too loud and the restaurant really felt like it was in Cape Town. The food? Wow wow wow! Delicious and the service was fast. I think the value was exceptional in addition to all I’ve already said and it’s been a long time I’ve come away from any meal this happy and impressed. I can’t recommend enough and you will not be disappointed. Now to plan another visit!
