This by far has been the most amazing restaurant experience in Plett I’ve ever had.
Well done to the chefs & the staff , they were absolutely terrific , the service was so friendly and the food was life changing... like WOW! For starters I had the well cooked Tempura Prawns that came with a delicate eggplant with a magnificent sauce on top- I could eat that ever day.
For mains I had the chicken breast which is by far the best I’ve ever tasted and they were surrounded by tasty vegetables that are suitable with the great portions , the sauce for the chicken breast and mushrooms were so tasty! It was unbelievably amazing, the placing of the food was always so artistic .I highly recommend it . - Thank you.
Seafood at the Plettenberg has been a spot we visit every year, and we make it our mission to book months in advance to get place, and enjoy the spectacular view and setting it has to offer. This year however I was a bit disappointed. I will start by saying their food and people in charge of front of house and managing the booking are worth a FULL 5 because it was stunningly plated, the trouble they went to accommodate us was just as good. But unfortunately where they shine in the food department the restaurant lacks in service, we had to pay for a set menu because we were a bigger party which I don't understand as we were the only ones in the restaurant at the time, thus didn't occupy any table that might be used for guests of the hotel, the set menu was set out with 3 courses, which were individually priced much cheaper on the Al la carte menu, we were over charged by almost 90 rand per person, times this by 15 it is quite an amount. Thank you so much for fixing the problem though after we made notice of this to one of the managers we are truly grateful. But the service from the waiter was shocking he got all our steak orders wrong, medium rare was given to people that ordered well done and vise versa. He struggled to take our orders and constantly got confused on what we were trying to order and who ordered what. Some dishes stood out more than others : the baked cheese soufflé and the lamb was exquisite, where dishes like the tempura prawns and chocolate ganache lacked flavour, and generosity. Less isn't always more when you pay 90 rand almost for 3 small triangles of chocolate ganache. The overall experience wasn't great unfortunately ad we have been coming here for 5 years now, and service-wise something has to be done. I don't think we will be returning otherwise next year again.
Heard about it, booked table same day, went in with high expectations and was not disappointed. The ambience is beautiful, aperitifs on the patio with stunning views, the menu varied. Food very good, nice wine selection and good wine advice from the waitress. A lovely evening and worth every penny.
