The food quality was good but nothing spectacular. The service was very good. It is within walking distance from the resort and we could therefore enjoy a good bottle of wine and not drive.

This is certainly no upmarket seafood place but the prices reflect that. The Famous Fish and chips is only R38 for two pieces of fish with chips and a lemon butter sauce. We always find the service to be good and the place clean and they always recognise us the second time we visit. They do have a huge selection... More

racism once you speak afrikaans.It was about half past seven on a sunday evening and when the manager heard my afrikaans accent, he said their kitchen is closed. The manager refered me to a take away up the road.

Been to this Ocean Basket a few times, the last being October 2012 and have to say that the service and quality of staff are not polished as the Durban North and Ushaka Ocean Baskets.

We've always previously enjoyed the food here, but the most recent visit, despite the good food, suggested a staff out of touch with previous impeccable levels of service, and the place feels a little tawdry and in need of a new injection of energy and attention to detail. Our table was a bit grubby, and the person who seated us... More
