Quite expensive, but good food in a smart place. It is near to the rather Las Vegas-like development and mall, near to the beach.

I know this lady far away named Ginger. The logo/sign for this great restaurant is worth the trip. I loved the food; enjoyed a great wine list; and appreciated the prompt, excellent, service but have to say I've never seen a better designed name/logo than Ginger's on the ocean front in Port Elizabeth. That's right; some of us go for... More

A gem of a restaurant located on the waterfront in PE. Service was top notch, with friendly waiters who accommodated our early arrival without a fuss. The food was very good, everyone enjoyed their meals, though I found the vegetarian main a tad salty. All dishes were reasonably priced, no complaints there. Though it was a wet and rainy evening...

I enjoyed the steaks. The service was very friendly and also offered blankets when we got a little bit cold sitting outside on the terrace. It is just across the boardwalk entrance, but it does not disturb as the area is nicely separate.

We celebrated my husbands Mom's 90th birthday at the Ginger Restaurant. We were put in a seperate conference room from the main dining room, which lacked warmth and a celebratory feeling. Service was fair, but I was not too impressed with the main meal, it was not a meal I would recommend - I had the Duck, which had a... More

The food was good and presented very nicely. The atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant and very clean. It also had a wonderful ocean view. Definitely worth going to.

Like a previous reviewer, this restaurant was recommended to us by Wendy at Manor 38. The restaurant was quite busy on a Sunday night and seemed to be understaffed. Service was quite slow and we had to flag down our waitress on a couple of occasions to remind her of things (like bringing the 2nd bottle of wine that we... More

About a year ago they had a new chef and there was butter on everything. This time the food was cleaner and fresher. I really enjoyed my fresh fish.
