Came here specifically to buy wine and the service was shocking. The prices were good but oooh, please train your staff properly. I nearly walked out empty handed out of sheer frustration.

Lose yourself on a sunny afternoon looking out over vineyards. A well priced wine list with some fantastic food options makes this an regular favorite. Enjoy a pizza from the wood fired oven or one of the daily meal specials in a memorable setting.

Underrated wine experience and wine. Easy drinking wine without cleaning out your Bank account. 😃

My family, friends and I - who were on the Wine Tram - went to this place in error, thinking it was Franshhoeck Cellars, the place we actually wanted to go for lunch. By the time we realized our mistake, we had already ordered, so we stayed. What a huge disappointment! The fact that we were the only ones eating lunch there should have tipped us off. First, the three wines they served us for the wine tasting didnt correspond with the descriptions on the menu. Then they screwed up my order not once but twice. I ended up getting my lunch to take away. The more I walked around the other wine estates with my brown bag lunch, the hangrier I got. Apart from that, they told us they were having a three for the price of two pizza special, so we ordered that. When the bill came, sure enough they charged us for three pizzas. The Wine Tram people felt so bad that they gave me two free bottles of wine. I would have preferred a refund or lunch at Franshhoeck Cellars.

I really enjoyed our visit here! Beautiful scenery and a lovely outdoor but cozy feel. The service we got was fantastic! The pizza was different to what you would expect, but definitely worth it and very tasty. Overall a great experience!

Service a bit slow on a Sunday afternoon, staff were inside chatting more. Hot chocolate was also served cold but the setting is beautiful.

Terrible service. I came from Brackenfell while my friends were already there and ordered thier Pizza. When I arrived the food was still not served. Then waited another 45 mins for that same meal. I ventually went to get it myself as there was 5 complete and 4 more still being made. The waiter gave us a 1 pizza from another table. Initial rounds of drinks was amazing.the second round could not be replicated due to supervisor making the first round and the next guy could not replicate - also waited about 40+ minutes for replacement drinks that never arrived. We drove past so many other places on the advice of another business, but definitely will not go there again.

Dont get me wrong, the view across the valley from here is one of the best you will find. The decor and setting - beautiful. Unfortunately the poor service was just too much. The most attention I got was from Angelo who did the Covid protocols on my arrival. I went there to taste some wine. After 15 minutes and not a sip of the grape past my lips I was almost crying with frustration - please just let me taste some wine! In fairness to the waitress they have a complex range of tasting options.Bottom line (and I may be wrong) but I got the newbie waitress because the more experienced ones were waiting for the wine train which arrived shortly after me with two groups of +- 5 to 8 people each plus some others and the one group seemed to get fairly quick service. Then they mucked up my bill, so another delay. To the proprietors of this establishment - Shame on you for not training your staff and spoiling what should have been a 5 star experience. Even more of a shame because the three wines I did taste werent bad, but too little too late.

You overlook vineyards and the Franschhoek wine route tram does pick ups here as well. They also have some lovely merchandise, especially liked their leather bags. Their wine prices did feel a bit too steep though.

Great little spot at the entrance to Franschhoek. Very modern (with antique decor) wine bar. Laid back atmosphere. Had a delicious Salmon Viglitelle. Cant wait for summer to go and enjoy sundowner on their deck.

We had a terrible experience. Waiters falling over there feet., disorganized no screening, We had to ask for our table to be sanitize as it was sticky. Pizza oily, spring rolls was burnt. We end up not eating our meals, paid our bill and left. We definitely won’t be back.

Good location adjacent to vineyards. Service okay. Pizza was extremely salty and very oily but had reasonable flavour. Also toilet out of service unsigned so wasted 10 minute waiting for facilities despite multiple staff passing.

Perfect for a more down-to-earth but still classy date-night compared to the surrounding restaurantsThe good:-Then menu is well thought out and good bang for your buck-View on the deck with traintrack at your feet and sunset over the mountains with the vinyards inbetween is to-die for.-Wind-shield glass on the deck is thoughtful and helps with the nightly breeze-Secure parking with dedicated security guard-Gorgeous wine selectionCan be improved on:-Cheese on the pizza perhaps too generous (there are much worse things to complain about)

Beaufitul setting under huge trees, providing lots of shade on a sunny day. Nice music! Not their fault, but the noise from the busy road tends to become annoying. BUT, the food and service is terrible. I always wondered why there are hardly people, even during peak season... now I know why. If you just want to relax in a nice setting with good wine though, do visit. But, thats it!

Very commercial. Asked questions about the climate and soil and they hadn’t a clue. They don’t grow their own grapes. It is essentially a pub.
