Nice venue and decor. Great food. We found theservers instructions a little overpowering and the domineering attitude a little off puuting. Maybe its the choice of words they used. "Theres jyst a few Instructions I need to tell you" !! A better choice of words could have changed the experience.

I cannot praise THE MAD HUNTER enough! Service was friendly and informative, delivered by a Lovely Waitress who attended to all our needs (didn't get her name? but it was her last shift) Good luck to you! The FOOD was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! My BLADE OF BEEF was meltingly tasty, Partner and Aunty had the ROAST DINNER, stunning! Son loved his BUFFALO BURGER and Brother devoured the FISH Dish! Quiet, relaxed atmosphere and all VERY COVID SAFE! A MOST BRILLIANT BIRTHDAY MEAL enhanced by the Extra Happy Birthday Sweetie Treat! Will definitely return, Son wants the Croc Burger next! All round EXCELLENCE! Thank You to all the Team xxxx

We've been 3 times now and every visit has been exceptional.The food is out of this world--and so different than anywhere else.The decor and the music give it a proper South African vibe and the staff are absolutely spot on and will go out of the way to provide you with whatever you want.!!!! The food is obviously prepared with great attention to the ingredients that give each dish a truly individual and unique flavour.

We went for our first anniversary and can't rate this place high enough, absolutely outstanding. very hygienic and felt very safe with the safety measures in place for customers and staff. The reduced menu is still fantastic, I had a kangaroo burger and "dirty" biltong fries and it was amazing .

We went for our 5th Wedding Anniversary as we had enjoyed our last experience there before and wanted a special treat. As we have fond memories of our trip to Cape Town, we felt it was the right place to celebrate. The whole experience was fantastic, from the food and wine choice, to the waiting staff, who even with the restrictions did an excellent job. Would highly recommend

Excellent food & service. Have been to the St Michaels restaurant a number of times, this was just as good. Would have liked to try some different dishes but understand the limited menu is due to Covid 19. Would definately go back, Thankyou

Picked this restaurant because there were a few vegan options on the menu. Called the restaurant the day before and checked they were still available. Gentleman said the menu had changed but there would be some vegan options. Unfortunately there was no vegan main dish on the menu when we arrived although the chef did make us something which was ok. Felt a bit disappointed overall.

The owner /host and waitress were amazing, very informative, nothing too much trouble, very pleasant and very attentive but not overly. Food was gorgeous, can't wait to sample from their full menu, we were a party of 4 diners and tried a lot of varied starters, mains and deserts from what was on offer. Truly great. Do NOT be put off from the external image, inside is truly amazing, great decor, art work and fabrics. Background music was in keeping and great. We all loved it. Thank you. Janice Byrne
