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.

- 607: very filling. No sushi platter so arrived in separate plates.

- 302: Janine says I gotta write so I write:-)

- 610: hot is not hot. Did we get swapped? Soup was good - always enjoy the lemon grass flavour.
