San - Sandton Sun, Johannesburg, Sandton

FJune 2015 - Sadly my recent experience to the establishment was a big let down compred to my visit there a year ago. Their potion sizes have been dramatically reduced. The wonderful large Caesar I had last time is now served in a side dish bowl and still charged at R75. When queried I was informed that they had changed their dishes/sizes. They attempted to redo it but basically put the contents of the small salad on a large plate. The place is fine to sit and work at between meetings (although they are busy with refurbishments, so it is noisy) but I doubt they will see me there for a meal.

June 2014 - This is not the typical place that I would generally go to, but it was surprisingly nice. It's linked to Sandton City and I needed a place to sit and work in between meetings and there was a great quiet area where I could sit at a proper table and work while having lunch.
  
FOOD - Their menu seemed quite limited, but I prefer that than having to trawl through thick menus. Am I right in thinking the thicker the menu the more average the food?

Had the Caesar salad - it was a huge portion and very tasty. Delicious bits and pieces in it that complemented each other wonderfully.

I have also had a wrap there - the chips were amazing, but the wrap nothing really spectacular to write home about - the salad would be my recommendation - especially on a hot day, sitting on the balcony over looking Sandton with a glass of white wine -

DRINKS - this time I only had a white Grapetiser.

SERVICE - Quite good, friendly servers.

VALUE FOR MONEY - Look, it's Sandton so it is bound to be more pricey, but the food was good and the portions decent.

RECOMMENDABLE - Yes. (can get a bit noisy later in the afternoon / early evening)
