Fantastic experience! The waitrons were exceptional. Friendly, curtious and helpful. Not a very large selection but the stuff on there are well thought through and sounds amazing. The atmosphere was great. The look and feel of the place is posh and looks amazing. Well done guys and girls. You are taking it to the next level. The food was delicious. I will visit again.
We were a group of 5 and 3 of our group felt that the food was extremely disappointing. I ordered a baby chicken and it was flavourless, without salt, burned and extremely dry. We complained about the food and the response was that they are having problems im the kitchen. Service was also bad. The place is highly overrated. The smokers area is right next to the non smokers area, with no barriers, and we could smell smoke all the time.
I don’t claim to be an expert, but we had the pleasure of experiencing authentic Italian and Mediterranean cuisine at Iskia, and it truly delivers. The meals we enjoyed were delicious, fresh, and unlike anything else in Pretoria. The atmosphere is bright and inviting, with a smart yet relaxed decor, and the service was attentive and friendly. While the prices are on the higher side, it's clear that every penny spent is worthwhile. We’ll definitely be returning!
Wow! What an incredible restaurant! The staff is fantastic, and the food is absolutely delicious. The decor is beautiful, and I must say, the laundry facilities are the best I've ever encountered in South Africa—spotlessly clean! My 3-year-old was so proud to declare that these were the best restrooms she's ever seen because they're shiny and smell wonderful.
The outdoor Mediterranean cuisine is beautiful here. I highly recommend making a reservation, as we were fortunate to get a table without one. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and provided excellent recommendations. They also have a few off-menu items, like the Aperol Spritz, so definitely ask about those.
