Good vibe, nice view and friendly service. The bar looked like the place to be... I would have liked more see food options, since Saldanha is also a fishers dorp. The kids enjoyed the playroom. Not cheap, but not overly expensive.
Great food at great prices. Lots of specials and service was very friendly. Try the Mussels! It was awesome
Absolutely lived this place. The food was delicious! Service was fantastic and the vibe was incredible. We had live music and the perfect view on a gorgeous summers day. Highly recommended
The places looks stunning, i was there to install slots machines, i ddnt taste the food but the smell was appetising😋
Very pleasant with nice view. Good value for money. Some minor concerns which may be resolved with improved level of service. I will visit again
Drove from cape-town to have the famous bar one milkshake and had to send it back as it was I think a glass of milk with a few pieces of chocolate in. Sent it back and then got what I came for. The famous BAR ONE milkshake. Nothing like it in cape Town if it is a made right from the start
Very nice friendly staff and good food. Great Calamari. Awesome view
Good food. Good prices. Friendly staff will definitely go back.
So to be honest they have changed owners in the past few months. However this does not excuse bad service or food. The bar is operated by lovely gentleman that are very good at their jobs. The waiters tending to the restaurant are another matter. Taking over 20 minutes to realise we were there, us having to wave them down and then being met with bad attitudes. They stand around chatting to each other and rarely attend to the tables. The food used to be excellent and now it is just sub par. The calamari was prepared from deep frozen, that is not the problem, it was just rather cold still, and the batter failed to stick to the pieces. The chips were full of oil. I used to love this place and come here every 2 months or so. I really do hope they step up to aspire to something better. Will revise this review on my next visit depending on the experience.
Food was excellant view is stunning, but took 1hour to bring food.
What a wonderful, friendly restaurant. Had an amazing day celebrating my fiancée fathers 60th birthday! From the fresh sushi to the delectable party platters on offer the only thing better than the food was the refreshingly friendly service from our waitresses. She went above and beyond to make sure our experience was nothing short of 5 star treatment. If you find yourself in the area and feel like something special then give this restaurant a try, you wont be disappointed 😉. Food 8/10, service 10/10, atmosphere 9/10. Just beware of the jalapeño poppers, they are HOT!!🔥😊
What a awesome place and very neat il see you guys soon.
Lovely place....had steak and chips for lunch...it was perfect...price was reasonable...if im in Saldanha again will definitely go eat there again..
My son who now resides in Saldanha took us to the restaurant the past Saturday afternoon. They took us upstairs to the open balcony and sat us down. A waitress gave us menus used at another table without cleaning it. We kindly requested her to have it cleaned. She left but cont. to serve the other guest. After a long while we just decided to leave and go to another Restaurant. Was not a good experience at all. Will not recommend the place to anyone. We went to Charlies Brewhouse, Port Owen. This restaurant is on another level. Service and food excellent. Staff great. Will recommend the place to all my friends and family.
Good food, great live entertainment and friendly staff.Efforts put in to surrounded ambiance, arts, and neatness.Inside and Outside space with a view of the saldanha bay Harbour.
Friendly staff/ Barmen, good vibes, great cocktails and pizza is 👌👌👌
What a change. Absolutely beautiful. I have been going there for many years absolutely awesome what the new owners have done. Well done👌
Service was slow but the quality of our food was perfect.
Good food, good service. And good view. 👍
Great meals, great drinks and awesome services
Shared a lekker Sunday afternoon catching up with a couple of friends. Atmosphere relaxed, draught beer fresh, food excellent and good value for money. Service was also just right. No hesitation in recommending.
Nice food good service.
Horrible Service - We went for lunch to Captains Cabin and, what a disappointment it has been. We waited for half an hour without any service. Waiters just ignored us. Would not recommend Captains Cabin to friends and family. 😡MY REPLY TO YOUR QUESTION BELOW - Dated 4 March 2021Hi, we were there on Saturday 27 Feb…and came there just before the live music started playing. We sat on the top deck and, I saw 2 waiters working in that area.What was particularly annoying was that one of the waiters opted to serve people that arrived later. We sat right at the door so it was impossible for them to miss us…but one of the waiters decided to serve a larger table of 6 people instead of our table of 4 people. Both waiters walked pass our table multiple times and just ignored us.It’s not the first time we had a bad experience on the top deck. It’s almost as if there are not enough waiters. I don’t know.
Visited the establishment on Wednesday 16 as a culmination of a sightseeing trip on the west coast. I had the hake and chips, my husband had the seafood potjie and I took home the seafood pasta for my son. On my way home to Ceres I started feeling nauseaus and ended up chucking up everything I ate while driving the car. My husband couldnt even eat the the seafood potjie which was glutenous mess which wasinedible and my son had diarrhea for the best part of the week. The only conclusion I can come to is that we hwas served food that was off.It was adissapointing experience as this we always end up visiting this establishment when we are in the area. This for the past more than 20 years.
We had heard about this spot for a while and finally got a chance to try it. It was okay. We had just a simple lunch, with some fish and chips, jalapeño poppers and sushi. The breading on the fish and jalapeños was not great, the poppers were obviously not fresh and just frozen poppers. The fish was okay, but honestly Fishaways is better. The sushi was disappointing. VERY small portion sizes, with very little fish and far too much mayo. All in all nothing tasted bad, but nothing was particularly good. Im sure its a fine spot for drinks, but as far as what we ate, I wouldnt recommend.
Staff has been xcellent and enjoy the atmosphere at this place. No fights and the food are good aswell. Prices is not too bad at all.
