turn 'n tender

my partner and i came here for a meal before we went to catch a movie .

it was quite empty and we initially opted for an outdoors table but later moved indoors to a booth . the outdoor tables overlook the parking lot and there’s too much going on outside it was a bit distracting for me .
my partner wanted to smoke and i don’t think the place caters for smokers because there was a no smoking sign in the outdoor area and i doubt you could smoke inside so a heads up for the smokers .
our waiter was super friendly and gave usgreatservice .

the decor and atmosphere of the place have a very vintage feel . i really liked the lights that are hanging from the ceiling they create a soft mood and the place doesn’t feel too much like a diner . to eat we both ordered the ribs and calamari combo . but i had the tubed calamari and my partner the squid heads . the ribs were so juicy and succulent . and the calamari wasgreat,i absolutely enjoyed the lemon and butter sauce it was swimming in .
the food was really good but it took a while to cool down . really wish more restaurants would invest in cooling plates.

they also give you these purple bibs which are super cute . and they came in handy because my partner was wearing a white shirt and is quite a messy eater .

this is agreatspot and would definitely recommend it .

wow, what an amazing dining experience! my husband and i went to turn 'n tender for a meal to ourselves last friday night. i booked a table in advance and received an sms to confirm my booking.

we were seated and attended to quickly, our drinks arrived promptly and we were given just enough time to decide on our meal. the waitress was very professional and took our order with a smile.

then the food arrived - all i can say is "wow!". our meal was truly spectacular and reasonably priced for the large portions. i had the calamari and steak combo, and my only complaint is that the calamari was a bit cold.

the restaurant was fairly dimly lit, but this added to thegreatambiance - it was quite a romantic setting and the general chatter was enough to indicate that everyone was having a good time.

been there twice before...greatservice and good food. took our kids there tonight and was charged r100 for a kiddies meal with 4 very small riblets and very crispy chips that my kids could not eat. feel the kiddies meal is overpriced for what you get. guess we won't be going back.

once again-greatservice and spectacular food. steaks are cooked to perfection with a generous portion of chips and stir fry veg. one of our favorite places to go.

our 3rd visit. a dramatic improvement. our fillet steak and sauces were top notch. the best steak meal i have had in a very long time and up there with the best. chips were just right as well. i'm struggling to find anything to criticize, really. if the manager had thrown out the usual sad family sitting around reading their un-smartphones, there had been a little music and a slight bit more attention from our waiter,  i would have awarded them a solid 5. for a steakhouse in a mall and considering the improvements in food and service, 4.6 would be a more accurate rating from me.greatrum on a cold night.

reallygreatto go to a good restaurant at cresta again. it’s alsogreatto see a busy restaurant in the centre so make sure you book over a weekend.

their grapefruit mojito is amazing! well worth ordering.

ribs are good but because they’re cut before finished cooking and then basted, i found the basting very overpowering. it is quite handy that it’s precut though.

my hubby enjoyed his sirloin.

all in all agreatmeal!

absolutely delicious food andgreatservice!
our waiter, bobby, made the evening so special. he recommended food choices which did not disappoint, especially the bordelaise sauce which is a must try! it wasgreathaving good food and awesome service for a change.
the best turn n’ tender branch i have tried thus far.
i will definitely be back.

after many months of eager anticipation tun n tender cresta opened on wednesday 29th november and what an opening. the venue is superb, with a massive inside section and a very pleasant outside patio, service is very good and the food from the standard tnt menu superb. my friend and i shared an excellent steak tartare perfectly prepared and presented. this was followed by a tender, juicy 800g sirloin (also to share), again cooked exactly as ordered and accompanied by a mountain of genuine hand cut chips suitably crispy as requested. to finish off, two irish coffees. the usual wine list has a wide selection and prices are reasonable.
being cresta, there is ample parking.
i enjoyed the experience so much that i have already returned twice and will be one of the regulars.
despite being agreatsteakhouse, there are also several vegetarian options and the salads aregreattoo.
