“First visit with good impressions”

Good location with a very good interior design and guests . Menu is fine for a cafe and not for a Resturant , the waiters are doing their vast to serve you and to enjoy your stay . Still new opening and running it is an experience to be gained ontime .

“Appreciation of the Jafta Kgoele (Bar at tender)”

I stayed at Kivitskroon from the 13-15 November 2019. The guy was very friendly and we needed up having dinner that we never planned. I want to appreciate his customer care etiquette as we as humor in him. These are the people that changes how we view South Africa as well as hospitality at Kivitskroon resort. " Jafter, may you continue your good work"

“Awful Lunch”

My husband & I stayed at Kievitskroon to have a few relaxing days of spa treatments & good food.. it saddens me to say that this once amazing restaurant now offers tasteless & horribly disappointing food. I didn't finish one of the three courses even though I was starving. For the rest of our stay we ate out! How nauseating!

“Romantic dinner”

The setting is lovely and the restaurant is small and intimate. We had a long wait for our dinner, and our wine choice could not be located for half an hour, but eventually was brought to us. I got the feeling our waitress was new and perhaps training. The butternut soup was interesting and delicious but the ribeye steak was thin and tough, so that was a let down. My husband had the prawn cocktail and mediteranean pasta, which he enjoyed. I ended of with a very nice creme brulet!

“Great food!!”

I simply love Granita ... food is lovely, extensive wine list, and friendly staff. Only down side is the verrry slow service. Maybe it was just bad luck with our waiter for the evening, but that really needs some attention. If not for that, I could give you a better score.

“Excellent menu, paired with good wines, great service!”

My wife and I enjoyed an excellent 7 course menu that was paired at appropriate places with good wines that brought the flavours of each dish to the fore. The waiter was top class!

“Worst restaurant food ever”

As much as I do not like to complain, this was the worst food I have ever eaten at a restaurant. All the food was super super salty, as if the chef just opened the salt shaker and let loose. I could hear several other patrons in the restaurant complaining of the saltiness. The service though, were of a very high standard.

KievitsKroon, General Manager at Granita, responded to this review.

Dear Brakkies,I'm extremely disappointed to read your review and comments about the salty food and I apologise profusely for letting you down. I am taking this up with our head chef as this is definitely not the normal standard in either of our restaurants and I would like to get to the bottom of it. I would appreciate it if you could advise me on which date you dined at Granita. Please email me directly at Francois@kievitskroon.co.za.FRANCOIS STREMMELAAR, GENERAL MANAGER

“Fabulous lunch”

We had lunch as part of the Sunday couples spa package, which includes a three-course meal. Everything beautifully plated and tasty. We especially enjoyed the kingklip for mains and the cheesecake for dessert. They have a wonderful wine list with good affordable wines. Staff are professional and friendly. We also had a lovely cheese platter and red wine at the Library Bar after a long day relaxing at the spa. Fabulous.

“Great Variety”

The staff were friendly and welcoming. The menu was explained to me and they had a great variety to choose from. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. I highly recommend the Butter Chicken Main Meal and the house wine.

What a lovely way to end an amazing spa day. We were served a 5 course meal. The service needs some work as it was very inconsistent, after we were seated we were served the bread and the amuse bouche almost simultaneously. The soup was served right after and then the service there after was very quiet, we could hardly find our servers and waited quite a while between the next courses. Having that said the food was impeccable. I would recommend the restaurant invest in some candles for the flies as this takes away from enjoying your lunch in this beautiful estate. Thank you Kievits Kroon for your lovely hospitality.
