This was really a mistake. Because friends of mine had dined here before and liked it, they took me here too. But something had changed... we were served by complete nitwits (they managed to take the order of the person we had been waiting for, for half an hour and served her the main course without ever having taken our orders! Someone asked: could I have a cocktail? the waiter went and came back with a glass of juice... She asked What's this? "...cocktail" he replied and went off)But most of all: I got such a severe food poisoning! Bbeen ill for a week!

We visited the yacht club several times last week as guests of our family and we never got fed up with the views across the lake, the stunning sunsets and the lovely cool breeze.The food was excellent, the butterfish and the chicken saag get special mentions.The ice cold Tusker lager was brilliant and to cap it all, one night there were two hippos grazing in the garden, (I did see them before drinking, honest!).That's something that you will never see in an English pub beer garden!

The terrace is nice, the bar is solid, has a nice view over kisumu. The stuff is polite and the music good. All that would make the place wonderul but the food was so disapointing that ruined the whole mood. I ordered the fish. That's how they call it actually, fish fillet with fancy described sauce and chips. What i got was mostly not so well fried chips (yes, it's possible) few in number and on top of them, barely visible, a small slice of fish. Tiny. With a bit of cold sauce in the same color as the fries, something yellowish, on top. My friends meal looked more appealin, but tiny portion as well. They should be ashamed to present dishes like that, for a price that is high for kenya standards. Sorry not even close to recommended for food. Go for a beer, I wouldn't trust them for coctails either.

We booked this hotel for a night just to get a feel of it since its the new baby in town. What we got at the reception, not good service she was in a hurry and summarized what we need to know in a minute, breakfast was not as good. I generally didn't like the hotel. it has got so much attention that they take their customers for granted. Definitely not coming back again

We visited the restaurant with our 2 daughters (10 and 7) for lunch. The food was AMAZING! We got to meet the owner who explained how they make some of the dishes. The waitress was very sweet and prompt. Overall an outstanding experience. We hope to come back soon.
