Spending a quick overnight in Knysna and walked up from accommodation for dinner. Isaac our waiter was fabulous, service was quick, efficient and steak egg and chips delicious. We sat outside and the area was 40% full mid week. The restaurant has an interesting decoration and feel and there were many groups of friends, foreign visitors and youngsters as patrons. Well done on a comprehensive menue and on the cocktails which seem very popular with 2 tables indoors.

Just had the most amazing meal with my girls at this gem of a restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious—every bite was packed with flavor. Great vibes, warm service, and memories made over mouthwatering dishes. We’ll definitely be back!

Great place, the staff is super friendly and efficient, the drinks and food were delicious, well priced and delivered in good time. I would definitely recommend and I would go back again:) We had the eisbein, chicken schnitzel, sex on the beach cocktail and some other drinks. Despite our meal being more than R300 per person it was very reasonable as we had food and 4 drinks each.

Visited them twice had chocknut Sunday on Saturday. Very good. Lunch on Monday. Best ribs I have ever had!!

Great Rib burgers! They have Castle Beer and a few others on Tap. We went on a Sunday evening and it wasn't to busy so service was fast and friendly. The toilets are clean. They played a chilled playlist.
