A lovely dinner spot with a great welcome and absolutely delicious meals — the lemon grilled chicken and medium-rare steaks are packed with flavor. Server Mary is patient and superb, and the wine list is solid, plus they've added a nice bar since regulars last visited.

Had a girls dinner date and everything was just lovely. Great welcome from the reception and we were seated well. Absolutely delicious meals (I had lemon grilled chicken) and their wine list was superb. The grounds are beautiful and to top it all was the commendable service we got from Dola and Jeff. They absolutely spoilt us.

It was my first time visiting the restaurant and I loved it. My steak was medium rare exactly how I wanted it and it was tender packed with lots of flavor. Compliments to the chef as everyone enjoyed their meals.

It’s been quite a while since I was here. Found some pleasant changes - the bar! The service was just as I remembered it back then - superb! We were served by Mary and she was patient with us and very friendly. The garden can get cold in the evenings but they do have those portable charcoal heaters, just ask for one if you’re cold. I’ll definitely be coming back!

It was a great experience. My friend and I drove by and decided to pop by for drinks after dinner. Arriving there was this hidden gem tropical location. With a pianist giving us a beautiful rhythm and classic jams. Lovely cocktails made by Katanga with his nice personality. We did not have dinner in this beautiful location but definitely will do when next I visit as it was my last day visiting Nairobi. But overall a lovely place to visit. We will be back again.

Good variety of western meals and some local flavors. Broad cocktail menu reasonably strong. Nice variety of seating areas including bars pending your mood. Western style club music was a meh. Parking area with small walk down to restaurant.
