I'll give it the benefit of the doubt because they are still new and are obviously settling into the Lusaka market and its competitiveness. I'll begin with the food, which was undeniably delicious. I'd have preferred for the portions to be a little better considering how much they charge(for example my pasta was honestly something I'd consider a kids portion, even if its "fine dining" I was disappointed). It didn't change how I felt about the food though, it was great and I would recommend their food a 100%. The service was not up to par I'm afraid, we were not given a warm welcome upon entry, our waitrons were taking their time and often just standing afar chatting while we signalled our need for service. They can do better on that. The atmosphere is great! Everything is arranged so beautifully and you get a chance to actually interact with people as you eat because of the calmness of the place. My only hope is that it doesn't turn out to be another Lusaka "club" because by 10pm the music had already gotten louder and the place was overly crowded with teenagers and people wanting to drink the night away. Hopefully they take note of what exactly they want to be "restaurant or club" and stick by it, maintaining a good standard would be a great start to...
ย ย ย Read moreThe place has a great atmosphere and welcoming environment, Kudos๐.
BUT, we get disappointed with the food. The roasted chicken thighs that i ordered were covered with a lot "kind of BBQ sauce", but unfortunately, the chicken itself lacked flavor, which could be the reason for the abundance of sauce. Additionally, it was supposed to be three thighs but received only two and a half. The disappointment continued with the Salad Nicoise - there were no potatoes and olives in the salad but there was oily croutons due to being fried (seriously croutons in salad niรงoise? Chef! You should revise yourself, I'm from France specially from Nice, don't fool people please,๐). Lastly, the 1/4 rotisserie chicken was also over-basted with BBQ sauce, (oh god! ๐คฆwhat was the chef thinking to baste the chicken rotisserie with Bbque sauce) which the chicken was quite salty. I ended eating one of the 2 and 1/2 chicken thighs and bite a bit in the 1/4 chicken, and left this was our first visit and will not visit this place again, especially after seeing the number of managers or owners present that day serving this kind of foods quality. It's a...
ย ย ย Read moreThe place is nice. Big, spacious, lots of seating. My mistake was going on a weekend. If you like loud music and talking, drinking, a more chilled vibe then on the weekends would be ideal. If you want something quieter, I heard during the week is better.
First, if you're going on the weekend reserve a table in advance as it gets PACKED. The ambience was good and the servers were super helpful. Each server is assigned to specific tables so you'll be attended to properly. Even willing to move tables and chairs if need be and wanting to.
The food was ok. Nothing wowing. I had tandoori bream and it was fresh and well seasoned. My husband had the beef and it was tender and done according to what he asked. The mashed potatoes weren't good and could've been better. Was too stiff and not creamy and smooth. I had a mocktail which was very sweet.
The seatings are comfortable and in good condition. There's seating available for 2 or for large groups of need be.
Will like to return and try the breakfast menu. Or a day...
