Although main dishes were limited to red meat or a vegan choice, the appetizers were more than enough to create a meal with variety and savory flavors. The wine list offered an amazing selection.

The food was absolutely outstanding. Service was extremely attentive and youthfully enthusiastic. Wine was superb. A real treat of an evening. For that special occasion perhaps? It's perfect

We had dinner at the Roundhouse Restaurant for our 4th year anniversary, what a great restaurant for any event, especially an anniversary. We did the food and wine pairing, absolutely superb! The staff was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and very well groomed. They even added that extra touch with personalized printed menus for our anniversary. From the beginning to the end... More

This is an ideal setting for a long lazy lunch, with amazing views over Camps Bay. The picnics are outstanding and I love that you can "build your own". Good wine selection too. Service is friendly and efficient.

We were greeted at the car which came as a little bit of a shock but it was a nice touch. The menus are set to 4 courses and its well worth being adventurous. We were greeted with a personalised menu and the waiters called us by name when addressing us. The little extra touches were fabulous. The sommelier was... More

We had lunch for my wife's birthday. By asking a few key questions when I made the reservation, small things like a personalised menu wishing her a happy birthday were presented. Questions about diners preferences meant we were presented with a small menu with exquisitely prepared 3 courses. We took the option of wine pairing with our meal and were... More

The service was excellent. They have interesting food combinations. The wine list is very good. The dessert was to die for.

Roundhouse is warm and wonderful. There was a special menu for my birthday. The 4 course meal was incredible and the service superb. Two comments - we sat on one side of the restaurant near the door to the restrooms which was very distracting. Also, we found the time between courses a little long. Definitely worth the trip!

Amazing staff, attentive and knowledgeable, let down by the quality of the food. Difficult to discern predominant flavours, and dishes arrived either under-seasoned, or over-seasoned, with no option to correct this, because salt and pepper are not present on the table. When the bill came there was a sneaky addition of a contribution to a charity, without having asked beforehand... More
