There are some things I absolutely love, and things I find very off-putting.Arriving at the venue (where Gondwanas used to be) we had a table at the entrance, which was not the table we had booked, the booking we had made, got lost and we were left feeling forgotten.Nevertheless, we made ourselves comfortable and ordered wine and food, the wine service was below par as we were left to pour our own wine and the wine was not presented to us properly, I guess it's fine for the type of establishment, but it's a simple thing that elevates service. The price per bottle was good at 135 for a Durbanville Hills Chardonnay.The food we had ordered tasted good, the Cajun pasta was fresh and tasty, with a bit of a bite. The taquitos left alot to be desired, although the chips were good (they weren't hand-cut, they tasted like, and seemed to be out of a frozen packet.)The main drawback was the music. I myself am a musician, a guitarist to be exact. The performer on the guitar was skilled and great at what he does, but it was WAY TOO LOUD. The speakers, aswell as his amplifier had too much Gain and distortion, making it unbearable at times. Earlier in the evening when the DJ was playing, the volume was perfect. The guitar was way too loud and the fact that he was playing instrumentals of songs I would have loved to have heard, played normally. We were happier when he was taking a break from playing.The margaritas (frozen) were a bit dry, the shaken margaritas were nice, but too rich in alcohol. Some people would find that nice.I love the fact that they have pool tables that don't jam, I loved that we could watch the world cup game. The corner where the pool tables were, was comfortable and a pleasure to look at, even the optical illusion on the wall gave us the vibes.I woke up with an upset stomach and I don't know if it was the Cajun pasta I had, the pasta was great thoughThe waitress was okay, but from a service standpoint, not on her game. I still tipped 20%. I try to tip around 40%, as I know the industry and have worked in the industry for many years, but I feel like there are lots of small things that they can do to elevate their service. Right now it gives me a white tiger/beershack feel and I was hoping it wasn't the case. Service should be a priority, and I don't feel like it was.The menu is also surprisingly limited, with 1 taquito option and 1 steak option.

Great place!! Good service!! The banana and caramel pancakes are to die for. Pool tables are leveled which is always a big plus and away from the tables so if u play pool u dont get in anyones way!!! Music levels not to loud u can have a conversation while still chill and look at he AMAZING view!!!! Definitely coming back there!!! BEST PANCAKES EVER!!!+!

We were rushed for time and needed to have a good meal on the go.We ordered our meals and drinks - and the service was excellent! The generous portions were delicious and well prepared.The fact that we could enjoy a view of the ocean as well, was a spoilt addition.When we have another opportunity to linger and enjoy the ambiance, we will definitely go there again.

The food was really good. Waitress very friendly and attentive.

The ambience is great but the food is awful. Don't order seafood at this place. I ordered hake and calamari and the fish from a supermarket tastes way better. I complained that the fish is off and made them taste it and they insisted it's fine. I was astonished. My sister ordered the rib burger and it was also a huge let down, tested like fake meat. If you feel brave enough to come here then opt for the beef since my aunt was satisfied.

It's a great place, I just personally feel like they can do better, in terms of service and cleanliness.Please tip your waiter or you might be interigated about her service.
