“Dinner & Wine pairing - Fantastic evening”
I went for dinner and wine pairing here with my sister and brother in law and we had a wonderful experience. The restaurant was taken over by new management in 2019 and they gave the place a much needed makeover. We had a 4 course pairing with wine from Ashton Winery and enjoyed a full presentation as well. The food was absolutely delicious, the vibe was amazing, the prices were very reasonable and the waitrons and owners were so friendly. Would definitely go again.

“Amazing food and great atmosphere”
We were a group of 10+ people which was no problem to the well trained and very friendly waiters! The food was DELICIOUS and very well priced! The new owners interact with the guests and really look after them. Will definitely be back! Well done to you all!!

“Delish and great music”
The new owners are working so hard at making changes and it shows.... Wow the food really has improved. Great value for money. The live bands are carefully selected - always lekker to watch live music. The menu has something for everyone including suiting different pockets. Really love this place... Good food, good music, good service, great atmosphere! Just what the deep south needs.

“A firm favourite 'local', great pub atmosphere and food”
We keep returning for our favourite dishes like pork knuckle (incorrectly called eisbein in South Africa, as its made crispy in 'Schweinshaxe' style).Worth the trek into the suburbs, we always enjoy our food and have great service.

“Steaks and Ribs to die for”
Madeira has become a favourite for me, the steaks and Ribs are really great, The log fire on a cool night makes it homely, and the live music good and not invasive.

“Delicious calamari”
Went with family of 5 and we all had the pub lunch specials between a certain time of the day. Well portioned food. And everything was prepared well. Delicious and excellent portions. Seafood was excellent :) definitely will come again.

“Never again”
we went for dinner for my friend's bday in April. the fans were blowing on our table and I think I asked them to turn them down/off 3 times but to no avail.the food was slow but that's to be understood because it was a big group. some people's drinks were forgotten though, and when the food arrived it wasn't very warm. instead of sending it back because we were starving, we dug in. i ordered the chicken breast with chips and roll. should have ordered some extra sauce because the chicken was very dry. don't think I will go again.

“Dinner and music”
We were invited to listen to some good music provided by a husband and wife team. My friend accompanied them with her lovely voice. We sat outside on a Friday night under the vines and the place was packed! I chose a Calamari steak and my partner had chops. I have battled to find calamari steak elsewhere and this was truly awesome. My partner enjoyed his chops! We had a good bottle of wine and did some dancing as well. All in all a great evening.

Food Service Ambience Value for Money
Bright lights and a bare, empty interior made for a very poor ambiance. Justin the waiter was friendly and efficient. We were 6 and the feedback on the food was mixed. Those with calamari were not impressed and the person who had ribs said they were dry with not enough sauce. Reports on the prawns were average but two people who had Trinchado raved about it. Everyone liked the chips. The prices were more than reasonable and if it wasn't for the overly bright and barren interior I would be back. They need to reduce the bright lights and add some decor and maybe they could have more than two tables for the whole night. Maybe the noisy pub section at the entrance to the restaurant keeps them going.
