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. Fish main wonderful, but starter choice non existant

2. The food was very good, the waiter a bit stressed, long long wait for our half of the table!

3. Service a bit slow. Food very 'pretty', but not my scene - nice crowd.

4. Main course a little bland but still satisfactory. Starter I enjoyed. Waiter a little overloaded

5. Food - fish main very nice - enjoyed. Now waiting for dessert… we will see… yummy!

6. Food very good, but 'pricey'. Not your average weekly dinner!! Chris & Fiona

7. Coffee is superb!! 2 cups were not enough. The duck and sticky rice were excellent as well as the salmon. Wine per glass - a little expensive and service not of the best!

8. "I'm still waiting for my coke light with main course"

9. I'm usually very easy to please but this time… service SLOW, food bland & overpriced. Not impressed!! But excellent company made up for it. Will email them with my opinions.

10. Really excellent salmon in coconut curry. Yummy!!
