This restaurant seems to have a brand identity crisis. When I walked in I was amazed at the beautiful decor - rivals most top restaurants throughout the US (I travel every week for business and dine is some wonderful restaurants) then..... I was walked past the server station with fountain drinks to get to my table - felt like I was in Denny's... the server told me she really didn't drink red wine so she couldn't recommend any to me, and the amount of SA wine was miniscule (have your distributor train your servers on the wine you sell, they will do that for you)....... silverware was not cleared between courses - I was told I could give them my fork and knife if I wanted to (so, it sat on the table)... the dining rooms TVs were ridiculous - it took a beautiful restaurant down to a ""cheap"" atmosphere... the beer list is awful as well - I assume either only Russian beer is sold in South Africa or the clientele is only ""Russian""? Overall, a comical disappointment even with good food - even though we enjoyed the dishes I just had to laugh it all off - it could be so much more. But, I guess with the other folks reviews and the fact the restaurant was packed, it is working fine for their diners. Could've been for us but, won't be back unless some things are brought up to the level they should be.
Pros: Food was good
Cons: Atmosphere suffers, weak wine list
