Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a charming owner-run restaurant. All the food was excellent and the owner personally recommended a platter for our table of 5. I would definitely go there again

Our evening started with we fully booked trying to make reservation, phone again they had space, good. We arrived 19h45 and 9 times open, and they did not fill up fir our duration till 21h00. Way over promised, over priced, I had better real Portuguese...food in Porto, and other locations in Portugal. Total disappointment we ordered Champagne OUT OF STOCK, hello then inform your staff specially if your in Hydepark, owner/ manager never visited tables, I give them 1 year and they will be closing doors. Food is average prepared, I had much better close by...... We settled for third best best Champagne a dessert that our grand daughter can prepare better.More

Attentive service and great precautions at 1920. Traditional dishes, an informal convivial atmosphere - the perfect getaway in Johannesburg / Sandton varely 10 / 15 minutes away close to Hyde Park corner.

A vibey restaurant with really good food. The only problem we had is we ordered ice cream and chocolate sauce for desert. The ice cream arrived followed by a bottle of Illovo chocolate sauce! Not the done thing!

I came to the 1920 restaurant on Wednesday, I had a late lunch, the staff was great and the meal was amazing. The road had a leak so one had to move to another table. But what really left a bad taste is to watch...the owner walking pass my table not once or twis, never once did he come to my table to ask how was the meal,saw him go to all other tables. One needs to be very careful of that, as you never know who is seating in your dining room.More

We met friends for a double birthday celebration. Super to have an authentic Portuguese menu with lots of traditional dishes. A refreshing change from the usual fair or inflated pretense of good food. Staff friendly and inviting. A few suggestions: 1. A heads up, tea...totallers also like to see a drinks menu, nowhere could one see a list of non alcoholic beverages 2. Our order was wrong, asked for salmon well cooked and it arrived seared instead; asked for vegetables and did not get them; had to repeat our food order with 2 different waiters. Not the service I was expecting from 1920 3. 2 of the meals arrived for 2 people and 10 minutes later the other 2 dishes arrived for the remaining 2 people. I would have preferred for the 4 of us to eat together. Again not what I expected from 1920More

My inlaws were in town and wanted to take us somewhere nice for dinner. We chose 1920 and it did not disappoint. Our waitress was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious. My mother in law is gluten intolerant and the staff took this seriously. We...will definitely be back. Thank you 1920 for a wonderful evening.More
