“Sunday afternoon late lunch”
The food was okay, although the portions rather small for the price. The Nachos with Mince could have done with more melted cheese and the Malva Pudding didn't have the option of being served with custard.The music was really awful - there were 5 tables - 4 of them elderly and the music was R&B. At one stage we had to ask them to turn it down as they didn't have an alternative Playlist.Will not be back!

“Knysna trip”
Best place in Knysna service & food not forgetting the Flavored Tequila Green Chilli (so many flavors) my favorite. Prawns with Chilli butter absolutely devine

“Very poor quality”
Definitely not up to standard. Overpriced and food shocking. Chicken strips more batter than chicken and R32 for one medium Oyster (actually cocktail size) was terrible.

“Great vibey restaurant!”
What a great vibey restaurant! The best nachos and cocktails and the best location/scenery! The waiters are all very friendly and always ready to assist. The managers (Mike and Yesheda) are always visible, super friendly, always go the extra mile and it’s service with a smile from the welcome to the dessert! 10/10 for Tapas! They also have live music on Fridays/Saturdays and some Sundays which just adds to the great vibe!

“Really not great”
I don't get it. The whole outside seating area is smoking even though most of it surrounds the kids jungle gym. It's just nonsensical. The tables are wooden benches and the food really wasn't great and having had tapas we tried over half the menu. 6hrs later my meal is still repeating on me. Service was mediocre. This is my 3rd and last time here. At least they're consistent as this has been the same experience every time.

“Tasty food and great ambience”
The tapas was decently priced and very tasty. Special shoutout to the mussels! The location on the little harbour is ideal for an early dinner.

“Bad Management”
Got our food an hour after we ordered. The Restaurant is 60% busy so no excuse. Im my experience food should arive at the same time. After asking management about our baby's food he just ignores us. No follow-up. Food was good but terrible service! Wont be going back anytime soon.

“Superb!”
Stopped for a quick lunch on our drive through Knysna. The Tapas/starters were excellent. Beverages were good but milkshakes were not great value for money. Vibe is really great and has great seating inside and outside. Would recommend for a meal out with family or friends!

Food Service Ambience Value for Money
Tapas & Oyster Bar has a very pub-like vibe, but it is also quite a nice place to have a romantic night out if you find a quiet spot in the corner. They also had a live act the night we went which was nice and chill.
We came on a half price sushi night so we had salmon sashimi and some rainbow rolls. The salmon was fresh and the sushi was made well. We also had the calamari tapas which was tasty and flavourful, although the calamari was a bit chewy. Their frozen Margherita was tasty, and of course you have to have their special Chiquila oysters which were excellent.
I've never been a huge fan of tapas restaurants, as they always end up being quite pricey as the plates add up and the portions aren't enough unless you have a few each. So we opted for a few plates as starters (as I wanted to get my oyster fix for the day) and went to share a pizza some where else after.
Every time I come here, there's a good vibe, great food, and attentive service. My partner and I arrived for an early lunch yesterday and managed to just beat the lunchtime hordes. Our service was quick and efficient.
