I haven’t posted in quite some time, however, I feel that after last night it’s time to get back on top of things. I’m still trying to figure out what it is I want to relay first, the negative or the positive? There is definitely, specials aside, more negative aspects.
I have decided to go with the good first, so that I can leave you with a taste of bitterness when you close this window.
So, Beluga is running the most amazing special, and it entails SUSHI. All sushi = half price between 1pm & 7pm, and I mean everything. It is amazing! The sushi is tantalizing and, best of all, cheap! For 22 pieces, during the special, it’ll cost you a mere R75-00. This includes 6 Salmon roses, 6 seared Tuna roses, 5 pieces of Salmon Nigiri, 5 Pieces of seared Tuna Nigiri & 2 California rolls. This is about as good as it gets at Beluga. It is worth going there for the special, no doubt.
Cocktails are also half-priced, not that they know how to make them. We ordered two Mojito’s and for some reason they made it with lemon, mint and Bacardi only. I mean seriously, do you have any idea how disgusting that tastes? It needs some form of sweetness. Yuk, my face is all tweaked out just from thinking about it.
Just thinking of sushi is giving me tummy rumbles, and only because I am hungry.
Now, the negative… OH the negative. Firstly, upon arrival, we were seated at a table without a clean table cloth, of course this is no issue, if they actually change it in due course. Obviously, this never happened, so for an hour or so, I was dining on a table cloth with two impeccable stains on them, they could have represented the second coming of Christ, or they could have represented poor quality service as a result of mis-management and lack of customer care. Who knows? Secondly eating sushi required minimal ‘cutlery’ right? So we got exactly that, chopsticks & two soy bowls. That’s it. No Soy sauce, no serviettes, no nothing. I am amazed they put our sushi on a plate. So we borrowed someSoy Sauce from our neighbouring table and proceeded to eat simplistically. Which was worth it, due to the price we ended up paying for our entire meal (R100 for two).
Claiming to be one of the top restaurants in Cape Town or at least striving to be, they should seriously consider revamping their customer care strategy.
Until next time, which should be soon, if all goes well of course
