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:

- Classic Lasagne was a very generous portion, enough for take-aways and a 2nd meal the next day

- Very reasonable food prices

- Not the best Margarita I've had

- Initially waitress was not able to cope with a big table, we then raised this with the hostess and a 2nd waiter was allocated to our table which worked better

- Super cocktails! Salad - generous portion & very crispy chicken.

- Affordable veal schnitzel, definitely had better

- Veal overdone & salty - prices good - service poor

- Ditto!

- Reasonable prices, nice venue, food average, company fantastic!

- Calamari overdone but tasty. Chicken salad quite nice. Cocktails great!!

- Swimming pool, Mojito, Solero & Long Island Ice Tea - all very well. Food good too...

- Very reasonable prices and LARGE portion sizes! Service slow but good atmosphere.

- Butternut soup was lovely, but ditto on other veal schnitzel comments. Mocktails very nice! Liked venue & vibe. Great company.

- Decor beautiful and tasteful. Calamari starter very crunchy but tender. Burger was average. Mojito was good & large. Service a bit slow but improved.

- Service was slack at the start but got better after complaint. Starter was good & portion size huge!
