The Hussar Grill Grandwest

We had a wonderful "Date Night", and are glad we booked in advance. We were greeted by name at the door by manager Jason, and taken to our cosy, comfortable booth in the tastefully decorated restaurant. Soft lighting, nice music played at a volume that still allowed for good conversation, and decor that was calming and initimate. We were very relaxed when the food arrived, initially some garlic olives and thinly slices fried potato. This went well with the Hussars 50th anniversary bottle of red wine that was a part of the date night special menu. Our waitresses were lovely and patient with us, offering a broad range of choices to accompany the three course meal. Attention to detail was perfect, working through a list of entree, main and dessert choices, then the side dish of preference, cut of steak and how we wanted it cooked. Chicken livers in creamy peri peri sauce with crunchy croutons came first and the red wine continued to delight, cutting through the richness of the sauce. The steak was simply presented on a warm plate, and beautifully cooked. We eat good red meat rare, and were very pleased when the steak came out properly cooked. Too many restaurants seem to over cook their steak when ordered rare, but not here at Hussars. And, this was our second visit, previously also having a perfectly cooked steak. The fat was nicely rendered, will grill flavours came through on the tender and tasty sirloin steak that we ordered. Dessert finally followed, and somewhere in there we had an extra glass of wine, necessitated by the wonderful pace of the service. Slow enough that we could enjoy the ambience, sip our wine slowly and chat, but not so slow that we were looking around waiting for food to arrive. I guess what helped the service speed was the attentiveness of our waiting team, occasionly being asked how everything was going, and whether or not we were ready for the next course. Again, we were impressed by this desire to ensure our needs were met - neither rushed because the restaurant wanted to free up our seats for the next group, nor delayed due possibly to a busy or inefficient kitchen. Whatever the reasons, we were watchful and attentive to the processes of the restaurant ourselves, and everything seemed to be handled perfectly. It was lovely to meet the manager Jason, and provide final thanks to him directly. My wife and I are only visiting Cape Town for a short while, and to have positive and memorable experiences such as we had at Hussars Grill GrandWest, is delightful. Five stars for everything!

What a great spoil! I enjoyed a wonderfully done medium rare fillet steak that was one of the best tasting foods I have ever had! Not only that they spoiled us with a small starter and amazing chocolate vodka drink at the end, on the house! Wonderful taste sensation and great service! I couldn't have enjoyed it more, and I can highly recommend the carpetbagger steak to anyone wondering what to have.

Great service from the waiter Keith who took care of us from the beginning until the end of the dinner. Delicious chicken livers but quite spicy. Main course we choose ostrich fillet and kudu with a side of garlic baby potatoes and cinnamon butternut and creamy spinach. Good vibes and nice location. We loved it thank you so much for the beautiful experience!!!

My family and i would like to thank all the staff from the General Manager to the floor manager, waitrons and chef! My mom turned 90 and wanted us to take her to the Casino to play the slots as part of her birthday celebration. I booked the Hussar Grill for an early dinner. They totally went out of their way to give us a super spot and table! I booked a booth but instead of 6 there were 7 of us and they thought we would be cramped. Eventually they carried in their only round table and set it up in a super section of the restaurant and placed wine barrels on both sides of the table to display our balloons and birthday cake which we were allowed to bring. It was the Managers daughter and wife’s birthday on the same day - 7th July and he was going off to share the evening with them but still took the time to make it so special for us! I hope they had as great a tome as we did! We were also given a complementary 1.5l bottle of red wine for the celebration which was totally unexpected and a vert kind gesture. Thank you so very much! The service was exceptional from start to finish and the steaks were delicious! You contributed so much in making moms 90th bday celebration special💐🎂
