This restaurant is our favourite in Plett. My husband takes me there for my birthday/anniversary and it is always the best. David is a fantastic chef and Marion a delightful host, the staff are courteous and always make you feel special by remembering you. Their crepes suzettes are to die for, well done David and Marion keep up the good... More

Ate here late in the season and had a fantastic time, you can tell why it is Plett's longest running establishment. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly, as Cleo says 'sharing is caring'. We had the restaurant almost to ourselves and the food was excellent. We started off with oysters from Mossel Bay and I had some fantastic sole and... More

There isn't really much I can add to the two latest reviews. We too thoroughly enjoyed the service and the friendly waitress was professional and willing. Unfortunately although it was a Saturday evening the restaurant was almost empty so there wasn't much ambiance. We enjoyed our meals and would go back if ever we were in the area again.

We had the misfortune of dining in this un-conditioned basement for dinner. The starters were unremarkable and bland and all 3 of our mains were inedible. We did not want to make a fuss, did not complain but wanted to pay and leave as quickly as possible. A woman who I can only assume was the owner came over to... More

I assume the reviewer was the middle-aged, heavily-smoking member of the party, with the paper Japanese fan? Pity you did not say you had a problem, we could have seated you close to one of our 2 aircons or on the patio , seeing it was such a beautiful evening. Strangely, I do not recall even speaking to you once... More

I had oysters to start. They were ok. Then both my wife and i had the bouillabaise. We found it bland and no where fishy enough. Pleasant service but helter skelter decor.

Excellent food, refined atmosphere, decent wine list, attentive service. Had oysters & crawfish (which for North Americans is the size of a rock lobster not shrimp-size).

The restaurant is situated in the centre of Plettenberg Bay, and has a lovely ambience when you enter. One of us wanted a Rib Eye Steak but unfortunately they had sold out, so they had fish, also two more of us had fish and we all enjoyed the meal, One had the Duck which they thought was average. A nice... More
