The food and service was great. Everyone was happy with their meals and the steaks were all referred to as "melt in the mouth" good. Would be going back again and will definitely recommend.

Cattle Baron has been at the forefront of all things steak and creamed spinach since I can remember. And they are still just as renowned and valued as they were back in the nineties.
Now it takes a lot to maintain such a good reputation and Cattle Baron succeeds in providing you with not only a high quality meal, but an enjoyable experience. 

Upon arrival we were greeted by literally every staff member, so you feel welcome immediately. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and had a good sense of humour, something you don’t see every day.

Their menu is extensive, to say the least, but we were in the mood for steak. And seeing that this is Cattle Baron, having a steak is kind of obvious. I had the 300g rump, rare, with chips and my boyfriend had the 300g sirloin, medium-rare, also with chips. Aside from the warm bread for appetizers, you get the best creamed spinach and mashed butternut as a side dish to your meal. I honestly don’t know what I love more, their steak or the spinach; it’s truly devine.

Our food arrived in a flash, and both our steaks were perfectly cooked. Their basting was just a little too salty for my taste (even though I love my salt), but the flavourful meat was juicy, tender, and of great quality. Their chips were super tasty, even better than I can remember. The only downside was that our waitress didn’t bring us the tomato sauce we requested, but someone else eventually brought us some. The steak knife was also placed on the plate, resulting in basting covering the handle. It’s a tiny thing, but it can be avoided by placing the knife on the table beforehand.

The meal was filling and satisfying. But of course we craved something sweet. We shared the chocolate mousse with ice cream and it was the perfect end to a delicious meal.

Cattle Baron is pricey, but it’s totally worth it. Their food, service, ambiance and overall experience is worth every penny. Plus, they don’t charge corkage, so be sure to take your own bottle of wine. I’ll be doing that next time.

First time eating at cattle baron and I obviously had to get steak, sirloin to be precise. Cooked to perfection (medium well), succulent and crisp chips. Seated outside by the pool with the lovely sunshine. The inside is very lovely too, the decor makes the venue feel like you are in a somewhat fancy restaurant. Our waitress was great too and attentive. Will definitely visit again soon!

Have not been to a cattle baron in years, so when a friend said we should go there, I was excited to try them again after so long.  This Cattle Baron's service is exceptional!!  The moment we walked in, we were greeted with sooo many friendly faces, every single person we walked past on our way to the table, greeted us and welcomed us.

The wine list is impeccable, with so many options to choose from, I honestly believe every person out there should be able to find at least one wine they like.  Service was amazing, and the waiter was very attentive.  We were a party of 6 and everyone was extremely happy with their meals.  I had the blackened pepper steak and that was amazing, the brandy getting poured over the steak in front of you is an added bonus and such a delight (love the attention to detail).  

Their meat is absolutely wonderful and so fresh.  I would most definitely be back!!

On the 29th of March 2017. Once again another great night with the perfect steak and great service! This is my ultimate favourite restaurant ever!! Sirloin nevada was rare like I asked for it to be. My starter was crumbed mushroom and it was delicious and Juicy in the inside and nice and crispy on the outside. And the my desert was a chocolate fondant, it could've been more saucier in the inside, but was still delicious. I am really impressed with the great service and great quality of food. Best Cattle Baron ever. :)

Incredible service, a memorable cozy yet spacious atmosphere and food worthy of praise. This is a must-visit for all steak lovers, though I can vouch for their chicken dishes as well. The starters keep me coming back and always look too good to eat. Really a place to try out at least once. Beautiful view from the tables at sunset too.

I've visited twice. Once as a guest of a biggish party and once with the family. Even though you're not going to have your mind blown, you're going to have proper steak, done like it should. Other items on the menu are strictly there for those who got lost on the way somewhere else.
Have the steak... it's good.

Suprizingly elegant and sophisticated, warm and cozy atmosphere. Great service, delicious food! Started with creamy cheese stuffed mushrooms and deep fried calamari steak strips with tartare dip - super delicious. Main course we had the bacon, avo, cheese burger with chips and mushroom sauce; chicken parmesan with creamy mash; and chicken breasts on a bed of sweet and tangy cranberry sauce topped with camembert. All washed down with a bottle of Baronne. Great night for dinner, food just took a little too long to get to the table. All in all, great recommendation for family dinner and I suspect Sunday lunch will be as good.

New restaurant! The Cattle Baron is a very good choice for meat. This stake house is probably even better than hussar's grill. It has a beautiful setting, with a lot of customer's capacity. Great service as well!

The setting is elegant and comfortable, service is friendly and efficient and the food is amazing . I think the carpet bagger steak I had here may have changed my life.

Had a wonderful experience! Sat at the FatCatz lounge for some cocktails and burgers from their snack menu. Absolutely fantastic. Great views and good music. Not often i lunch at the same venue two days in a row. And for the price on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays ( half price cocktails ) worth it!!

Entrance to restaurant needs serious upgrade. With such a great view, windows need to be cleaned. Atmosphere very mediocre and can be improved. Accompany visitors to table. Service slow, even with many tables unoccupied. Food good, but presentation bland. Some wines on list not available.

Our wators name was Keith who gave us excellent service well mannered and very friendly honestly the restaurant needs more people like Keith as when Keith shift was finished we waited over half an hour before we got served again yet had about 2-3 wators walk past our table. Honestly the restaurant is lovely beautiful view drinks were great the calamari was abit over cooked but either than that it was great. Really believe that Keith deserves higher recognition for his great service.
