Great spot! We usually have breakfast there and we always enjoy. Nice views all round but especially if you sit out front. Coffee is amazing and I love the Eggs Benedict.

We went for coffee. Sat on the balcony and had a wonderful view od the sea and beach below. It was nice to watch the sea birds fishing to see ducks waddling in the sea and children playing in the sand. Has a nice view of the Pier and surrounding areas. The service was good the tables were cleaned and theWhy trans did a wonderful job to keep you satisfied. We had two cappuccinos and for diet cold drinks that was 176. Lowest value for what we got. Really worth a visit.

One of my favourite places in PE. The major attraction for me is the panoramic view of the ocean. On more than one occasion I have enjoyed a cocktail while dolphins swim by. Great food, great service and beautiful views of the sea. Tasty cocktails also a bonus.

Lovely restaurant with a beach view, the food is great - one of my favourite places to order a steak. Breakfast could be better, more waitrons during the day could also improve the service.

Views right on the sea, nice and airy and bright. Good food, craft beer on tap. Service can be a little lethargic.

Everything was on point, good atmosphere and best views. Our waiter Thomas ensured the service was beyond exceptional. Meals came in time and as ordered. Be back when in PE

Love this spot. This is a Port Elizabeth icon, and a must for visitors and locals alike. We had breakfast there and I can report that it was phenomenal. (I know that sounds odd, but theres breakfast, and then theres breakfast.)This is doing it right and you cannot beat the location and views over the ocean and Shark Rock Pier.Dont miss this one.

Excellent establishment. Well run with friendly and helpful staff. All orders were exactly as specified. The venue has arguably one of the best views of the Port Elizabeth beaches on both sides. Service was quick and waitor knowledgeable on their offering. This is the perfect spot to have private business meetings or just for that perfect espresso with good company. Highly recommended.

Review №17

A well situated restaurant especially for tourists. The service is very good and the portions are over generous the mains are good as are the chips.... The veggies however are not great, I could happily have done without if I had known how big the mains portion was.. The veg needs a bit of a make over.. I will be back when next in PEThe calamari is very good.. They also allow BYO with a very reasonable corkage chargeI need to tell you again! These servings are huge...

Review №27

Service was a bit slow at the beginning but once we got a wait or he was very attentive and friendly. The food was amazing. I would recommend the nachos if youre looking for something light but filling, the prawn and chicken curry was very good as well, although there were not enough prawns for me. Sirloin steak was nice and tender as well. I would 100% recommend the Klein Zalze pinotage of youre a wine drinker, it is now a new fav.Lovely views of the ocean and people walking by should you choose the outdoor seating

The outside deck has some beautiful views of the bay (the photos are from the deck) . The food is a little pricier than other restaurants in the area, but the portions are very generous. I would not recommend the sushi, however the other seafood options were well prepared. They have good coffee, serve craft beers and have an OK wine list.

Always been happy with the food and service here but sadly let down today Friday 23rd AprilThe grilled chicken burger breast was dry and slightly burnt. Left a charred taste in my mouth. Rest of the meal good though.

Fr
Review №71

The dish that I ordered did nothing to entice me to return. My family had various negative comments about their food. To be more precise; the warm salad was cold, the ribs were dry and lacked moistness and succulence, rather acidic. My fillet was chewy overly seasoned and missing the charring that Im looking for. Service was good.

The breakfast at Bluewaters was great value as well very tasty. The view from the balcony is a great view of the bay. If you enjoy watching aeroplanes coming into land this is a great place to see this. On a good day you can sit and watch the dolphins not far out in the bay.

Review №92

Service was very bad. Waitress was sloppy and absolutely ignorant toward hospitality. No clue. The manager was running around taking orders and trying to please customers and generally making up for all the staff incompetence. I feel sorry for him, he is going to burn out. Food was good, so there must still be a chef that cares.
