⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing food, service from the waitresses was really attentive. If I had a critique the cheese maize balls were a bit bland and the biltong loaded fries could have a little more biltong. The meat on the platter was amazing and the chakalaka had a great flavour

⭐⭐⭐
Could not find some things which were on the menu as we were told they were not available. Food was really nice but the quantities too small as compared to the money paid. Had to get more food after leaving the restaurant.The Amarula was lumpy at the bottom and could not finish it.
