"Ace in Athol"
8.0 Cuisine 8 | Service 8 | Atmosphere 8

Lovely evening! Staff were accommodating as we requested a slight menu change. Menu had a good variety of flavours and textures. Food was plated beautifully. We were made to feel warm and conformable and it was great to meet and talk to the chef who did more than engage in quick chit chat. Would definitely go back!

The food was amazing - the pork belly was easily the best I have ever had. Service was mediocre - wine was hidden around the corner out of sight and our glases were empty. I had requested months ago in writing it was hubby's birthday pls can we have candle and sing. Confirmed on the day with the woman who confirmed booking and dietaries - was assured would have something spevial. Ordered 4th course just to give them something to add a candle into. No candleso I thought a special token dessert would come with candle but nothing came. That was very dissapointing. Kudos to the chef - too bad restaurant management not at your level.

We had a very good fine dining experience at Athol Place restaurant. The restaurant forms part of a Boutique Hotel in the suburbs of Sandton. It's got a stunning ambiance, being set on the verandah of a quite suburban garden.

The cuisine was 'fine dining', essentially a tasting menu. It was really well put together and the 3-courses we opted for were perfect for us. None of the options were 'overdone' in terms of tastes, which is something I've found can be a problem on tasting menus. There was also an option to take a 4th course at an extra R80, but we declined. Service was very good and the wine list is reasonably broad, with a few reasonably-priced options if you want to keep the final bill down.

Overall a very enjoyable experience. We will probably want to come back with some friends. This was the 3rd restaurant we've visited so far in Restaurant Week. In our books, it comes in a very close second behind Piccolo Mondo and well ahead of Pigalle. Two more to go!

Went to Athol Place for lunch with my mom and sister and what a great experience. The service was fantastic, everyone from the security gentleman at the gate to our waiter, the chef and everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and of course the venue is just gorgeous. My mom and I had the roast duck and my sister had the sea bass. We all enjoyed our dishes. We sat in the patio, overlooking the pool area. I would definitely go back but not every day, because it is a bit pricey. Great for family lunches/dinners and special occasions.
