We were disappointed with many aspects of the Breakfast, and were able to share the feedback with Restaurant Manager Dylan van Blerk.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I have been to The Silo Hotel six times now, twice for dinner at The Granary Caf\u00e9, twice for lunch at The Silo Rooftop, and once in The Granary Caf\u00e9 for an excellent Afternoon Tea.

We had not made a reservation, but at 10h00 this was not a problem, with only one other table with guests. I noticed immediately that a leopard print couch had been removed, and more tables had been added in its place. On our first visit to The Granary Caf\u00e9 at the beginning of March we had noticed the couch, and felt that it jarred with the rest of the decor, and it worried us that the seating space may have been too restricted. That concern has now been removed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kudchi had served me both at The Silo Rooftop and the Afternoon Tea, and was efficient in fetching and carrying what we needed and requested, but was not proactive in a number of respects. I was &nbsp;surprised when Kristi came to greet me as if we knew each other, and she introduced herself as the Breakfast Manager, having previously worked at The Royal Portfolio properties of Liz Biden, i.e. Birkenhead House and the apartment at the One &amp; Only. Given that she carries the title of Manager, we were surprised at her dress, which did not match that of the other managers, who wear navy blue blazers. She just wore a white shirt, sneakers, and Levi Jeans, the latter a standard issue for all staff at the hotel. The waitresses wear waistcoats over their white shirts, and look far smarter than Kristi did. &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-87343\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/17818813_401354306917309_8116287149080313856_n-300x300.jpg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/17818813_401354306917309_8116287149080313856_n.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/17818813_401354306917309_8116287149080313856_n.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/17818813_401354306917309_8116287149080313856_n.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/17818813_401354306917309_8116287149080313856_n.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/17818813_401354306917309_8116287149080313856_n.jpg?resize=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/17818813_401354306917309_8116287149080313856_n.jpg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>Kristi proactively told us that she only works in the mornings, having a baby at home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kudchi took our cappuccino orders, and brought us a beetroot, apple, and ginger juice, while Kristi brought a stand with a number of items (photograph above), which she called the <i>&#8216;Harvest Table&#8217; <\/i>(it was placed on a small side table alongside our table).

The dessert spoon was so large that one could not eat with it nor rest it in the bowl, as it fell out of it. The muesli, berries, and yoghurt containers had no spoons in them with which to dish out of the containers, so we shook the contents into our bowls. The salmon, charcuterie, fruit, and cheese containers had forks, once again too big to not have the danger of them falling off the dishes or stand. Cake forks would have been more suited for this. We found that the Buddha teaspoons were also not aligned to the Mervyn Gers cups and saucers, and a teaspoon fell onto the table when the waitress collected an empty cup from the table (without checking if we would like another cup of coffee).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We did not see Kristi for a long time after this, and we were left in the care of Kudchi, who took our cooked egg order.
