Awesome experience. Best steak and chips I’ve had in a long time. Atmosphere is very inviting and the service friendly and efficient. One of a few restaurants that adheres to 50% capacity guidelines.

I had a lovely time here! From walking in and encountering the friendly hostess, to my waitress & bartenders, everyone was so friendly and helpful. The restaurant is clean & has a calm, not-over-the-top vibe. Decor looks great & the ladies room is so sexy & smells heavenly!I had the mignonette oysters as a starter, my first oysters ever! Enjoyed them sooooo much! Had the Porchetta main as recommended by my waitress, I found the pork belly a bit on the tough side but it wasnt so bad. The bean salad it came with was delicious though. Their cocktails are potent & well worth their price. Cant wait to return!!! 100 out of 10 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Convenient location in Rosebank Mall. Modern, warm and appealing atmosphere and a great overall vibe. Food is delicious, a bit pricey but well worth it. Service was friendly and accommodating, our waiter Thabo was so patient with our table.

Sat at the bar, the experience was as great as when I had sat at the tables. The Moroccan chicken and pelepele chicken were succulent and tasty, so was the porchetta. Plates stayed hot throughout the sitting. The cheesecake was also delicious

From quick responses when booking a reservation to actual staff who works at the restaurant- the service was spectacular. Food was good and great selections of wines. I enjoyed my lunch at Proud Mary, and will definitely go back

What a good time...from the service to the food everything was FABULOUS. I was shocked at how speedily our meal arrived. The menu is good, not too many options. The wine list is great and the atmosphere was so cozy, I did not want to leave. I will definitely return.

Lovely decor and ambience, our waitress was so fantastic, such a pleasant lady. I enjoyed my meal. I had the muscles, they just came with these awful super skinny fries that did nothing for the dish. Fresh ciabata would have done the trick. The person I was with had the Moroccan chicken and loved it. I would definitely go back.I have been back a few times since, unfortunately my initial experience was a once off because the service has been awful since. Even the manager was rude.

Saw an article about this place being the best new girl in town. Went on to read reviews and I honestly wasnt impressed. Finally used it as a back up plan when the weather didnt allow Husbs and I to go on our outdoor adventure. I must say, I was IMPRESSED. I had a burger, Husbs had pasta and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The service was also so efficient. I honestly cant fault anything. Great joint ✅

We got off to a rocky start with a bit of a delay on our food, but we got a reasonable explanation from the manager. And the food more than made up for the wait. I ordered lots of things because Im greedy, and everything was outstanding. This place is really good with chicken - the Moroccan chicken was a real highlight. There is great attention to detail and there were very subtle flavours in each dish we tried. The restaurant was packed and I can understand why. My wife loved her cocktail, we both loved everything we ate and I cant wait to be back.

Very beautiful restaurant that feels like the epitome of Rosebank, of Joburg wealth and luxury.Their covered outside seating is perfect for a warm summer night or a mild winters eve.The servers are friendly and well versed in the ins and outs of the menu. The salmon is melt in the mouth and the pairing with apple may seem unconventional but is perfect. The price and portion are slightly misaligned but it left room for dessert. Dessert is a must at Proud Mary. I had the malva which was heaven and my friend had the cheesecake which looked better than anything on masterchef.I cant wait to go back but my bank account might not agree.

Great ambience, tastefully decorated. Menu lacks a little on the vegetarian menu. Steak was well done bit a bit underwhelming in taste. Friend ordered the salmon. Was very well done. Dessert was divine. Drinks were great. You definitely need to book ur table in advance. A great chill spot.

This is the probably the best restaurant in Johannesburg at present. The food is delicious. The service was impeccable.To top it all off, the decor and ambiance are absolutely exquisite. When you step in to the restaurant, you immediately feel as though you have been whisked off in to another world.We had the crispy calamari and pork belly as starters. They were both absolutely delicious. The garlic aioli complimented the calamari brilliantly. The pork belly was so tender that it literally melts in your mouth.For mains we had the waygu burger and rib eye steak. They were both served with delicious triple fries french fries. The steak was accompanied by a delicious chimichurri.The peanut butter gelato that is served with the chocolate dessert is simply the best we have ever tasted.A thoroughly enjoyable Sunday lunch. It is an expensive affair but definitely worth it! We will be back.

Review №22

Amazing decor. Friendly staff.However as all new restaurants have problems - took a little while for drinks to arrive. The starters were fantastic but the mains took a while to arrive. The snubnose fish was brilliant however it is more food than for two people.Will definitely come back!

Review №23

Beautiful decor and vibe. Awesome food, the caesar salad was amazing, but this was since removed from the menu. The pork bell was to die for!! Well done! I had the chocolate mousse dessert, that was recommended - i was not a big fan of it, but I don’t like mousse in general so I will try something else next time for dessert. Service was very good and friendly and fast. Plenty of options, but not too much. Thanks for a great experience.

