We were disappointed with the slow and lackluster service and the quality of the food. The prices are eye watering and not justified. My seafood pasta had pasta which was undercooked. My pet hate is having to peel the prawns in a hot dish, what...a mess. No finger bowl. We had to request the bread and it arrived a very long time later, with no butter. Staff is not attentive and the restaurant seems to cater mainly to tourists. The location and beautiful views are not enough for me to ever go back.More

Excellent restaurant, don't hesitate, go there without any hesitation. The dishes are of exceptional quality, worthy of a starred chef, while being both copious and affordable. We ate so well that we went back a second time, we would have come back a third time...but we had to continue our stay elsewhere...More

The food is really good, with an amazing view over the ocean (where we saw seals during lunch). We had the amazing crayfish, mussels and all other sorts of great seafood. The only negative points would be it’s expensive and gives a bit too much...chique exposure.More

Superamazing experience. World class fine dining, outstanding service, spectacular view. A must for tourists and locals top ten in Cape Town do list. Thank you to General Manager Thabo and his team.More

We stopped by for a drink and enjoyed it so much came back later for dinner It was too cold to sit outside but it was to cold indoors as draughts everywhere The beef spare ribs were very good bu the king clip rather tastelessMore

you cannot beat the location right on the the water. The food was quite good, the service a bit slow but possibly due to a special request that the kitchen had trouble with.More

I actually don't even know where to start with this review. Shocking service and bad management, starters and main courses were not ordered and the food was cold, missing cutlery for meals. Main meal was finished and then the one guest received their main meal...that was not ordered. Fillet asked to be medium came out very well done. The guest opted not to have the fillet as the table had finished eating already and opted to take it home as a takeaway instead and THEN we were charged TWICE for the fillet !! Wine was not topped up and we were not offered any top ups drinks during the course of the evening. One guest did not receive her dessert, we had to ask the waiter and then 10 minutes later go to the kitchen and find out what is happening to be told OUR table ordered all the desserts ( taking into consideration that it was a set menu and placed at the beginning of the evening) and they were "searching" for another one but we had to follow up no one came to the table to update us. Overall a rather embarrassing evening out as we had overseas colleagues with us as well. 13 July (date of dinner) - 28th of August (finally received the voucher) after having to follow up with email upon email. Communications with the manager I am assuming at Kalk Bay to get a refund for the overcharged fillet and a voucher to compensate for the terrible service. We will not be returning to Kalk Bay ! I see there are MANY bad reviews hopefully they read each and everyone one and take into consideration what has been said and make drastic changes in order to try and build up their reputation .More

The food is fine, not amazing but fine, and on the pricey side for South Africa. But worse than the food is the attitude of the staff. We waited almost one hour for our single course meal (four people) . When we flagged to the...waiter that we had time constraints and asked for our food, he said there was a problem with the seafood pasta. So we asked for the other three meals and he went to get them. The next thing we knew, the manager arrived asking 'what's the problem?'. We explained about our time constraints and she said 'your order only went to the kitchen 20 minutes ago'. We told her this was incorrect and she indicated that she believed us to be lying. The food arrived 10 minutes later, we ate, paid and left, never to return.More

Everyone’s heard of Instagram well welcome to Rand-a-Gram. That’s what Harbour House is charging for a steak! In fact it’s probably close to TWO Rand a gram… which is bad enough but then they serve a Well-Done Sirloin instead of the Medium-Rare ordered - NOW...it begins to make more sense…. If they’re serving 2 stakes for every one ordered then they HAVE to charge R500/steak to cover the extra cost! Jokes aside, they’re pricing themselves out of the market - no wonder that the couple who say at the table next to us took one look at the menu and left! Why didn’t the waitress (who was excellent otherwise) offer us the “Winter Specials” menu? I guess we’ll never know because we won’t be returning.More

Very expensive and no kids menu. The manager refused to make something for our 7 year old daughter. She said apparently " head office refuse to make food for kids" Lovely view thoughMore

Brilliant views. Brilliant food - the prawn main course in a spicy butter was simply outstanding. Service was a bit of a let down, especially considering the restaurant was quiet - a long wait to be served and sides not bought out with mains but...don't let that put you off. Really good.More

Came back to Harbour House after not having been here for a few years. The setting is great but unfortunately the quality of the food is not as good as it used to be, the big problem is the not great service though. Had to...wait very long for our food and the waitress was not around much. Seems like a lack of proper management. What a pity.More
