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:

* Beef carpaccio was tasty

* Rolled sole was very bland so not recommended!

* I'm starting a new restaurant classification system called the duck-worthlessness method. The benchmark score being "The Showroom". This restaurant is a minus 3. Not too bad but well short....

* Veal salimbocca perusia was devine, devine, devine! Sweet chilli calamari starter not bad.

* What's with the "benchmark" essay??? Lamb shank totellini was definitely something different and tasty!

* Veal schnitzel not to bad, just to much funny looking greens.

* Blanc de Noir marinated pork fillet very tasty.

* Stunning fillet steak - well presented - will definitely bring Clarissa

* Calamari starter nice & mozzarella raidi very nice. Will recommend! Crème brulee very, very, very nice.

* I strongly disagree with the duckworthlessness system!!!!!! I would rate this plus 1!!! My food was absolutely fantastic, tasty wonderful!!! "Molto Bene!!!!"Brava!!!!!
