We spent nearly 3 hours eating, enjoying our drinks, listening to live music and just chilling. The food was tasty, service good and the vibe very lively. We started with oysters and bubbly, followed by fish cakes and later some grilled calamari. We ended off with 1kg prawns. Nothing spectacular, but good hearty food.

It was very busy and very loud. They had a live band which made it impossible to have a conversation.Also, they didnt allow any dancing and their servers were quite aggressive in stopping people from dancing.In saying that, our server was wonderful and the restaurant does strictly follow all covid protocols especially enforcing mask wearing.

Portions were huge and their specials were about the best weve experienced. Food was divine and we all enjoyed our meals with no issues.

The platter has a nice variety of seafood and is a good option for people who would like to try a little of everything. The food was good but I felt the calamari could have been better.The smoothie was great, enjoyed it. It smooth and delicious.The Brûlée was great too, with a nice hint of Amarula.The musician on that day was really good.I would definitely recommend visiting this restaurant.

Had the best 1kg prawn pan with a Castle tank beer to wash it down. Had a superb live show by one guy playing the guitar and covering 80s classics. Great outing for a Thursday afternoon.

Excellent food! Calamari was tender and fresh, mussels were totally delicious. The view is priceless and you may even get a visit from a little black bird.

Always a winner and a old favourite at the Cape Town Waterfront. Excellent value for money, good menu variety, beer on tap. Reminder - they also serve breakfasts and are situated ON the waters edge.

Mafriday our waiter, looked after us very well. There was a fantastic guy crooning in the background singing up a storm... think his name is Neels Moir... and the food was tasty and not too pricey.

The quality of the fish and chips has dropped, how sad!!!This used to be one of the best places to get this meal, unfortunately it ranks poorly now.Where is that great beer batter and why has the portion size reduced so much???Come on Quay Four sort out your issues and give us what were used too!!!

Poor service, had to look for a waiter to take our orders. Got our food after other patrons that arrived and order after us. Yet we ordered simple meals ( burgers ). Then we had to look for our waiter again in order to pay our bill. Not very pleased at all with the whole experience.

Quay four is excellently situated on the wharf of the V&A Waterfront. With a lot of space available, its a great place for lunch or drinks.Prices are affordable considering the spot of the restaurant itself. Prices range between R99-R149 for a main meal. The food resembles normal pub food, that doesnt provide a special out-of-this world tasting experience. But fair enough considering it is a pub-like vibe.

Had a team lunch there, started off a call me a taxi cocktail it was amazing went down so well with the days sunny weather refreshing and had the kick it promised reading all the alcohol included from the menu. For lunch I had the Chateaubriand the steak was so soft, melted in my mouth, the chips were so crispy and soft inside, the veggie slaw that the steak rested on was amazing with a sweet sour taste to compliment the whole plate. This meal coupled with the view of the ocean was enjoyable.

If booking, they reserve upper deck. Nicer for conversation as music on lower deck can be difficult to chat through. Lovely view of charter boats. Different menu upper deck. Cajun calamari, sushi and steaks were all good. Chocolate fondant was pleasant. Ebony and ivory desert was disappointing, maybe because the waiter described it as mousse, which it definitely isnt. Presentation was very good though. Prices reasonable.

I had an excellent fried hake and chips there with even some salad on the side. Value for money. The second time when I came for the same dish suddenly the fish was dry and not well fried. After my complaint they immediately rectified and sent me a nice juice hake with crunchy skin.

If I could give it no stars I would, cashier made a statement that tip wasnt included in the total amount after I said the amount as stated on the slip. Bear in mind this was for a TAKE AWAY item.The waitress we paid did not even take our order the bar man did. This was the first and hopefully last time experiencing something as shocking as this for me.

Visited them on 28 Sep 2021 at around 7pm. We were told that we could sit upstairs and order from the downstairs menu. We ordered the 1kg prawn special, the food arrived slightly cold with the prawns poorly seasoned and not all of them being deveined. When our waiter came by to check on us we mentioned this and he did not say anything. Instead he offered to heat up the entire pan. Additionally the ladies bathroom was dirty, the pepper grinder on our table was grimy and the table cloth was also dirty. We found the waiter to be okay but did not communicate well. This is our first time sitting upstairs, weve frequented the downstairs restaurant a few times and have always had a positive experience.

