Overall disappointing experience

I am very sad to write this review on the Spur at Ushaka in Durban. Despite the nice ambiance & the waitress willing to change the TV and put the soccer on, the meal was not up to standards for Spur. The meal arrived, i ordered a rump steak 200g, no garnish on the plate, no tomato/onion lettuce piece, the plate was plonked down looking very bare and unappetizing. The waitress hadn't even realized... I ordered a side of mushrooms to replace the missing garnish, & still asked if it was available as an added extra -as by now the waitress still hadn't noticed that my meal was incomplete - The waitress brought mushroom flavored sauce in a gravy boat. Which i didn't request. The Spur was not busy & it was not near closing time (it was evening time) the waiters start mopping & cleaning around us & others, who are in the middle of a meal. Slopping the wet mop around, the whole area smelled like cleaning products that the food ended up tasting like it. It was quite unpleasant. I rather enjoy Spur & am willing to pay the extra cost for the experience Spur offers you when you eat there. But not at this Spur. Many Thanks

Hi Kelly,

Thank you for your feedback. We have stopped serving garnish largely because so much of it is wasted and ends up being thrown away. However, should you wish to have the lettuce and tomato garnish, then it should be provided. We are concerned to read of the other things that went wrong during your visit though.

Please be ***ured that we will address your concerns with the owner/operator of the Silver Spear Spur who will be in touch with you shortly.

Kind regards
Bev Cornwell
Customer Care Manager

Hi, I wasn't aware of the garnish changes. Thanks for informing me. I suggest you put a sign up or let customers know on the menu someway. I appreciate the feedback. I believe you will talk to the Manager & Owner of this branch.
