The service was very good, the service staff worked as a team, the manager in attendance all the time & had good interaction with customers. Our service at our table was excellent.
The food was very tasty, the starter, calamari was delicious with good flavor combinations , my 2nd course was the sirloin, very tender with a delicious sauce. The portion was large & sadly I could not finish it. The dessert, creme brûlée was beautifully served but alas the portion was huge. All in all a very pleasant evening and there was a good vibe in the Restaurant

We visited Pigalle Sandton on the evening of Friday, 20 October. On arrival we were greeted by friendly Front Of House staff who promptly showed us to our table. The overall experience of the evening was not quite what we would have expected from a restaurant of Pigalle's rating. Though the service from the staff was friendly and professional, the process seemed mechanical; we felt a little rushed - e.g. my main course arrived while I was still busy with my starter. The ambiance was energetic with a mixture of friends, families and business people enjoying a meal at the restaurant.

Review of the evening's foods is as follows:

Starters
- Venesen Carpaccio: The starter was nicely presented, light and tasty.

- Pear & Almond Salad: Though the starter was tasty, is was not a good looking dish. The caramelized pear was a bit sparse on the plate and the salad dressing rather sweet. As a re-engineered dish, this could pass as a tasty desert.

Main Course:
- Kingklip: The fish was nicely prepared and the chorizo combination was an interesting one. I did find it too salty for my liking, even with the sweet corn and check pea puree that accompanied the dish.

- Sirloin Steak: The steak was succulent and nicely prepared. Unfortunately the vegetables and crushed potato that accompanied the meal was a bit of a let-down.

Desert:
- Chocolate Brownie: In my opinion, the desert was the best part of the evening's meal. It was moist and rich in flavour and worked well with the ice cream. I was somehow expecting it to be served warm. The centre of the brownie was cold as if it was kept in the fridge and did not quite reach room temperature before it was served. All things considered, I can recommend the chocolate brownie desert.

the welcoming was great and the service as well.

My food from starters to desserts was delicious but my partner complains about his started, he had the chicken livers and he said that it was a bit burn and then for his main course he said that the baby range chicken was very dry.

Overall the experience was great. Maybe it is just that the menu for the restaurant week was poor.
