Family dinner at Tsunami

Janine's family was in town this last weekend and as I am such an important part of her life, she asked me to join them for dinner on Saturday eve at Tsunami at the Rosebank Mall. I was honoured.



Tsunami was chosen for a number of reasons:
  • It has an extensive seafood menu
  • It's relatively quiet (in terms of noise)
  • It's close
Unsurprisingly, we all ordered seafood dishes and settled in for the evening. And while the service was satisfactory and the food was great at reasonable prices (you can get a massive seafood potjie for 80 bucks), there was just one problem: whilst cracking open your crab and enjoying that glass of chenin blanc, you are subjected to the unmistakable crooning of Celine Dion and/or 'saxophone-like' noise, as Janine's dad so eloquently put it. Our ears bled. Thank the heavens we had enough wine around the table to make the screeching more bearable.

But while you have been warned, this one flaw should not put you off the restaurant altogether. The food really was good and apparently the sushi is excellent, which I still need to try, Celine Dion or not.
