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:

- Butternut soup = delicious. Lamb curry was hot! Greek lamb was tasty

- Starter mushroom with salsa, cheese & chili topping was tasty

- Prawns were good too, good value for money

- Beef ale stew - very hearty...

- Butternut soup was superb & risotto fantastic. Large portions and even large glasses of wine (hic) Fantastical

- Butternut soup + rump steak, really good. Huge portions, nice venue, will recommend.

- Falaffel very good

- Lamb curry can compare favourably

- Lasagna - nice portions, tasted great

- Greek lamb was good. Shame it was the last one so others missed out! Also a shame that there was no kudu. Given that it was a Saturday night they were out of a lot of dishes:-(

- Rump steak was ok. Good sized portion. Oscar was great!

- Chicken fillet was very good, kebabs very tasty, and overall not "bad" vibe at all. Although the kebab was not kudu!

08/11 - On a sad note: Although we all knew him for only a couple of hours, it is with sadness to have to tell you, that the Dinner Club Waiter, Oscar, has passed away as a result of stab wounds from a mugging. ATOM is setting up a Trust Fund to at least secure his daughter's education. (Refer "a touch of madness" Facegroup group)
