We were warmly greeted when we arrived and everyone, from our waitress to the Sommelier and Owners were courteous, friendly and attentive during our visit.
For starters we selected their Crab Cakes and Pear & Goats Cheese Tart.
The Crab Cakes were freshly prepared, combining crab meat and kingklip with hints of citrus and herbs (with a crispy coating which was not oily). All served on a bed of fresh baby rocket leaves and a refreshing citrus dressing.
The Tarts were a well-balanced combination of pears poached in white wine (which had more of a lovely chai tee taste to them – imagine more cinnamon and less cardamon) and goat’s cheese. These were served with a balsamic reduction, a fresh and lovely beetroot puree and toasted nuts with fresh baby rocket, sliced radish and beetroot chunks (which tasted similar to the poached pears – lovely).
For mains we chose their Sirloin and Pork Belly
The Sirloin was perfectly prepared as ordered (medium rare) and very tasty. This was served on top of potato cubes (which were crispy without being oily), and a great combination with the tender stem broccoli, shallots and red wine reduction.
The Pork Bely was prepared with a honey soya glaze (while being a classic glaze for pork, it had the perfect balance between the sweet honey and salty, earthy soya preventing the pork from being overly sweet), while the meat was soft and tender.
This was served with a creamy slice of pumpkin tart (lovely), some refreshing corn salsa, butternut puree and a single piece of homemade crackling
Both plates were superb, well-executed and packed with flavour.
For desert we chose their Cheesecake and Crème Brule.
The Cheesecake (Reimagined as per the menu) was wonderfully constructed / deconstructed with the Vanilla fridge cheesecake, served on top of biscuit crumbs, little rooibos spheres (little gelatine balls), lime curd on the side and a rooibos sugar chip topping the desert. The combination being wonderfully light and refreshing.
The Crème Brule, was equally creamy and flavoursome. This was served with the Sorbet of the Day, which in this instance was a berry / raspberry combination. And although also very tasty, the fresh fruity flavours of the sorbet completely overwhelmed the delicate nuances of the Brule.
Great staff and great food made this visit a memorable one.

We were welcomed on arrival and we selected to sit in the outdoor seatingarea. It was a lovely day and the views are great over Waterkloof Heights. We opted the wine pairing option and was pleasantly surprised with some great wine selections from the Hemel en Aarde valley as well as Elgin. The food presentation was spectacular as well as flavoursome. Our 9 year old daughter also enjoyed each course. Staff was very friendly and attentive.
