Kingfisher Restaurant — Restaurant in George

Got at the restaurant asking if the half price sushi special was on as it was still between 5 & 6pm and I know on Mondays when they have the sushi buffet they don't do the half price, but this not being a Monday I asked in case of something else being on I got told that the special is only for regulars at the restaurant, after being in Mosselbay for 4 weeks and coming here once a week I'd consider myself as a "regular". Speaking to another waitress about it I told her this she told me the special is only for the locals, so being here 4 weeks doesn't qualify me for that then either? And being by myself is not having to give a group of people the special, only me, but anyways, I just left it

So being upset with their attitude I wanted to leave but decided that I'll have some sushi because the sushi here is great and didn't want to miss out on the good sushi because the staff made me feel "unwelcome" if I can put it like that.

The sushi was great, as usual. But then I ordered the Seafood curry which I didn't like, I understand people have different tastes so I won't complain, what did put me off was that when I bit into a mussel it wasn't cleaned properly and put me off of having the eat the rest of the curry.

My first experience here was great, I had the sushi special and the service was excellent.

The second week was the sushi buffet but I felt like having something else so I took a seafood platter which was also great, the service was meh but who cares if you have a good view and good food.

The 3 week I wanted to have the special on the sushi again but being a Monday and them having the sushi buffet they didn't have the half price sushi and me having loads of work still to do didn't want to wait until 6 for the buffet to start so I had the Seafood platter again, this time it wasn't as good as the previous week, the prawns want as fresh but it didn't put me off as I've had worse at other places and it's not something big to me, the sauce that came with was also not as nice, but not had overall and the service was great

So for someone not being a local and not going there regular enough to be qualified as eitherI know a little bit about the food and the service, but thank you for pointing...

We had high expectations which unfortunately were not met. The pina colada tasted like a premix syrup over crushed ice. The starter of snails in garlic sauce was not very good. The snails themselves were fine but the garlic sauce had an incredible amount of huge chunks of raw garlic.

I had the seafood curry for mains, which was a bit bland and quite oily. It also states it comes with prawns but it came with 1 prawn on top which was very hard to deshell. My partner had the surf and turf and the steak was the tastiest thing of the evening. Since the combo comes with just a small amount of mussels (which is the only representation of ‘surf’ on the plate) he opted to top up with a portion of prawns which unfortunately had the same issue of not being easy to deshell.

Service was friendly but slow. We felt neglected a few times and had to grab our own serviettes from a nearby table as we were given a total of one (1) serviette. Much later after asking, we received more. There were long periods where we had used plates and empty glasses just standing on the table, and no drinks. It was not easy to get our waiters attention to assist in more drinks or the clearing of the table

I ordered a small sushi plate with the main meal. This only arrived about 15 min after we were done with mains. Judging by the temp of the sushi, i predict it had been standing (forgotten) on the pass for a while.

Overall we were disappointed and felt like it was an expensive mistake. Unfortunately i believe we might have had a better (and cheaper) experience at...

Worst restaurant ever! We thought nothing as we entered the Kingfisher restaurant last week and someone came out muttering "don't go in there" - Now we understand. We ordered a fish platter for two, a soup and a fish fillet with fries. After having to wait over an hour for the food, we noticed that the fish platter was only lukewarm (but due to the waiting time, we didn't want to return it). In addition, it was extremely fatty and didn’t taste good at all, we felt like we were in a fast food restaurant only without the „fast“. The soup was completely oversalted, so it was inedible. The drinks were brought together with very dirty glasses, so we had to drink from the can. Since we were sitting at the bar, we could see that other tables also received dirty glasses. The bottle of water we ordered had a small leak at the bottom so water was leaking out. When we complained about all these inconveniences, the service staff only said "ok" completely unenthusiastically without apologizing or reducing the bill. We will never go to this...
