I seem to have missed more dinners than i thought lol. My apologies to everyone...I will do my best to stay on top of things :)
Lets see....December was Chai Yo in Canal walk. We had a lovely table outside on the water...did get a bit cold as the evening progressed, but we had great fun. Their sushi is delicious - as is every on their menu. If you're a steak and potato person, this is unfortunately not the place to go, but give it a go if you're looking to try something different. Sushi, Curry, chicken...take your pic. I just loved the way they presented all their food - almost made you not want to eat it :)
Special thank you to Nicole...our christmas cookies were absolutely delicious!!!!!
January - Bring 'n Braai at our local pub (The Cue Inn, 92C Monte Vista Boulevard, Monte Vista) - even had crayfish tails!! No complaints about the food here as we did everything ourselves lol. Had a great evening!!
February - Eastwoods, Edward Street: Loved the place itself eventhough our food arrived cold and the steaks werent the best cut. This is more of an after work meeting place though i would say. Go there for a few drinks with friends and enjoy the lovely Tapas on the menu - especially the poppers :)
March was Rick's Cafe in Gardens. Stunning place with a relaxed yet vibey atmosphere. Food was delicious and portions huge. The also have great specials on cocktails...but we missed that by about half an hour :(
April - Slattery's (oude westhof): Definitely one of the worst dinner outings. The fact that there were only 2 other tables maybe should have warned us, but being a Tuesday night we didnt take notice of it. The best thing about the evening was our seating outside. It was a lovely evening outside under the stars. The food took forever to get to us. Half the steaks were over done - no one dared send it back as we had already waited over an hour for the food to arrive. The chef did send out 2 portions of steak (free of charge) but by that time it was a bit late and all the unappetizing steaks had already been half eaten. They also didn't have some of the "home cooked" meals available. 2 of our dinner guests were sick the next day (not sure if it was the Salmon which had quite probably been standing a few weeks). Then we had some drama when we left with 2 tyres that was being let down. Suppose its not the restaurants fault...but we wont be going back there in any case.
Thats it for now...sorry for the extremely short reviews....but not so easy 4 months down the line :)
see everyone at our next dinner
