We had such a lovely evening at the Bull Run. This restaurant has a lovely atmosphere with all the bells and whistles you would expect from this type of restaurant. The service was excellent and the steaks (I had fillet and vegetables) were soft, tasty and well prepared. We shall definitely visit them again.
Excellent place for carnivores like me.The venue is great in every aspect and the team was very helpful, the quality of the meats are outstanding and very tender, the wine menu is also a plus and contains plenty of good options to enjoy this experience.I recommend it for sure
I loved the interior of the place, leather couches with fire place. The food was delicious but just a little above our budget.
Our server Sydney the most amazing and exceptional service!!!! Sydney knows the menu very well and recommended great wine and food. We’ve eaten at The Bull Run 2 days in a row lunch and dinner they have a lovely warm fire with great ambiance can’t wait to come back.
A good experience. Very fine food
Awesome place. Great atmosphere and food.
Not worth the price and really shocking service. I was excited to try the bull run as I heard there steaks were delicious. It was on the pricey side but for a good steak I was willing to pay the price. Unfortunately a good steak it was not. The flavours and combinations were just okay at best and it was dry and over-cooked. On top of this the service was shocking. The waiter would take half the tables orders and then leave before getting the rest of the orders. He did this a few times which was really bizarre and made it difficult to lock down proper round of drinks so in the end we all only ended up ordering one.The vibe seems lively and I think it has many people coming in for drinks after work so I imagine it gets pretty full on Thursdays and Fridays. So perhaps for cocktails it would be fun. But I wouldnt go here again simply because I dont believe it was worth the price.
I am so terribly disappointed with this restaurant. For the price- I expected a fine dining experience… my boyfriend and I booked for a special occasion. They confirmed our booking through email and text message, however, when we arrived we were told ‘we are filming here sorry, try the Protea’. So we walked to the Protea and were shown to a dark, dingy room and told this is where the Bull Run had put us. I am beyond disgusted.
Great staff and management that has customer service as their first priority.
Recommend the jalapeno steaks. Reasonable prices for meat however all side dishes, veggies etc are pricey. Would go again though.
Fantastic service and large portions, we had burgers and were left fully satisfied. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is because the online booking allowed me to book for 12:00 on Sunday when the restaurant and kitchen only opens at 12:30
Worst steak Ive ever had in my entire life. Same experience by my guests which I took there hoping for good food. Even the steak knife could not cut though the meat - it was that hard. Wont ever try them out again. Such a disappointment - and then I still had to pay for myself and my guests
Even in these crazy times, your staff knows how to make your guests feel special. I truly enjoyed the food (great, as usual) and was sincerely surprised by the warm welcome and really amazing service of your staff. Waiters as well as the butchers in the kitchen (I ordered some ostrich to take back home).Thank you very much and please, pass on my compliments to your kind staff.Erica van Dam
Unfortunately very bad service and no management. The kitchen is also lacking and is not able to cook meat to the correct levels. Could be an amazing restaurant just need more observant staff and management and a kitchen staff that is well trained. Waited almost an hour for food which is awful. How can a steak take an hour when it has a start to finish cook time of about 8 minutes?
Sophisticated place! great service! I specifically remember a waiter called John, he was phenomenal!I really enjoyed the food as well !
The restaurant has good ambience and the food is always well tasty and well presented. The dinner rolls always appetizing, freshly baked. Service never disappoints.
I was a bit disappointed. My food was not what I ordered had to sent it back. I
Loved everything about this place! From the service, the food and the drinks!! Forget signature dishes, I think they have the best Feta in the land!! The moment you step into this place you are handled with the utmost care!! Its a fine dining experience.
Beautifully designed and decorated restaurant. Open-style kitchen and bar. We had a number of great salads as starters and both beef and fish for main. Everything very tastfull .Also an interesting wine card. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Deserts were a disappointment. The brownie was a chocolate cake, and the tiramisu prepared without the marsala wine. Strange. And finally I have to mention that acoustics was a nightmare. Very difficult to have a conversation. Unfortunately. All-in-all a four!
The prices are really high. I know of other places I would take people to and spend the same amount but in a more upmarket establishment. It feels like a noisy pub environment but with semi nice decor. Wouldnt return.
Service initially was very very bad. However, management did address the issues we faced and tried their best to rectify, hence the 3 star. Food was good and if they get their operational issues sorted, it is a good place to go to.
