Location is often a major factor when choosing a restaurant, and with this particular establishment nestled by the ocean, my anticipation was high. However, my visit to this restaurant left me feeling greatly disappointed. The combination of lackluster ambiance, slow service, and flavorless food tarnished what could have been an enjoyable dining experience.
Upon entering, the ambiance fell short of my expectations. I had imagined a vibrant and inviting atmosphere that would complement the stunning ocean view. Unfortunately, the reality was quite different. The decor was unremarkable and failed to capture the essence of its coastal surroundings. The overall ambiance lacked the charm and character that one would hope for in such a picturesque location.
Regrettably, the disappointing experience continued with the service. Throughout the evening, the staff seemed overwhelmed and unable to provide efficient service. The wait times were noticeably long, and it felt as if our requests were often overlooked or forgotten. This lack of attentiveness greatly diminished the overall dining experience.
One of the most crucial aspects of any restaurant is the quality and taste of the food. Unfortunately, the dishes served at this establishment failed to impress. The flavors were lackluster and uninspiring, leaving much to be desired. In particular, the Greek salad, which should have been a delightful blend of fresh ingredients, was a mere disappointment. It consisted of nothing more than a basic mix of lettuce and a few scant slices of tomato. The lack of attention to detail in the presentation and the lack of flavor left me unsatisfied and longing for more.
Considering my experience at this restaurant, I find it difficult to recommend it to others. The underwhelming ambiance, slow service, and tasteless food overshadowed its promising location by the ocean. I was left with a sense of dissatisfaction and no desire to return. For those seeking a memorable dining experience, I would suggest exploring other options that offer a more enjoyable ambiance, attentive service, and...
Read moreWhat a beautiful day it was yesterday with my wife's bday, cocktail and a nice beer, stage was set stunning view, we decided to stay for lunch, we took the Hake, Capper and chips with salad. i asked the waiter how is the portions as its R140 a plate and if its not big enough i would rather walk up to spur and would also have an amazing view, she replied portions are good. So i was convinced to stay. Then the food arrive, no option was given for grilled or fried on the fish thats the first, 1 & half piece of hake and 10 chips i actually counted them, the side salad or garnish on the plate is 2 small pieces of lettuce with half a carrot and one slice of cucumber. I was so shocked that i couldn't react to the plate that was just placed in front of me for R140 each. Food was great very tasty fish was soft etc, chips was fresh. but at a R140 with a prime spot like that it was a proper let down. total bill was R 400 and we tipped R50 for the waiter R 450 total. Look at your portions, you can merge your kiddies menu with your main menu and no one would pick up the difference.
Sad to say but this place will only see me for drinks, as the view and...

1st review: "I usually love this place, when i Mosselbay on holiday every December, we support them at least 4-5 times over a 2 week visit. I understand they are busy but today the waitress at the door was extremely rude, she told me they are full, which was obvious to anyone with half a brain. When i asked for a ballpark figure of how long the wait would be after I put down my name , she rudely told me that she cant guess and that i just have to wait till she calls my name and that there are 2 table ahead of me... Sad and pathetic, as we where really looking forward to their calamari and cocktails and would have gladly waited or returned in an hour if the staff had been half decent. Perhaps management should be more involved and choose someone with a sliver of a personality or at least average people skills to recieve their guests...
