Great post. We as South Africans have a looong way to go when it comes to service, although Europe and the States arent shinig examples either. 2010 is coming quicker than we think and the restaurant industry had better buck their standards up, especially the high end market.

I agree with you completely and while most of these places are not at the point where they constantly check the blogosphere to see what is being said about them, at least other bloggers take note and avoid these sorts of places …

I couldnt agree with the post more. If restaurants are going to charge a premium, the service must be premium. Whats more is that restaurants in Cape town seem to love charging exorbitant prices for wine…especially considering that the majority of retaurants actually charge wineries to serve their wine in that establishment!! Consider that a bottle of Alto Rouge costs on average R45 and at Primi Piatti they charge a ridiculous R125 for a bottle!!
Taking your own bottle of vino, where at least you have an option of taking a fine wine and not settling for menu options, seems to be the way forward. That is unless you identify which restaurants have got the balance right and offer fine, good value dining.
If you wish to support this belief and join a new vintage of wine lovers, then visit http://thecrusa.blogspot.com/.

Thanks for the heads up. Off my list too.
I hate places that have that snooty attitude. I am sure if you’d arrived in your helicopter they probably would have been all, “Of course we have your booking Sir. Let me just remove these very ordinary looking middle class nobodies from their table. May we offer you a pre-dinner BJ to go with that aperitif? Hand job?”
Pretentious poncy types. Hate ‘em.
