Restaurant is quite vibrant. Food was good quality, sushi specifically - a little too much rice in the pieces though. Presentation on wooden boards wasnt all that great, boards all full of cutting marks. I take it that they are used to serve other dishes as well.Because it is suitable to both casual or a more sophisticated dining experience, a more user-friendly menu would be great! Also quite focused on whether or not you booked...Friendly staff all round and a good atmosphere.
This was my favourite restaurant experience in knysna. The service in this restaurant is super excellent the waiters are friendly and the supervisors are present. The seating is nice and the view of the restaurant is amazing. Food was delicious and fresh. Especially the seafood platter, its soo good. Their malva pudding is the best.
Extremely disappointed. We were served by a very nice young waitress. Unfortunately, it was her first day. And despite her best efforts, she was totally lost. She should never have been thrown at the deep end. A so-called manager came after half an hour to tell us it was her first day but that he was watching her and all was in control. Far from it. We ordered three extra large oysters each to start with. My friend’s were fine. Two of mine were minuscule and totally shrivelled. They must have starved… only the shells were large! I complained and after a good twenty minutes, a fourth middle sized oyster was brought to the table. My friend then took the fish of the day which was fine. I took the seafood platter. The mussels were overcooked. The prawns were cut lengthwise, which made it very difficult to remove the shell, and even more to have a decent morsel. The three sauces were dissociated. Desserts were just about OK. My friend complained his chocolate brownie only had the colour of dark chocolate. At that price, a totally unacceptable experience.
What a breath of fresh air. Lovely restaurant, good selection of food and drinks. Ambiance is great. I really loved the lighting and being able to view the harbor. Just want to acknowledge Ziyanda for being the Host with the Most. We were a big group split on 2 tables and i must say she handled the pressure so well.
The food was lovely and the background music was nice and soft enough to have a decent conversation. The service was good. There were some hygiene issues where some tables were not entirely clean and the menus had some icecream stains that were still wet. Overall nice place with a good view for a date or business meeting.
Food is unbelievable! Saturday specials amazing! Live music! Really a must to visit!
Nice atmosphere and friendly service. The quality of food is great.
Absolutely Excellent food and service like you only dream of! Well done guys! You deserve more than a 5 star rating
Had a wonderful early dinner this evening. The staff were really great, friendly and professional. Thank you!!
Friendliest service by far, nice atmosphere and location. The food was okay
Another fantastic Friday Evening at Drydock, our waiter Sive was fantastic and so professional, our food outstanding! this is a wold class restaturant!
Scenic setting, superbly delicious food and good service. I was happy to find a delicious vegan meal (Moroccan lentil pilaf) that I would go back for over and over again. The only negative was a few prawn tentacles on my partners fish for which we were told the manager would come and extend his apology but he did not arrive. Other than that, highly recommended spot at the Knysna Waterfront.
Great views over the harbour, but unfortunately the sushi was very disappointing. Poor quality fish, not properly made, presented on an old wooden plank that would be better suited for serving a steak. This might be a nice restaurant to visit if you’re expecting a plain fish and chips
Fantastic. Food, service and ambiance all very relaxing. Live music. Very laid back. Definately a must when you are in Knysna 😉
Fantastic service from entering to exiting the restaurant. Good food, good service and most of all spotlessly clean.
Great food, excellent pricing, wonderful atmosphere. And off course, the view is top of the range.
Exceptional service. Afrikaans speaking. Food is beautiful. View is beautiful
Sushi fantastic, half price sushi on a Friday, well worth to book a table.
Absolutely delicious. Seafood heaven. Exceptional service.
Wonderful setting on harbour, beautiful sunset views. Great Sushi special. Lovely spot
Awesome service, beautiful setting. Great food!!
Awesome half price Friday sushi!! Great view
Venue exceptional. Ambiance and music great.Food and service tops. Manager Kyle knowledgeable and human skills the best.
Very good food and service. We had the hake and the baby sole - both full flavour and well priced. The menu has a good range of seafood, grills and sushi. Comfortable seating, right on the marina. The sun set as we ate and the lights came on in the lagoon. An excellent evening.
Ordered the Saturday Seafood Platter special- it comes with wine and very affordable for what you get. Effective and fast service with friendly staff. Short waiting time for orders. Shreshest seafood and ingredients, perfectly made. Will recommend the venues with beautiful views to anyone!
Excelent service and very friendly personal. Highly recommended.
What a disaster. Waiting 40 minutes before our simple order arrived. I was really disappointed with the kitchen preparing our food and I could not tell what was wrong until....the distinct taste of fish is all over my food. I know this restaurant specialise in seefood, but if the owner decide to offer food on the menu other than seafood....he/she must make sure not to serve egg and steak prepared in fish-oil. Futher more .....my wifes chicken salad was just as bad. She could not eat the chicken....because it taste like fish and returned it to the kitchen...demanding a discount.I will not visit this restaurant again.2 out of 10
One of our favourite restaurants on the Eastern side of the Western Cape every time passing up this stretch of the coast do a stop at the Drydock and enjoy some of their scrumptious variety of dishes really reasonably priced good pro staff that actually went out of their way to ask the Chef to do me a dish that was not on the menu and then the manager checking on us if all was to satisfaction...a really professional way of dealing with requests thank you guys we heading your way in the next couple of months again cant wait well done Guys .🙋♂️
Some of the best seafood I have ever had and very good service.
