The team decided to visit the restaurant for dinner recently. Set in the Holiday Inn Express in Umhlanga just off Umhlanga Rocks Drive allows for plenty of parking for guests visiting the restaurant who are not staying in the hotel.
The restaurant has a sister situated in Crowne Plaza Johannesburg, Rosebank. The Umhlanga restaurant is large and spacious with a warm ambience. It has a modern and clean design and caters for a more upmarket meal, family meal or a quick bite to eat.
We found the staff to be warm friendly and attentive. They have a good wine selection for those with a discerning palette. Well known for its main feature on the menu of steak, the group was founded in 2003 as a steakhouse. The menu is full and varied with a great range of starters from chicken livers to the well-known favourite prawn cocktail through to soup; SA stock of boerewors, Mozambican strips chicken or beef, mussels and mushrooms.
The full range of steak types, fillet, rump, sirloin, T-Bone and prime rib are all on offer with various cuts and basted to perfection. Chicken, fish, prawns, calamari, lamb shank, curry. The list is endless and there is certainly something for all tastes and portion sizes.
Side orders vary from the regular chips, onion rings, to vegetables, basmati rice, mashed potatoes and a variety of sauces to perfect your meal.
We ended our superb meal with a decadent dessert, in particular we loved the fridge cheesecake, there is also deep fried oreo, apples crumble to name but a few.
The restaurant offers good value for money with great service and quality food. The setting and space afforded in the restaurant allows a feeling of calmness and diners are not too close to one another. We will definitely return. When we are next in Johannesburg we will certainly visit the Rosebank outlet.
