    good, tasty food but super loud so that you can hardly understand each other. The service is okay, but could be faster and more attentive. I can't recommend it for a nice evening, but it's okay for lunch. But the food itself was good!

    I celebrated my 60th birthday at this beautiful restaurant and had the most amazing time. The food was fabulousand the service was awesome. Ihad the Burmese Seafood curry which was delicious. I would come back in a heartbeat when I next visit Plett again. One of the best restaurants we've ever had the pleasure to visit. PS We only noticed the specials on their website the next day. I would perhaps ask before ordering what the specials of the day are as our waiter didn't indicate the specials which was available on the Sushi and selected cocktails and both of these we ordered.

    Food was delicious. Fish and chips was lovely. My partner had the sea platter which looked amazing. The cheesecake was to die for...
