Fantastic Upscale Modern Cuisine. Food well-seasoned with spices. Local Cape Town ingredients. Family style w/ small plates to share. Nice handcrafted cocktails. Great for late night and last minute reservation. They also let us use the private dining room for our party of 7 without extra charge. Nice interiors with safari vibe. Part of the More Quarters Hotel group. 7-Course Dinner Tasting Menu around $40 USD ($35 for vegetarian), 2 people minimum. Tasting Menu took 2.5 hours. A la carte available. Water $3 USD per bottle.
