"The remains of a poached pear."

Overall, it was a nice evening. The food was pleasant, the atmosphere was pleasant, but it wasn't 'wow'. I'm not quite certain why ... The service could definitely be improved upon: Our waiter got our drinks order wrong, forgot our water, look quite long to check in on us. After the amouse bouche - where I had used my knife and fork - he slid the dirty cutlery off my plate back onto the table so that I could use it later. This should never be necessary to do in a restaurant, but especially one where there appears to be enough cutlery in the dinner setting. Only when I asked if I would be needing that cutlery, did he remove it.
The food was okay overall. I didn't really enjoy the bread course and agree with a previous review of it being like a cheesy garlic bread. Why not take the time to explain what the cheeses are to us? More could be done to hype up my experience and expectation as a customer: Tell me about the course when you serve it. Finally, I had the pear dessert and that was quite disappointing. The 'poached pear' was a few rectangular pieces of a pear ... not the beautiful half poach pear that I was expecting. Would I go again? Unfortunately, no. For the price that one pays - almost R500 - you expect a certain level of service, and this was seriously lacking.

"OK"
6.0 Cuisine 5 | Service 6 | Atmosphere 7

Food was ok, not my favourite resaurant by far, but they try.
Risotto, is not risotto, meat was extremely dry, not great, fish was tasy and desserts were good.

"Copa 6 course"
9.0 Cuisine 7 | Service 10 | Atmosphere 10

We really enjoyed the experience of trying out a lot of food - some of it was really good and others were interesting but I would recommend people try it. The best part of our time at Copa was the service from Michelle, she was so lovely. I wish there were more stars to give her!
