fourteen on chartwell

what a wonderful place, the food and service were both excellent, our waiter went the extra step to help accommodate for my fussy 7 year old by getting himchickenstrips made. the cauliflower soup was a huge hit for us.

the food was very good, the waiters were great but the management staff were unfriendly, arrogant and unpleasant...pity about them! one of our guests got a basically emptychickenpie underneath the pasty and when he politely queried it he was met with an off putting person and attitude.

this is my absolute fav spot, on a weekend. the atmosphere is always just right for me and my friends. the food is so tasty, i love their creamychickencurry.

the moment i walked into the restaurant i knew that i would love it.

the restaurant is beautiful. the light feature is probably the first point i noticed and loved. since we were out for dinner the lights really set the tone for the evening. it was a could night but the restaurant was pleasantly warm, we were seated at the back so perhaps the warmth was caused by being near the kitchen. there was music playing at a comfortable volume but as the night grew older it became louder- that is the reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars. it was too loud. uncomfortably so.

the food. lovely presentation. warm all round. delivered to our tables after the perfect wait. we were served complimentary bread with a sausage side while we waited. the bread seemed freshly made. most of us ordered starters. i had a tasted of the wings and the pairing with the sauce. i jad ordered calamari which was accompanied by a jam dip which i did not fancy. i also stole a taste of thechickenlivers which were magic. done so right! later on in the even i tasted the leftover steak was also done just right. we all enjoyed our drinks.

the staff. what a vibe. nothing beats being served by a happy staff. a shout out to the owners who seem to be treating their waiters well. ayanda was our waiter and he was a pleasure. i did notice though that there were no waitresses 👀

i most certainly will be returning.

delicious food and beautiful setting!!! we shared a platter with ribs, lamb cutlets, calamari, pork belly,chickenwings and chips, the ribs were definitely my favourite!

i had the peri perichickenand was not impressed. it wasn’t mind blowing, very average for the price. the vibe was awesome and service was good.

definitely the best place to be at the village umhlanga!!! ambiance a tick....we were here till late. drinks and food also a tick...esp. their crispychickenwings!!!

fourteen on chartwell is a great location. right on the umhlanga strip, it's a great place to meet up with mates. the food is a bit pricey and can take a while but it is good. try the pie or the butterchickencurry. both are very good.

amazing service, amazing food, amazing atmosphere! i had the prawn linguine and it is honestly the best pasta i have ever had in my life, it was divine! as were the nacho-crustedchickenstrips, brown butter lime salmon and the lamb cutlets. definitely a must go to and i will be back!

what a fantastic venue and ambience with great service frik the greeting at the door to the recognition as a return customer. we did a selection of all the starters with the calamari and mussels an absolute must do for everyone. the butterchickencurry was great and music was spot on as was the service! will definitely visit again next time u am in umhlanga!!

a decent trendy hangout spot in umhlanga which attracts regular patrons looking for a bar lounge restaurant combination. interior decor and ambience resembles modern earthy contemporary design yet slightly sophisticated makes for a great evening out amongst friends and colleagues. the outside spilling of tables by roadside however doesn't quite offer the same experience as the inside but understandably so.

menu is furnished with general mediterranean type cuisine mixed with a craft beer selection. went for a broad selection of finger nibbles to sample the kitchen which included mussels,chickenwings, lamb strips and chips. on the whole it was a satisfactory experience with the mussels choice being my favorite (spicy tomato based sauce mixed with their freshly made bread was a decadently received by my tastebuds).

nice one guys and surely will return for some drinks at the bar with colleagues.

i would be failing this review if i did not start with ambiance , which fourteen on chartwell is not short of. the busy ambiance makes for a good night out with friends , however isn't really for the romantic couple purely because you would not be able to talk to each other over the noise .

the food was delicious and service was fast and friendly . i had the moroccanchickensalad with goats cheese and strawberries which was amazing !

great food, cocktails & atmosphere. the prawn salad was amazing with prawns cooked to perfection. the harissachickensalad was also pretty good accompanied by fresh strawberries, goats cheese and avo. friendly service. get there early or make a reservation as it gets busy once the supper service begins.

probably one of the best dining experiences i have had in a really long time. staff is very friendly and the service was impeccable. i am in love with their fruity g&t's! their smotheredchickenserved with gnocchi was tasty, which i had as my main. i nibbled on pork belly dices as i waited for my main, which was perfectly cooked. a great place for a romantic evening out for the perfect dining experience or simply to have fun and drinks with friends. i would definitely recommend it to anyone.

beautiful ambience. low volume music. mood lighting is perfect. what a great sunday dinner ! vegetarian burger was generous. bun was well toasted. burger patty could have been a bit crispier.chicken, roquefort and pear salad was perfect. would suggest putting on flat plate as fillet is difficult to cut in round bowl. thando was our server. she was a+++ , brilliant service !!! desert menu is very exciting and different. blue cheese brûlée , mojito cheesecake. we settled for eton mess which was delightful !! will definitely return
