  I am amazed with this place, drove pass it for 12 years and never thought this spot, it's a great break away from the city with in the city. The staff are extremely friendly and makes you feel at home right away... Wonder full experience, will definitely recommend this to everyone that feels rushed to come and relax next to the water, have a beer, and forget that you are in the city!

  Very beautiful place with a beautiful surrounding. Staff friendly, food priced very reasonable. But, we were a group of 7, waited 35minutes for 6 cappuccinos and our breakfast, which we all ordered the same dish, took 47 minutes.

  Staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Felt very welcome and comfortable. Stunning view and relaxed atmosphere for a Sunday buffet. Inexpensive buffet, although the quality of food was underwhelming. Booked us for upstairs when we had someone in a wheelchair - not convenient at all.

  Stunning views. Try get there as sun setting to see all the birds landing and preparing their nests. Tranquil beauty at its best.
  Can use entertainer :-) great food and craft beer. Try the bar upstairs after your meal to relax and unwind with views over the lake and the bird park.

  Beautiful place hidden away in mother nature. Huge lovely pond and trees that attract bird life. The food is phenomenal and the staff is simply the best!👌

  Beautiful venue near the University of Pretoria next to the Austin Roberts Bird Sanctuary. Ideal place for children as well. Wheel chair accessible and toilet for the disabled. Place for children to play. Big Tortoise walking around

  Service was not good. Had to keep looking for the waitress. My granddaughter loved feeding the ducks and blue crane

  What a really nice restaurant!!! I was so pleasantly surprised... it really exceeded my expectations and then there was the food which did so much more that just exceed my expectations!!!!! Wow!!!
  I was here for a work function yesterday and would really like to return with my family!
  The birds were scarce though... I was expecting to see many more than the 5 that were there!

  The view over the bird sanctuary lakes makes up for the slow service (despite the place not busy at lunchtime). A short menu but gives a choice of main food types. A Boma in the back offers a barbecue venue for groups. A play area for children under the lush trees will help parents enjoy their meal.

  Lovely view, good service and a great playground for littlies. The food is delicious and every plate is considered as an aesthetic object. Prices range from R60 to R180 per meal 🍴.

  I visit this place usually once a month for an open mic evening called "Dowe Digters". Food is good and craft beer available on tap. Stopped by for a coffee three other evening and it was nice and quiet outside next to the dam. Friendly staff and good service.

  Lovely upmarket with dam view and birds. Feels like you are out of town. Relaxing. Bar and games. Friendly staff and good food.

  When you sit down for a meal at this Brooklyn establishment it feels like you're about to enjoy something in the middle of nowhere next to a dam, not at a place in the middle of the city.
  
  The selection feels a bit limited and the place feels a bit stiff, but this isn't a traditional chain restaurant. It has its own image and look and feel. That's why people keep coming back.
  
  Sit outside on the lower level and you may be greeted by a blue crane coming to see what you're having for lunch.
