    1st time here but won't be the last. Got several appetizers and 2 entries but had to take entries home. Large portions. Great cocktails and wine. Try the Malbec by the glass. The best. Our server was Jane and she was so friendly we felt right at home. We started with 2 Olive Oil Dirty Martinis. They were perfect and pretty. We then had a cup of Gumbo followed by a Vleis Pastel which is one of the chefs specialties. We never had anything so unique. So good Then we had Charred Octopus with garlic Naan and A nice Chakalaka sauce. We then had Sea Point Promenade which is two crab/lobster cakes with crispy onions. Fantastic. We had a glass of Malbec and a glass of Tempranillo wine. Nice, especially the Malbec. We ordered too much food! Had to take home the Chicken Pendurada and Riblets and Lobster Mac-n-Cheese. Dinner tonight! Thank you Jane for a fantastic lunch experience.

    Made reservations for an anniversary dinner. This was my first time back to the restaurant since it reopened as Chef’s Table. Food and service were excellent. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

    The food was amazing. I normally get the Lollipop Chops because they are so delicious but decided to try something different, Beef Wellington. It was out of this world and according to my husband the Impala was delicious! Our server, Daniel, was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and in a word, excellent! We’ll be returning sooner rather than later!
