It's OK. The atmosphere was pretty nice. The overall place is nice. They were a bit slow on the service, and their smoking section isn't properly sealed off. We sat in the crossdraft filled with smoke and it persisted even after I asked them to keep the smoking section's door closed. Wasn't fun with a baby in the smoke. Food was OK, but not good. I had the seafood Platter For One. Mussles were OK. Fish was a bit on the dry side. Prawns flavour was great (really great), but grilled a bit too long, so they turned dry and rubbery. The squid heads were completely unseasoned. Deep fried in a crispy batter, but too oily on the plate. Again, no flavour on the calamari, tasted just like oil and plain flour batter. The lemon butter sauce came in a tiny little bowl (nowhere near enough for the meal) and thickened up to a jelly-like consistency by the time it got to me, showing it's made with too much flour to thicken it quickly. I will rather spend the money at Ocean Basket, where the food is not the best, but at least better value for money.

Incredible restaurant with great service. It's right by the beach. Watched the Springbok's world cup semifinal here and it was a great atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend it.

Honestly such a nice spot. The place is great to go have a drink with your family and to have some authentic KZN seafood. Their platter for one is a deal that not even your typical ocean basket can compete with. Overall their food taste great, their prices are reasonable and the view is stunning if you sit outside. It's not your fine dining experience but it's a place where you can relax and kick back while you look at the ocean. The inky downside is that you can expect to wait a little longer than usual for your food but hey at least they have the decency to warn you about this beforehand so that you dont sit there in anticipation. Their 5 star rating is definitely deserved.

Lovely sea food, lovely sea breeze from the ocean, and excellent view of the nature (wild waves, and the long range view of its calmness and blueness). Perfect place to sit and unwind while enjoying a meal.
