Review Eikendal - Stellenbosch

Decided to take the family for dinner on Sunday night. Hubby and I had pasta and my daughter a pizza. The food was hot and delicious. Pricing is affordable. Service was a bit slow, but was understandable as they were quite busy. Would definitely go back.

Seafood restaurants offer a unique dining experience that combines the delectable flavors of the ocean with a captivating atmosphere and impeccable service. These establishments are not just places to satisfy one's culinary cravings; they are havens for seafood enthusiasts seeking an unforgettable gastronomic journey. The moment you step into a seafood restaurant, you are enveloped by a distinctive ambiance. The decor often mirrors the maritime world, with nautical elements such as fishnets, anchors, and seashells adorning the walls. The soothing sound of waves or soft, maritime tunes in the background transport diners to the heart of the sea. Large windows overlooking the water, or fish tanks showcasing live seafood, add to the immersive experience. Service in seafood restaurants is a testament to excellence. The staff is knowledgeable about the intricacies of the menu, helping patrons choose the perfect seafood dish. Whether it's succulent lobster, delicate scallops, or classic fish and chips, the service is tailored to meet individual preferences. Timeliness is key, as the freshness of seafood is paramount. Well-trained waitstaff ensure that dishes arrive hot and flavorful. Moreover, the attention to detail in seafood restaurants extends to dietary restrictions, offering a variety of options for those with special dietary needs. The fusion of impeccable service and a mesmerizing maritime atmosphere elevates the dining experience, making seafood restaurants a preferred choice for those who seek a taste of the ocean's finest, served with utmost care and flair.

Brilliant Food, Service and vibe. Warm & chill. The Manager, Mandla & his Team are excellent in every way - worth way more than 5 stars. Best way to spend a Sunday evening.

Incredible value for money. Wonderful Italian food. Generous portions. Had a Mikes Special and it was loaded with seafood. Pasta cooked to perfection. My new favorite Italian restaurant. Thanks guys. 👌⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing food, expertly prepared and cooked perfectly. We enjoyed every moment of our evening there. I will recommend booking a table, as they were quite busy and we wouldn't have gotten a table if it weren't for the booking. The menu is diverse with a great selection of pizzas and pastas, and also steak and veal options. Highly recommend them, and will definitely be going back again!

Absolutely delicious food, excellent amboise and friendly stuff.

Amazing food and staff, they went over and above to bring great energy to our evening. 10/10 recommended

It's one of the best Somerset West has to offer. The staff are friendly, courteous, and attentive. The menu is superb. They offer delivery (call to confirm range), but then you'll miss out on the wonderful atmosphere. Order the melanzane 😉.

The food was amazing. Would recommend the Alfredo Pasta. Creamy, with loads of ham and mushrooms. Our waitron was on point- friendy, efficient, and because of his service I would drive all the way back to Somerset West again.

My family has a great experience here. The waiter was friendly and efficient and the food was of good quality and generous

My best friend and I used to go to Giovanni's at Waterstone village and we loved the restaurant. It was our special treat. Since his passing it has just been to painful to go there and I have decided to go to Eikendal instead. Yesterday I visited Giovanni's at Eikendal. We were 4 people and everyone had an absolutely fantastic meal. The carpaccio is simply out of this world. One of my guests said that the pizza was the best pizza he ever had. The prices are perfect and the staff is so nice. We had a 3 course meal and everything was served in perfect timing. Thank you Giovanni's for being such a special place.

Exceptional food and a beautiful vineyard setting are a given at Giovanni's but what really sets it apart is the heart and soul the owners and staff put into making each customer experience a phenomenal one - something so many establishments lack nowadays. I loved the authentic Italian pizzas and pastas but especially the great vibe - perfect for couples and big lunches with family and friends. Lots of space for kiddies to play and parents to enjoy their wine in peace! Thank you to Warren, Dino and the team for your wonderful service, warmth and the countless grappas! We hope to see you all again soon.

It's a great place to relax with your family and best of all, it's kid friendly! The food is fabulous and staff friendly...what more could one ask for?

Beautiful place and great guys. Marshall and warren. Smiley. Derek and the big cool tapello..always great service and amazing food..we come back all the time ��

We had the most fantastic time at your restaurant yesterday, delicious food, excellent service, superb wine... what an amazing experience! Can’t wait to come back!

I'm embarrassed to admit that for no particular reason I've never been to Giovannis before ... What a huge mistake on my part . Excellent vibe ... good affordable wine and fantastic food ... we'll be back ... and back ... and back. Just a last mention Swirly our waitron was excellent !! Amy Blaine

Great service, great setting, great food and great whiskey! What more can I ask for? Perfect place for families as there's a big lawn outside but also romantic for couples with the dim lighting inside.

Delightful relaxed venue with a comprehensive menu and reasonably priced wine list. And to top it all shared a lovely lunch with beautiful company.

Fabulous venue in beautiful surroundings, yummy food and great service. Thanks to Big Show our waiter and Warren the ninja. Highly recommended. Thank you for a great evening.

To me it is Absolutely an Awesome Venue to Wine and Dine as Giovanni's Eikendal is situated in an tranquil area on the R44 with High Quality Food, Wine and Service.

Had an exquisite meal and wine experience at Giovanni's today! Superbly prepared fresh Kabeljou, melting Pizza, tasty wine and wonderful cappuccino and desserts to round off the last courses. Will recommend to anyone out there to share in this

Great children's venue lots of open space ... food was very good & management is on top of it all. Waiters are attentive and service was excellent ... will definitely go back

Best pizza I've had in years, excellent service, amazing food and atmosphere. Will definitely return. Personal service from the owners and managers. Wow.

The best pizza ever can definitely recommend The Peter pizza. Pasta also just yummy but your pizzas rock
