Eden Champagne Garden — Restaurant in Greyville

We had our ladies night there on a Wednesday night & we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The menu is simple with a variety on offer. My friends & I shared the bacon & avo salad, pulled pork sliders, calamari & prawn pasta. The food was wonderful with good quality ingredients. My only food critique is that the prawn pasta was WAY too spicy & I actually can handle a decent amount of heat. Asked if they could add cream which was done without a question, but unfortunately even with the addition of cream none of us could eat it. What I could taste though (before my tongue booked off sick) it was really delicious.

The decor is absolutely gorgeous & there are LOADS of nice photo spots. Music is vibey & up tempo, but a little loud for all us girls to chat & hear each other across a large table.

The service was extremely good & Jonathan was attentive & patient considering he was serving 18 women 🤣

My only major concern was the wine offering. Out of the 10 or so wines listed on their menu they only had 4 in stock & they DO NOT offer wine by the glass which in my opinion isn't great practice. This for me would be the only reason I wouldn't return as I am a wine drinker & their limited offering & rule against corkage makes it difficult with their very limued offering. Their cocktails looked incredible though so if that's your vibe then you will...

Ultimately the service at a place plays an important role in the overall experience at an establishment. We were given a very rickety table and when we asked to move we were rudely told that the unreserved empty 4 seater table was too big for 2 of us and even if nobody came it doesn't matter you can't sit here then he stormed off. The cherry on top was as we exited the door we were accused of not paying the bill after we paid R1600 for 2 of us. It was extremely embarrassing and unprofessional to be accused to the point of having to produce the receipt. There were so many other things that I can't care to write about but ultimately I will never set foot in this place again, there are plenty similar establishments in Durban with much...

If you're all about the social media life, then sure go ahead. Just make sure you're poshed up to feature. It's beautifully set up. Went to the buffet brunch.. booked in advance. Food ran out. Mind you, it was tasty however not out the ordinary. Was only allowed 1 option for dessert. They mentioned that they'd bring out curry and rice... still waiting for it. Left there hungry. Waitrons took forever to bring "unlimited" bubbly (I opted for OJ). Was forced to tip even after poor service received. On a positive note, they didn't run out of the word 'sorry and apologise' lololol... Also, music was good and the bartenders were amazing... Oh yes, they need to definitely look up the word...
