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:

- Fantastic food & great, relaxed atmosphere. Had the chicken Alexia as a main meal -> absolutely YUMMY! Especially if you're a halumi & aubergine fan. (Chrystina & Jonathan)

- Good atmosphere. I'm not entirely sure that been stroganoff is a pepper-based dish, but is was tasty all the same. A nice place, just unfortunate that the Owner is so full of shit!

- Good food. Better than last time. Bit spicy but that is probably planned that way. Real taste.

- Meze platter for 2 starter is enough for mail meal. Eisbein is huge - big enough for Sunday roast.

- One of the better monthly dinners by far!!

- Lamb knuckles were very good, falling off the bone! Friendly Waiter (Jacob), knows his menu and recommends well!

- Very good food - waiter knew how to sell the goods.

- Food was excellent. Pity there was no baklava though.

- Great atmosphere & food was divine! Lovely evening out.

- No baklava, very rich Saltimbucca.

- Food tasty. Chilli hot chocolate more like pure chilli with a sprinkling of hot chocolate. Waiter very obliging. Good evening!

- Good food!!! Great service. Silly signs on door.
