The atmosphere was amazing, the staff very attentive and really fast.
I wanted some caviar and they were sweet enough to give me a small portion at a reasonable price.
Ordered the salmon roses and they were delicious. My husband had the scallop starter and it was perfect, not over cooked and so it was pleasant and not chewy or bouncy.
We shared the whole fish of the day and it was perfection. Perfectly grilled, well seasoned and flaky. Couldn’t fault it. Although, I wish they served it with varied vegetables and not just peppers with zucchini.
The desert was okay. He had the chocolate strawberry mousse and if you like a deconstructed Watergate salad, then it was spot on. It was not as light and fluffy as you’d expect a mousse.
Overall, enjoyed ourselves and would come back. So definitely recommend.

The seats were not full at all and I have no idea why it...

I search high and low for good sushi and bao buns, and Donkiesbaai easily has the best in town. The service was great from the start! It was our anniversary, and the waiters decorated our table with little flowers, and we got congratulations written in chocolate on our desert plates. The waitress, Helen, was a gem and took really good care of us, and the atmosphere was really lovely. We...
