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:

- Ordered a starter pita bread with feta & garlic, had to send it back as there was no feta. when it arrived back, there was feta but no garlic!!!

- Seafood pasta dish, I asked if it was done in a white sauce and the answer was yes - no white sauce!!

- Quiet place - probably cause it's a little hidden away. Mushroom starter + La Dolce Vita pasta quite nice.

- Had mushroom starter - quite nice. Pizza was good and crispy. Quite reasonable prices. Quiet atmosphere but pleasant.

- Very nice carpaccio and fantastic chicken with veggies. Lovely food and service.

- Panacotta berry dessert was harder than expected but very, very good!

- La Dolce Vita tastes very boring, have had much better carpaccio before.
