Big Blue is arguably the restaurant with the best views in the Mosselbay Waterfront (Point) area. From the deck area you have views of the iconic tidal pools (Die Poort Tidal Pool), the Mosselbay Zipline, the Cape St Blaize lighthouse and of course the magnificent Indian Ocean. The restaurant is very relaxed with indoor and outdoor seating areas, and is decorated in a laid-back beach style - they even have swings at the bar for you to relaxed on. It is important to note, that even if you sit inside, you will still have a great view as they have big windows facing the ocean. We visited for lunch and it was very nice, but the highlight for me was the cocktails which added to the beach vibe. The staff was also friendly and they followed the Covid regulations that were in place at the time.
This place have so much potential its perfectly located and the views are amazing its also super fun to see the people coming down on the zipline, even have swings inside which is a fun decorative seat. Unfortunately the menu is not so amazing, theres not a lot of options nor anything special that stands out.
The venue is stunning. The view is awesome. Watching people come down the zip line or diving into the pool below is entertaining. The service is OK and the Drinks are tasty. Bit pricey and service could be better, but then location location location.
Spectacular location but poor atmosphere. Good fish at good price.
Fantastic view, renevated a few months ago. A cool place to go too.
A very reasonable establishment with an excellent view over the ocean. Staff friendly with good service. A very basic menu that you expect from a relaxed Bar environment with not a lot to choose from but it work ......but.... food very tasty, decent portions and well priced. I can recommend their cocktails.There is also a pet-friendly area for smaller dogs. Thanx for a relaxing afternoon
Stunning view and friendly service! Fastest breakfast ever being served! Will always return. Till next time. Adios!
Great meal, great location
Waited long to get my drink order taken and menus brought to table. Restaurant wasnt that busy otherwise I would have understood. When my food came it was cold! Overall not a good experience. Hopefully next time it will be better.
Food took 1 and a half hours and wasnt even good.
Amazing venue. Right in the sea. With the zip line attraction to watch. They make good cocktails.
Too small menu...service 4/10
Most beautiful view but very bad service. We waited for 20 min to be seated and there after we waited 20 plus mins just for a waiter to take our orders and then we waited a hour and a half to receive our food. On top of that the food was so oily, i could not finish my meal without getting nauseous. Terrible
Best setting with poorest service. Rude waiters walk around with masks on their chins/necks. 1 toilet that smells like a public toilet...surely cleaning procedures should be on point during Covid times. This place needs a good scrub and personnel training.
Beautiful place. Beautiful view. Bad service.
Good service great seafood.
Best ever
Looking for a view and atmosphere with good prices for quality food? Thank me later.
Poor service with bad hygiene. Made the mistake of looking into the kitchen on my way to the bathroom - shocking to say the least.
I posted the rating down below a week ago with a 1 star rating....Todays experience was greatquick service, great cocktails, chips were the best ever, kids loved the hot chocolate and the manager himself was cleaning tables and checking on us...WELL DONE GUYS!!!What a change around...2 thumbs up!!1st review:I usually love this place, when i Mosselbay on holiday every December, we support them at least 4-5 times over a 2 week visit. I understand they are busy but today the waitress at the door was extremely rude, she told me they are full, which was obvious to anyone with half a brain.When i asked for a ballpark figure of how long the wait would be after I put down my name , she rudely told me that she cant guess and that i just have to wait till she calls my name and that there are 2 table ahead of me...Sad and pathetic, as we where really looking forward to their calamari and cocktails and would have gladly waited or returned in an hour if the staff had been half decent.Perhaps management should be more involved and choose someone with a sliver of a personality or at least average people skills to recieve their guests...2 thumbs down!!!
Think they are more geared for persons sitting having drinks. Food takes long but was a least great.Have a great view
Poor service had to wait by the door for 30min for service. The food was awful. The waiter was very rude. Very nice place and views but not good service, food and management!I wont recommend this place to anyone.
Good food but limited menu due to covid. Great view point of the zip line and ocean
As always enjoyable and exceptional view!