Today was my 1st time I wanted to experience Quay four restaurant because everyone is talking so highly about this place, but to my experience I will never sit a foot at this place, you got a ramp but you dont have any tables for someone who is in a wheelchair chair, some people who are in wheelchairs cant sit on their own or eat on their own. DOES IT MEAN PEOPLE WHO ARE IN WHEELCHAIRS ARE NOT WELCOME AT YOUR PLACE, YOU GOT TABLES WITH CHAIRS UPSTAIRS BUT NOT DONT STAIRS. PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ARE ALSO HUMAN DONT TREAT THEM DIFFERENT..... I NEVER SIT A FOOT AT THIS PLACE AGAIN

Visited this restaurant yesterday. We were disappointed in the quality of the food and the service. Our calamari was not cleaned properly prior to being poorly cooked, leaving sinue like skin on all calamari pieces. The salads appeared day old and reused. The restaurant was not busy as they are limited by the number patrons due to social distancing, so there really is no reason for slow service. This restaurant is so heavily reliant on its great location to the point where they seemingly dont have to put in effort to produce quality.

This restaurant has a wonderful holiday feeling about it. We had seats next to the water and could observe the antics of the seagulls and the movements of all the sunset cruise boats. Meals were very appetising and reasonably priced. Would recommend it to all my friends.

Terrible Terrible, we drove from Hermanus to come and eat for a birthday with our small puppy in a cage.We were told that we cannot come in with the dog. We were the only 4 people in the whole restaurant.There are rules, but for customer service there can be exceptions if you use common sense and want to give good service.Won’t recommend , they were rude as well.

What a stunning restaurant with great views of the V&A waterfront! The seafood was good, average I can’t say it was outstanding. My daughter had the sushi and I had the calamari. The dessert was sublime.

Thee best Seafood In Waterfront!And the only restaurant that closes at 11 during festive season, rather than 9 / 9:30 like the other eating places in waterfront.Service and food is always 💯.It gets quite windy outside at night , so if youre a smoker, rather opt to sit inside and go outside to smoke.

Review №82

Im not sure whether the waitering staff werent picking up the food on time, or the chef doesnt realise that when serving a platter each item needs to be timed to ensure the entire dish arrives to the table hot.Cold seafood is tough and horrid tasting, and what a patron finds here. The issue with sending back is theyll put it in the microwave, for further rubber effects!I told the waitress, but doubt she told the kitchen.I see bad reviews elsewhere on other websites, the restaurant friends must be fake writing the ones below!!I wont be coming back.

Lovely dining experience with awesome live band. The food was amazing and the restaurant applies strict social distancing between tables - really liked that. The seafood is really fresh and I have no hesitation in recommending this place for a fine seafood dining experience. My only criticism is that their dessert isnt the best. In particular, the ice cream that comes with the cheesecake.Their staff is amazing though - especially Tamara who served us. She is lovely.

As always, Quay never disappoints. We thought that we might be waiting long in line and took a chance. But honestly it was not even 15min worth of queue time before we were seated.We ordered some Steak and Ribs and it was an absolute pleasure. Definitely recommended for people who want some quality food.The food and drinks also came quickly, our waiter was on top of everything. An absolute pleasure to rate this place 5 stars.

My first time to eat at Quay Four and their food is the worst in the waterfront. I didn’t even want to give any star rating. Firstly their service is very slow, the waiter took long to come and take our order, when the food arrived it was very cold and seemed pre- made and not freshly made. Their onion rings taste like flour mixed with aromat (no onion taste at all). I ordered a full peri-peri Mozambique chicken. The hot chillies were uncooked and just spread on top of the chicken, whilst the chicken itself tasted plain not properly marinated ( it’s like they marinate each chicken when they have only get an order and not over night marinating so the spices really blend into the chicken). My partner had a fish platter and nothing tasted fresh. Everything tested pre- made and bulk cooked with the worst off tasting yellow rice on the side. For a waterfront restaurant this is very disappointing. I will not be eating at Quay Four again. I mentioned my comments to the waiter and he just looked at us with no acknowledgement or apology. We still gave him a good tip because we believe these are hard times and waiters still need to make a living.Worst quality of food but big quantity. The money I spent here went down the drain to a total waste.I WON’T BE EATING AT QUAY FOUR AGAIN!!!!

Zero is Needed here!! The waiter Abandon us after we asked here to give us only 5mins to think about our options. We waited for about 30 mins... requested her again and told her we were ready to order bt She did not come. We were so disappointed.. coz it was my friends birthday too. Worse experience!!
