Last night was my birthday!! I was to be treated to a special dinner in a restaurant we had not been before. Hence The Conservatory ... The Greenhouse being closed for renovations:-( When it was booked, we were asked if it was a special occasion, the reply was, yes, my colleague's birthday!. However, nothing was ever mentioned of this, not even ... a Happy Birthday. Which as the birthday boy was disappointing, even when one gets older (76) one does liked to be spoilt a little!
That apart, the evening was great. The restaurant was quiet, being the middle of winter but we had drinks by the fire (a super whisky sour for me) where my host started the wine, the wine list tends toward expensive for us mere mortals but we found an excellent one at reasonable price, suggest they add a few more at similar prices as not everyone likes to pay R300 plus for a bottle of wine here in SA..
Service was warm and friendly. Food was served promptly. Dishes were beautifully presented. Linguini Nero and Cheese Soufflé (especially) were superb as were the deserts. Mains too, nicely presented with great tastes.
This will be highly recommended to our guests as we have a Guest House in Sea Point. We will definitely visit again, probably at lunch so that we can appreciate the garden setting.
