We stumbled upon this little gem of a place while I Hout bay for the weekend. The harvest table is such a delightful treat and a must have 😍 the blueberry cake cheesecake is to die for!

Food was really tasty, well prepared and great variety. Definitely worth going back for. The service was mediocre at best, had to get waiters attention for service after being seated for quite some time. There were four waiters/waitresses serving and at times they were all together at the cashier's point laughing and chatting. The staff walked passed a number of times before clearing the empty plates. The capuchino and the sweet were not served together, despite being ordered at the same time. Ordered one capuchino but got served with two. When the bill was presented a card machine was asked for, again after waiting for quite a few minutes, I eventually got and went to the cashier point. There were two machines available, but had to wait for another customer to complete paying before I could process my payment on the same machine. Chef Tam was great, trying to making everyone feel at home and comfortable. It's a pity that her staff didn't do enough to support her. The atmosphere is great, comfortable, shady and inviting.

Absolutely fantastic place to go. I loved it! Warm & cost. Such delicious food and great staff. Can’t wait to come again :) also great prices!

Really liked this place. I had the Harvest lunch. Very very good. Didn't try anything else. The outdoor setting is fantastic, great ambience and the service was great! Highly recommend!
