10 Degrees South - (404) 705-8870

My husband and I lived in South Africa for two years. We were excited when we read about 10 Degrees South restaurant. We decided to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary there. My husband ordered the Kingklip and loved it--just like when he ordered it in South Africa. I ordered the prawns and was very disappointed. The service was terrible and the restaurant was not even busy. Our waitress would disappear for long periods of time. One waiter did not seem to have anything to do but wander around the restaurant. We had planned to take our children, their spouses, and grandchildren to the restaurant because they had visited us in South Africa. We are not going to waste our money or time to go back.

Run in the opposite direction as fast as you possibly can. Do not even pull into the parking lot. Please promise yourself you won't even look at this restaraunt twice once you realize where it is. If I could give less than 1 star for this I would. First, the lady who seated us in the place had both her eyebrows covered with pieces of paper so that was insanely weird. Second, they only seat you in one section of the place and leave the lights off in all the other sections. There is literally one row of lights on in this huge empty room. Thirdly, the food was awful in every sense of the word. We were only there about 10 minutes, had half of one plate of this mess they called food, then paid them to leave.

I recently went to Ten Degrees South for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff - very hospitable- and the food was delicious. I ordered some appetizers at the bar while waiting for our table and was more than pleased with the martinis and recommendations made by the bartender, Rebecca. We ordered Bobotie, Lamb Chops and the Prawns for dinner and loved them all! The music coming from the lounge/bar area was fantastic and we had such a wonderful evening! Thank you Ten Degrees for getting it right!
