Kream - Brooklyn

Kream is a regular for special occasions between my wife and I. We visit Kream at least twice a year (because of Covid). This time, we visited Kream to celebrate my birthday and it was out first visit for the year. Our experience this time around was above average due to the fact that we expected a different menu after our last visit.Below is our ratings for the food.STARTERChicken nachos (10/10)Snails (5/10)MAINSOxtail (8/10)Kingklip (6/10)Dessert Baked pear with vanilla ice cream (10/10)SERVICE (10/10)Kream can definitely improve their offerings and change the menu every few months.

The Restaurant Week lunch special for R250 pp was really great value for money at this stylish eatery. The generous portion of sirloin with biltong and gorgonzola was perfectly cooked and very tasty. The pork ribs were also tender and tasty. The malva pudding and blondies and brownies were a fabulous sweet ending to a great meal. Friendly attentive service.

To kick off our Restaurant Week in 2021, we selected to return to Kream. Situated in Brooklyn, this stylish venue offers a high-end dining experience. Everyone welcomed us and were very friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The 2 coarse lunch menu featured a selection of either chicken , beef or fish and a vegetarian option, with 2 deserts to choose from. For our lunch we chose their Chicken and Beef. The Sirloin, which was served on a bed of wilted spinach and topped with blue cheese and biltong was prepared perfectly as ordered and very tasty. The 2 meats with the blue cheese being a great combination. This was accompanied by a delicious potato fondant, which was beautifully browned in butter and stock. The Cajun Chicken breast was served on a bed of baby rocket, parmesan and onion marmalade, accompanied by a serving of skinny fries. Unfortunately the chicken was tough, and the creamy spicy Cajun vanilla sauce tasted more of a diluted tamarind basting with no real spiciness or spice. The two tomato wedges, which were grilled tasted like they were prepared the day before. The bed of baby rocket, parmesan and onion marmalade were a great combination and was fresh and tasty. For desert we selected each of their options – Their Blondies and Brownies and a Malva pudding. The Malva pudding was delicious, being moist and sweet. This was served with fresh custard and some creamy vanilla ice cream on top of some shortbread crumble. A great traditional favourite. The Blondies and Brownies (a white chocolate brownie and a dark chocolate brownie) was wonderfully stodgy and sweet on their own. The Blondie was covered in Condensed Milk which amplified the sweetness and along with the dark chocolate sauce which drenched the Brownie made everything too sweet and completely overpowered the subtle taste of the Pistachio ice cream. (For personal taste I would have selected a more bitter chocolate sauce and only drizzled it over the Brownie to balance the sweetness of the Brownie itself and a little Vanilla Cream over the Blondie).

Celebrated my son's civil wedding ceremony here. Service was good but it would be great if the specials on the menu could be printed so we could see what they consisted of. Doesn't help to rattle off a whole list of specials.Just a word of warning - DO NOT order the chicken parmigiana. This is ordinarily one of my favourite dishes. What they served was terrible. A little rolled up something on a bed of very ordinary noodles and sauce. It was dry and not particularly tasty.Everybody else enjoyed their meals.

WOW WOW WOW!Okay so online booking was a breeze! What was amazing was that they asked online if the booking was for a special occasion and when you state which special occasion it is, they do something truly fabulous.Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and shown to a table which was at lest 2m apart from every other table (they did social distancing the way it should be done by restaurants everywhere- we felt comfortable and safe at the same time). The waitress was incredibly professional and so welcoming! She knew what the dishes contained and was able to recommend perfect complimentary wines with the meals.The food was presented like an art-work and the flavours were so layered that it took me some time to sit and truly appreciate the effort and thought that went into each dish.I went for an anniversary- not only did they tastefully decorate our table, they also created a special dessert wishing us a happy anniversary. They also took a photo that they PRINTED out and gave to us at the end of the meal!I cannot wait to return to this restuarant!

As a previous guest to Kream expected much better. Service was below average, started of with still water which magically changed to sparkling on the second glass. Opted for the chef choice kudu loin. Got a piece of meat my knive could not penetrate and the worst looking unsalted carrots I have ever seen. Even the bread that was offered looked shop bought. The floor was looking dirty and service compared to previous times visiting Kream was slow and rather poor. I am very dissapointed and could not even complain as it seamed the manager was too busy to notice. Did not expect it and will never waste my time and money again.

Such a lovely atmosphere with fantastic service. They definitely go out of their way to create a special evening with lovely food.

Food was average, nothing special. Service was uneven, very loud large party made ambiance not great.

I was extremeley impressed with the quality of my lunch today!Looking at the entire menu all the pricing is really good!I believe there is a daily 3 course Special menu which i am definately going to have to try soon.

Our very first option coming to Pretoria is dining at Kream! Our all time favorite ! After 2 hours of visiting my Father in hospital this afternoon Hubby took me to Kream to wind down and we arrived just after 16:00 for sundowners and an early supper! Just after our order was placed for mains the Hostess (very blunt) advised that our table was booked for a 18:30 supper! When we arrived and even left the restaurant was still empty ..So the food was rushed to our table! Desserts was delivered very quickly and the waitress still thanked us for leaving promptly at 18:20! Hubby order “Rock Lobster” - very average and I ordered the Trout which was quite dry and the wilted spinach not very tasteful! The “signature Cream Brule” was beautifully dished up but quite tasteless - reminded me of a Spur dessert! Sorry Kream - we won’t be back! You have lost your sparkle! Will be looking for a new favorite in Pretoria!
