Cape Dutch

Hidden behind a nondescript entrance we found a fine restaurant, which gave us one of the best dinners we have enjoyed in ages. Innovative dishes, perfectly cooked, attentive and friendly service in an attractive and spacious dining room: this was the culinary highlight of our visit to Atlanta. The theme is lightly South African, as the name suggests, and there is a fine selection of South African wines, but the brilliant Belgian chef has constructed an eclectic menu, and everything we ate was distinctive and superbly cooked.

This place was fantastic. From the service to the food, it was a wonderful experience. My boyfriend and I came for date night, and started with a LOADED charcuterie board. It could've been a meal in itself. We also ordered a bottle of the SA Shiraz, which was delicious. After that we both had the Perri Perri steak. Cooked exactly like we asked, and just so juicy. He had to finish mine because I couldn't! Our server was helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient. Super service! Definitely recommend for a high end date night.

Exceeded expectations. Mussels, elk and ribeye were great. Peri peri sauce was a nice side addition that was unique and spicy. Don't let the front of the building deter. A really nice bar and dining room with an open air area in the back. The wood fire grill inside is interesting too. Will definitely be back.

The customer service at Cape Dutch is impeccable, it easily rivals its culinary decadence. The bartender Hayward is personable and professional. I easily could have dined at the bar and had the same experience. My friend and I decided to get a table near the bar and we were not disappointed. Our server was handling a cocktail party of about 25 and simultaneously took care of us seamlessly. We had the mussels, the branzino, brussels sprouts and the bread pudding. Everything was immaculate but the mussels in the delicate coconut milk based broth were the mvp! The shining star of the evening was the manager K. She gave us a tour of the beautiful restaurant after we dined and introduced us to the Chef. I will be back and will encourage others to dine there as well. I thoroughly enjoyed myself!

I have to say, I never eat out because it’s always so expensive.. but tonight was by far the best meal/ experience I have ever had. Reggie’s, Andrew and cipriana gave the best service. The food was INCREDIBLE and Mitch, the GM, was an amazing host. I would recommend this place to anyone anytime for any occasion. Expect to be taken careful completely to the fullest here.

Delicious! A group of four of us dined here on a Thursday night They weren't super busy when we arrived, but the dining room was nearly full when we left. Two were running late (thanks Atlanta traffic) so we waited in the comfortable area near the front door. They offered to seat us, but we decided to wait. A server offered to get us drinks from the bar while we waited. Once seated, the service was excellent. We ordered drinks, which were on the pricey side ($14 for a cocktail), and they were very tasty and refreshing. One was enough to relax me! We ordered the charcuterie plate to start, and it came to our table very quickly. The server was attentive, but not annoying or intrusive. Once we ordered our meals, they came fairly quickly. The food was delicious. We ordered the sea bass, lemon ricotta ravioli, burger, and a steak (cannot remember which one, but it looked so good!). We also ordered mushrooms, asparagus, and macaroni and cheese to share. Everything arrived as ordered and the burger and steak were cooked as requested. The macaroni and cheese is not a traditional macaroni and cheese. It seems to have some bell peppers and pimientos in it or something like that. It's delicious, but you might be surprised if you order it and expect to get a standard mac and cheese. The burger came with fries, but the others didn't have any sides, hence the suggestion we order a few sides to share. We shared some desserts at the table and they were also tasty. We all enjoyed the experience and are looking forward to coming back.
