La Parada Cedar Square — Restaurant in Gauteng

Waste of money. Nelton contacted me after my review and offered me 10% the next time we went. I also learned from other people (major multinational) who went there and complained while there about the shocking food. We are territorial about our Fourways neighborhood. We cannot have this substandard institution, who tone deaf about what they are meant to do. Anyway, the highest number of stars is for AMOS. He was attentive and we always felt served. Well done, Amos. The atmosphere was a star each for the magnificent sunset (picture included) and good music. The food was a let down. My Waldorf salad was oily, limp lettuce, topped with chopped chicken and I had search for the Walnuts. The pears were sliced ontop of the salad. I got the impression it's not a common order because it wasn't done properly. Suggest you either do it properly or take it off the menu. The small plates chicken wings were DRY, basted with BBQ sauce. Not good at all. The seafood pizza had hardly any seafood on it, and it didn't smell fresh.

The bill for 5 of us for R1888 (1hr 45min) was not worth it. I'm afraid we won't...

This branch is going to bring your name down. I will not go there again and I will not recommend anyone to go there. The stuff is unprofessional and very judging. The manager that was working on the 7th at night is very rude and rough. He followed me to the bathroom with one of the bouncers . They knocked on my door very aggressive knock. I was screaming that someone is in but no one gave a damn. I was terrified. They proceeded to open the door with a knife. My sister saved me because she came to the bathroom only to find two big body men standing there shouting at me to stop screaming. I didn't want to go there in the beginning because my experience the last time before this incident was still horrible. We buy bottles there and it's not nice that the manager and the waiters chase us before we finish our drinks. Shouting in Zulu that tells those people to go. That is unprofessional.

Please have a look at this branch. It's new but it's going to bring you...

Shocking experience for lunch yesterday. We were one of two tables with customers in the whole restaurant. Many of the food items ordered by my colleagues were not in stock. The sushi meal was not presented as indicated on the menu and the tuna was off. Medium to well-done steaks were raw in the middle. Lamb chops were chewy and exceptionally dry. The chips on the one order were burnt and not the same as the other orders and the side salad was old. My caesar salad was only brought to the table after my guests were more than half way through their meals. After complaining the manager removed the sushi and the side salad (thankfully from the bill too). I had to take the caesar salad away as there was no time to eat it before my next meeting. I wonder how they cope when the restaurant is busy? For such an expensive restaurant - definitely not worth...
