Visited on recommendation. Big disappointment. Ordered well done sirloin with biltong and brie stuffing. Brought me half done steak. Sent it back, they brought it back few minutes later after putting it back on the grill without the stuffing. Sent it back again, came back with a smidget of stuffing. Friendly waitress though and nice atmosphere but definitely not worth revisiting.

Great ambiance, a nice place to have your meetings by day and after work drinks in the late afternoon.

Food is amazing, truly enjoyed the breakfast.

Service on Saturday is the worst the waiters take forever to attend to you.it took about an hour to get the bill after asking three times for it. I really did not enjoy my time there.

This place is absolutely lovely, perfect for a relaxed Saturday afternoon, the food was really good. Very aesthetically pleasing, brings an almost beachy feel to the city. The staff is also quite friendly.

Enjoyed the atmosphere, the waiters are so friendly and welcoming.the food was amazing. Lovely place

Loved the service, the food was amazing and the ambiance was just as great.
I had a great ribeye stake!

Excellent atmosphere, pity about the wait to enter, but I guess that is the result of COVID-19.

A way to disappoint a customer
Arrived on time for the booking. At 14.01.
Waited 14.16 for a waiter. Decided to call the establishments office number at 14.17 to request for a menu.
Only to be given a menu at 14.20.
The waiter who attended to me told me ghat his shift is about to change so he was coming to drop off the menu.
I then asked whats the point of him helping me if the shift is about to change?
Requested to be helped by my actual waiter who'll be attending to me in the next shift.

This service is truly unexpected. Being a fan of both the V&A and waterfall branches.this was dismal.

The waiter finally arrived at 14.26.only in passing. Asking me if I'd been helped. Wow.

Terrible experience. Our reservation was not noted. Our waiters service was terrible, unfriendly, inefficient. He left us for ages without taking the orders. My friends tonic spilled when she opened the can, as if it had been shaken. The waiter claimed that the suger free tonic usually does that and refused to cancel the second gin shot she had ordered, despite not having brought it to the table yet. We were celebrating a birthday and took a birthday cake. The waiter left the cake in the sun on the table for a while after I requested him to keep it in a cool place. When he was asked to bring out the cake I expected it would be opened and brought out like done in all other restaurants. He just brought the cake back in the box, as I had given it to him, no knife, side plates. 3 poke bowls were ordered. The extra sides for the poke bowls were just placed on 1 plate and brought to the table. 1 extra side was chicken and was mixed with the sides ordered by a pescatarian. The edamame was omitted from all the poke bowls. When it was requested we were given a small portion in 1 bowl, that hardly seemed like enough for 3 poke bowls. Overall a very disappointing experience.

What an amazing place. Very nice food and the berista is next level. Made my morning with that nice message. Thank you!

Good location for small groups. We had some booking challanges and orders. Nevertheless food was very well presented and tasty so more stars for the kitchen!

Not the best experience. Service needs to be improved. Was looking for a different vibe but we still managed to chill for a couple of hours.

The mojitos were good, sevice can be better, its a popular place and it does get busy and you tend to wait forever to get served which is frustrating

Had a few drinks here with my friends. Love the deco and atmosphere. Didn't get to try their menu but will definitely be going back again.

Very well designed restaurant and a very good menu aswell. The food is of the highest quality with a very wide variety of meals. I highly recommend the steaks from here as I've eaten it numerous times with no complaints. The place is very vibrant and it a at it's best on Fridayand Saturday evenings. I recently tried the desserts and its was unbelievably good! Would easily recommend this place and will definitely return.

Service was terrible, waited 30 min for a coffee even though the place was empty, ended up leaving before ordering food.

Oh my word.this is Life Grand Tavern. Loud, trashy and lacks class. What a shame! It's so misplaced.
But sadly, waterfall corner is slowly turning into shebeen central. Most locals don't even dine nor shop here any longer. The noise from this cafe is such an inconvenience, ruins the entire shopping experience.

Had a nice breakfast (Salmon Benedict) and a couple of decaf espressos. The espresso has a stronger, burnt taste than typical Italian roast beans (Lavazza, Illy, Segafredo, etc.) with an interesting slightly sour after-taste.
Service was responsive and helpful. Easy parking.

Unfortunately discovered in late. You bump into South African A list celebrities. Great atmosphere. Can't wait to get back there