This is my 3rd time dinning in this restaurant. The food OK. Nice presentation, but taste can be improved.As for the service, it was a great experience. Most of the staff were generally friendly. During my 3 times dinning, I was served by Ephraim and Priscilla.. Both were extremely friendly and genuine. They will checked on me periodically to ensure my comfort during the meal. Excellent service provider.
This is an upscale restaurant that has obviously put some effort in.i had a disappointing start to my visit when i was poorly attended to by first one waiter when i walked in, and then another as i seated myself (nobody assisted me to a table). my stay afterwards was however excellent, with fantastic food, great service (polite and fast) and an apology from the manager.not a cheap outing, but recommendable.
Best service from John very humble Gentleman
Great steak. Great service. Other food especially fish, not so great.
Fabolous food, Nice service. Lovely place.
The most unpleasant experience you might have in a restaurant in JHB.Quality of service below any reasonable level, no maitre in the room following the needs of the customer.Menu just dropped at table without anyone explaining or suggesting the dishes.Management extremely poor without no experience, to advice or support the customers.And in general people very rude..Johannesburg is a big city if you can explore other options.Bye
Good food, good service. Friendly staff. Nice vibe.
Delicious food...And the staff is so caring and friendly, loved how they look after all your needs 😊
The atmosphere was great, the food was good though cold had to be sent back to be reheated.
Very good food and service. I recommend this place
Great food at the right price
Even in these uncertain times and the non serving of alcohol, we had an outstanding experience. The food was excellent and the service top notch. Would highly recommend this establishment.
Awesome experience, food was delicious and the ambiance perfect.
Great vibe and food good
A great place with a fabulous menu. The service was slow due to Corona layoffs and too little waiters. But, the food was delicious. Their Portuguese steaks were of the best ever!! Thick, juicy and melt-in-your-mouth type of steaks. Highly recommended
The service was amazing and the food was great. They really made sure that we were comfortable
Thabo is a phenomenal waiter and contributed to an amazing Valentines evening! Food was also out of this world! Well done guys!
We had lunch at the Bull Run, some friends received a regular menu card, I had to scan the menu. Orders were taken in written form. Unfortunately when plates arrived some items were missing (in the salad, side dishes on the main course). Food quality was excellent. When it came to settle the bill, there was a confusion. Some charges were on the bill, but were not offered at lunchtime (see missing items). We asked for a correction. The new bill was wrong again.... We had to ask for a second correction. Service was low standard. Please work on it! (That happened 5 months ago)Today we tried again the restaurant. Unfortunately the service was a catastrophy, we were a party of 9, waited 2 hours to get served for dinner. Even with 3 apologies from the staff I cannot recommend the place. Again not everybody was served at the same time, side orders were missing. Very poor.
Food was really good. Enjoyed the fact that they had volumes for how many times a meal has been ordered.I was a little disappointed that there wasnt a variety for a steakhouse i.e. beef ribs or lamb shank. However my waiter did explain to me that you often change the menu.A suggestion would be to explain what the columns next to the volumes is, couldnt find that in your menu.
Amazing food. Nice vibe! Very friendly environment. Highly recommend it 👌
Great atmosphere, tasty food, friendly staff
High quality food. Cuisine quality is still up there with the best.
Food was awesome and served exactly as order. Service also very good as well as portion sizes, would highly recommend.
The most amazing food and staff. My daughters favorite restaurant 😊
Excellent service and good food
Good service and well placed right next to the JSE. Extensive menu and wine selection. Not too crowded also.
Stylish and also bullish for a great meal.
Amazing place and ambiance! Loved the bar, food, wine and service!
Exceptional service and delicious food! Kingklip prepared to perfection!
Delicious food
We were no attend to and they never even noticed that we have left the restaurant......
Friendly service and good vibes. The food was nice as well
The best steak I have had in a long time.The value for money on the special was incredible, however the normal menu prices are really reasonable considering the location and quality.Service was average - our waiter disappeared a few times and we were kept waiting.The restaurant owner/manager was really friendly and helpful.Overall I would definitely go back.
Had some fish and chips was tasty but the service was slow.
Ive just had one of the best sirloin steaks of my life. Served by a real pro waiter Somandla
Good service
Exotic food
