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.

Name: Surfside

Tel No & Address: Strand

Date Visited: 01/5/2005

Organised By: Janine

Patrons: Janine, Nadine, Chris, Fiona, Carla-Anne, Martin, Lucy, Mike, Aidan

Reviews:

1. Sunday carvery was excellent. Great value for money! Bellingham Pinotage was superb. Waiting for dessert but I'm sure it will be a winner - just arrived, it looks great!

2. Sole was brilliant (Carla can second that!) Worst is sitting next to the window & you can't open it! Not bad for Sunday lunch (Fiona)

3. Nobody will ever know how good the vegetarian lasagne was but it really was and filling too. Love the view! (Aidan)

4. Best Sunday lunch I have had in awhile! Carvery was great!

5. Dit was baie lekker en die bottel rooiwyn het alles nog beter laat smaak. Baie dankie Janine, ek het die middag baie geniet.

6. Seafood mix was very good. Cocktails seem to be good - based on Fiona's 'hot flushes'. Setting is great.

7. Yum!

8. Do not order the sole - it is not a line fish so although delicious it was over priced = R120 i.s.o R68 for the line fish

9. Half price cocktails were a bargain… bring me another margarita please:-)
