Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We had lovely steaks and bottle of Big Easy wine. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the service was excellent. I've had much better wine in South Africa. We sat outside and this was lovely as it was a very hot evening.

Valentines dinner set menu, was supposed to get bubbly on arrival but got it after two other couples got theirs and we were already sitting for 15min at our table, beef fillet was supposed to be medium rare but arrived well done, had to return...it. They ran out of creme brulee and had to substitute it with cheese cake which wasn't on the menu. Service time took a while although waitress was quick to empty the table, especially after my mains as I had to wait for my correct fillet.More

The service at this restaurant was very nice and we enjoyed sitting outdoors and watching people walk by on the street (albeit plenty of panhandlers, drunks and numerous singing groups as well). The food we had, despite ordering their special local fish which the waitress...raved about, was very very mediocre. The fish was overcooked and tough-came out cold--so bad, we could not eat most of it. We had multiple starters -all disappointing- but at least edible. I don't recall the other main dish, but it was also a big disappointment. It was mostly edible, but nothing like the photos and most reviewers reported. The food experience, at best- a big MEH.More

It is always important to have a reservation for dinner for great restaurants in ZA. Therefore, we booked a table at Stellenbosch Kitchen and were warmly welcomed by the team. All of our dished were perfectly cooked and were very tasty. I loved the tomato...& peach salad with Burrata and my Beef fillet (great smokey taste). The staff was very friendly and well trained.

We wandered around Stellenbosch, looking for a relatively quiet option for dinner. We found this lovely restaurant and, although several of the tables were reserved, they were able to accommodate us at 7 pm. Kudu carpaccio appetizer was a treat. The bugers are huge, as...are the pizzas (could definitely share). They have a nice selection of wines by the glass. We enjoyed a very full-bodied pinotage from Bellevue winery. Friendly efficient service added to the experience.More
