I arrived before my wife and upon entering there were 3 people behind the reception desk and they all ignored me. A lady who was mopping the floor came to me and confirmed I could sit outside. When my wife arrived she was handed the...menus and asked to bring them to the table, which my wife commented was sticky and needed a proper cleaning. After waiting 5 minutes or more a waitress came to us and told us we must go to the counter to order our food and go to the counter to collect our food. I'm sure they would have told us this was because of Covid, but we have eaten at many restaurants lately and get the food served at the table. That is better than exposing ourseves by going to a counter. After all this we decided to leave as this is not a restaurant but more a serve yourself takeaway. (I must add that at 13h30 we were the only patrons) After checking tripadviser later we realised we were probably lucky to leave without getting "served". We were staying at the Lodge and had planned to eat there at least a couple of times, but we certainly won't be going back.More

My wife Sharon and I spent a night at the Breede River Lodge in January, which was wonderful, and that evening we had supper at the on-site Pili Pili Restaurant, which was awful. There weren't many options available for supper in Witsand on the Sunday...night we stayed there, so we decided to eat at Pili Pili. Our first observation was how pricey the food on the limited menu was, but as we had already determined that there were no other places to go, we decided to stay. Considering that we were the only customers in the restaurant at the time, the food took quite a while to arrive, and we certainly cannot say that it was worth the wait. I had an extremely bland vegetarian pizza, which cost a whopping R144, and Sharon had Eisbein which she described as dry, hard and tasteless. The Eisbein was served with a small soggy salad which our waitress admitted to us had been prepared earlier that morning, more than eight hours before it was served to Sharon. Needless to say, we did not finish our food, and we did voice our complaints very strongly to our waitress, but whether she passed our comments on to the restaurant manager or not, I do not know. But what I do know is that our first visit to Pili Pili will certainly be our last one, and based on our experience, I would definitely not recommend the restaurant to anyone visiting Witsand.More
