John Dory's at Golden Horse Casino in Pietermaritzburg has earned a good reputation for its seafood, sushi, and family oriented atmosphere.
It is known for its friendly and vibrant staff, and attentive managers.
The food is well-received with a varied assortment, generous portions and quick turnaround time. Think perfectly cooked prawns, sushi platters, and even hearty steaks.
They also make a great kingklip thermidor and a scrumptious seafood platter, and some good options for vegetarians too.
They have a half price select sushi menu on Wednesdays, which draws in the crowds, adding to the vibe and overall ambiance of a popular seafood restaurant.
It has a good vibe and moderate pricing, making it a popular spot for casual lunches, dinners or special occasions.
Birthday dinners are especially fun here with all the waitrons getting together in a collective jovial spirit to sing their unique version of happy birthday, complete with a complimentary ice cream sundae.
Overall, John Dorys offers a consistently good...
Read moreProbably my worst restaurant meal in Pmb, let alone at John Dorys. No service to speak of. Out of stock of bottled water...? Stoney gingerbeer..no stock Wine glass delivered to the table steaming HOT, although the water glass was ice cold....so it is possible to serve chilled glasses. Poke bowl did not look like the picture....not even close, no wasabi, short of the puffed things, miniscule amount of kewpi mayo, hardly any Avo, but TONS OF RICE. The dimsung platter, the two buns were good, but the accompanying wontons etc were BURNT, so burnt as to be inedible. We were served 8, half ate 2(one each), sent the balance back for replacement only to get our replacements 45 min later, well after we had finished our meal, but here's the real niggle, only 4 served and no dipping sauce. No sign of supervision, no one checked on us, we had to continually call service to our table for serviettes, cutlery, more ice etc etc.
Sadly after 3 near misses and one dead central failure, we won't be back to...
Read moreI went out with a friend last night to John Dorys. I must say I was very disappointed. I ordered the Kingklip. For the price I paid for my meal it was not worth it at all. I'm not sure if I was served the left over bits cause it was close to closing time. There were no wet wipes on the table to wipe out hands. My friend had the platter and had to ask for the bowl of water to was his hands after eating the prawns. He had not finished his meal and the waitress took the side plate away when she collected my empty plate. I've eaten at Golden Horse branch before and the portions are filling to the extent that one can take a doggie bag home. I've also eaten at Liberty Mall and have had generous portions.
There were no applet user or grapetisers in stock.
Unfortunately, I don't have the receipt but I'm sure you can preciew the camera to verify what I am saying.
Whilst I understand that was late and staff were tired that cannot be an excuse caise they work shifts.
Please do...
