Our first time at Room 81, recommended to us by friends from Melbourne. We chose the degustation menu with matching wines on friday evening. My husband and I sat outside on the terrace and enjoyed the sunset, with a glass of champagne. Be sure to come in early for this great atmosphere, the tasting menu also takes a few hours so this worked out well. The bread was a semolina, grain and seed with its chewy crust. 'Very good'. We had a second serve, this was also complementary. The use of flavours and textures the newly appointed chef creates with his team are simply amazing. He came out and welcomed us and later sent us a complementary mid course. The scallop ceviche with horseradish snow was served over a chilled smoking bowl of dry ice. Visually spectacular and the taste sublime. The service is quick, friendly and professional whilst not being intrusive. Each course is given a brief explanation with a different wine pairing. Apart from a noisy group of men that arrived later in the evening the night was perfect. Value for money is good, we would recommend this restaurant to couples looking for quality. We will be back.

We have had several meals there and enjoyed the experience so much. The food is world class and the service from the staff exceptional. Would like to make special mention of Sally van der Merwe. She is very efficient and welcoming.
