The manager is ill-mannered, rude and obnoxious to say the least. Not only does he shouts at his waiters he actually asked us to leave as he needs the table for other customers - while we were still busy with our meal and was about to order our dessert. I'll never go back!!!

I went to the Meat Co. last night for dinner and was served by a waitress named Mavis - her service was impeccable. I have no complaints and was truly satisfied with her service !!

As the planner for our corporate company dinners, it is always with trepidation when i book a large group at a restaurant, but we had the most professional service at this restaurant. everything was handled extremely well. We were given a private room to ourselves and even had personized menus. Very refreshing experience.

We are difficult for ladies and at yesterdays lunch we asked for a lot of changes to the menu. Well done to management for being so understanding on what I could see was a very busy Sunday lunch. keep it up, we will definitely be back.

The manager on duty (unfortunately no name badge) on Saturday night (6th July) was RUDE and ARROGANT. We arrived at 18h00 and was told the restuarant was fully booked. He was blatantly RUDE and ARROGANT and did us a HUGE favour by seating us in a dingy corner.We left without ordering and went to ALLORA at Bedford Centre where we enjoyed a FIRST CLASS dining experience. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THE MEAT CO.

Bad experience 1.7.2009 Sat & waited for 15 minutes before order was taken. A couple who arrived after us were served first. Beers ordered by my husband - 2 tasted like vinegar & the 3rd expired April, 2009. My son order Sirlion 0 Med; my husband Rump Med Rare. They put their sauces (different) on steaks given to them & my son had my husbands steak & visa versa. My husband asked for tomato sauce & we are still waiting. There was a chip out of my glass, but as the glasses are frosted and I only saw it after I had drunk half a glass. This was the worst experience I have had at your restuarant.

I agree with jennifer the steaks at meat co melrose are great and the same waiters have been their for ages which allows them to really be clued up. Love the idea of the knives as a marketing gimmick. Keep it up

Karibu "Karibu is one of my favourite restaurants to pop in for a dinner that never disappoints. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed with a distinct South African feel that's both elegant and upmarket. The service is friendly and efficient - I always rely on the manager (Bruce) for meal recommendations which thus far has been spot-on, yet I'm sure the menu as a whole is good......"
