About The Chef My name is Paul Friedman and I like to think of myself as just an ordinary guy who has had a lifetime love affair with food and the fortune of having owned and operated 58 restaurants in South Africa, Europe and the United States. I grew up in what was known as the Transvaal province of South Africa, they called it the land of the Xhosas, one of the major ethnic tribes in this part of Africa. Together with fellow N'guni peoples, the Zulu. They make up the majority of the South African population.There are ano... read more

Tonight's experience was perfect in every sense of the word, from the greeting we received upon our arrival to the exemplary service provided by Courtney, from the mouth-watering Oscar Fillet (topped with lobster and crab) to the amazing Passion Fruit Creme Brulee for dessert. It was a lovely evening, and we'll definitely be back!
Great food and experience
Nice mix of standard American fate with interesting flavors from southern Africa, mainly South Africa. The front staff is new and unseasoned so be patient. The wait staff is well experienced and attentive to both guest and detail. Trust their recommendations on food and drink. The food tasted fresh and flavorful. The presentations do get attention and made me hungrier. Prices match the quality. Overall, a good place for a special occasion or a holiday dinner.
Stop reading reviews and check this place out already! My wife and I had an amazing experience here for our wedding anniversary. Great ambience and a highly professional wait staff. The cocktails were amazing! Chef Paul really loves what he does - enough to come over, say hi, and make my old fashioned personally at our table. On top of the amazing food and highly professional wait staff, Chef Paul was like that uncle that kept making sure you're having a great time! Garlic Naan was a nice start and bursting with flavor.

We went there right after they opened It still had some semblance of Peli Peli, but good job renovating. It was ok. But nothing special. Huge menu, but felt like the food choices were all over the place. It want to be fine dining—worth the atmosphere and prices. However, the food was clunky and lacked finesse. Hopefully, it was just adjusting and the kinks have been worked out.
Amazing food and service! Highly recommend for any meeting or a meal without children.
Awesome experience, spent a little time with Chef Paul who truly enjoys bringing South African food to your table. Highly highly highly suggest the ribblets and the short stacks. Amazing!
We were visiting from out of town and our hosts brought us here. I’m sad we don’t have such a great place back home! Everything was great - the food was delicious, and our server Jayme was really helpful and friendly. I had the chicken pendurada; others in the group had steak dishes and everyone loved what they got. The sides were flavorful and plenty. For dessert we had the sticky toffee pudding and lava cake and they were both really well made. I regret having but one stomach to dedicate to the food!
