Table Mountain Comares — Restaurant in Comares

First... The road up there is spectacular... and there are other restaurants.. We came a Sunday, in rain and very cloudy, but even then the road and the view between the clouds very fantastic.. This Sunday they had decided to celebrate the Dutch kings day, which was Monday We got a table, and waited for some one to bring our beverage, then we ordered starters: The house specialty of Pil Pil was greasy and "tasteless". The Goat cheese was a cheap version and felt all dry in the mouth. The bread was dry.. Main: I had a filet with Spanish potatoes???? Greasy potatoes with garlic and paprika, only it was one little piece of paprika and only the shell of the garlic, not seasoned at all. The cow was not dead yet, so I asked for a couple of minutes more on the grill. didn't take long before it came back... you could see the coagulation of the egg white in the meat juice, both on the meat and in the oil floating around on the plate.. Conclusion... somebody nuked it... After that we had a coffee on the house, and left... no excuses, except the coffee, they even tried to deny it..

We will definitely go up on the mountain again, but we will try another...

For our main course, we both ordered the Pork Medalions. I had the sweet malaga wine sauce whilst the wife had the peppercorn & mushroom sauce. It was served with wok fried vegetables and chips. We both found the pork medalions to be tough and very dry.

Service was lacklustre, with another couple leaving having been waiting for a good 10-15 minutes.

To summarise, nice venue at great location, but...

At the end of a lovely holiday, we decided to end our journey here after reading reviews online, as well as recommendations from a couple of friendly locals. The sharing platters that we ordered were lovely, especially the nachos and sauces accompanied with these. However the mains for some left much to be desired. The less said about the fish the better! 5 star prices accompanied with 2 star food. Staff were lovely but the meal was not quite what we...
