Went for a birthday lunch at La-Perna restaurant Pretoria North on Saturday, high expectations place is themed 50's & 60's Johnny Cash, Beatles, James Dean posters, old motor bikes and old Coca cola signs etc etc. Looks good but boy, prices are crazy but hey maybe the food is spectacular. What a joke, my child's kiddie meal at R 55 consisted of 10 chips and 4 small strips of chicken. Service takes forever, ask for sauces nothing arrives, ask another table for them and before you finish they zip them away when you look away without asking, by the time you find some again the food is cold. The burgers were dry too. Yes it was busy but more TRAINED staff needed here, ask for a last round never arrives, OK so ask for bill THAT arrives 20 mins later WITH the 'last round' drinks on that never arrived! another 15 mins to sort that out. They also blast Afrikaans music all day despite there being a diverse crowd, black, white, young and old, play some old stuff in keeping with the theme man! NEVER AGAIN.

The place caters for not just everyone but the entire age categories, it is homely, beautiful and just welcoming. It's one place I constantly go to, the staff is very warm and the food, okay I can say a lot, divine but very reasonable prices, kiddies friendly, youthful scenery and you feel like you out of Pretoria.

My sister and her husband came Visiting from America. We we recommended they use La Perna Lodge for there visit for 10 Days. The owner informed us that we can have guest over to enjoy the swimming pool area. On Sunday 8 January 2023 we went there to take the little ones for a swim. There was a birthday party. We were not informed about it by anyone. The Manager were called to remove us. We spoke to the owner about it, But she was super rude to us. We immediately packed up all our stuff and informed our friends that will also be using this place to rather go to another place. I have never heard an owner treating her guests like they don't belong. We will not be using this place ever again. We have spent a lot of money using this place as well as spending lots of time at the diner to entertain the little ones. This was a super bad experience. Will not ever recommend this place to anyone. The owner does not care about her guests at all. If we were notified about the function and were handled with more respect we would've stayed and not complain.

Highly disgusted in the service we received at La Perna Diner yesterday 27 March 2022. Being our first visit there meeting up with family from Mpumalanga it soon turned out to a very big disappointment, booked a table with Peter on Saturday for Sunday 10:00am seated in the smokers area next to the wall made us clearly visible to all waiters, but yet the services was non existence, the waiter that "served" us went on lunch without informing us that he is going on lunch and will hand us over to another waiter, myself had to get up 3 times to go and look for someone to ask for assistance to just to get drinks, our waiter returned from lunch and said the time period for breakfast is over "so due to him being missing in action" and receiving no assistance from the other waiters we demanded breakfast, whereby the waiter then send someone to our table to tell us the breakfast time is over, needless to say we demanded breakfast and we received breakfast, one order were wrong and were sent back when the correct order arrived after 20 minutes the food were ice cold. I call our waiter for the last time to ask for salt, pepper & sauces whereby I said to him that his service and attitude is really a big concern and that I am very disappointed and I don't think I'll visit La Perna Diner again, his response was "I DON"T CARE" and he walked away. If this is the kind of people La Perna Diner appoints with such attitudes I will definitely not waist my time or my money there again!!!!! Beautiful place with lots of potential but the service is just up to ****.

Most disgusting experience today when La Perna offered us old, cold, dry and stale food "for free" after we waited 90 min for our orders. Needless to say, that was when we left the venue. We should have expected this when they required my 82 yr old mom earlier this week to book a table in person. We thought that we would start my mom's birthday here, and then moved on to a surprise experience, but due to the delay, we missed the rest. And all of this while they target persioners in their promotions.
