The high tea here is a proper treat. Got a good mix of sweet and savoury bites, and they swapped the savouries for veggie ones without any fuss. Service was friendly the whole way through. Terrace has a killer sea view too. Just wish the scones came out a bit warmer, but that&#39;s me being picky.

Had lunch here with a couple of friends and honestly the view alone is worth it 🌊 We grabbed a table by the window and just sat there chatting way longer than we should&#39;ve. Food was solid, nothing mind-blowing but tasty enough. Service was fine, not too pushy. Would come back just for the relaxed vibe honestly.

The seating is super comfortable, which honestly made us want to stay longer. The veggie options were proper dishes, not just an afterthought. Left full and happy.

Stopped here after a round and sat outside&mdash;the golf course view is honestly the highlight. Clubhouse itself is pretty nice too. I had the chicken dish and it was solid, though nothing mind-blowing. My friends enjoyed theirs as well. Decent spot if you&#39;re already in the area, but I wouldn&#39;t go out of my way.

Stopped by for a slice of cake and coffee. Big portions, that&#39;s for sure. Place was quiet enough to sit and relax for a bit. Staff were friendly, didn&#39;t rush me. Cake was good, not too sweet. Fine spot if you&#39;re in the area and need a break.

Came here for a quick bite after walking around the Pearl. The hazelnut latte was solid, and the avocado toast hit the spot. Place has that modern, open feel you don&#39;t always get in malls. Service was friendly enough. Only thing is the seating could be a bit more comfy if you&#39;re planning to stay a while.

The sushi was spot on, and that mojito paired perfectly with the prawn pasta. A bit noisy inside, but the breeze outside helps.

Stopped by for a chocolate croissant and honestly it was still warm. Flaky, buttery, the chocolate actually melted through it. Coffee was decent too. Place has that laid-back beach feel, easy to just sit and chill for a while. Wish I lived closer, honestly.

The flat white here was properly made, not too hot, good crema. I sat by the window and just watched the sea for a while, no rush. Pastry was fine, flaky enough. Service was friendly, didn&#39;t hover. Only thing is the seats are a bit hard after an hour, but that&#39;s minor. I&#39;d come back for the coffee alone.

Stopped at the Ballito branch last week. Food was consistent, better than some other spots I&#39;ve tried nearby. Staff were friendly and didn&#39;t keep me waiting long. Solid option if you&#39;re in the area and want a reliable meal without fuss.

Came for breakfast and really liked the vibe inside. Cozy seating, easy to relax. Food was fresh and nicely plated. Only thing is it looks out at the parking lot, but that didn&#39;t bother me much.

Buffet spread was solid &mdash; lots of curries, chutneys, and fresh rotis coming out hot. The whole place has that old colonial vibe, right by the sea. Bit pricey for what it is, but you leave full. Worth it if you&#39;re in the area.

Been coming here for a while now. Place stays clean, staff are friendly enough. Outdoor seating&#39;s decent when the weather cooperates. Food&#39;s pretty good too, nothing fancy but consistent. Only thing is it can get a bit busy around lunch, but that&#39;s expected. Fine spot for a regular meal.

The sirloin came out exactly medium rare and that white wine sauce really worked. Baked potato on the side was solid. Just wish the place wasn&#39;t so loud.

Stopped by for a quick dinner and ended up staying longer than planned. The pork ribs are R120 and honestly that&rsquo;s a solid deal&mdash;portion was big enough that I couldn&rsquo;t finish. Beer came properly ice cold too. Place gets a bit noisy later on, but it&rsquo;s fine if you&rsquo;re not in a rush.

Came for lunch and tried the grilled linefish. The manager actually took time to explain the menu, which was nice. Fish was fresh, cooked just right. Portion felt a bit small for the price though. Place was quiet when I visited, easy to get a table.

Stopped in for dinner and the place feels calmer now, decor&rsquo;s a big upgrade. Had the grilled fish, cooked just right, flaky and moist. Their margarita packed a proper punch, not too sweet, which I appreciate. Service was a bit slow mid-meal, but the drink made up for it. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re after a relaxed evening.

The staff set up a floor bed for our exhausted 3-year-old without us even asking. That alone made the whole visit worth it. We actually got to finish our desserts and coffee while she slept. Rare to feel this welcome with kids.

Good honest food, lovely setting. Escargot starter was a winner, seafood platter too. Service on point. Just found the seating a bit tight on one side.

The Sunday buffet&rsquo;s a solid deal&mdash;plenty of meat and seafood curries to pick from. Service was fine, though I wished they&rsquo;d had more dessert options.

Lovely spot right by the ocean. We grabbed a veggie pizza and it was fresh, really nice base. Just had to wait a bit for a table, but the vibe made up for it.

Food was solid but the sides were a bit hit or miss. Staff were super friendly though, made it easy to hang around with friends after we finished eating. 😊

Service was quick and friendly, no complaints there. Got my food fast, which I appreciated since I was starving. Portion size was decent for the price, though I&#39;ve seen bigger elsewhere. Not bad for a casual stop if you&#39;re in the area and hungry. Wouldn&#39;t go out of my way for it, but it does the job.
