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.

Comments:

- Happy Birthday, Hugh! First time oysters - not bad at all! Vicky with platinum blonde hair...

- Calamari & salad, good portions. Seafood pasta - tastes like it comes out of can. Mussels great.

- Crumbed mushroom starter was lovely & good value. Rump & seafood combo special was GREAT value - huge portion & delicious. will recommend.

- Really great food! Good oysters, chicken roux lard and wine! Band was a bit loud though, spent a lot of time in a conversation with myself because I couldn't hear anyone else.

- Food was good. Service was a bit slow!!

- Ditto, a bit slow. Prawns were ok, not great. Nice atmosphere, but I think it was due to the festive group not the place.

- Hideous.

- Crumbed mushrooms - gr8. Line fish - fair. Seafood pasta - lots of sauce. Music too loud. Large mirror off putting. Waitress very nervous but keen.

- Had oysters at half price, R6 each but when we ordered did not have enough for all. Prawns were good, tasty but a bit powdery.

- Not enough of the 'special offer' oysters - amazing! Service very slow. Rump steak was good but prawns were way over cooked & cold. Very limited wine selection as well. Live music was good though.

- No cinnabons!!!

- Service slow, food (chicken) not too great (bit dry).

- Slow service, but maybe because of big group (15 people). My steak was perfect, and crumbed mushrooms really good value for money. Delicious! Would like to come back, but in a smaller group.
