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.

- Spring rolls for starter were good + tasty - nice variety: prawn, veg, duck

- Steamed fish - ordered very mild & had quite a bite but very tasty & served on a fish platter on a flame.

- Sushi good - nice size portions, main & sweet sour sauce very good + filling - chilli quite present, but very tasty. Waited a bit, but very much worth the wait!

- Good food. Had the most divine sushi. It didn't fall apart when it hit the soya sauce. The chicken cashew & fried rice was excellent. Truly scrumptious meal.

- Sushi great - chicken noodles very tasty - generous portions.

- Really impressed with the sushi. Cashew chicken and noodles very tasty. Spring rolls were good. Sushi was very nice - not hot. Note: Don't rub eye when you have wasabi on your fingers - it burns.

- Glass noodle seafood salad (mild) = not so mild - burns like #@$t.

- Good spring rolls starter. The beef basil was vicious! Delicious all round.

Comments:

- Soup Diagnon starter was lovely + so was sirloin main course. Nice veg + potato wedges. Lovely venue & relaxed atmosphere. Not sure why they are so quiet on a Saturday evening.

- Bruschetta was very tasty. Saltimbocca was also very good. Atmosphere was very relaxed.

- Fruit de mare pasta was great. The pork fillet was good as well. Quiet night!

- Good food - minestrone soup & saltimbocca both excellent. Great little restaurant.

- Bruschetta was very tasty and I loved the variety of toppings. Veal with lemon was tender and veggies unusual. I enjoyed the meal. Coffee was 'burnt' though.
