This was my first visit to The Boss and I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and ambient atmosphere. Brenda our waitress was wonderful and friendly and just added to the vibe. The food was very good. 👍The only negative is that the decor is a bit dated and in need of a little upgrade. On the whole we had a lovely family dinner and thank you to The Boss. Will definitely be back some time

I did not get a Portuguese feel from the menu, but it is an upper class steakhouse and the execution didn't disappoint. I struggled to choose between mains, but my rump with bacon & blue cheese sauce was perfect, as well my wife's calamari & prawns. Because I struggled to make a choice, I'm compelled to return and test the other choice (trinchado, calamari & Chorizo)

Friendly service from Musi
The prawn and chicken special was very well priced and extremely tasty
Food was quick as well
One of our guests had the Big Boss Kingklip which was extremely juice and saucy to everyones liking.

Will visit again and try the sunday buffet

Went there for lunch over the weekend, had their steak and it was really really good. The bread we received before our meal came straight out of the oven. They had relaxing music playing in the background and the restaurant itself feels very cosy. I really enjoyed it there and im definitely going back.

Went for date night dinner last night. Had the seafood platter for 2. The food was presented beautifully (other tables came to see what we got 😄) and was delicious!! Be sure to ask for some of the homade peri-peri - yumyum. Couple of minor wrong orders (eg rice instead of veg) which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5; these were corrected promptly and with no quibbling. The live music started at 8pm - we were seated furthest from it so had no issues with loudness - we even sang along 😄
Really great place - will definitely become a regular for us.

Although the food is excellent, the price is very reasonable. Steak was fantastic. Chicken dishes were great. Side veggies were fresh and delicious. All-round pleasant experience. I will be back soon to sample the seafood portion of the menu.

This was my third visit to the restaurant one being a birthday dinner, then having purchased a voucher and this Sunday for the mothers day buffet, On all occasions it was absolutely well worth it and the food was up to standard, The food ordered came as we expected , and the waiter was attentive and actually remembered us from previous visits. The managers were very attentive and always asked if we were still fine or needed anything, And being a buffet this Sunday, they made sure to check that the dishes were always topped up when needed. The food was lovely and compliments to the chef, very well done.

My wife and I decided too go out for dinner. Right next to Adega’s was the boss. A friendly waiter told us about their specials and we changed our mind and gave it a try.

The place really looked wonderful and had a dinner/dance type of vibe. Menu was packed with a huge variety of dishes and this made me worry just a little.

We ordered the creamy garlic snails for starters and this was really good. For mains we ordered The Boss Kingklip and Oxtail. Both dishes were really good and even though the kingklip was R229 I felt that it was a sizable portion and well worth the money.

The service from the waiter was on point and attentive. He didn’t hover about and he looked after us really well.

There is a downside too this place however.....their “live” entertainment. Some women with a microphone and backtracks from her phone doesn’t sit well with me.

Would I come back......for the food and service.....

A lovely, spacious restaurant with a classy feel and large dance floor!

The food is delicious. I had a steak with veggies and chips, done perfectly to my liking. Our waiter was warm, friendly, and on the ball! The house red wine is also great. The managers on duty were attentive and professional. The live entertainment on Valentine's day was such a treat! I'll definitely be back!

Great service, well spoken and attentive waiter. Food was delicious. Even on a very busy night with a full house food did not take to long. Really nothing to fault �

I bought a voucher and then looked on Zomato and was expecting the worst.  What a surprise!  We went for a hugely busy lunch day (15/12) but service was good and food perfectly prepared - from a rare fillet to a welldone steak for my Phillistine colleague :-)  Not fine dining but nothing to complain about.  Thorougly enjoyed.

We had a lovely experience at The Boss on Tuesday evening! 
Since we moved to Randburg, and being fanatic foodies ourselves, we have been on a mission to try out all the restaurants in the area and give our views. The Boss definitely did not disappoint!

Although quiet (given it was Tuesday and in the middle of the month), the ambiance was cozy, a great selection of soft soothing music in the background, and even though this is considered fine dining, we felt comfortable taking our 4-year old with (by the way, he LOVED the kiddies spaghetti bolognaise...not at all 'sour' as tomato-based dishes sometimes tend to be.)

Also, our waitress did a great job (thank you Megan), and her advice was spot-on.

Our food was of course awesome:
For starters, we had the gongonzola snails. It was REALLY good and not at all overpowering (as some blue cheese sauces tend to be). The mussels too were perfectly done.

Mains: The oxtail was soft as a baby's cheek and falling off the bone. The Big Boss rump steak and ladies fillet was perfectly medium-grilled, and the Eisbein was soft, juicy and the crackling that came with it was a winner. Compliments to the chef!

For dessert there was malva pudding (freshly made and not out of prepacked bowls) and a THICK homemade custard. The peppermint crisp tart was good too and not all like the 'instant-pudding' version some restaurants serve.

Overall we had a great experience and will definitely return with more friends in the near future.

We went on a quiet Friday lunchtime for the advertised lobster specials. When we arrived the power was off and the place was in darkness and empty ! However they were more then happy to accommodate us and as luck would have it the power came back on within 10 minutes.
The food was top notch. Huge lobster thermidor and a lobster thermidor/calamari combo were on special and cooked perfectly. Chicken and rib combo was also great.
I've seen a couple of bad reviews for the Boss but our experience was great. We will be back, probably for the Sunday buffet. Great service from Brenda too.

Very nice place, friendly staff, food was good, I enjoyed the lamb shank, our concern about the desert was properly addressed by management giving us a very good experience at the restaurant, I would recommend this place to everyone. There is also a kids play area so the kids were occupied

The staff was super friendly and courteous. Very classy vibe and the food was delicious. Prawns and shrimps were very tasty. I liked the spices added to all the food, especially the chips and chicken, which was cooked superbly soft. I was not disappointed when the dessert menu was presented as a tray with samples of what could be selected for dessert, that's just me though. Some people might like that form of menu

It's a nice huge restaurant that needs people to bring it to life. The food ordered was great! The oysters were huge for a great price. The wine selection was very acceptable but the staff were just awesome! Live music I guess on Fridays and Saturdays. Would return.

It's a nice family restaurant, kids play in the kids area, chilled live music (there was a skilled guitarist on the night), food is good quality, Portuguese flavoured grills are good. Friendly waitors, good service, they didn't have what we ordered so they made up for it by giving us free desert. Definitely one of our family's favourite.

Awesome place, great vibe and the live entertainment was amazing. Had the lamb chops wasn't the most amazing. . Meat was tough sadly. . Then I had the bar one cake which was presented beautifully but was stale having been refrigerated. Still a great night out though.

Awesome place for the family. Has a kids section as well. Only fault I found was needs proper air-conditioning unit. Food is amazing, was my third time back and this time brought the whole family. Their service was on point as well since we were such a large group they had two waiters attend to us.
