Ordered 4 pizzas to take away and were thoroughly disappointed with what we got...too much tomato base, really thick dough and just not nice. Better to get cold pizza from a local supermarket and cook yourself. Really disappointed!Dear Valued_Guest12We are saddened to read of your experience.

We went to Lupa to celebrate my birthday. As always the owners were most welcoming and waiters attentive. Yes, you pay a little more but then you are getting much more. I had the langoustine pasta, and others the peppered fillet. Great taste and good portions. Can't wait for our next visit always a good vibe and atmosphere. Thank you so much for your feedback we really appreciate it and it means a lot - I will certainly pass it on to our team - and keep doing what we enjoy doing.

We found VoVo Telo in Umhlanga Rocks last year on a trip to Africa and returned this year. Our friends father lives close by so we stopped into see him. Vovo Telo has the most amazing bread/bakery items i have ever tasted. They use a more dense bread dough even for their croissants and it has an amazing very light sweetness to it. There is a "bar" area for the kids to make their own bread animals with the bakers. Eggs and other breakfast items are some of the best. Love this place. I wish we had one in Reston Virginia!

We stayed over before and enjoyed the food. Staying in proximity we easily made up our minds to return. Enjoyed excellent pizzas while drinking in the area. Sitting outside at dusk may get a little chilly at this time (end March) of the year. However, there is ample seating inside.Thank you for a lovely review Thomas. Hope to see you again soon.

Maybe Tim should think about moving to the new "Circle" centre when it opens! I am sure that some people are put off by Invesco Centre. We had another great meal there. The starter pork belly is just a perfect sized meal if you add a delish portion of veg to it. I always feel happy after spending time there. Also love the comp garlic foccacia - thanks!

We went to Fiamma grill for an early dinner on Sunday with my family and we had an almost perfect evening the waiter was the best until something happened which left us bitterly disappointed there was a gentleman who was wearing a black jacket shouting at the staff about something with little regard that we were there. The staff looked very scared of him. He is arrogant,bossy and lack of leaderships qualities for a family Friendly rastoraunt like Fiamma grill. On consultation we were told that he is one of the managers. We quickly paid our bill and left.Dear CarolThank you for your patronage and time taken in reviewing our store. I have discussed in detail your review with my team and management about your recent situation, which I am humbly apologetic about.We have to be careful when responding to reviews of this nature due to the seriousness of the situation. We are a family business and lead with a motivational managment style, we are a team and work together on achieving success. You and I both know that at times, raising ones voice and seeking justifiable answers is necessary, thus I am sorry that you had to be in the presence of that experience. Aryn, the manager on duty understands his actions and is working very hard on maintaining control and humility in his approach. This being said, we would appeal to you to reconsider about the nature and star rating of our store as it truly negatively impacts our business in a large way. Thus even the servers and kitchen staff feel the ramifications of a 1 star review, as we are a small town with a lot of competition. I hope you can find it in your heart to understand and accept our apologies, as we all need a chance in life.Fabien Durocher-Yvon Owner - Fiamma Grill

Reviewed By MarvBlonde
We read a lot of positive reviews about this restaurant and had been looking forward to an excellent lunch. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted. The food it self was fairly good and came promptly once ordered. We had fish soup and petagonia calamari to start and mains were calamari and prawns. The kids had pizza and calamari. Dessert was good as was the coffee. The service was terrible. Our waitress was always missing. It took time to order and It took time to remove dirty plates off the table. I feel the restaurant could be far more enjoyed with some more professional waitrons. My apologies for the service. Our waiters are well trained.You where at our establishment at the height of season and though we try to maintain our service levels ,at times it slips a bit as there are just so many people.I hope you return some day to try us out under normal circumstances,Trevor

Salad recipesWe ordered a pizza and a Greek salad last night at LCN. Sent the pizza back for a little more cooking as it was a bit soggy, probably from the large amounts of toppings on it, which makes what happened next even more bizarre and surreal. When I was dishing up our salad I noticed a distinct lack of tomatoes and asked Retina, our fabulous waitress if it was possible to get a few more. Roland, the manager came over to say that heâd spoken to the owner and THAT was the way they served their salads. The R84 Greek salad, according to Roland and the official recipe, comprised of a selection of lettuce leaves (I forgot to ask how many), precisely 6 quarters of cherry tomatoes, 6 half slices of cucumber, 6 soggy olives, 4 strips each of red and green peppers, some red onion and 8 cubes (so generous) of feta cheese, and there was nothing he could do to get us any more tomatoes. That was that. We let this sink in for a few minutes, completely flabbergasted at his response before calling him back over. We told him, in no uncertain terms, how badly He had handled the situation and for the price of another 6 quarters of cherry tomatoes, he could have had 2 happy customers. 5 minutes later, he reappeared with a ramekin of cherry tomatoes and told us that he would not be charging us for the salad. He had spoken to the owner again and this is what they had told him to do. Really!?! We never did query the price of the salad, nor were we ever angling for a freebie, but to go through that whole process to try and get 1 ½ extra CHERRY tomatoes (not big whole tomatoes) was just a complete joke and a should be a lesson in restaurant management for young Roland. 20c worth of tomatoes cost you R84 in revenue and 2 happy customers.Thank you for your feedback and for bringing this to our attention. Apologies that this was not dealt with correctly by our manager on duty. Please will you send me your contact details on [email protected]