We tried a nice variety of dishes and drinks with a family of 4. Drinks: non alcoholic Botanica cocktail was like a special lemonade (a bit like cucumber sprite actually).One person liked and the other not so much. I didn’t taste much of a gin (nonalcoholic gin) taste but fun to try. Husband said the Moscow mule was much better than he usually gets in South Africa (we’ve seen some strange additions like bitters). I tried an orange wine for the first time. Interesting. Food: we tried two veggie small plates— the broccoli which no one really liked as it had some strange honey tasting sweetness to it and the aubergine and labneh. Those are not worth the money in my opinion. Very small with nothing to wipe the labneh sauce up with though they looked pretty. Mains:my steak with mushrooms was fantastic. I asked about sides (ordered separately) so I added on a salad but honestly the steak with the mushrooms is absolutely enough. The side salad tasted like a lemony bite of spring with a lot of alt greens. Not your usual Italian or iceberg lettuce mix. Two tried the falafel salad. Best falafel we’ve had in SA. Very fluffy. For me the whole plate was a little carb heavy as it also had beet humus and bulgur wheat as a base but the Beet hummus was amazing. Hubs added on the chicken in the small plates to his falafel salad and it was nice and spicy. One person had the Aubergine salad and really enjoyed it. That one is very very light so be aware. It wasNot filling but was tasty. Service was ok. Table for 4 had very little room for 4 mains with drinks. Too much stuff on the middle of the table. We didn’t try any desserts but we sat next to the coffee cafe and they had cookies literally the size of your head. This is a splurge restaurant so be prepared.

Went when it opened and it was great but the next two times I went out was not great at all. Started really good but since its gained popularity the quality of the food has gone down, the menu has even been changed and the price is not feasible anymore. But if you want a cute Instagram pic its cool.

Amazing service, food is well presented, an amazing looking bar and beautiful decor but there are clearly still a couple of things that can be improved. My linguini were drowning in oil.Note, the takeaway containers dont seem to be microwave safe. Mine melted in the microwave.

Super trendy new spot, I didn’t expect it to be in Rosebank mall but it really doesn’t feel like you’re in a mall at all!The decor is superb, and the service was excellent. Also quite a nice selection of cocktails and wine on offer.The food was great overall (just a few bumps here and there), and we’ll definitely be back to try more on the menu!• Coal Roasted Broccoli - surprisingly the best dish of the night. That sauce is drool-worthy 🤤• Seabass Ceviche - not the best ceviche I’ve had but still pretty good.• Pea and Goat’s Cheese Risotto - rich, creamy and delicious! Would be difficult to finish a whole bowl because of its richness so probably best ordered to share.• Porchetta - tasty flavours, though I thought the pork could have been a bit more tender and the butter beans were a bit too basic for the overall dish. Would have preferred a more exciting and delicious side to accompany it.• Morrocan Chicken - the chicken had great flavour, but the starch bulgur pilaf was just ok.

A fairly new spot in Rosebank. Great ambience and lovely decor with spacious floor area. I went on a weekday afternoon and it was quiet, it does seem to be a trendy and vibey place to be. The service was ok. The food was good, the Moroccan chicken being the star of the show for me, the waygu burger could have used some seasoning and was a bit disappointing flavour wise. I’d like to go back for their breakfast menu.

Amazing dining experience. Its really rare to find such excellent service - I can only count a handful of places and this is one of them. Waygu Burger tastes phenomanel - defintely in my top 2 ever. Milli Vanilli has an unconventional tatste that invites all your taste buds to the fore.

I have frequented Proud Mary, partly due to me working in the same building.Before I speak to food, what great decor and ambience this place has an any time of the day.The staff are friendly and helpful. They go the extra mile!When its super busy, you may wait a little longer than usual, but thats if Im being finicky.Their salads (chicken thigh one and the wagyu beef) are honestly to die for! (And Im not a salad girl in the least)The only one I dislike is the Falafels and Taboulleh salad and thats only because of the shredded cauliflower.My absolute fave is the prawn/fishcakes with the mango salad.Small Plates:Sticky pork belly is out of this world good and hits the spot.Im disappointed that they removed their crispy calamari from the small plates menu! That was a true hit. Instead there is the grilled calamari that has very similar garnishes to potatoe bravas (comfort food).The salmon sashimi was a let down, the yuzu and the sauce that accompanied it, did nothing to elevate the amazing pieces of sashimi. It felt like it was trying to combine two different ideas into one (like an Asian cerviche, with no standout flavours)Mains:The ribeye is great and sure to satisfy.The mussels in the coconut curry sauce with skinny fries is my favorite! Its fresh, plentiful and heart warming. Super satisfying.Dessert:A BIG KUDOS to the pastry chefs, I have a terrible sweet tooth and every time I run down for coffee, they have the most delicious sweets. The pasties de nata ;) Best gourmet donuts and steaming hot (not the typically served lukewarm) coffee 👌🏽Ill be back to try everything on the menu, because its different to all the other eateries out there. Refreshing and something for everyone.Their fish is top notch quality. Im looking forward to eating more of their fish dishes.

Grabbed breakfast here on Saturday morning. Good, relatively busy vibe. Food and coffee were both great but their service was a let down. Floor staff need to be trained in ensuring their areas are serviced well and that they’re visible - it’s no joke trying to get the attention of your waiter for 10 minutes when getting the bill.

Lovely ambience, a nice selection of vegan options on the menu and great staff (although they could perhaps pay more attention to detail eg make sure that you get the toast that you ordered before bringing the dish out to you). (As a side note, when I tried to make a booking on Dineplan two days before, it was fully booked. I went along anyway, and got a nice table outdoors.)
