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:

- Colourful movie - "Nobody" was interesting. Food was ok, but nothing special.

- Tomato soup was good. Not sure if the movie was a comedy? Anybody? Great Concept!

- Long Island, Cosmo, Tomato soup mmm - yummy. Apple crumble (inviting) - tea room - Bio-novel! Interesting movie!

- Very interesting concept! Brilliant movie - very " The good, the bad and the ugly" spaghetti western style. Food was excellent, really spicey. Good value for money.

- Good concept. Movie can make or break the evening however!

- Nice to spend an evening out with a difference. Food surprisingly good - did not feel the film matched it though!

- Thoroughly enjoyed the movie. My cultural side showing itself. Food was classic Italian. Very good. Will definitely try one of the other themed evenings - cigars / wine etc.

- Starters were good, didn't enjoy the lasagne as much. Strange movie but Johnny Depp is always watchable.
