Our party of 11 was given stellar service, and the food was fantastic. Beautifully presented, all delicious. The chef combines taste and texture with élan- delicate starters and the amuse-bouche with edible flowers, elegant dishes with sweetbreads, rabbit and an incredibly tender filet. The wine list with the wine pairing dinner included hard to get wines and new couplings. A... More

We where so delighted to discover this hidden gem just outside pretoria. Its as if you escaped the city and was transported to a medieval castle. The service was warm and the food was exquisite. Best pheasant I have ever eaten.

Chef Chantel Dartnell is without doubt one of South Africa's best chef's. She experiments with taste's and textures and her food is beautifully presented. I have eaten here many times and in my opinion she ranks as one of our top 3 chefs at the moment. Her food is a craft and if you are ever around for breakfast- brace... More

I am in did enjoyed everything but with this I cannot say that this is what make Mosaic the best. I do prefer simple food than get complicate, this is my point of view they maybe should also offer something less elaborate, very good service.

Dear Bilucicos We appreciate your comment that you prefer simple food, but Mosaic, being a fine dining restaurant, must cater for our huge following of gourmets expecting the highest international quality and standards of this type of cuisine. Surely, when you prefer a family orientated steak house, you will not visit an Italian Trattoria. Naturally – you will be disappointed.... More

Without doubt the food and service are good but not as described by the reviewer. I really enjoyed the dessert and petit four after our dinner. S

Best of both worlds - amazing place for a very special stay over @ The Orient and the most exquisite food served in the on site Mosaic restaurant. One of the degustations menus, with wine pairing a must. Service was great, the sommelier knows his stuff and just an overall great experience.
