Food was mediocre. Someone on our table received spoiled prawns. The sushi was also not the freshest. Staff are clumsy and have no customer service ethics. Would not recommend.

A place with tons of potential, but lacking in far too many things. The food was good but not great, unless you like lots of oil in your breakfast. When we arrived we wanted the breakfast buffet as advertised on the menu and on the website we were told that they do not have it anymore. So we ordered our food and got amazing service from our waiter but the speed from the kitchen was a bit slow. The kiddies play area is quite well equipped and in an area that makes it easy to keep an eye on things. Overall, great place for kids and adults that like aeroplanes. The service was great and the waiters were friendly. The lack of the advertised buffet was a dissapointing but the price of the normal breakfasts was very reasonable.

Learning that this is at the airport thrilled me then I wondered how I will be able to concentrate with all the noise of Airplanes taking off and landing. But I was blown away when that wasnt the real experience (well except because I was there on a Saturday), I felt better having to look at the small planes parked neatly, on enquiry I was told the airport is for trainee pilots. Harvard cafe interestingly got very budget event venues and great meals. We had buffet brunch and that came was simply nice. Staff were fairly friendly, but caught staring at us lots of times. You know why? Because we were a group of beautiful people living with Vitiligo and there to mark our day 😍💜

Great setting and lovely atmosphere. The steaks were delicious and so were the accompying sides. My prawns were a bit cold but tasted delicious. Both the food and drinks menu have a lot to offer.

Food is really not good and over priced. A few pieces of meat with no flavour in a wrap with some jalapeños is most certainly not worth R95.

Great service today. Amazing food. My husbands eisbein arrived and told the waitron he was unhappy as it was quite small and within 10 minutes there was another one on his plate. Lovely facilities for kids eg painting, toys for sale and play area. Great live music. All the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating.

At very short notice, Harvard Cafe, namely Peter, arranged a memorial tea for 16 people. The food was excellent, filling, tastefully arranged and professionally presented. The service was quietly constant and politely maintained. Thank you for turning what could have been a sad and somber time, into a joyous celebration of a precious life.

Nice view of the airstrip and small airplanes.Food is generally really good but the Seafood platter was a let down and lacked flavour.Major issue are the flies! No matter where you sit, as soon as you get your food, flies are all around you.

First visit there and had a burger. Unfortunately, the patty was small and a little dry.The chips were dry.The bread roll seemed to be more than a day old, sprinkled with water and then reheated again, to serve....Overall, the meal was a waste of money and not even served hot.

Lovely relaxing restaurant tucked away at Grand Central Airport. Facing onto the planes parked along the fence, it is a place to get together with friends and catch up. Food is great. Live music was just the right vibe to further relax you. Ill definitely be back!
