A hidden gem so worth the visit, great fresh seafood, beautiful views of the yachts. We were very lucky to see a mussel boat and talk to the skipper about how it operates. You wont be disappointed..... Forgot to take pics of divine calamari....

This restaurant came highly recommended by a friend. I would have liked more seafood options on the menu and more regular options on the kiddies menu. There was no kiddies burger, for instance but a kiddies steak... Sitting in the open area is lovely, with a beautiful view and the feel of the sea breeze drifting over you. Dont let the run down exterior frighten you away.

Was looking forward of eating at Slipway Waterfront but I was so disappointed with the service amd it took forever to get our food.Such a great restaurant with lots of potential.

The setting of this restaurant is excellent. We visited the place quite a few years ago and pop in to a late breakfast. The food was ok and not expensive. The service was friendly. No baked beans though with the steak and egg breakfast. We were the only people there. The only comment I can make is that the outside seating has deteriorated. Tables looks tatty and the restrooms were stuffy.

We loved this rustic looking restaurant situated at the harbour. Just be aware that you pay R5 per car for entrance to the area. The food was freshly prepared and of high quality. Prices are very reasonable. This would have been a 5 star review but the calamari tasted like rubber in my opinion. Well worth a visit.

A surprisingly tranquil and efficient lunch outing with a great view. Service was good, apart from them not serving tap water and up-selling their branded still water. The food was good overall, crumbed mushrooms were terrible, boiled and tasteless. The ribs were excellent, if slightly over cooked. Best parts of the meal were the calamari and mussels. I’ll be back.

We had a great experience at Slipway Waterfront. They were a bit understaffed, but a big shout out to the barn man, our waitress and the 2 kitchen personnel. Our food was delicious, fresh and warm when we received it.

Not sure if today was just a bad day, but service was bad. Restaurant had no mussels or prawns. People had to go inside to get attention of staff. When we wanted to order we we asked if the food was going to take long.Waitress was honest and said yes which I appreciated. Decided to cancel our order (we werent the only ones).

Review №47

Not what you see on the photos of web page. Place is dingy and tables are falling apart. Very slow service. Waited 20min for a cooldrink. Then waited a further 1h20min for a simple hake a chips. Very disappointing considering the location. Peak December period. 2 waitresses serving a full restaurant! And the kitchen staff look like they belong on the beach. Shorts and slops! If they spent less time swatting flies they might be able to tend the grill. Never again!

I was so disappointed in this restaurant, they have a sign that says open until late however when my husband went to book a table for us he was informed that the kitchen closes at 4pm and the bar closes at 5pm, he asked about the sign and was told that it only applies for busy nights, my husband was doing a course and only finished between 4 and 5 so we were never even going to get the opportunity to even try the food. I feel this is an absolute inconvenience for visitors and that during school holidays. In the 4 days that we were visiting, they were not open past 4 even once.

Great little place to get the westcoast vibe! But be patient, service slow and sometimes they run out of stock...thus if you in a hurry or fussy about service and food, this is not for you. Bring patience along and enjoy the view and Westcoast culture. Food quality is very good!

Very disappointing and sad. They used to serve one of the best mussel pots around but under the new ownership it is inedible! Totally over cooked and the worst sauce (flour paste) imaginable.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Inge served us and was brilliant with assisting with food choices and speed of service and sense of humor. When you cant take the general bad service of the restaurants in Langebaan, take a trip to this restaurant to get yourself into a good mood again. It was excellent.

Great restaurant with good food and one of the best views when sitting outside. Overlooking the west coast ocean and Saldhana harbour with lots of small boats and yachts. Enjoy fresh sea food with a variety of good West Coasts wines. The restaurant was on our bucket list and so glad we went there.