Great food.. Awesome vibe... Sugar rush desserts
Great service and value for money. Well done Branden
Amazeballs!! Food exquisite! Host Hasina is out of this world! She sells drydock with charisma that is endearing and seductive! ;) i want to adopt her !! :D. well done to the whole team you guys are phenomenal! 10 out of 10
My favorite restaurant in Knysna. Never a trip without stopping for a meal that never lets u down. Food fantastic, friendly and helpful staff, great views and awesome setting
Being in the most touristy place in Knysna I was expecting an over rated, expensive disappointment. But it was actually incredible, the food and service was top class. Prices were fair bar the wine which was actually very expensive considering the wines on offer. Poor selection at high end prices. If wine isnt your thing this is the best meal weve had thus far on our stay.
The food was tasty, the service was very good! a bit expensive
Very busy restaurant, good food.
I have had many good experiences at Drydock but my last visit was even better, the Sushi 🍣 was 11/10 it was fresh and very tasty, the view is breathtaking! Staff very accommodating and friendly, the trainee waitress was very friendly and professional. I cannot wait for next Fridays half price Sushi date with my friends.
Great food good service, fantastic view
Great, varied menu with great tasting meals. Very nice of the manager in duty to visit each table and show appreciation for support during this very difficult time for restaurants and tourism. Probably the waterfront restaurant with the best view overlooking the docked boats. Highly recommended!
Best service from Sive and other staff. Oysters were fantastic. Music was a pleasant surprise. Overall wonderful experience. Best seafood
Good food as always! Great service
The best prawns I have had in a long time...trie yo their word on the quality of their food...the views are to die for, impeccable service...the highlight for me was the Rockefeller Oysters....Divine!@!
Amazing food, great staff, nice vibe
Great food, great atmosphere & great service!
Good food, good service, pleasant venue. Outstanding value for money.
This place breaks the rules by being a decent restaurant with good prices in a heavy tourist area with good views. The restaurant was really busy so things were a bit slow but the service was friendly and informative. The food was tasty, fresh and well presented. My poke bowl was simple and delicious. The sushi was decent but could have been constructed with a little more care. All told, pop in, eat and you will likely walk away happy!Update: I did not realize how massive this restaurant is! There are two floors and over 200 tables.
Awesome place..nice foid and best service
Lovely food and great service from the waitresses. Best seafood ever
Awesome hamburger special. Staff a little undertrained but very friendly and helpful. All round a very good experience
The service was friendly and fast. Liana our waitress assisted us with a wine suggestion to pair with our meal. I recommend that you try their signature platter.
To be seated in such a beautiful setting! Graceful yachts, tranquil lagoon..nothing like it! The service is friendly & attentive, food delicious! We have never been disappointed!
Great spot, stunning sushi, great service
I left my bag in the restaurant at closing time and after 3 minutes I returned to get it and it was gone.Im very disappointed with the waiters.
A very good venue. We had the pizza and fish. Very good service and food
The food was a real let down. I had the tuna croquettes + tempura prawn roll as a starter. Croquettes were completely tasteless. Sushi wasnt worth mentioning. Main was also an anti-climax. We ordered their signature dish, the seafood platter: prawns didnt seem fresh, mussels were also bland and tasted like theyd simply been boiled in plain water, only saving grace was the sole. The restaurant has a lovely view though and the service was really great - the waitron was really patient and friendly.
The Saturday seafood special is ridiculously great value and awesome food... Platter for two to share; baby sole, prawns, calamari, mussels, chips and rice with a beer or glass of wine each for R150.. amazing!!
Straight up horrible experience on 02 April 2021. Took colleagues out for supper, sushi order taken incorrectly, ordered crispy and didnt get it, one sushi order was missed and never delivered. Only 1 drinks order was taken the entire evening. Shocked. Wont recommend. I was embarrassed.Spoke to a short female manager and was not supported, not even spoken to again. I would of rather gone to the shabeen in location for such terrible food, service and management. On top of it all, 5 days before they posted a picture about thier half price sushi special and then on the day, no special, had to pay full price for the entire experience. Awful.Go to any of the other restaurants that deserve the support
Very nice meal. Good wine selection. Could expand a bit on their vegetarian dishes.
Went there for a late afternoon meal. Amazing food and excellent service.
Dry dock is the most wonderful venue with good, reasonably priced meals. The specials are very well priced and great value for money
A true all-rounder. Lovely setting, phenomenal food, great value and attentive service. Strongly recommend the sole. Will definitely be back.
Very welcoming staff and manager
Thank you for a wonderful meal, with friendly good service. Your staff is a great asset to the business.
Great place. Great sushi, Fridays half price sushi! Lovely friendly waiters, great manager.
By complete accident I visited during the Saturday afternoon special, got a seafood platter for 2 with 2 Windhoek lagers accompanied by live music and a spectacular view for R150!! Fantastic in every respect!
Really good service, so extremely well organised, food was nice and service was excellent.
