Perfect setting for a midweek family celebration meal. Two out of three contestants managed the kilo t-bone, a good effort. The interesting African theme and menu was a delight, and staff were attentive and friendly. Loved my lamb/rice dish that I couldn't pronounce. Can't wait to go back. (Porkchop - See my reviews (6)

They try to create food with a difference which is ok.
The lettuce in the salad had sand which can happen but not to both of us.
The steak was over cooked, fatty and over priced which is never an issue for us if properly prepared.
The service was slow and poor.
We were dissapointed after some of our friends saying it was so good.
At the end when we complained to the lady at the count who couldn't of cared less.
Maybe caught them on a bad day, might try again when I can pluck up the courage. (Lyfsabuz - See my reviews (14)

No one seems to be in charge...lots of activity,but no real "we care about your business" feel...almost impossible to get the waitpersons attention,short of standing up and clapping your hands (which we did)...Steaks are good,and portions reasonable..but I would not break my neck to go back ..P.S They should clean the toilets every now and then!

We ate hear after hearing that it was fab and the mains were very good a little pricey, starters not so good. When we arrived we were sat next too the biggest table in the place our waitress then found it hard to serve everyone and getting her attention was quit difficult too. We felt rushed through our dinner and In the end we were not even asked about deserts, tea or coffee they took our plates and that was that!! It was a lovley restaurant but would have been fab only for it been over crowded (July, 2008)

We ate here hearing that it was the place of all place to eat, meant to be fab. Now I will say the food was lovely but I got the feeling that we were been rushed through it. The waitress that was serving us also had a table of 15 or more who of course were right behind us, it was hard to get her attention for anything, my white wine was a little off, cutlery was forgotten at one stage and we werent even asked about deserts. I did like the place and but maybe a few little changes can be made. A place that is ablwys busy should be able to cope with a busy restaurant if not please dont take as many booking as it was lovely but could have been so much more! (July, 2008)

Did not get past the booking... we were told that the restaurant was ALWAYS EXTREMELY BUSY and we could only be given a table for 1 1/4 of an hour on any given evening, which was "plenty of time to eat" (!) - not my idea of customer service. (The rating of food, ambience and value for money is based on the evaluation of a third party who was taken there as a guest in the past) (Not Impressed - May, 2008)

We visited Hippo Creek at 6,30 p.m. on Sat, 14.4.08 and ordered an Avo Dugout to share because we were not aware that there was only one half of an avocado. Please arrange to change your description to Avo HALF stuffed with a seafood mix in a tangy seafood sauce. Considering that the retail price of an avocado pear is no more than $2.50 each, we felt that the price of $16.00 for this dish was way over the top. (April, 2008)

We really had a lovely time at Hippo Creek, the food was lovely. Most of the table had the Hunters Assaghi and everyone really enjoyed it. Although you couldn't smell it from the restaurants, the smell of the toilets was a tad off putting. (March, 2008)
