This restaurant is based in an amazing location. The setting is really beautiful for business lunches. The food tastes amazing with good portion sizes that allow you to have a three course meal without feeling bloated. The pricing on the food does not reflect the portion size at all, pricing is rather linked to the quality of food.What i did not like was the wait. At times i requested another drink to pass time while waiting for the food but the drink took just as long. I would often remind the waiter thinking he either forgot or didnt hear me but he did. Please work on this. I was there with 7 other people who each had a three course meal and unlimited drinks so it could not have been that we didnt order enough food/drinks to warrant some attention. The waiting of the food as well is too long with little communication. I think the fact thay our waiter was MIA played a significant role on this.Covid protocols were adhered to. Wee sat outside so thay we can try sit without our masks on. It was windy but nothing that the restaurant could have done.

This place is so beautiful and tranquil. So loved the live music and the atmosphere but the service is so poor. We got there and an hour later we still had not received any drinks. Since the waiter brought only water. The waiter comes back after a very long time and does not check up on you. Our food also came hours later and the past was not nice at all. I was so disappointed because I actually like this place

What a beautiful, luxurious hotel. The staff is exceptionally great, friendly, accomodating and they go the extra mile for their guests. I cant say enough great things about Riboville, it is definitely worth a visit. Stunning setting and location on the polo fields with the dam and swans swimming right in front of your room. Great room service as well. They truly went the extra mile for us and I cant thank them enough.

I had a hearty portion of a delicious chicken salad. Definitely got my money’s worth.The atmosphere is delightfully tranquil with an amazing view of the golf course.Service, however, was not good. Waiters were slow and often forgot for things we asked for so don’t go there if you have no patience!

Love the ambiance of the Riboville restaurant. The 1st time i visited the restaurant was in 2012 and i was on crutches following a horse ridding accident. I was on crutches and when i walked in i saw saddles and horses and I was reminded of my fall. Little did i know that the dinning experience would be memorable. Years later i came back but the chef had been changed and i thought I would never come back because the meals were not to our pellet. Until last week when we had dinner with family and ohhh my gosh the food was to die for. I went back with my friends to celebrate a birthday because the current chef is amazing. Thank you chef 🍽... compliments to you 🥂

It is the sushi for me. I would travel sea, sky and railway for Sushi from Riboville.Looking over beautiful equestrian grounds Riboville serves you some of the most innovative and delicious sushi you will find. From Tigers Eye, Crab claw and Sashimi I will always only order the sushi.The setting is always perfect even though service could do with some work the Sushi will have us coming back. You have to try it!

The food is amazing. Hidden in Waterfall in Midrand. Unfortunately they dont follow client instructions. Had an event and they couldnt give us a microphone after it had been arranged prior so the emcee had to shout across the huge room

I absolutely love Riboville, their food and presentation is always impeccable but unfortunately this time around the experience was beyond horrible. We booked a table in advance and when we arrived, the booked table was not available and we were offered a random table. To make matters worse we had a waiter from hell, who very little regard for us as patrons. We did not receive the high standard of service that we deserved, possible because he had done his math and figured we were the none tipping customers which was highly unfortunate.What was meant to be a great sisterhood luncheon was beyond disappointing.

Had a great breakfast (al a carte), awesome, relaxed setting in middle of week. Highly recommend the Croisants, (not so much the omelette - presentation bland; although partner declined mushrooms and tomatoes. Also a great place for a Sundowner after a hectic day. Away from, yet in the midst of, the hustle and bustle of Jhb!

Food excellent, however disappointed with a few things. Despite reporting coffee machine in room was not working and them replacing it, the machine still did not work. For a boutique hotel it is sad to see the condition of the furniture in the room, the plugs in Bath and basins were not operational. Additional disappointment was the condition of the swimming pool. Somewhat disappointing for a once stunning boutique hotel.

If you are concerned about Covid, please avoid going to the restaurant. The waiters have thier lose masks below thier nose and passing the kitchen, I could see chefs with no masks at all. So much for Covid prevention.

Comment is on the restaurant side... Googled Midrand 5star restaurant and Riboville popped up. On a Sunday morning I decided to go for brunch... OMG. I was asked to seat and wait while they check on available tables.. 20 mins later I got seated... just I seat waiter asks me what I’m gona have.. (though I had to be presented the menu in order to choose) I asked for the menu only to arrive after anothe 20mins +... I ordered and asked how long the food will take (overpriced Seabass).. was told only 5mins... now another 20+ mins later.. I am still waiting for the food & really lost my appetite. I would not go there again. What a bad experience for such a once was excellent restaurant (judging from the old comments). Ooh not to mention the noice.. yeses! High level of disappointment.
