The Roundhouse Restaurant

The place is amazing and well positioned. We came for dinner, as a group of 14+ people. The waiter managed to take our order pretty well. Given that the restaurant serves a three course menu. We just needed to get the main deal, which was food of course. There's sea food, meat, pizza, etc. Then there is the platter for two, which I don't think needs to be there (except for branch). The idea of serving food all at once for a group of people is great idea, well done to the restaurant on that. Great service!! Waiter managed to ensure that food was delivered to everyone. There were two interesting moments, two unknown oderes being brought to the table after received their order. I hope those were not included on the bill.

This place is the place to be this some the wonderful environment and the stunning view of the mountains is breathtaking. I love the setup and the layout. The food and service is amazing would highly recommend this place especially over the festive season parking is a bit limited. The the staff is amazing and the food is delicious. Place of highly quality will definitely be back.

Beautiful setting any time of day with lovely views and really delicious food. Note that because this place attracts quite a few tourists, the prices are a bit steep. The staff are very friendly and the service they provide is excellent (kudos to them for running up and down all the many stairs all evening!) The food itself was delicious. I’d recommend the fish and chips, the serving size is enough to feed two!

I was really impressed with everything at The Lawns. The food was great. My personal favorites were the “pork belly burnt ends” and the “bruschetta.” (With a twist, it also included zucchini, peppers, and olives. Very tasty.) The drinks were great (I got the margarita, and my partner got a virgin mojito.) And the view… unbeatable. But I have to give special props to the service. When we first showed up, we didn’t have a reservation. We didn’t know if they could seat us, but they found some place. It was clear they were a little understaffed, and because of that it took a little while before we could place our order, so we were worried how the service would be. But this team was RUNNING it. Truly, sometimes running from table to table to deliver food and orders. Full on shout out to whoever was working on October 19th. They were on top of everything. It was a really wonderful meal.

The Lawns is one of the best outdoor, summer venues in Cape Town. (i.e., Wear sunscreen unless you pitch up after dark.) The views of Table Mountain, the Twelve Appostles, and Camps Bay are unbeatable. The staff are welcoming and friendly, and most of the food is very good, too. There isn't a great deal of parking. Certainly there is not enough if the restaurant is at capacity, so consider an uber. On the food side, our dishes were good, except for the fact that the constant wind meant everything was teppid by the time it reached the table and cold shortly thereafter. Unfortnately, we were properly underwhelmed by the Korean Chicken Burger.

The views are really something to behold! Situated well on the side of Lion’s head mountain you can get a great view of the ocean as well as a good deal of the 12 Apostles. The place is certainly more geared toward drinking, with an outside seating area being the vast majority of the restaurant. The service was good, with attentive waiters and runners. The waiter also made special arrangements for us when they didn’t have that sauce we wanted. As for the food, I shared a burger and a pizza. The burger was great, but they Margarita pizza was highly disappointing. No tomato base, the cheese was thin and there was no basil as promised by the menu. If the pizza was better it would have gotten 5 stars. Also note the road is pretty rough and I had to take it quite carefully in my relatively low car.
