DISAPPOINTMENT AT CATTLE BARON, TABLE VIEW.

A friend and I were looking forward to having a meal at the Cattle Baron in Table View on the 25th of January 2025. When we got there, my friend ordered a Chateau 200gm fillet. I order a Chateau 300 gm rump steak.. Hers came and it was lit with brandy etc. Mine came as a rump but not brandy which could be lit. When I asked why the waiter said I had just ordered a rump. I disagreed. I had repeated twice that I wanted a 300 gm Chateau rump. He took my food back and returned with a Chateau 330 gr rump steak, which he lit as per what I had ordered. I could not eat it. It had so much fat on it, that I nearly got sick. I returned it and the waiter brought me another 300 Chateau rump and lit it with the brandy as per what I had ordered. It was better than the first steak he gave me. The head of the kitchen, a lady came to ask me if I had asked for a rump without fat. I have never had to ask Cattle Baron for a steak without fat. At the end of the evening, the second steak was better but not what I am used to at the restaurant. What got to me was that I was charged R40.00 for the brandy that went on the Chateau 300gm rump that I had ordered. I was then charged R40.00 for the brandy used to light my rump I should have asked where on the menu one gets charged for the brandy on a Chateau steak. I am sorry that I did not refuse to pay anything. My friend who had also ordered a Chateau fillet was not charged R40.00 for the brandy to flame her steak. My husband/ friends and I have frequented this restaurant for more than 25 years. It was the worst meal we have ever had there. Needless to say, my friend ordered a steak medium done and it came back raw. She took it home and will re-cook the steak in the microwave. Very very disappointed, I have never complained before about a meal at the Cattle Baron in Table View. The food is not cheap and one expects not to be disappointed. Unless the food improves, my friend and I will never support the Cattle Baron in Table View ever again.
