We visited our favorite restaurant in Plett after a break of almost two years. As usual, the food and service was above average. This time we only had pasta, pizza and seafood, but as usual the food was excellent. As an added bonus, the restaurant...had since been renovated after an apparent fire some time ago. What a beautiful setting. Highly recommended.More

We cane the first time and was served by Tracey - amazing waiter and very good service. When we returned we were served by Primrose and she was just as fantastic. These ladies makes your business so unique and definitely one for the books. We...will definitely visit every time we are down here for a holiday. They make you wish that you resided here permanently so that you can come here every week and enjoy their great service. The food was also magnificent. Not even disappointed once!!!! Well done guysMore

Though we would try this lovely location as we had many great meals at other spots in the area. By far the worst we have tried, left feeling they robbed us after those burgers and Espetada. Went no fish option as there was no power...but should not have even come here at all. Great location and the service was “meh” ok. The food and pricing for it was terrible. Espetada is supposed to have bay leaves and coarse salt, not bbq basting dripping off it. When I pay R165 and R155 for a burger I rightfully expect something a lot better than this.More

On holiday from the UK. This place is a gem. Great view over Central Beach wherever you sit and great chilled vibe. Friendly, welcoming and hard working staff, great range of food and drinks. Loved the pizza choices e.g. the Magic Carpet (curried chicken with...banana), and the calamari. We went there for lunch twice during days at the beach. On our second visit, the relatively new manager was doing a walk around and he sounded like he has some great experience in hospitality to keep this place as fab as we found it.More

Advertised locally offered what we understood to be an amazing prawn offer. Huge prawns that you can order as many as you like. Called ahead for price as omitted from advertisement and told R30 per prawn. Arrived to discover that not actually the case but...R30 for Thursday offer only for six basically medium sized prawns - each. Disappointed as locals wanted to support local business. Staff very excited they could close early due to load shedding. Nice view over central beach.More

It’s really busy in Plett now and to find a restaurant that is welcoming, has well trained staff and serves delicious food in good time, is rare. We loved the Seafood Espetada and our ice cold drinks. Loved the stunning view and left very happy....Thanks MibysMore

We went for drinks on Friday afternoon and stayed for an early dinner - hake and chips for hubby and sole and rice for me. It was so good that we went back on Saturday and we then both had sole. Note that I really...don't like fish, so this is how much I enjoyed the sole. The service is also great and the pricing reasonable. Of course you can't beat the view.More
