Lovely restaurant with a beautiful ocean view wherever you sit. Theyve got a lovely bathroom with comfortable changing areas for those with kids.Our waitress was quite friendly and attentive considering she had so many tables.We had the savoury mince with chips and calamari with chips. Both were very good and quite flavourful although the cheese sauce on the pancake was a bit grainy. Cant remember the full name of the cocktail, Whale watcher something. It was good as well, perfect for those who dont want cocktails that are too sweet.

I loved it, it is a great homely restaurant with breathtaking ocean views (you almost always see dolphins)The food is delicious and not too pricey, the staff are very helpful and friendly, and they have a few beers on tap which is always nice. 👌They also follow covid regulations even when they were very busy

You cant go wrong to order a dish here. Tried something new today and was super impressed with chillie chicken salad. And to top it of there was 2 pods of dolphin playing in the surf.

The Sea View, from the outside seating we had, is to die for!! And I have never had more crispy and tasty fries with a meal than those at Barnacles!! Friendly and cosy place to relax! Thank you Barnacles!

Very disappointing. Service was slow, food was cold, my steak which I ordered med/rare arrived med/well. Our waitron came to our table once to ask if we needed anything and taking into account how long we waited, was just not acceptable. The view over the sea is breathtakingly beautiful but our experience at the Restaurant took some of that shine away. Such a pity

I had a pleasantly wonderful experience here. There are clever puns all over the restaurant to spot, and I appreciate the sense of humour. The views of the ocean are stunning! And you can easily spend hours at the restaurant. The food is delicious and fresh and the staff are friendly and informative. It is a bit far out of town but totally worth the drive, and you can explore what is on the rocks while you are there. Highly recommended!

15Jult 2020: the latest times are Mon - Sat : 09:00-17:00; Sun 09:00-15:00. Long ago: I popped in to update their opening times during the covid. Dont be jealous of me being here today...and you werent!!! It was a cold and rainy day today so the nice and hot Cappuccino with the view of a wild sea made a good start. Their liver with onions, bacon and egg is legendary amongst my friends, on toast of course and thats what we had for breakfast. The company was good, the service similar and we had our normal great time at this interesting venue.

This restaurant has amazing sea views from the outside deck while you can order and eat while looking at the sea. Their service was quick and friendly and we didnt have to wait very long for the food.

Review №60

The hake itself wasnt bad but the beef burger and chicken schnitzel were dry. The seafood platter for 2 was not value for money; the prawns were overcooked and tasteless and the calamari was average; not worth R370.We also felt the meals were over overpriced, especially since sides (including chips) have to be ordered at an additional cost; R78 for a single piece of hake.We expected more from a seafood restaurant.

Review №95

The view was spectacular! Also like it that there isnt music playing, just the sound of the ocean.The calamari was great, but the hake is better at almost any cornershop cafė. The chips were good too, but for some reason I got a total of 5 whereas people with me got plenty. We never received the appetizers they said they would bring. Beer was cold and crisp. Prices are very steep for what you get. R175 for a small portion of calamari and a small hake with 5 chips is not cheap in my book.Our waitress was a darling and super good conversationalist. She had us in stiches a few times.Covid protocols are very loosely implemented with groups of people coming into the restaurant without masks and not sanitising upon entry without anyone monitoring it.I guess we might visit again, but well be looking for something better.
