fourteen on chartwell

this restaurant is absolutely amazing. from their food to the ambience it totally rocks.
service is verygoodand staff are very attentive. favorite place that we regular visit.

we were a large party of 32 and i accept that presents challenges. however, the service was terrible and it took nearly 2 hours to get our main courses. would not have been so bad if the manager had kept to his promise to have the food within 5 mins - took 35 mins. in addition, i had to follow up because members of our party were left without food.
the quality of the food isgoodbut overpriced, in my opinion. r175 for 2 pieces of oxtail is over the top

great vibe for drinks and a catch up. busy and fun. sit on the pavement, at the bar or lounge area. goodand friendly service. we didn’t eat there.

the atmosphere is vibrant however too noisy. the food was lovely but nothing extraordinary. the chips were so fresh and were my favourite part of the meal. the asian prawn salad had too few prawns and was mainly lettuce. the service wasgoodand friendly.

been to this place twice so far, and have not been disappointed at all. the set up is unlike any other place i've ever been to with a classy lounge type vibe and large bar area that dominates the restaurant. i've tried the lamb shank pie and the lobster mac and cheese. both are delicious and unique and are large enough portions to share. the coffee isgoodas well. the unisex toilets are well kept up and very clean. would definitely recommend.

amazing!!!! great value of money and delicious meals! beautiful decor and seating arrangements..would recommend you sit on the couch seats - soo comfortable. loved the lobster mac 'n cheese and the grilled prawn pasta - both prepared to perfection!gooddrinks and delicious salted caramel hot chocolate! eton mess was great - 2 people need to share, it's a bit much for 1 person which is great-goodserving! did not enjoy the bread and butter pudding - the bread was a bit hard and the vanilla bean icecream was more like a sorbet. overall, an amazing restaurant with friendly, accomodating staff and manager! thank you thulani - you are our go to guy! will be back soon!

i've heard lots ofgoodthings about this place. and finally made a trip. i love the ambience and decor...really warm and inviting. i had a reallygoodlobster mac & cheese for dinner...good portions of lobster with a gruyere cheese sauce...thoroughly enjoyed it. also like the fact that they serve their bread with complimentary boerewors in a chili chutney...the bread was so good!

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 agoodnight 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 moroccan chicken salad with goats cheese and strawberries which was amazing !

great food, cocktails & atmosphere. the prawn salad was amazing with prawns cooked to perfection. the harissa chicken salad was also prettygoodaccompanied 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.

i was put up in the protea hotel. searched for agoodrestaurant on zomato and found this to be ranked at 4.3 and right opposite the hotel. so when there for dinner. the restaurant was full.goodcrowd. the interiors were not great, except the lighting gave agoodlook to the restaurant. i had the fried pepper calamari and grilled hake. it came with a green salad. the food was good. service was good. but, i expected better for a 4.3 ranked restaurant.

really nice setting and interior design as well as comfortable chairs, nice music and always friendly servers well accommodating waiters and barmen. the cocktails are amazing and great presentation. definitely agoodplace to try!

during a recent visit to durban, we sought out a reataurant in the bustling umhlanga rocks for a menu that best suited our taste buds.

we found it here. the menu is sogoodthat we took ages to make up our minds! the choice of states, salads, budgets and main dishes had us drooling. we finally settled on the baked camembert, drowned in a caramel nut sauce. utterly mouth watering & delicious. we each had a salad which were unique and lip smackingly good. i loved my asian prawn salad.

our drinks were crisp, cool, refreshing and the staff were friendly, helpful and cheerful.

everything was perfection!

yes!

yes to what? yes togoodfood, great service, great ambience, yes!

we had a team dinner here last night and it is such an amazing spot. i've been slightly put off the umhlanga scene because what else could i be shown??
well fourteen proved me wrong, the area definitely has some great gems to offer.

wedged between vovo telo and a sea food like spot my only complaint is how hidden the restaurant is.

the table ordered a variety of pastas, burgers, nibbles and i had the lamb cutlets with mash.

the cutlets were cooked amazingly, sitting on a bed of rosemary mash and what i think was red wine jus. mmmm *smacks lips*

we also had a round of cocktails, i had a virgin watermelon and jelepeno margarita, it was delicious. it's not easy to find a place the doesn't completely butcher their virgin cocktails.

so say yes to fourteen on chartwell!

food: menu looks exciting. we had the baked camembert - verygoodwith lovely bread (from nextdoor cousin vovo telo) and a surprisingly nice hazelnut caramel. can't recommend the pulled brisket and caramelisef onion - very dry and unpleasantly chewy.
service: manager very rude not eager to assist. waiter at our table was however very friendly and attentive.
ambiance: music very loud. noisy drunk customers did detract from having a pleasant experience.
will be back to try a few other items on the menu.

bit of a hit and miss at 14 on chartwell. walking into this place expectations are high, its in an amazing location, the decor is trendy and the atmosphere relaxing. we decided to do a bunch of starters, there were some clear winners in the salt anf pepper squid, the squid was perfectly tender and tomato chilli jam was a perfect match, we also had the cider mussels, although the mussels were done perfectly i did not detect cider the tanginess of the cider in the sauce, we then moved to the craft beer taster and german sausage board, loved the beer, but was disappointed with the "german sausage" it was more like cheese grillers and russians on a plate, and the pretzels conveniently missing from the plate. at this point, the experience was rather average, what pushed it just over the 70% mark was the pulled beef brisket and caramalised onions jaffle, wow what a winner, succulent soft beef and wonderful sweet onions to round of a verygooddish. service to was not that great and needs some attention
