Experience the Extraordinary at The Grillroom & Sushi Bar High ceilings, loads of natural light and a fresh warm ambience are the makings of The Grillroom & Sushi, a modern, stylish restaurant which has just opened at Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn in Pretoria. The elegant eatery is perfect for special occasions, romantic dinners and business lunches. The venue is easily accessible, well located and has safe undercover parking within the precinct. Passion on a plate...

Head Chef Jamie Sutherland promises “passion on a plate and a memorable eating experience”. For meat lovers and vegetarians, wine connoisseurs and sushi enthusiasts, the menu boasts a generous selection of modern food with classic overtures.

“A great meal consists of the freshest ingredients. We source our meats, fruits and vegetables from the best local producers,” says Sutherland. “Wine lovers will not be disappointed as our wine list has over 100 of the best South African wines with a selection of award-winning international wines. Our resident sommelier is also on hand to assist diners in pairing wines with their food.

Menu to suit all palatess Chef Jamie says the restaurant caters for all palates. From the Mibrasa oven comes some scrumptious dishes for meat lovers including Lemon and Thyme Roasted Baby Spatchcock, Crispy Pork Belly and good old T-Bone. For those extra special occasions there is some tender Local Wagyu beef and 41-day dry aged Jersey beef from KZN. For vegetarians, the menu delivers carefully chosen favourites, made to perfection - from the refreshing Quinoa Salad to the Creamy Risotto with Shiitake Mushroom, Asparagus & Parmesan to the Mushroom and Camembert for something lighter.

Design and ambience The 250-seater restaurant was designed to offer different experiences for their varied clientele. Whether you’re having a quick business lunch, sundowner drinks, having a relaxed family meal or a sophisticated dinner to celebrate a special occasion, we will make sure your experience with us is a memorable one.

The restaurant patrons are catered for through creative natural demarcations upstairs and downstairs spaces, the outside covered patio areas and the relaxed lounge

area which provides an ambient space to have a pre-dinner drink or end the evening off with a nightcap. The wine room was designed to give you the feeling like you’re in a private tasting room at a wine farm in the heart of the Cape.

The use of warm and inviting colours throughout the restaurant and natural elements like the stone columns and wood cladding add a natural warmth and elegance to the restaurant.

Safety First The restaurant adheres to stringent Covid-19 regulations to ensure the safety of all patrons: -Wearing of masks by all staff -Recording of guest temperatures and contact details upon arrival -Regulated spaced seating according to WHO protocols -Sanitisation of each table before and after each guest -Our menus are sanitised between each patron Regular sanitisation and wipe down of kitchens & bathrooms every 25 minutes.

HEALTH MATTERS

What was your return on your time and effort in 2020?

The year-end holiday is a time of the year where there is an expectation that the past year, and life itself will be celebrated. It is also a time of rewarding oneself for one’s achievements during the past year, and in particular this year known as 2020.

In no one’s wildest imagination would they have thought of planning for what was experienced in 2020. And yet, here we are. Survivors of 2020 and everything she threw at us.

Readers of this platform are frequent travelers, people that enjoy, besides their busy lives, the nice things offered to them. You work hard and play hard. You treat yourselves with a high quality of life and as little stress as possible to allow you to have your dreams fulfilled, but is that the case this year?

Looking back to 1 January 2020, knowing wat you know now, how much would it have helped you to get the input from like-minded people, facing similar if not the same challenges you did? Like-minded people like fellow Business Owners, Managing Directors, General Managers, and other Key Decision Makers? How much more relaxed would you have been? How much more of your dreams would have been fulfilled? How many more Personal Goals would you have achieved, time spent with loved ones, travelling, starting new ventures?

At The Alternative Board® we work with forward-thinking Business Owners and Key Decision Makers like you, in peer boards, helping them identify and achieve their business' true potential so that they may live the quality of life with as little stress as possible to allow them to have their dreams fulfilled.

We do this by bringing together Business Owners and Key Decision Makers, from non-competing industries, in a confidential and small group setting, similar to a board of directors for large businesses, assisting each other to address real-life challenges and opportunities we each face in our businesses. You might ask why we do this, and what the benefit could be to Business Owners and Key Decision Makers?

The concept of an alliance of Business Owners and other high-powered peers was introduced in the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.

Frankly speaking and quoting Hill, “No individual (not even you and me) has sufficient experience, education, native ability and knowledge to insure the accumulation of a great fortune, without the cooperation of other people”.

If you think you have the answer, seeing it only through your own eyes, “you should know that you're terribly handicapped”. To quote Ray Dalio – “If you're truly looking at things objectively, you must recognize that the probability of you always having the best answer is small and that, even if you have it, you can’t be confident that you do before others test you. So it is invaluable to know what you don't know. Ask yourself: Am I seeing this just through my own eyes? If so, then you should know that you're terribly handicapped.”

Why would you not consider getting advice from high-powered peers?

Our model has proven successful in 21 countries over 30 years and is rated number 1 in the world for the past 3 years by Entrepreneur Inc. Magazine.

For a personal introduction to The Alternative Board® in South Africa, contact us at admin@thealternativeboard.za.com, and end 2021 how you chose to.
