The system required dietary information a few days ahead of our booking, and these were easy to communicate via email.
We were offered the opportunity to cancel the reservation, but decided to keep it anyway, as the other Monday evening dinner options were unexciting. We had already paid a R250 deposit per head by credit card. When I booked I only had the option of a table at 18h00 and only in the restaurant section, and not at the open kitchen counter.Īnnoying was when the system announced a reservation time change from 18h00 to 20h30, without a request from us, and less convenient to us. When one books a Luke Dale-Roberts restaurant (he has four: The Test Kitchen, Shortmarket Club, and Luke Dale-Roberts at The Saxon, in addition to The Pot Luck Club) one has to pay a deposit, efficiently done via the Dineplan reservation system. Very few photographs of the dishes we ate could be found. This was my first review written from memory, and the photographs were sourced from the restaurant’s website, and the internet. He challenged me to leave my note book at home, to just enjoy the evening, and to have fun. On Monday evening a friend and I ate dinner at Pot Luck Club in the Biscuit Mill, it being one of very few quality restaurants which are open on Monday evenings.
