This restaurant is situated inside the Gold Reef Casino complex. Ample safe parking and easy to find. The restaurant name originates from an upmarket jazz club which existed during the apartheid era, where many of the great SA artists performed daily - the likes of Miriam Makeba began their careers at the original Back of the Moon in Sophiatown.
We visited as a large group of 40 for dinner. Keeping in mind the restaurant was full and we were a large group , service was excellent. All our starters , mains and deserts were served timeously. We ordered off a set menu and everything on this menu was delicious. For starters a yummy Greek salad, which itself was huge and bread and dips were served . Mocktails were not on the menu but they were really accommodating and made a Virgin Pina Colada for me , which tasted as good as it looked. I ordered the mushroom ravioli, it was a generous portion & served with sufficient sauce with great balance of spices.
Others at the table enjoyed the prawns main.
Desert was decadent chocolate brownie fondant , and a delicious cheesecake as well. All the dishes served were beautifully plated, of the highest standard and freshly prepared.
Atmosphere is great, wonderful vibe as there was live entertainment and a dance floor.
Great food , great entertainment, great service, all in all a fantastic night out !
