"I went to Surfshack unplanned and was pleasantly surprised! The food and drinks were absolutely worth it. Very fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The vibe was relaxed and the views made it even better. The service was a little slow, but the friendly staff and great atmosphere more than made up for it."

"What a wonderful place to sit back, relax and enjoy the beautiful breath taking view of Camps Bay. Needless to say the food matched the scenery, and the service was perfect. Thanks to our waiter Tawanda (sorry for the spelling) our day was perfect...except for the November winds."

"What a truly beautiful experience we had here. My friends from America were visiting, and we needed a dinner spot at the last minute—this restaurant exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we were met with genuine warmth and exceptional hospitality. Every staff member treated us with such care, and it’s clear that this culture of excellence stems from strong and thoughtful management. Our waiter, Shirley, was absolutely brilliant, along with another wonderful waiter named Junior—both full of life and an absolute pleasure to meet. They truly elevated the evening. My friends from America have said this was the highlight of their time in Cape Town, which says it all. The food was outstanding, and the three whiskey sours I enjoyed were completely out of this world—each one somehow better than the last! An amazing experience all around. Highly recommended."

"I have never experienced alignment in food and beverage before. The flavours married so well that I felt in balance consuming it. What a perfect solo date night. Had the passion gin and the tuna steak"

"Everything was lovely. The jalapeño peppers for the starters were divine despite being warned that they were really spicy they were a perfect starter! Delicious!! I’d give a full 5 stars but the prices were a little on the high side - still great!"
