Great and outstanding service

Great experience. Chef Mpumi was exceptional

Loved our chef! We really had the culinary orgasm he promised!

Mpumelelo was interactive, able to accommodate any changes to menu as he had proposed on the website. He was very engaging and attentive to the kids. Explained ingredients of the menu and cleaned up after himself. He was professionally dressed and and very efficient and quick in prepping meals taht were very delicious.

Thank you to Chef Mpumelelo for an exquisite culinary adventure. The menu was adjusted for a seafood lover/non-meat eater. The portion sizes were generous and in general very well presented. I wouldn’t have changed a thing with the appetisers and starters. Mains was incredible-crusted calamari tubes and squid heads (a favourite). The dessert was a first time experience (orange crème brûlée) which was superb-only thing I’d add is a dark chocolate/orange drizzle on the side. Overall, a 10/10 experience and would highly recommend.
