A Scam!

Initially I called the restaurant to book a table at 1pm, the time I would be done with my first tour of the day and before the second one, so timing was a bit tight. The restaurant said they were fully booked for the day but I could come on a walk-in basis, but I didn't want to risk. I then went to TripAdvisor to see what they had. In TripAdvisor they advertised a table at Lookout Cafe for the exact date and time I needed. Unfortunately they didn't offer the program for one person, I booked the program for two anyway. Being suspicious that they offered what the restaurant said they didn't have I called the restaurant to check if they confirmed that reservation for which I gave all the details. They said they didn't have any reservation for that company and details. I contacted the local tour operator I booked via TripAdvisor and mentioned this to them. They said they found this strange but said not to worry because they had everything in hands. So I did. As I had a driver for the day I said I would meet their representative at the restaurant. He was there, a little bit delayed. For my surprise he direct me to the walk-in desk (hey! Were we not supposed to have a table reserved as promised by them many times?). I waited for 30 minutes and no table came up and I had to give up because I didn't want to risk my next program and was very upset with their deception (not to say scam). Look at the situation: 1) They don't make any reservation, it's the same situation as if I show up there by myself. 2) They charge 210.00 USD, for two persons, even if it one person only, I doubt a meal for two persons would cost as much directly at the restaurant. At the restaurant, after 30 minutes wait, I filmed and described the situation, with the operator representative by my side as a proof of what was going on. Later they emailed me saying that they reported me to the police because I made the film. Conclusion: 1) Never book this program at Trip Advisor, it's a scam and they should remove it from their site, big SHAME for Trip Advisor for having it. listed. 2) The name of the local operator is Revival Safaris and Tours - Avoid them at all costs. 3) Finally, per obvious, I demand the money I paid, refunded to me immediately.

We sincerely apologize for the frustration, disappointment, and inconvenience you experienced during your attempted visit to Lookout Café. We understand that you had a very tight schedule between tours and had specifically arranged your booking to fit within that limited time. We are particularly sorry that, despite being assured that your reservation had been taken care of, you were directed to the walk-in desk and ultimately had to leave after waiting for approximately 30 minutes. We fully appreciate how upsetting this must have been, especially after you had taken the additional step of contacting the restaurant beforehand to verify the reservation. We also regret the distress caused by the subsequent communication regarding the filming of the situation. We understand that, from your perspective, the circumstances were extremely frustrating. Please be assured that we take the concerns you have raised very seriously. We will conduct a thorough investigation into what happened, including the booking arrangements, communication with the restaurant, the service provided by the local representative, and the circumstances surrounding your visit. We want to establish clearly what transpired and address any shortcomings identified. We are truly sorry that your experience fell so far short of what you expected and that your visit to Victoria Falls was affected by this situation. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. Kind regards,

Superb location

Second time lucky

Went for dinner and made the mistake of going after dark. No moon so pitch dark outside. Food and service was great. Went back the next day for lunch and could enjoy the snack platter for 2 on the terrace while enjoying the lovely views. Modern setting with a feel of class.

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for giving Lookout Café a second chance! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food and service during your dinner visit, even though the darkness meant you couldn’t appreciate the views as much as you had hoped. We’re especially pleased that you returned the following day for lunch and were able to enjoy the spectacular scenery from the terrace. It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed the snack platter for two and appreciated the modern setting and elegant atmosphere. There really is something special about experiencing Lookout Café in daylight, with the Victoria Falls Gorge views providing such a beautiful backdrop. Thank you for visiting us twice during your stay and for sharing your experience with fellow travellers. We hope to welcome you back again—perhaps next time for a daytime visit with plenty of sunshine and spectacular views!

Sensational views

Great views of the river, very good menu choice. We chose Ribs chips & salad, Very nice & tasty, good serving. T bone steak medium rare chips & salad, unfortunately the steak was more on the rare stage. Our waitress as if we wanted tomato sauce, yes please for my chips, unfortunately it never arrived. We ordered a bottle of rose, she brought it with two champagne glasses, luckily the lady who came to open the wine asked her to get two wine glasses, they came but with droplets 0f water inside??? Dessert was a choc orange mouse, more like a small slice of cake with a cream mixture on top. Also a carrot cake, good size serving but dry.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your visit to Lookout Café. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the sensational views, our menu selection, and particularly the ribs, chips and salad. We are, however, sorry that several aspects of your meal and service did not meet the standard we aim to provide. We understand your disappointment with the T-bone steak being served rarer than requested, the tomato sauce not arriving, and the incorrect glassware for your wine. Receiving glasses that still had droplets of water is also certainly not the presentation standard we expect. We also appreciate your comments regarding the desserts, including the chocolate-orange mousse and carrot cake. Feedback on portion, texture, presentation and quality is important to us and will be shared with the relevant team for review. We will use your comments to investigate what may have happened during your visit and to reinforce the importance of attention to detail across both our kitchen and service teams. Thank you again for your honest and constructive feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide an experience that matches the spectacular setting of Lookout Café. Warm regards,

The worst steak ever

They view and venue is fantastic but do not have the steak as it is the worst I have had in years. It was all grissle and should never have been served. The staff took ages to get drinks and basically not available.

Operator response

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the fantastic views and venue at Lookout Café, but we are genuinely sorry that the quality of your meal and the service fell short of expectations. We particularly regret your experience with the steak. We understand that receiving a cut that was excessively tough or gristly is disappointing, and we agree that every dish served should meet the appropriate quality standards. We will raise your comments with the relevant team and investigate what may have happened with the preparation and quality control on the day of your visit. We are equally sorry about the delay in receiving your drinks and the lack of attentiveness from the service team. This is not the level of hospitality we want our guests to experience, and your feedback will be reviewed with the team. Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention. We hope you will give us another opportunity in the future to provide the quality of food and service that matches the spectacular setting. Warm regards,
