Monthly Dinner Club

This is a blogspot which will serve as a Restaurant Review for our Monthly Dinner Club. We are based in Cape Town and have visited restaurants since January 2001. Each month, one of the Organisers selects a new restaurant with the only rule being that it is not allowed to be a venue that the Monthly Dinner Club or one of the Organisers have frequented before.

Reviews:

1. Quality of the food was good, service was very prompt

2. Won't order Hunters Pot again, Death by chocolate is POTENT

3. Fettucini excellent - oyster mushrooms divine - Death by chocolate - "one bite and all resistance crumbles"

4. Excellent food, presentation… waiter fantastic - very accommodating & efficient! Good choice!!

5. Grub was good

6. Yum pud, will be back. PS. Hope the page don't stick (AL).. Pavlova smudge added to the page:-)

7. Hunters Pot was great, should have ordered the berry pavlova for dessert, Farzana's one tasted yummy!

8. Kingklip stroganof looks like a platter of regurge, but tastes pretty good if you can bring yourself (up) to try it….

9. Calamari starter was excellent. Sole main course was a bit 'flat'

10. 7 days to the end of spring.. Dave & Nads will know what it's about! Oh yes… chicken & leeks do go together in a pie!

11. Wild mushroom fettucine… yumm but the berry (strawberry) pavlova was fabulous…

12. British input - chicken caeser salad delicious but needs less lettuce. I am not a rabbit!!!

13. Death by chocolate would have made a good starter, main course & dessert. Yummy but rich. Meditteranen Salad - excellent!

14. Lamb shank was not good at all. To give an idea, Steers lamb Shank was 10X better than this. Service was slow and not to standard.

15. I wanted a chicken dish but no chicken on the menu!! The fish was not bad however. Good company & chat. Next time we need to bring "walkie - Talkies" so we can chat to everyone.
