"Very pleasantly surprised! My wife and I sneaked away for an anniversary lunch and were very intrigued by the calm atmosphere as we walked in. It was during the middle of the week, but the entire setting was very relaxing. We enjoyed a delicious pizza and had a few drinks, served by friendly and doting staff members. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the nearby metro that is Kimberley. Will definitely bring the kids for a day out next time."
