We had a delicious dinner at Reuben's. The Restaurant Week menu was simple but we all went for it despite looking at the full menu. The starter salad was superb, as was the creme brulee- one of the smoothest with the most delicate surface! Most of us had the pork belly which was absolutely delicious and perfectly done. The one friend who had the fish also thoroughly enjoyed it. All in all a fabulous dinner experience in a beautiful setting.

Welcome was very unorganized. We booked for a menu through the restaurant week. They served us the a la carte menu. A person from our party opted to eat a la carte and the waitress didn't know how to deal with that. Then we ordered 2 bottles of wine to find out half way the evening that the waiter was serving us the wine from another table.
Fillet was actually a sirloin without any remarks from the waiter. They actually served the sirloin with the words "Here is your fillet!". No explanation when the food was served to the table. Quality of the food was good though.

We were a little disappointed with Reubens, especially compared to our previous visit. Firstly, the Restaurant week 2 course menu for R145 was extremely limited. Only Chicken livers for a starter, two mains (gnocchi and pork belly), and only one choice of pud (Amarula malva). If you don't like chicken livers (and I'm sure many people, including me, don't) you were left to have a main and a pud. As a result, three out of four of us ended up not ordering the Restaurant Week menu at all and because of that our meal came to more than we had anticipated. Also, the cheapest bottle of SB was R175. Absurd!

We were NOT pleased with the special offer of Restaurant week , as that gave ONLY a set menu with a certain price that is the same as you will take the 3 dishes from the card.
So our question is what is the specific benefit of Restaurant week ??

We had a pleasant evening , but we could have that also when we didn't book it under this Special Offer , so for us a bad way of attracting people to your restaurant.

We drove to Franschhoek , as we could also go to the on in One & Only ( coming from Hout Bay !! ) but this one was NOT part of Restaurant Week as we called them before !!

Waiting a reply .

we enjoyed the main course ~~my husband sent the starter back to the kitchen but was given a salad to replace it~~the service was extremely slow especially since it was a set menu~~the other diners near us also had been waiting for a long time for each course not just because the kitchen was being continental!!! it was just poor service~~
Our waitress was very pleasant and efficient thus she wasn't a problem~
the atmosphere was okay as we were in a tiny space in a smaller room off the main room~