Good service and the drinks were very reasonable
Beautiful and amazing views of the sea. Food was excellent
Not bad. Looks more like a place for young people. Near swimming with sharks. Nice view. Nice place to take a swim on site. Restricted offering on drinks and eats but if youre not fussy youll enjoy it
Food great and pricing also ok
Very nice place and cold draughts
We had a great experience and meal there. Everything was fresh and tasty. There is a good variety on the menu. The service was good and staff friendly. What a great setting. Hope to go back again
Not very wonderful. .In my humble opinion its gone down a lot ..
A 4, only because it is right on the sea!
Nice and cosy
Greatest comeback award must surely go to Big Blu! What a pleasant surprise, if you havent been there for awhile be sure to check it out.
Poor service, waited a long time for the waiters. It was not busy. Poor presentation of the beverages. Will not visit again.
Delicious fish and chips with yummy mussels. Prices reasonable and great beach setting with spectacular views. Good service and enjoyed a relaxing dinner. Casual dining with the luxury of a smoking section. Thank you
Such poor and rude service. Pitiful.
Love the view
Very bad experience. Poor Service! Waited almost 2 hours. Order wrong. When food eventually came... No cutlery... Really sad that such a lovely venue with a wonderful view must be spoiled by the bad service.
Drinks and food is nice, but we waited extremely long for our food. An hour and a half for the food. Unacceptable.
Food is ok not much to choose from more of a place to get drinks but also not the best jol place
Beautiful and stunning location at the Point in Mossel Bay. The views are breath taking. Cosy and rustic restaurant. Ample parking available. A great destination to spend time with family and friends. Food was lovely and the staff were friendly and efficient.
Cold food, dirty floors, extra long waiting time for everything, stupid waiters (you need to ask for anything at least twice) - unbelievable poor performance! Completely overrated
Ordered chicken strips and found calamari in between. The strips and chips tasted like fish. Oil dripping from the food, had to use napkin to dab the oil off😞 really bad experience. Service is slow and orders were delivered wrong.
Very simple ans small menu...but lovely view
Best fish, calamari and coleslaw. Fresh and perfectly cooked.
This is definitely 1 star. Food is not up to standard. It is really bad!!! Forget about quality of food. All this paces are in for your money. They do not care about quality! STAY AWAY
Other than for a quick drink, I would give this one a miss. If the open refuse bins between the tables and uncleared tables are anything to go by I wouldnt like to see the kitchen. Moving on swiftly....
Food was very tasty, however the service was a bit disorganized... The waiters work on an open seating way and no one is sure who serves who and if customers are being served. Apart from this Ill definitely be back for the view, excellent cocktails and delicious food they have quite a variety.
Rustic and friendly. Beautiful view overlooking the sea. Food good value and tasty
Good food, awesome view and friendly staff.
Wonderful setting, abysmal service. Brought out a beer without a bottle opener, then had to go all the way back inside and come back with it open. Tell me youre cleaning the kitchen at just before 8pm but that you can take an order of chips. I ask where the food was and I was asked if I heard that the kitchen was being cleaned...i dont think my order was even placed. Even the Ice cream I ordered was already melted . This location has much more potential. Its a pity the service levels are such a let down. I even witnessed customers leave because no one served them. Rather dont open on a public holiday if you cant provide adequate service levels.
Great place. Views are awesome. Food is great. Prices are fair. Service is excellent :)
Smart view good service anf prices are ok.
Always a great place for a cocktail and a nice light meal. Love it there. Friendly people
Big Blue Beach Bar. You guys are Amazing
We were 3 people dining together and the fish for sure are cooked from frozen and has been lying in the fridge for long because it tasted like fridge. This was a disgusting meal and i cannot believe you get this standard of fish at a seafood restaurant right on the ocean! Do not eat there! All you can expect is disappointment. The waiter could also at least have asked if we enjoyed our meal or not. This restaurant has gone backwards.
Best sea view from a restaurant in Mossel-bay that is actually affordable. Nice Afrikaans staff and a lekker vibe. The swings at the bar made the five stars in my review
Setves wasnt the best
Stunning views of the sea. Food is good and affordable. Nice and relaxing atmosphere.
Best ocean view ever! Watch the crashing waves as you sit on a swing in the pub section. Food is good, although menu is slightly limited
Stunning views. And the food is great! Its one of the best spots in Mosselbay. Loved the Mosselbay Sunset cocktail.
