The overall impression of the restaurant is relaxed, yet the efficiency and helpfulness of the staff aligns with our well-known South African hospitality. We all know that a smile goes a long way and this restaurant is all about friendly staff.
Guests can relish in a delectable selection of burgers, steaks, pizza, vegetarian meals and much more. One of my favourite items on their menu is the artisan pizzas. The calm and serene surroundings are a treasure for all to experience. The reason for my selection of the pizzas is surely influenced with the pizza oven located in the middle of the restaurant as this creates a comfortable atmosphere while a friendly chef is preparing your meal.
