Fakhra ALJuly 8, 2018The platter was great , it was a bit from everything, great for sharing. We took two different platters was good for 4 people. Grilled calamari was more delicious than the fried one. Loved everything!

Dee HDecember 4, 2016The view, the drinks, the service and food were outstanding! Small plates (bar menu) shrimp and calamari were delicious. Perfect for a quick pick me up snack.

!:gem:!January 18, 2020Starter Seafood Stack was beautiful to look at and supremely fresh to the palate. Sat in ‘the box’ on the dock and it was a delightfully windy experience. Great service and reasonable prices.UpvoteDownvote- Beatrice ChanJuly 22, 2014Great place for dinner. Go for the fish or sushi - excellent. I like going there in winter underneath the heaters on the top deck. Great views over the marina and lovely service. Good hot chocolate!UpvoteDownvote
Yajna GoldMarch 22, 2016Cannot get any better! The gnocchi starter is incredible, full of flavour, prawns great too and then the SALMON on a bed of spinach with citrus sauce and potatoes! Absolutely exquisite!UpvoteDownvote- Yajna GoldMarch 13, 2014The potato bake infused with rosemary was beautiful so was the line fish! (can't remember which but the food here is quite exceptional in general) Everything was prepared in a rich, gourmet style!UpvoteDownvote

Lindsey WarrenOctober 16, 2015The sushi was fine, the view from the deck was great and they have a good selection of beer that is not Peroni or Castle.

Driaan JordaanNovember 11, 2018Upmarket seafood restaurant in Cape Town overlooking the harbour. For the best views, opt for the seating area upstairs.UpvoteDownvote
Geraldine TohJuly 13, 2015Mussel is superb!! Can't forget the taste, but the bacon salads comr without bacon but after we spoke to the waitress they solved it, service is good.UpvoteDownvote- Yajna GoldMarch 19, 2014Unusual starter: avo ritz... basically raw avo and prawn salad... nit my favourite though. ..

Tim LloydFebruary 17, 2016The menu is a little overwhelming. Ask for some seafood platters to share if there's four or more in your partyUpvoteDownvote
Leticia LiraDecember 26, 2016A little bit noisy bur the staff and the food are very good!

Percy FerraoMarch 16, 2015Seafood pasta was great. Not the best I have had but quite nice. Pasta perfectly cookedUpvoteDownvote
DensFebruary 20, 2015Was highly rec'd, but we thought it was just "eh". Normally don't leave so-so Foursquare tips, but you can do better. Maybe skip the meal and get a cocktail on the deck.Upvote1Downvote
Irene LApril 22, 2014Try the Angelfish...the house salad is so fresh...but be patient as the food takes a whileUpvoteDownvote
Clive LabandMarch 4, 2022Took ages to order and receive. Asked for bill, which didn’t arrive. Threat of leaving with our address & contact details so that they could deliver the bill produced any results. Appalling service.Upvote1Downvote
Simon PerepelitsaDecember 22, 2019Rack of lamb (500 rand) is just 3 lamb chops. Tasty, but way too small.UpvoteDownvote
Peter PreislerDecember 22, 2018Looks like a great place from the outside but it really isn’t. The food is mediocre and the service inattentive at best. You can do better- even at the Waterfront.UpvoteDownvote
R892 for the seafood platter for 2 isn't worth it ! Dinner for 2 with 1 bottle white wine for R1200 makes this place rather expensive for what you get.UpvoteDownvote
Peter GieseOctober 17, 2016We had a very, very slow kitchen: 1 full hour to bet the starters...UpvoteDownvote
