   Really nice setting, South African food done right. Delicious meats and Lots of wines to choose. Cheese room is a nice touch. Staff were excellent at recommending foods/drinks for an even better experience

   A good Saturday night experience at Vivat Bacchus. Had a lovely Pinotage from the good selection of wines, friendly and efficient service and lovely food. I ate vegetarian and my date ate meat and both were good. The atmosphere was buzzy without being OTT so you could still hear yourselves speak. I will definitely go back again.

   We noted that the entire South African experience has been suppressed with food only permitted from Europe .. apparently a Southwark council order !

   I’d dined at their Farringdon branch last year on 2 occasions and been very impressed with attentive service, food quality & quantity and overall ambiance. This experience was notably different and not in a good way. Service was mediocre, no one ever checked if everything was OK with any course. 4 of us crammed on a table really more suited for 2 yet no need as restaurant 60% full. Portion sizes seemed to be half what they were, 2 of us had lamb and the difference between the 2 was quite marked. Staff didn’t seem that interested nor working as a team, when we asked about some of the dishes they had no idea and just said it was really good. We were booked at 12:45 and one of our party ordered the Ostrich steak to be told they were sold out … why not say it just wasn’t on today, no way had they run out during 15 minutes of prior service with 4 people in. Won’t be returning, sorry, not good enough.

   We enjoyed the food and drinks but we did find our waiter was a little grumpy with us when asking about items on the menu and when we needed more time.

   The food and service was very good. I didn’t like that all extras were an additional cost, for example a small plate of chips were an additional £5+ We were trying to have a catch up with someone we have not seen for a while but found it very noisy and hard to follow the conversation. This was probably bad timing as we were seated next to a largish table downstairs. Overall, food and service great but seemed a little pricy.

   Went there for a small word-do. Service was, as always, impeccable. And the desserts weren’t too shabby either! Definitely going there again.
