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.

Review:

- Hall0000000000000000000000000000!

- Pap en vleis - well worth it. Great food!

- Good food, great friends, stunning company and vice versa! (except for Gathry! Anyone up for some hot wax?)

- Acoustic set was fantastic. Can't believe I haven't heard of them before. Waiting for the "rockin" set. Food good! Swarma was good too! Waiting for the choc puds.

- Great venue! Food very tasty - veg ravioli something different, but really nice! Band really good - enjoying evening!

- Great vibes - stunning band - (hot drummer!!) (too much bench pressing though) Good food too!

- Tai chicken curry delicious, as well as the "pap en vleis". Good choice of venue. Will definitely come back for more of everything!

- The fish wasn't so lekker but great venue. Band was superb, yummy drummer & the rest of them weren't too bad either.

- Had 2 starters instead of main course - delicious! Band was awesome!!!

- Band was great - Pap en vleis - totally awesome!

- Really awesome venue & gig. Great food & band. Will be back for sure.

- Food was awesome, but that's completely besides the point - it's a theatre restaurant so the entertainment is most important. For future reference, if you ever see " Southern Gypsy Queen" on the bill, you'd be an idiot to miss it! They rock!!!
