“Really disappointed with the food - we shared the braai platter but it tasted like food that had been cooked, cooled and then reheated. The Superfood salad was ok, but they don’t keep balsamic vinegar which is strange. The only thing good about the food was the chips. The view is nice, chairs are pretty uncomfortable.”

“Fantastic birthday treat for my husband last night. The waitress was attentive, polite and friendly. The food was hot, fresh and tasty and the ambience in the restaurant was a lovely chilled out vibe. It was our first visit after our friends recommended it and we can't wait to come back! Thank you!”

“We visited for breakfast for the third time this morning and the food and service is always consistently good. It's a very attractive restaurant with lovely views over the marina. I really appreciate that there are clearly marked vegan options on the menu and even better, they are bloody delicious!”
- Olivia Butler
“Beautiful place, lovely food. Went for breakfast and there were lots of options, though mainly your stereotypical breakfast options: full english style, forms of egg, avocado and salmon on toast. What they sell is delicious though. And I would thoroughly recommend their smoothies Also the view is absolutely incredible and there’s a little cat you might meet in the marina”

“Although we were informed that food would take longer than usual, an hours wait is not really acceptable. They were short staffed as they had a big group of people, either get more staff or keep the restaurant closed for others. I go here quite often, but was thoroughly disappointed this time, food portion was also less compared to other times I have been here. They give more calamari than this, on pointing it out they took of 25pc off the cost of Calamari (£2) as a good will gesture 🙄🙄🙄. I mean 1 hr wait and food served with unreasonable portions, think they could have done better as way of apologize”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come for the view over the marina, with yachts in sight from the outdoor tent and a lovely outlook even in the rain. The food draws vary: the sea bass, mint lamb and malva pudding with pistachio ice cream earn praise, and one diner calls the ribs the most chosen dish at their table, though the main portion is huge. Breakfast brings repeat visits, with full English style plates, smoothies and clearly marked vegan options described as delicious. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, and one reviewer liked that the restaurant is dog friendly. The kitchen draws real criticism, though. The braai platter split opinion, described as juicy by one table and as cooked, cooled and reheated by another. One diner found the menu more European than South African, and another called the chairs uncomfortable. A regular described a long wait when a big group came in, then a smaller calamari portion, and felt the restaurant's goodwill gesture of taking a portion off its cost fell short of an apology.