Lovely welcoming place to visit, great menu
Had visited Captains before. BUT somethings wrong.. from excellent 5star food and service to very low 2star. Waited for 30minutes before attended to.. our starters was not ready.. after we enjoyed the main. We own a guest house and always recommended our guests to Captains.. but our the latest experience will surely have a impact.
The food here is excellent! Would really recommend trying if you have never been.
Thx; All of the people were excellent. (See you soon) Vaatjie and Elaine. (Special thx to our Neighbour)
Food was good as usual and service excellent prices also reasonable
Captains is our favorite get together destination! Maryna is an amazing waitress. She is always friendly and gives fantastic service. We need more waitresses like her. The food and drinks are always great. This is definitely our favorite place to gather and have a good time.
Everytime we go there the service is top class
Good steak and cold beers. Enjoy this with friends or colleagues for a unforgettable experience. The views from top of the restaurant are breathtaking as well.
After there revamp captains cabin came back stronger than ever! Delicious food. Amazing atmosphere. Friendly service and staff. Very modern and well worth a visit when in saldanha. Hats off to new owners.👌👍
Had 2 most excellent meals there on 2 separate days. Sushi and the Mussle pot. Both sublime. Gorgeous sea view. Service could be a little faster. But TOTALLY recommended
This is a lovely place for lunch and dinner. Price is sooooo good. Food is excellent. Sushi. Steak. Burgers. All really great. I will recommend 100%
Great service. Covid protocols was in place. Good food at a good price great view from the balcony and lower deck. Friendly service West Coast style. Ablution facilities is nice and clean. Overall a grear place to rest and explore their amazing menu. 10/10
Staff are super welcoming, atmosphere incredible and the food amazing. Definitely a place to visit if you are in the area.
The fish and chips was not good, I think it is more a pub than a restaurant
You have a great view over the ocean. Food is good and not over price. The only negative is that you can smell sigarette smoke even if you in the non smoking section
Great black mussels with wine cream and garlic sauce at a unbelievable price and great lagoon views!
A landmark in Saldanha. Menu has something for everyone and the view is beautiful. Always a must oasis when you are in Saldanha
The place is perfect, friendly staff with excellent service.
This place are nice looking out restaurant with seasight and inside ,also too for relax with wine and nice food. There are pub too,but for chairwheel are problem?
We were very pleasantly surprised. The food is very generous and tastes amazing. A hidden gem. We will surely be back.
Awesome views of the bay. Pet friendly. Best oysters ever. Great menu and good food. My new place to go when Im in Saldhana.
Wow what al lovely experience. This is an amazing place with a beautiful view.
Such a disappointing experience. Waited ages for our orders.Drinks came through one by one which left someone done with their drink while another is still waiting for their first one even though ordered at the same time.Same with the food. 2 of our party had received and finished their food while we were still waiting on our sushi.Waitress forgot an item and blamed us for it when we brought it up. This was however rectified with a complimentary portion of sushi since the kitchen was closed.Another waitress never put her mask over her nose, and what I’m assuming is the manager, didn’t have his mask one which made me very uncomfortable.The renovations are great for a certain crowd, however it’s not the homey dive bar it used to be if you’re looking for that.
Great dining experience
Good food,good prizes,friendly staff.
Best food, best pub in the west coast
Loved the views, the atmosphere and ambience. Super friendly, efficient and fast service.
Great atmosphere. Great view. Food is good and nice selection of drinks. Beer battered hake was a bit of a let down. Otherwise great eatery and bar.
Very friendly service. Great view of the bay. Moderately good food.
Enjoy the food and most friendly staff. Really worth visiting.
Food ,drinks and service brilliant, but shouldnt allow smoking outside in the under cover area
What an amazing place, the waiters are super friendly, the foods even better. With a great view youll truly enjoy
Beautiful setting overlooking the bay. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and efficient even during a busy lunch rush.
Seafood platter and mussel pot (main meal)... single word...delicious.
The vibe and the view is grate but the service was missing. Will definitely give them a second try when its not so busy.
Great food and atmosphere ans awesome live music @ChrisRain
NICE COSY PLACE TO COOL DOWN
Best chillie poppers ever
I went to this restaurant on 3 occassions in the past. So it was my obvious choice to take my friends who visited Saldanha for the first time. What a waste of time and money!! We waited 15 min before our order for our drinks were taken. My friend got her Castle immediately but myself and other friend waited more than 12 minutes for our filter coffee. Eventually I called another waitress as the one helping us was too busy. Eventually we got our hot drinks and we ordered our food when the beer was served. We waited 40 ninutes and people who ordered after our order were served around us. When our pizza arives eventually, it was burnt and tastes bad. The chicken strips were too dry.No-one even apologize for the waiting time or the burnt pizza. It was only when I sent it back that the waitress apologized. Never again... although I still think their mussels are the best. (This time it was sold out)
The food is very good, the drinks are affordable and the Captains Cabin has a great casual atmosphere. They even do karaoke with some surprisingly good local talent!BUT, every single time I have visited, 4x so far, the waitress has consistently forgotten at least 1/4 of the orders. This means that at least 1 out of every 4 people is left with an empty plate/glass and a bold faced lie while everyone else gets to enjoy their food and drink. Needless to say this completely spoils the evening if you are a larger group or celebrating a special occasion.@Captains Cabin please insist that your waiters and waitresses WRITE DOWN EVERY ORDER to solve this easily avoided issue.
Always have the best time here, always.
Wednesday mussels delicious
Great spot with tasty fresh oysters and the best chips on the west coast. Friendly service. Fab spot in Saldanha.
Amazing food!
Rustic, very good food, but little noisy.When all the other restaurants have closed early, you can be assured of a good meal at a reasonable time of the evening.
Great sushi, great view, great staff
Family friendly with great food. In all its a awesome place.
