Two days in Cape Town, two dinners at Sevruga! We can’t recommend it enough, wonderful food, great sushi, fabulous local fish and excellent wine. The staff were terrific, nothing big was too much trouble and the conversations we had with them was both interesting and good fun. We will definitely recommend this to our friends

We were in Cape Town 6 days and fell upon this restaurant on our first day. The food was so good that we had to go back on our last night. The food is amazing, fresh and full of flavour. Marlon the managers made our last night so special. He talked to us, gave us suggestions on which wine would go best with our meal & made sure our deserts had a happy honeymoon signature done with chocolate sauce on the plate. Thank you for making our night special!

Attractive restaurant but, like most places here, very busy. The menu is limited basically to fish and sushi. We are not sushi fans but the fish dishes we had were delicious. More expensive than many places but not exorbitant and well worth it. I had the tastiest mussels in cream sauce I have ever tasted!

Visited Sevruga with the intention of eating lobster and I was not disappointed. 2 of us were each served one and a half Mozambigue lobster which was the best I have ever tasted. Simply grilled with garlic butter so tasty I can’t even remember what accompanied it!The sea bream I am told by another in our party was excellent and the steak good.A very memorable evening.

We have been going to Sevruga for many years but this visit was really the worst. The service was too shocking. We ordered mussels and after half hour oysters were put in front of us. Took another 20 mins to receive the mussels. We ordered a portion of line fish after waiting again he came back and said it’s sold out!!We ordered a glass of Chardonnay and when we came to pay they had made sure it was the most expensive on the menu ( that was our fault for not checking) All in all we won’t go back until they up their game. I think the staff need more training as we have had excellent waiters previously

After 5 nights of eating on the waterfront this was our choice for our last night in Cape Town.We sat outside over looking the harbour and had a wonderful meal.My wife had the Sea Bream which was excellent and I had the signature Sushi dish which was awesome.A great selection of wines topped off a marvellous experience. Special mention to our waiter Emson who looked after us perfectly and was very attentive.A very different type of menu to other restaurants we visited and well worth a visit.

Having not been to The Waterfront for many a year due to the perceived lack of value and quality at the eateries, visited here at the suggestion of a friend. Arrived here mid-afternoon without a booking and luckily there was a table available in the verandah area. Had a leisurely lunch of pan seared calamari and sushi which was excellent. Together with the great ambience and service, we forgot about the foul weather outside.

Six of us arrived here for an evening meal at the weekend. We knew it was busy but the service was beyond acceptable. I asked what gluten free dishes would be available and the waiter forgot to ask the chef so when it came to ordering, I asked again and he asked me what I wanted and he would check if it was gluten free. When my starter of mussels arrived there was bread on the side of the plate. I wasn’t advised if this was gluten free bread and there wasn’t any sign of a staff member to ask so I ended up not eating it. If this bread contained gluten then the cross contamination consequences are very serious. They also brought an incorrect starter for one of our party however, due to the long wait times we didn’t have time to ask them to correct this. Following the starters we had a 90 minute wait for our mains, we had to ask where our food was twice and also ask for bread for the table as we were all hungry. The food was delicious which is why we’re giving two stars but due to the bad service and the lack of understanding around allergies I would not recommend.

Having strolled the waterfront we chose this very popular attractive restaurant. It was extremely busy but we only waited a short while to be shown to a table. One of us chose Karoo Lamb Rump and after waiting ages for our meal our waiter Freddy eventually came to our table to tell us that the lamb which was to be Sous Vide wasn't considered by the chef to be good enough so we were to choose again, with no apology offered. We could have been told this the minute the order reached the kitchen instead of making us wait so long. My partner then chose rack of lamb and patiently waited again. Our other choice of Panfried baby calamari tubes with a herb emulsion was very rich and sickly with too much calamari and I couldn't finish it - the best part of the meal was the chips! The citrus cheesecake was delicious and very attractively presented. The sushi which was being served to neighbouring tables did look quite special so maybe it is not the place to go if you prefer not to eat sea food. The meal was the most expensive we had in Cape Town and was definitely not the best. Our waiter was not at all apologetic or helpful and appeared to be too busy to be bothered with us.

It was our first night in Cape Town and by luck we chose to eat in Sevruga. A nice, busy ambience, excellent relaxed and efficient service, and just wonderful food. Both of us loved the whole experience and frankly, the bill at the end seemed very good value indeed.The only down side was that it set a standard that wasn't matched elsewhere.
