Due to its intimate proportions, Basalt has become on of my favourite eating out venues during lockdown. Fantastic atmosphere and friendly serving staff, albeit a little scarce when you need them - however they instantly improved when alerted to this.
The food is the main drawing card with its the simple menu comprising of well thought out dishes for every palate - it's not uncommon to be enjoying your meal while having food envy for the other dishes on the table. A very nice touch was a visit from the head chef (Feni Malebye-Lutalo), who has outdone herself since taking the helm.
Basalt is on the higher end of the price scale but well worth it if you're looking for a great fine dining experience. Highly recommended.

Awesome menu that made it very difficult to choose my three courses. The food was spectacular and I will definitely be going back for another meal. Thank you chef Feni for the great food! Service from the front of house was slightly dissapointing as we were left for extended periods of time without being checked on.

It was truly amazing! I can not fault any course - the fish starters were amazing, the vegetarian dishes that my wife had were great...but the star for was the fillet dish! Head Chef Feni Malebye-Lutalo checked on us regular, more people need to go to Basalt!
